War in PDP as Wike dismisses Obaseki, says he’s not his match 

Wike courted Obaseki’s wrath when he tackled  Obaseki’s deputy, Philip Shaibu, over concerns the deputy governor raised as regards the treatment meted to them since their defection to the party.

Visibly angry Obaseki in a statement he personally signed, blasted Wike, sayjng the Rivers State governor was behaving as if he personally owned the PDP.

Obaseki said: “It clearly amounts to delusion of grandeur, for any one man to nurse the idea that he owns or has more stake in the PDP and everyone should pander to him.

“We are all equal stakeholders in the party and an aggregate of the ideas, opinions, and contributions of all leaders and members should form the position of the party and not the view of one individual or a select few,” Obaseki said.

However, speaking on Monday at the inauguration of Community Secondary School, Omuanwa, in Rivers state, Wike dismissed Obaseki as mismatch to him, adding that the Edo governor was a serial betrayer and an ungrateful person.

“I am not in the class of Obaseki, never! We are not the same, we can’t be the same. I was the DG of his campaign, I went there (to Edo) for three days,” Wike said.

“I stayed there without having my bath. I have never seen somebody like that in my life – a serial betrayer.

“Let me tell you Obaseki, I know your cohorts and I will smoke all of you out. This is not the Benin artefact that you were challenging the Oba (of Benin), this is politics.

“Obaseki, I have more stake in PDP than you. I have fought for this party, mention one thing that you have done for the PDP.

“If you check the DNA of Obaseki, what you will see in that DNA is betrayal, serial betrayal, and ungratefulness.

“Let me stand today to apologise to Adams Oshiomhole who has been vindicated by telling us that we will see the true colour, the insincerity, the ungratefulness of Governor Obaseki.

“We have voted for PDP since 1999 till now; ask Governor Obaseki if he has done anything for PDP (or) voted for PDP. The only election he voted was his own election – where we gave him an umbrella.”
