Sequel to the Court of Appeal ruling which suspended Oshiomhole as the All Progressives Congress (APC) chairman, the leadership crisis in the party exacerbated when two chairmen emerged hours later.
Meanwhile, Obaseki, on Wednesday in Abuja met with the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum, Aminu Tambuwal and the PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus.
Although details of the meeting were still sketchy as of the time of filing this report, it was however gathered that the two PDP leaders and some others in attendance, gave the Edo State governor assurances of their support.
According to reports, a source privy to the meeting said: “The meeting held after a virtual meeting with PDP governors in their various locations. That is the much I can say.”
It was gathered that issues discussed included the fate of Obaseki’s deputy and others who would join the PDP with him.
The meeting came barely one week to the Edo State PDP Primary.
