Edo 2020: Governor Obaseki Runs To Goodluck Jonathan by lekanolas: 8:39am On Jun 24, 2020
Scared that the decision of Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike to pull out of the reconciliation efforts of the Edo State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP ) might affect his chances, Governor Godwin Obaseki has reached out to former President Goodluck Jonathan to save the situation.

Some of the party's governorship aspirants have vowed not to step down for Obaseki who recently defected to the PDP after he was disqualified by his former party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Wike had on Tuesday announced that he was no longer participating in any reconciliation effort in Edo PDP.

He blamed some members of the party's National Working Committee (NWC), who he described as sycophants and tax collectors for his decision.

Some member of the party's NWC had accused Wike of being behind a Federal High Court injunction stopping Obaseki from participating in the PDP primary scheduled for Thursday.

According to Wike, instead of the NWC to carry everybody along in Edo state, they resorted to using the media to blackmail him.

“I have had sleepless nights to resolve the issue in Edo state. The Governors of Edo, Adamawa, and Delta states, know what I have done to resolve the issues in Edo state.

Wike's decision to pull out of the reconciliation was said to have rattled Obaseki and his supporters.

Obaseki believed Wike his a powerful force in the PDP and must be taking seriously.

Although he has called Wike to plead with him to rescind his decision, Obaseki has further reached out to Jonathan to prevail and pacify Wike.

Jonathan and Wike are very close. Before becoming governor, Wike served as a Minister under Jonathan.

Inside sources within the camp of Obaseki hinted that governor had initiated several telephone conversations with Jonathan, which had proved useful in the peace efforts.

Pls don't disturb Jonathan's peace cos he wasn't part of the tax collectors. But why this serious desperation, even when we were once told that he is a fine technocrat who was doing excellently well in the private sector. If the true intention is to serve his people, hasn't he now served for four years? He should return back to his private sector job na. Afterall if he rates himself as having had a pass mark in governance, someone who has passed an exam doesn't need to repeat the class. Must Nigerian leaders emanate only from APC or PDP? Well, since his new hobby is to run to everyone, he may be well fit to lead Nigeria as an athlete to the postponed Tokyo Olympic games in 2021

From one god-father to another all in the name of getting this ticket. Something he could have resolved with Oshiomole amicably before the matter worsened. He's now running from pillar to post. If he doesn't get the ticket, Oshio go laugh his ass out

I think Obaseki is over doing this 'A cry for help'.

He should concentrate on reconciling with Wike in my opinion cause he would need force rather than numbers.

Obaseki, you waited way too long before doing the 'needful'.

Knowing your fight against Oshiomole was a fight against your party, you kept saying "I will not leave APC" like say the party na your property. A handy plan B would have saved us all these 11th-hour consultations.

However, reassuringly, Edolites are solidly behind you. Run all you can.

Just so that, through Edo election we can loud the message to the 'jagabans' of Nigerian politics, that:

Unhealthy Godfatherism can be resisted and defeated;
And, of course, that Edo is not Lagos

G.O, we wish you godspeed!!

I thought Obaseki and his supporters said the main cause of his fight with Oshiomhole is because He don’t want any Godfather. Now He is jumping from one God father to another.
Obaseki has proofed that he can’t be trusted, if PDP make that mistake they will surely regret it. He’s not loyal to anybody but to his selfish self.

His problem is there’s no achievement to speak for him.
He used the last 4 years fighting those that put him there and the remaining to sleep in public. Now he’s running to those that will finish him politically.

It's very bad of him then.
Maybe he could have waited to get 2nd term and fight all of them off.

He is surrounded with sycophants. They mislead him thinking Oshiomhole is his problem, now I’m sure he will realize that Oshiomhole is far better than his new political Godfathers.
Imagine the time and money he has wasted in the last one week he joined PDP.
