The chairman disclosed that they have been in touch “in the last few days”.
Aziegbemi assured that by Tuesday, he would “be able to confirm the exact date he (Obaseki) will be joining, along with his team.”
He added that he was not “aware that the governor has obtained our party’s membership card.
“I can also say that there is no automatic ticket in the offing for him at all”, Aziegbemi said.
Governor Obaseki has been said to have left the All Progressives Congress (APC) after his bid to reverse his disqualification at a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari failed, on Tuesday.
