ADP woos Obaseki, promise to grant him waivers
The Action Democratic Party has expressed its willingness to welcome Edo State Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki, “with open arms’’ should the embattled governor decide to defect to the party.
The National Publicity Secretary of the ADP, Mr Adelaja Adeoye, made the announcement in an interview with NAN in Lagos.
Adeoye was reacting to the disqualification of Obaseki by the Screening Committee of the APC, which barred the governor from participating in the party’s primaries, scheduled for June 22.
He said that the ADP was operating an open-door policy, adding that the party would gladly admit Obaseki and “accord him every respect as a sitting governor.”
“Yes, if Obaseki decides to join ADP today, the party will welcome him with open arms. The party runs an open-door policy. So we will gladly receive him.
“He is the sitting governor so we may give him some waivers and will accord him all the respect as the occupier of the number one office in the state.
“However, we will expect the governor to follow laid-down rules and abide by the principles of the party should he decide to join us to seek our ticket.
