PDP, Supreme Court Judge Plotting To Remove Obaseki‎ – Party Chieftain Alleges

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Edo State, James Ifaluyi-Ogbeide, has exposed alleged plot by the party leadership to sack Governor Godwin Obaseki through the Supreme Court.


Ifaluyi-Ogbeide said the plot to use a Supreme Court justice was hatched at a meeting of PDP leaders held in Port-Harcourt.

He told newsmen that he decided to raise the alarm to stop desperate plans by the party leadership to manipulate the electoral victory of Governor Obaseki at the Supreme Court.

Ogbeide said the leadership of PDP had set aside a huge sum of money to procure victory at the apex court, alleging that a Supreme Court justice from the South-South zone had offered to assist to sack Obaseki.

“The discovery of most unholy scheme by the People’s Democratic Party to pervert the course of justice and condemn the people of Edo as many years of ungodly wretchedness and black misrule as possible”, The Nation quoted him as saying.

“It has come to my knowledge that a terrible séance held recently in Port Harcourt consisting nefarious characters loyal to the People’s Democratic Party.

“The fiendish meeting, which was assembled by top PDP members and had in attendance stakeholders in Edo state governorship was conveyed to analyse how to sabotage the mandate of the people of the state”, he claimed.
