A member of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Daisy Danjuma, has said her endorsement of Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki’s second term aspiration was “personal.”
Mr Obaseki is a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“I owe nobody apology for endorsing the second term aspiration of Gov. Godwin Obaseki of Edo,” Mrs Danjuma, wife of former defence minister Theophilus Danjuma, told journalists in Benin City.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that Mrs Danjuma, a former senator, had, in Lagos on Sunday, endorsed Mr Obaseki during a town hall meeting organised for the governor in Lagos.
The endorsement has drawn the ire of the state chapter of the party who felt that the former senator’s stance was not proper.
“I have the right to support whoever I choose to. I am a member of the PDP. I have never left the PDP or decamped to any party like others.
“It is my right to free comment and I have exercised that,” she said.
