The Tinubu-Shettima presidential campaign council says
Godwin Obaseki, governor of Edo, is “toxic” and unfit to be governor.
On Monday, at the swearing-in of members of the Edo state
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign council management committee, Obaseki
had said Nigeria will break up if APC wins the 2023 presidential election.
Responding to the governor’s comment in a statement on
Tuesday, Bayo Onanuga, spokesman of the Tinubu-Shettima presidential campaign
council, said Obaseki’s statement shows he is not fit for the role he currently
occupies in the state.
“For a man who swore an oath of allegiance to the
sovereignty and unity of Nigeria to be a purveyor of ill-will towards the same
country because of partisan politics smirks of total irresponsibility and
recklessness unbecoming of a governor who has a constitutionally sanctioned
duty to preserve the unity and indivisibility of Nigeria,” the statement reads.
“It is worth stating
that we are not in any way surprised about Obaseki’s outburst about Nigeria’s
breaking. He is, by nature, a divisive, obnoxious and toxic human being that
lacks the introspection and contemplation expected of a person occupying the
office of a governor. He is obviously a man bereft of any iota of emotional
intelligence and perhaps a misfit for the role he currently occupies.
“Obaseki should know by now that Nigerians do not want to
have anything to do with his party and Atiku. And the signs are there for all
to see: Obaseki’s PDP cannot even rescue itself from internal implosion.
“Nigeria remains secure in the hands of our party APC. And
the future is even brighter with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running
mate, Senator Kashim Shettima.
“Their candidacy has
brought RENEWED HOPE across the country. We believe Nigerians will invest their
trust in our party and a renewed greatness is our destiny.”
Obaseki was formerly a member of the APC until he lost the
party’s ticket to seek re-election in 2020
