Godwin Obaseki, the governor of Edo State, warned on Monday that if the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Bola Tinubu, its presidential candidate, win the general elections in 2023, Nigeria will disintegrate.
Obaseki gave a speech at the state's Edo State Peoples Democratic Party Campaign Council's inaugural meeting.
No rational individual, according to the governor, will support Tinubu and the APC in the upcoming presidential election in February.
He also attacked the Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, claiming that the "Obidients," as the fans of the former governor of Anambra State are known, would soon lose interest.
Obaseki went further to express confidence in the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, whom he said has what it takes to get Nigeria back on the path of good governance.
In 2020, Tinubu and Edo strongman, Adams Oshiomhole campaigned for APC’s Osagie Ize-Iyamu against PDP’s Obaseki in the Edo State Governorship Election which Obaseki triumphantly won.
