Obaseki has no opponent, says Wike

From Mike Odiegwu, Port Harcourt 

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has said the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP’s) governorship candidate in the coming election, Godwin Obaseki, has no opponent.

Speaking on a live programme on Wednesday, he said the people already knew the type of candidate the All Progressives Congress (APC) presented to them following what Comrade Adams Oshiomhole said about him four years ago.

Wike in a statement signed by his Commissioner for Information and Communications, Pastor Paulinus Nsirim, said: “Oshiomhole told Edo people that Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu was rusticated from school; that he poured acid on a fellow student that destroyed his manhood. That he is an armed robber that cannot be trusted with money.

“Such a character cannot be voted for by Edo people. I respect the Benin tradition and I know that Edo people are educated to know that Oshiomhole cannot play on their intelligence. If he is now retracting what he said about Ize-Iyamu, who is sure he’s saying the correct thing now?”
