Edo Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) after meetings with President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday.
Obaseki disclosed this to State House Correspondents on his way out of the Presidential Villa.
He also debunked allegations that his credentials were not original.
Recall that the embattled governor had promised to disclose his next move after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.
Mr Obaseki also said in a tweet on Sunday that he would be consulting with his supporters.
“I appreciate the sustained show of solidarity, support and goodwill from Edo people and Nigerians in the face of injustice by the @OfficialAPCNg screening committee,” he wrote.
“I will be making my next move known after I complete consultations with my supporters and meet with @MBuhari.”
Obaseki, who is seeking a second term in office, was on Friday disqualified from partaking in the party’s primary scheduled for June 22 over discrepancies in names on his certificates and for dragging the party to court.
The APC National Working Committee led by the party’s national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, upheld the disqualification on Saturday.
