Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has debunked statements attributed to him over his ongoing disagreement with his Rivers State counterpart, Nyesom Wike.
The statement making the rounds on social media said he (Obaseki) and others are meant to provoke crisis and cause disaffection in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
However, in a statement on Thursday, the governor discredited the statement, which he said was the handiwork of mischief-makers.
Obaseki noted that Edo State is open to a harmonious resolution, as the national leadership of the party is already dealing with the dispute.
According to him, “There has been a flurry of statements and comments on social media by mischief makers who are hiding under the pretext of the ongoing conversation between leaders within the Peoples Democratic Party to stir crisis and cause disaffection.
“These statements and irresponsible behaviour are outrightly condemned. We hereby distance ourselves from the actions of these detractors.
“The national leadership of the party is already dealing with the issues and we are open to the harmonious resolution of whatever concerns that may arise.”
