There were reports Obaseki was considering moving to the opposition party with all the Chairmen of the 18 Local Government Areas and 12 House of Assembly members.

Obaseki’s plans to dump the APC was confirmed by one of his Aide, who said:

“I just returned from the government House where we had a marathon meeting over the vexatious issue.

“And as you asked, yes, we are considering moving to the PDP, all of us. But we are still weighing every option.

“As I speak with you, the Governor is on his way to Abuja, but I don’t know what exactly his mission there is.

“I can also authoritatively inform you that 10 Governors from the north were in Benin today. They were at the government house to persuade him (Obaseki) not to leave the party,” he said.

The screening committee set up by the National Working Committee of the APC, has disqualified Obaseki from participating in the governorship primaries over alleged discrepancies in the academic qualifications and NYSC discharge certificate he presented for screening.
