Edo PDP is constantly spinning out intrigues . The reason Wike pulled out of Obaseki’s reconciliation efforts may have been uncovered.
Nyesom Wike is one Governor who says what he wants to without minding whose ox is gored.
Naija News NG reports that Activist and social media commentator, Deji Adeyanju and pro Buahri supporter, D Olusegun tweeted that the reason Wike pulled out was because of his personal deal that was not accepted by Obaseki .
Deji Adeyanju said Wike had prepared his boy, Ogbeide-Ihama to be Edo gubernatorial flag bearer but the entrance of Obaseki into the party shattered that. Read Deji’s tweet below:
“EDO PDP CRISIS: The rumor is that Wike had already prepared one of his boys -one Ihama to be PDP Guber candidate in the state but with the defection of Obaseki to the party, everything changed. This is why the said Ihama dragged Obaseki to a PortHarcourt Court.”

Olusegun’s tweet on the other hand suggests that Wike wanted former state Chairman , Dan Orbih as running mate instead of Philip Shaibu which was against the deal made with Atiku and Saraki . Read his tweet below :
“Apparently the real reason for Wike’s outburst today is that one of Wike’s demands was that Obaseki to use Dan Orbih (Former Edo PDP chairman) as his deputy in place of Philip. Obaseki refused based on seperate arrangement he has with Atiku, Saraki and the NWC that Philip stays”
