Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State, has slammed Godwin Obaseki, the governor of Edo State, branding him as a serial betrayer and ungrateful individual.

Former All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman Adams Oshiomole, who warned Wike about Obaseki’s behavior, has been vindicated, Wike stated.

Both Wike and Obaseki have been engaging in a battle of words over the problem afflicting the Peoples Democratic Party’s Edo State branch, according to Anaedoonline.ng (PDP).

Wike had chastised Edo State Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu on Saturday for suggesting that some of his followers would abandon the PDP due to unresolved issues in the state chapter.

However, in a statement released on Monday, Obaseki defended his deputy, calling the assault on Shaibu “quite terrible and utterly uncalled for.”

The governor called on the PDP’s national leadership to summon Wike, saying the opposition party is not his personal property.

Wike claimed he had been warned but ignored the warnings about Obaseki’s behavior in his latest outburst on Monday, in which he reacted to the Edo State Governor.

Wike said he regrets supporting Obaseki in the Edo 2020 gubernatorial race, calling him as the most ungrateful person he has ever encountered, during a speech in Rivers State on Monday.

He also stated that he has invested personally in the PDP and that his state has given money to the party’s success, but he denied threatening the party.

After being handed the exit door in the APC, Wike urged Obaseki to reveal what he had done for the party since joining the PDP.

“If you check Obaseki’s DNA, what you will find in that DNA is treachery, serial betrayal, and ungratefulness,” Wike stated.

“Let me use this opportunity to apologize to Adams Oshiomhole, who has been justified by informing us that we shall see Governor Obaseki’s true colors, insincerity, and ungratefulness.”

“Let me apologize to Adams Oshiomhole to say you have been vindicated. You are right, we are wrong.

“I have never seen people who are so ungrateful in life. I will never betray any man. What is my DNA is sincerity, consistency and teamwork.

“Assuming, though not conceding, I threatened the party, I have invested in the party. Rivers state has invested in the party.

“We have voted for PDP since 1999 till now; ask Governor Obaseki — has he done anything for PDP? Has he voted for PDP? The only election he voted was his own election where we gave him an umbrella.

“So who has more stake in PDP? I have more stake because I have supported PDP always. You have never supported PDP, rather it was when your godfather chased you away, that you came begging.”

On the tag of a bully slammed on him by Obaseki, Wike said the Edo State Governor didn’t see him as a bully when he came begging for the PDP ticket or when he came to appreciate him with his wife after winning the polls.

“You came to beg a bully for you to have a ticket. A bully was your DG campaign and a bully bullied you into government house. You came back with your wife to thank the bully,” he added.
