IDEALLY, you would expect Governor Godwin Obaseki to send Governor Wike a public congratulatory message on his birthday anniversary today considering the role he played in making sure he got the PDP ticket and he helped him to win the election too.
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) NWC in 2020 appointed the Governor of Rivers State, H. E. Chief Nyesome Wike as the Chairman of Edo State Governorship Election National Campaign Council.
Let’s even forget he sent one of his youthful commissioner, Andrew Emwanta, to Channels TV to cast aspersions against governor Wike recently, he still could have done the needful.
Recall in September 23rd 2020, in Cables Newspaper, Obaseki said, “After I was pushed out of my former party, this house was the first place I sought solace. You took me in as a brother, out of the storm, changed my clothes and gave me food to eat,” he said.
“It was in this house, the campaign council met to work out the key strategies that led us to victory. You mobilised people across the country. You moved to Benin, went through the humiliation and attacks. You supported us and we won.
“It will be a sin against God if we do not come to say thank you. Even if the victory we are celebrating is from God. He has used people like you to make it happen.”
Responding, Wike praised him for standing “firm” in the election, saying he could not have supported a “lily-hearted person.”
“Our work would have been difficult if he did not make himself available. I cannot support a lily-hearted person. Governor Obaseki was firm,” he said.
“It is not easy to fight godfatherism. But he has the interest of Edo people at heart. Together, we have conquered it.
I thank you my brother, Obaseki for carrying everybody along in the party.”
May this never happen to us again in PDP
