Earlier, the drama revolving around the political scene of Edo State ahead of it's 2020 Governorship selections took another major twist.

A Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt delivered a judgement restraining the incumbent, Governor Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki from taking part in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Edo Primary election, ahead of the Edo 2020 gubernatorial elections in the state.

And now, the governor has reached to the development.

Godwin Obaseki has described the judgement by the High Court in Port Harcourt restraining him from contesting in PDP Edo Primaries, as an attempt by fifth columnists to destabilize the party.

Obaseki made this known through his media adviser Crusoe Osagie in a telephone interview. He said that opponents were already scared and glittery about the overwhelming amount of support him and the party have received in the face of recent developments.

He said:

“ The court order was obtained last night. Our opponents outside the party are trying to use fifth columnists within us to replicate the chaos in their party .

“ They are worried about the popularity and acceptance of the PDP and our amiable Governor so much so that they have become desperate in their quest to stop a contest they know they will lose .”

The restraining order against Obaseki marks the latest development in a series of happenings ahead of the Guber elections in Edo State.
