The Peoples Democratic Party has given its opinion as to why the All Progressives Congress (APC) national leader, Bola Asiwaju Tinibu, is angry with Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo.
According to a statement by the PDP's national spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, published on Saturday, August 8, the APC leader is at odds with Obaseki because he refused to follow the orders of the cabal in the ruling party, Daily Trust reports.
Ologbondiyan alleged that Tinubu's anger proves that some power blocks in the APC had a hand in the attempt to seize the Edo state House of Assembly recently.

Supporting to the PDP's spokesman's position, Chief Dan Orbih, the chairman of the party's campaign council in Edo called on Tinubu to allow the electorate in the state to choose their leader in the coming gubernatorial poll.
Orbih said: “Tinubu should leave governor Obaseki alone because he is not a dictator like him.
“It doesn’t make sense for him to sit in Lagos and draw up impeachable offences for the elected governor of Edo state.”
