However, in a statement issued yesterday by Issa-Onilu, the APC said the party had no record of the governor’s resignation.
He said: “The party has no record of the reported defection of Governor Godwin Obaseki from the progressive party. We cannot comment at this moment on media reports suggesting the Edo governor or anyone else has left our great party.”
However, the Chairman of the pro-Obaseki faction of APC in Edo State, Mr. Anselm Ojezua, has said he will not move with the governor to another party.
Ojezua, in a telephone interview, said he was elected as chairman of APC with a four-year mandate, which expires by 2022.
“I still have my mandate as the elected party chairman of APC in Edo State which expires by 2022 and I intend to complete that mandate,” he added.
