▪︎Says “betrayal, ingratitude are in your (Obaseki’s) DNA”
In a swift riposte to the diatribe against him by the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike on Monday took his Edo State counterpart to the cleaners, describing him as a serial betrayer and ungrateful person.
Wike had earlier spoken at the inauguration of the Eastern Bypass Road in Port Harcourt where he lambasted Edo State, Deputy Governor, Philips Shaibu, asking who his father was.
Wike had also reminded Shaibu of how he was running “helter-skelter” to beg for the PDP ticket during the Edo 2020 gubernatorial election.
But while responding to Wike’s shredding of Shaibu, Obaseki said he would not accept political bullies and overlords, reminding Wike how he had dethroned bullies and high-handed leaders.
Obaseki said Wike shoukd have taken a cue from the way the national chairman, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, responded to Shaibu’s remarks.
He corroborated Shaibu’s complaint that “the leaders, executives and members” who defected along with him from the All Progressives Congress (APC) had not been accepted, integrated and harmonised into the Edo PDP.
He lamented that the defectors were being vilified and ostracised by a cabal led by Chief Dan Orbih.
Obaseki wondered why Wike was always fond of threatening the party and party leaders.
But firing from the hips, Wike said Edo Governor’s former godfather and former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomole, had been vindicated.
He tendered an unreserved apology to Oshiomole for ignoring his warnings about Obaseki.
He declared that everything Oshiomole said about the character of the Edo Governor had come to pass.
Wike said, “If you ask anybody or check the DNA of Obaseki, you will discover that he is a serial betrayer and an ungrateful person.”
