Chief Olabode Chief Chief Olabode Chief

Chieftain of the largest opposition party, PDP, Chief Olabode Chief, has hit hard at another statesman, Mr Ayodele Fayose for saying that Governor Godwin Obaseki will lose the upcoming governorship election in Edo State.

Speaking to Plustv Africa, Fayose, said that despite being a PDP member, he would not support Obaseki’s re-election bid, Vanguard reports.

Reacting to the statement, the former Deputy National Chairman of the party, Chief George said the former Ekiti State governor was on his own.

“I find it completely unacceptable. How can a committed member who has benefited immensely from the party pitch his tent against our own candidate in Edo State?

“I am countering such remarks by telling the people of Edo State that we, members of the PDP, in the South-West are in support of Obaseki.

“We pray for him and we will work and support for him to win the election.

“I and the PDP in the South-West dissociate ourselves from Fayose’s statement. He is on his own because we do not know where that is coming from,” according to Vanguard.
