Court Order: My Opponents Have Become Jittery – Obaseki

Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State, has described the suit filed against his interest to contest in the primary of the Peoples Democratic Party as an attempt by fifth columnists to destablise the party ahead of the governorship election in the state.

Obaseki stated this on Tuesday through his Media Adviser, Crusoe Osagie, during an interview with Punch.

Osagie noted that the opponents of PDP are scared of the overwhelming support the party is receiving from the people of Edo State.

He said, “The court order was obtained last night. Our opponents outside the party are trying to use fifth columnists within us to replicate the chaos in their party.”

“They are worried about the popularity and acceptance of the PDP and our amiable Governor so much so that they have become desperate in their quest to stop a contest they know they will lose.”

He further stated that the state Governor is going to the court to seek the vacation of the restraining order.

Obaseki called on the people of Edo State, his supporters, and members of the PDP, to remain calm and law-abiding.

The further stated that he is confidence that he will get justice as his legal team present facts of the matter before the court.
