Obaseki's Family Dumps PDP, Joins APC in Dramatic Political Shift

By Douglas Jones

In a dramatic turn of events, the family of Governor Godwin Obaseki has made a stunning defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). The shift, led by Mr. Osaro Obaseki, a prominent figure within the family, has sent shockwaves through Edo State's political circles. 

Mr. Osaro Obaseki, in his statement, emphasized the family's desire for a more inclusive and forward-thinking political platform, aligning with the APC's vision for the future. "We believe the APC offers a more progressive and inclusive approach to governance, one that aligns with our family's values and aspirations for Edo State," he declared. 

This move is seen as a significant boost to the APC's standing in Edo State, potentially reshaping the political landscape ahead of upcoming elections. Political analysts suggest that the defection could signal a broader shift within the state, with the APC gaining momentum and support at a crucial time. 

Observers are keenly watching the developments, speculating on the potential ripple effects this defection might have, not just on the PDP's position in Edo State but also on the broader political dynamics at play. As the state's political future hangs in the balance, the Obaseki family's defection is a stark reminder of the ever-changing nature of Nigerian politics.
