Atiku, Wike welcome Obaseki to ‘repositioned’ PDP

Atiku Abubakar

Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, and Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, have welcomed Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In a tweet on Friday, Atiku said he was confident the people of Edo would be better off with the governor now a PDP member.

“Congratulations, @GovernorObaseki on joining our party, @OfficialPDPNig — the truly people’s party. I am confident that the people of Edo State will be the better for it,” Atiku wrote.

“You are indeed coming aboard a repositioned PDP that promotes good governance for the benefit of Nigerians.”

Wike, who had on June 14 hosted Obaseki in Port Harcourt, simply wrote on Twitter: “Welcome to the @OfficialPDPNig.”

Obaseki joined the PDP on Friday after dumping the All Progressives Congress (APC) three days earlier.
