Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki has threatened to deal with members of the “Legacy Group”, a faction in the state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, if they continue to divide the party.

It was gathered that Obaseki issued the threat during the inauguration of a 363-member Governorship Campaign Council in Benin City.

Obaseki, who said the PDP governorship candidate, Asue Ighodalo would win 80 percent of the vote, boasted that the party had the structures and programmes to win the September 21 governorship election

The governor, who also accused the Legacy Group faction of collecting money from the opposition party to destabilize the party in the state, added that they were disorganised and were a herd of sheep without shepherd.

“The factional PDP members fighting the party have collected money from the opposition party to destabilise the party in the state. I want to warn such persons to stay away or face our wrath“.
