 Obaseki not on the run, says PDP


The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State has dismissed insinuations that former Governor Godwin Obaseki was on the run.

It said the presence of the former Governor in Edo State would make the incumbent Governor very uncomfortable.

The Edo PDP said Obaseki would appear before any panel or the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) if invited.

It said Obaseki was not interested in running for any senatorial elections having ruled the state for eight years.

Former spokesman of the party and immediate past Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Chris Nehikhare, said it was laughable for the incumbent administration of Governor Monday Okpebholo to accuse Obaseki of doing nothing.

Nehikhare said Obaseki constructed 1300 kilometres of road across the state and built institutions across the state.

According to him: “Obaseki is not on the run from anywhere. He is on a fellowship in a university in the United Kingdom. In any case, his presence in Edo will make the present Governor very uncomfortable. Obaseki is not going to contest any election in Edo State. He has spent his eight years unlike other the other Governor who contested for the Senate. Obaseki has served the 18 local government for eight years.

“He is a free man. Whosoever wants him, either EFCC, DSS should write to him. Governor Obaseki has served his term, Okpebholo should do his own.

“Obaseki is staying away because we want this government to its space. The problem they have with Obaseki is what we called Obaseki derailment syndrome. This is why it is convenient for them to say Obaseki did not do anything.

“The Okpebholo government is acting as if it is in the opposition while the PDP is in government. PDP would have been happy to have a weak government but because that will demean the people of Edo State. The APC keep going back to the past. Those facilities Obaseki built are still there.”

Publicity Secretary of the party, Dan Osa-Ogbegie, said the fly-over being constructed by Okpebholo would not have any economic impact on the people.
