PDP convention: Delegates from Wike, Orbih's faction turned back at the gate of the venue of the convention

Our team of reporters currently at Abuja say that delegates from Governor Godwin Obaseki have been received warmly at the venue of the People's Democratic Party PDP National Convention. A reception party was sent to receive the national delegates at the airport yesterday before being conveyed to a 5 star hotel in the nation's capital.

We can confirm that delegates tag have since been given to all those from Governor Godwin Obaseki and they are currently adorning them at the venue.

The following persons were sighted already at the venue preparing to exercise their franchise:

Fred Atah

Odion Olaye

Anslem Ojezua

Dr. Michael Ehizokhale

Kenneth Imasuagbon

Monday Abulu

Henry Tenebe

Emmanuel Okolo

Roselyn Unoarumi

Hillary Ehikoya

Idehen Solomon

Osaro Idah

Osaze Ero

Gabriel Igbinedion

Ahmed Uwubamwean

Yisa Braimah

Johnson Abolagba

Charles Egbe

At the gate of the venue, PDP national convention committee were seen using the brochure of Delegates that ikosamede.com published yesterday. 

However, the same level of warm reception accorded the delegates from Governor Godwin Obaseki could not be said of the delegates from Wike and Orbih.

As at the time of filing this report all Delegates from Orbih were turned back with security operatives threatening to place them in Black Maria vehicles for attempting to disrupt the process.

However, only Orbih was allowed into the venue. Wike was seen making series of phone calls in attempt to upturn the process, but the national leadership of the party has met his attempts with stiff resistance.

Meanwhile the disappointed fake delegates are on their way to catch the next Big Joe bus to Benin. The reason for choosing Big Joe could not immediately be ascertained as at the time of filing this report.
