…says his narrative on Edo is faulty
…ask Gov Obaseki to name those he bought his ticket from
The political war between the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki took another twist on Thursday as the party has described, Chief Tom Ikimi as a political prostitute.
The Edo PDP also asked Governor Obaseki to name those he bought his ticket from.
Apparently reacting to a statement credited to the former Foreign Affairs Minister in Late Gen Sani Abacha administration, where he wrongly narrated what transpired in Benue and Sokoto governorship race in 2019.
Ikimi had declared in his narrative that:
“The movement of Governors and leading political figures from one political party to the other is not a new phenomenon in our country.
” In the PDP I happen to have served in a special Committee that handled such negotiations recently and it is indeed a breakthrough to receive such caliber of members.
“A Governor or leader joining your party would only do so if among other things he retains his status level.
“All Governors who have relocated have done so as a joint ticket ie Governor and Deputy Governor and the equitable sharing of structures is fundamental in the exercise. Retaining the tradition of the party, the Governor as soon as he becomes a member of the Party he assumes the role of State Leader of the Party.
“The State Chairman and the State Exco should from then on operate in consultation with the Governor.
However, the PDP in clear terms debunked his position where he stated that governors who defected always take along their deputies.
In a statement entitled: ‘The Inflated Ego of Chief Tom Ikimi Deflated by His Actions’ the party said:
“We plead with you not to re-write history. Gov. Tambuwal joined the party and picked a Deputy from PDP.
“His Deputy left and became the APC candidate at the election. Gov. Tambulwa never requested for the dissolution of Sokoto Exco but worked wholeheartedly with the Exco to win his election.
“Kindly cross check as we know that age is no longer kind to your retentive memory.
“Gov Otorm never requested for the dissolution of Party Exco. The chairman of the party at the time of joining the party was Hon. John Ngede and he remains the chairman of the to party to date.
” He appointed the State Vice chairman, Treasurer, and financial Secretary as Special advisers of cabinet rank. And in return he nominated some people to be considered as replacement.
“. We kindly request you pick up your dictionary and look up the words “ integration” and “harmonisation”. They have different meanings.
We wish to state that our Party Exco at various levels were constitutionally elected for a tenure of four years just like the Governor and his Deputy.
“They cannot be dissolved with a Fiat at the pleasure of people like you who have little or no feelings for others.
“Those interested in contesting their positions should wait until the end of their tenure.
“The party equally asked Gov Godwin Obaseki to blame those who collected money from him to get the PDP ticket and insisted he must make their names public at this point.
