Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) could not hide their excitement over the defection of the Edo state Governor, Godwin Obaseki from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to the main opposition party.

The PDP governors are particularly excited that Obaseki’s entry into the party has increased the number of states controlled by the PDP from 15 to 16.

Similarly, the governors, particularly those from the South-South, are also happy that with Obaseki’s defection, the PDP is now in control of the entire six states in that geopolitical zone.

In a statement on Friday by the Director-General of the PDP Governors Forum, Cyril Maduabum, the governor described Obaseki’s entry into PDP as a homecoming to a democratic platform.

The Forum added that the PDP accommodates all Nigerians desirous of good governance, accountability and deepening of democratic tenets.

Welcoming Obaseki to the PDP, the governors said, “We welcome you to the PDP Governors’ Forum under the leadership of His Excellency, Rt. Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal and all other PDP Governors in the Forum.

“Your entry into the PDP family is a homecoming to a democratic platform that accommodates all Nigerians desirous of good governance, accountability and deepening
of democratic tenets.

“The PDP Governors welcome you to use the PDP as a vehicle to enthrone rapid economic, social and infrastructural development of Edo State.

“As you subject yourself to the forthcoming primaries of the party, we wish you success and God’s blessings and guidance.

“The Forum extends the solidarity and support of your colleagues to you and all of your teeming followers into the party and assures you all of accommodation and level
playing field.”
