Following the fall out of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) primary election where Oseleka Obaze allegedly emerged in a fraudulent means, the aggrieved aspirants and members at the primary election may have decided to work for Governor Willie Obiano in November 18 governorship election in the state against their own party candidate to express their anger.

They have decided to support Obiano secretly because of anti-party offense”.
“Obi and Obaze have been sending mediators to plead and calm the aspirants down but to no avail.
