Godwin Obaseki, governor of Edo, has advised his counterpart in Rivers, Nyesom Wike, to “show respect” to party members.
Obaseki and Wike are both governors on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The Edo governor was reacting to Wike’s comment on his deputy, Philip Shaibu.While speaking at an event in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Wike tongue-lashed Shaibu for daring to threaten the PDP on television.
Shaibu had appeared on a Channels Television programme where he said he and Obaseki may leave the PDP if the party continues to treat them as outcasts.
The comment did not sit well with Wike who said the PDP gave Obaseki and Shaibu the party’s ticket when they were denied the same by the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the 2020 state election.
Wike said he has written to the leadership of the party at the national level to discipline the deputy governor for the comment.
