Godwin Obaseki, the embattled Edo State Governor on Sunday said he will meet with President Muhammadu Buhari before announcing his “next move”.
Obaseki was on Friday disqualified from contesting in the All Progressives Congress primaries billed to hold on June 22 by the 7-man screening committee.
An appeal committee also upheld his disqualification on Saturday.
But Obaseki said he will be announcing his “next move after I complete consultations with my supporters and meet with @MBuhari” an action a presidential source told The Guardian that it won’t change anything.
“On the President settling Obaseki troubles, I think that’s long gone. The window for that has been expired, he’s a man for the rule of law and won’t upturn the actions of the party,” a presidency source said.
“The action taken by the party against Obaseki won’t be changed by the President. If he was to interfere, it might not have gone this way,” the source added.
But according to Obaseki, screening committee action was an “injustice.”
