Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has joined the Peoples Democratic Party.
The governor made the announcement on Friday at the Party’s Secretariat in Benin City, the Edo State capital.
Revealing via his confirmed Twitter handle, the governor wrote, “I have officially joined the @OfficialPDPNig to advance my ambition to seek re-election as Governor of Edo State.
“I, as always, remain committed to engendering good governance and sustainable development of our dear state.”
Obaseki, who recently dumped the All Progressives Congress following his disqualification from its primary election, had recently met with some PDP governors to perfect his defection plan.
According to the Independent National Electoral Commission, the governorship election in the state is slated for September 19.
