The Governor on Sunday met with with the Governor of Rivers State, Nysome Wike at Government Port Harcourt.

The Meeting with Wike, a PDP Governor was seen by many as reaching out to the leadership of the party on the possibility of decamping to the party and possibly flying the flag of the party.

A seven-member screening committee constituted by the ruling All Progressives Congress disqualified Obaseki from contesting in the party’s primaries billed to hold on June 22.

He was disqualified on Friday over alleged discrepancies in his personal and academic records. His main challenger, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, was cleared.

Obaseki has said he will not appeal the panel’s decision.

On Saturday, the party’s national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, said in Abuja that Obaseki had abused his powers as governor of Edo State.

Political analysts and commentators had hinted that the governor might join the opposition People’s Democratic Party to avail him a chance to contest for a second term as the state governor.

But Obaseki said he will be announcing his “next move after I complete consultations with my supporters and meet with @MBuhari” before announcing my next line of action.
