    Keyamo Tells Obaseki, Apologise To Nigerians Over ‘Break-Up’ Statement

    The Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, has called on Governor Godwin Obaseki to apologise to the people of Edo State, the people of the Southern region and Nigerians as a whole, following his recent insensitive and reckless statement.

    The PCC’s call is coming just as Governor Obaseki hinted Nigerians that the country would ‘Break Up’ if the All Progressives Congress, APC’s Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, wins the 2023 presidential election.

    In a swift reaction to Obaseki’s statement, Director, Public Affairs and Chief Spokesperson of the Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, said the APC was shocked by the shallowness of thinking, the sheer temerity, and the obfuscating arrogance that pushed Governor Obaseki to make such an outrageous statement against the ruling party.

    “We read with utter amusement the outburst of the Governor of Edo State claiming Nigeria will break up if the APC wins the Presidential election. This is coming from a Governor who turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to the outrageous and divisive statement made by his presidential candidate in Kaduna a few days ago calling for Northerners not to vote for Yoruba or Igbo candidates.

    “This is also coming from a Governor who has so far callously, heartlessly, and undemocratically “broken up” his own State by denying many constituencies of adequate representation in the Edo State House of Assembly by denying the members of their rights to take their seats, even though the members were duly elected,” Keyamo noted.

    The Minister of State, Labour and Employment further noted that by making this abhorrent statement, Obaseki has clearly shown that he must be one of the elements within his party not only misleading his candidate and party, but also enabling them towards inevitable electoral doom.

    “This is to our delight, but we worry that if elected, they will inflict the same divisive spirit on our country as a whole.

    “It is little wonder then, that his exit from the APC to the PDP was a signal of peace within the APC and the beginning of the unending crises within the PDP. It reminds us of the story of the Biblical Satan whose expulsion from heaven restored peace to that realm and pronounced woe upon the earth.

    “Obaseki and his cohorts, like Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State, obviously sold their souls for the Biblical pot of porridge by violating the zoning principles in their own constitution, thereby causing the present implosion within their party – an implosion that he now wishes to project on the country. Compare that to the historical stance of the APC Northern Governors who insisted on the unity of this country by rejecting power offered to them on a platter of gold, but rather insisted on power shift to the South to keep this country together.

    “We are shocked by the shallowness of thinking, the sheer temerity, and the obfuscating arrogance that pushed Governor Godwin Obaseki to make such an outrageous statement against the APC. We call on Governor Obaseki to apologise to the people of Edo State, to the people of the Southern region, and to Nigerians as a whole for making such an insensitive and reckless statement in the face of PDP’s insensitivity to the principle of power rotation in the country,” the PCC’s Spokesperson said.

    He however added that the day of reckoning with the masses is certainly near for the likes of the “Judas of our time, Governor Godwin Obaseki!”
