Yahaya Bello, governor of Kogi state, says the exit of Godwin Obaseki, his Edo counterpart, from the All Progressives Congress (APC) is painful.
Obaseki had resigned his membership of APC after he was disqualified from the ruling party’s gubernatorial primary for the 2020 election.
He subsequently moved to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) where he was granted waiver to contest the primary scheduled for Thursday.
Speaking with state house correspondents after he and his counterparts from the north-central met with Ibrahim Gambari, chief of staff to the president, Bello said incumbency factor cannot save Obaseki in the September election.
“We have seen those in power before that are dethroned, we have seen practically how President Muhammadu Buhari of the APC dethroned the former president,” he said.
