The crisis between Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki and his Rivers State counterpart, Nyesom Wike, has taken a new dimension .
Obaseki took exception to Wike’s attacks on him and his deputy, Philip Shaibu, saying that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is not the personal property of the Rivers governor.
The Edo governor said he will not accept political bullies and overlords, reminding Wike how he had dethroned bullies and high handed leaders even as he emphasised that Edo cannot be bought.
In an advertorial today, the Edo governor accused Wike of unguarded and disruptive tendencies, urging party leaders to call him to order.
Defending his deputy over his remarks about Edo PDP, Obaseki said Wike shoukd have taken a cue from the way the national chairman, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, responded to Shaibu’s remarks.
He collaborated Shaibu’s complaint that “the leaders, executives and members” who defected along with him from the All Progressives Congress (APC) have not been accepted, integrated and harmonised into the Edo PDP.
