TRACKING____The long awaited formal defection of Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is set to place Friday at the party’s Secretariat in Benin, the state capital.
Leaders and supporters of the PDP had thronged the Secretariat on the busy First East Circular Road, Benin City Thursday in expectation of Obaseki’s arrival for his formal declaration when suddenly they were informed that the event has been shifted till Friday.
South South National Vice Chairman of the PDP, Chief Emmanuel, confirmed the development Thursday in Benin.
