A former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, and a former senate president, Bukola Saraki, have commended Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, for joining the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Like other chieftains of the opposition party, Messrs Abubakar and Saraki welcomed Mr Obaseki into the PDP, congratulating him for taking a good step.
In a statement issued in Abuja, Mr Saraki noted that the bigger commendation and appreciation should go to the leaders of the Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the various levels for the sense of sacrifice, patriotism and devotion to the progress of the party demonstrated by them in the process of welcoming Mr Obaseki into its fold.
In a separate release, Mr Abubakar expressed confidence that the people of Edo State will be the better for Mr Obaseki's choice.
Mr Abubakar, on Friday, stated that Governor Obaseki was joining the PDP when the party is poised to deliver good governance to the people of Nigeria.
