The leadership of Edo State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged Chief Uche Secondus, the National chairman of the party to call Ebonyi state Governor, David Umahi, to order over the latter’s reported endorsement of Governor Godwin Obaseki reelection.
The party described Umahi’s position on Edo governorship poll scheduled later this year as a “morale-damper unacceptable” .
Governor Umahi of the PDP had reportedly thrown his weight behind the Edo governor who is an All Progressives Congress (APC) member while addressing Southern governors’ wives in Abakaliki, Ebonyi state.
Besides, a member of the PDP Board of Trustee, Senator Daisy Danjuma, had also backed Obaseki’s reelection bid and declared that “it is my right to free comment and I have exercised that”.
However, Edo state PDP chairman, Chief Dan Orbi, in a protest letter addressed to Uche Secondus said members are pained “when they hear leaders, members of BOT and even some Governors uncharitable endorsement of APC embattled Governor Godwin Obaseki.”
According to him, “This practice you will agree with us is condemnable and smacks of indiscipline and ingratitude.
“It defeats the spirit of camaraderie that is supposed to exist within a political party. It is a morale-damper and it’s unacceptable,” Orbih said.
