Following the court order restraining Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki from contesting the primary of the Peoples Democratic Party, the Governor has described the restraining as an attempt by fifth columnists to destabilise the party.
Obaseki who spoke through his Media Adviser, Crusoe Osagie, in a telephone interview, on Tuesday, noted that opponents of the PDP were already jittery about the overwhelming support the party was receiving from the people, The Punch reports.
“The court order was obtained last night. Our opponents outside the party are trying to use fifth columnists within us to replicate the chaos in their party.
“They are worried about the popularity and acceptance of the PDP and our amiable Governor so much so that they have become desperate in their quest to stop a contest they know they will lose,” he said.
