Breaking: PDP Speaks With Obaseki After Governor Dumps APC

The National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kola Ologbondiyan has spoken with the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki on Tuesday.

The move is coming after Governor Obaseki disclosed that he has officially resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC).

It will be recalled Obaseki who announced on Tuesday that he has left the APC, said he will be seeking a second term in office on another platform. He, however, did not disclose the new party he will join.
