His entry into PDP didn’t come easy as he had to strike a tough bargain with PDP leaders before he could get the party’s ticket on the one hand and ensure he runs with his deputy, Philip Shuaibu.
However, events of the past few days in the state indicate that the Obaseki-led camp is set for a political battle over control of the party structure. Obaseki and his loyalists presided over the suspension of Orbih, Ogbeide and others. Addressing the large crowd, the party leaders, Nosa-Ehima said, “all those that have refused to allow the party to grow are being suspended in the interest of the PDP.
“We are here to stay and invest in PDP. I’m the governor to join PDP last and was made chairman of our e-registration process so why should I leave the party. We came to meet PDP as a solid party, the only true party in this country while others are special purpose vehicles for elections. “By this weekend, please complete the harmonisation. I am here to assure you that there is something for everyone that has worked for us and continues to work for us. The important thing is for us to continue to grow our party”, he said.
A close source to Ihama said his principal has decided not to respond to the suspension describing it as baseless and of no effect. Similarly, Orbih’s camp has also refused to comment on the matter.
