Even though Gov. Obaseki don waka from APC join PDP, Edo State matter to APC

Politics na game of numbers and every state dey important to any political party.

For Nigeria ruling All Progressive Congress party, di more states wey dem get to govern, di more power wey dem go fit enjoy on top different states.

Until Edo state governor Godwin Obaseki bin resign from APC on June 16, 2020, di party bin dey control 21 states while opposition Peoples Democratic Party bin dey im charge of 15 states.

As govnor Obaseki register as PDP member on Friday 19 June, e mean say di party now get 16 states, at least till di 19 September election happun.

On top of dat, Edo na di only state wey APC bin fit get for South-South Nigeria afta di 2019 governorship election for Nigeria.
