The Chaiman Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr Tony Aziegbemi yesterday reported Governor Godwin Obaseki to the party’s National Working Committee (NWC).
The SWC said Obaseki was being misled by three groups.
“We recognise that Edo Governor is being misguided and misled by three groups of individuals who are bent on bringing our party to disrepute.
“Group A:
Aspirants for 2023 and 2024 elections. The two main culprits here are the Deputy Governor and the SSG, who are both rumoured to have governorship and Senatorial aspirations. This is legitimate. However, such ambitions will not be used to rubbish the integrity of the party.
Group B:
Congress losers. These are primarily Dr. Raymond Dokpesi, Chief Mike Oghiadomhe and Chief Tom Ikimi.
“These members have never hidden their disdain for the new executives across the state, simply because they backed the wrong horses and lost abysmally at various congress levels.
“These three members have consistently lost their units in previous elections, despite the exalted positions and appointments they have held in the party. They cannot now be wiser than Solomon by asking for the living child to be split in two.
Group C:
The godfathers. Coming from APC, these individuals have brought the extinct APC culture of godfatherism, where they usually sat and wrote names for Obaseki to install as chairmen, councillors etc.
“They have refused to register in their wards as PDP members, while continuously attending PDP meetings under the governor’s auspices with impunity.
“Chief Osaro Idah, Chief Charles Idahosa, Chief Henry Tenebe, Senator Ehigie Uzamere and Mr Theo Okoh are the key culprits here. Edo State PDP will not be cowed into any illegalities by the state government.
