Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has fired back at his Edo State counterpart, Godwin Obaseki, describing him as a serial betrayer.
Wike stated this on Monday in a statement posted on Facebook.
“If you go and check the DNA of Godwin Obaseki, what you will see in that DNA is betrayal, serial betrayer, and ungratefulness,” Wike said.
TOS NEWS reported how Obaseki told Wike that the PDP was not his personal property.
“It clearly amounts to a delusion of grandeur, for any one man to nurse the idea that he owns or has more stake in the PDP and everyone should pander to him,” Obaseki said.
He added that, “In Edo, we don’t accept political bullies and overlords.”
Wike said the Edo governor was ungrateful to the person who helped him to secure the PDP ticket when he was debarred from contesting the primaries in his former party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He, however, apologised to the former APC national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, whom he said has been vindicated by the face-off between him (Wike) and Obaseki.
“Let me stand today to apologise to Adams Oshiomhole who has been vindicated by telling us that we will see the true colour, insincerity and ungratefulness of Governor Obaseki.
“So let me apologise to Adams Oshiomhole, and to say you have been vindicated and that we were wrong.”
