Obaseki, at the end of the meeting with Buhari, told State House correspondents that it would be immoral for him to return to his former party – APC.

PDP’s Obaseki had defeated Osagie Ize-Iyamu of Buhari’s APC and others to win the last Saturday’s historic governorship election in Edo State.

The governor dumped the APC for the PDP following his disqualification by the ruling party from participating in its primary election.
