“Governor Godwin Obaseki is not in a relationship with me, he is not my girlfriend, so why should I be quarrelling him?” he said.
“It is not written anywhere that I must go through the Governor before seeing the party delegates.
“They sent me to meet the delegates (not the Governor) concerning how our party will win the 2023 presidential election,” he added.
