In a shocking political twist, the family of Governor Godwin Obaseki has abandoned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the All Progressives Congress (APC). 

The family's patriarch, Mr. Osaro Obaseki, led the defection, citing a desire for a more inclusive and progressive political platform. 

This unexpected move is seen as a significant boost to APC's fortunes in Edo State, potentially paving the way for a shift in the state's political landscape ahead of the September 21st Governorship Election.
