Former governor of Edo, Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor, said he was 
declared disloyal by Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) his refusing to 
share the state’s resources to party leaders.
Osunbor, who 
defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the 2015 general 
elections, disclosed this at APC’s campaign rally in Iruekpen, Esan West
 Local Government Area, for the Sept. 10 governorship election in the 
state.
He described the PDP as an “evil party”, whose interest was
 not in the development of the state, but to share the resources among 
party leaders. He said that such mentality of the party was the 
reason for the defection of prominent sons and daughters of the state to
 the APC, adding that PDP was a “sinking ship”. “Evil people have 
hijacked the PDP; the party is a sinking ship, which is why I have told 
my people to act like the former president, Obasanjo, by tearing their 
PDP membership cards.
I have told them to join the party that is interested in their welfare and the overall development of the state.“PDP has no interest in what becomes of the state and the people, but their pockets.This
 was why they said I was not loyal because I refused to share the money 
meant to develop the state while I was the governor. That was why they 
started fighting me.The PDP, whether at the local, state or 
federal level can’t do anything for us, it is only the APC that can make
 us a proud people through development,” Osunbor stated.
Addressing
 the rally, the APC governorship candidate, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, said 
that Edo people, having produced great sons and daughters in various 
sectors of the polity, deserved the best.
He said that he was in the best position to govern and offer the people the best, being part of Oshiomhole’s success story. Godwin Obaseki
 promised to not only continue with the laudable projects of the Adams 
Oshiomhole government but to take it to another level through job 
creation and human empowerment.
70 members of the PDP defected to the APC at the rally.
