The governing All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated it has no record of the defection of embattled Edo Governor Godwin Obaseki from its fold.
Reacting to the reported defection of the Governor, the National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, in a terse statement in Abuja on Tuesday said: “We cannot comment at this moment on media reports suggesting the Edo governor or anyone else has left our great party.
“The party has no record of the reported defection of Governor Godwin Obaseki from the Progressive party”.
Obaseki had informed he was leaving the APC on Tuesday afternoon while leaving the State House.
The party disqualified the Governor from seeking re-election on its platform on the ground of “defective qualifications.”
