The Edo state governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki, have askedmembers of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Edo state who is not comfortable with his leadership to leave the party.
Mr Obaseki who is unpleased with the ratification of the suspension of some top leaders of the PDP in the state. He registered his displeasure stating that he is still the leader of the PDP in Edo State.
He stated that some members of the party are spreading lies against him. He added some miscreants in the party are fond of spreading lies about him inorder to divide the party and also discredit him as a leader. He therefore said that anyone who doesn’t want him to lead should leave the party.
“Anybody that doesn’t want me to lead or want to accept my leadership will leave PDP for me”, he said.
He thereby urged party members not to create opposition within the party as there is no opposition party against the PDP in Edo.
“If we go for election today, we will win by 85 per cent. It means we don’t have meaningful opposition and if this is the situation, we should not create opposition inside. I said come let us harmonise and the harmonization is to carry everybody along. We don’t need to lie in politics. Politics is a game of numbers.” “People are greedy, politics is all about to give and take. I appreciate PDP, we came, we won, we are not leaving PDP, will not accept any opposition within PDP, if you are not happy with my leadership, you can leave us”, he said.
