Governor of Edo state left APC June 16, and defected to PDP June 19 after he was disqualified from running in Edo state primary Governorship elections by the All progressive Congress party (APC) under claims of presenting false school documents.

The justice of a Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers state,in the person of Justice E. A Obile, restrained Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo state from also running in People's Democratic party (PDP's) governorship primaries which is supposed to hold June 25.


"Justice Obile gave the order in a suit filed by another PDP governorship aspirant, Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama, who insisted that Obaseki did not purchase PDP form or undergo screening within the time-table schedule," LIB reports.
