The governor announced this on Tuesday after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Obaseki disclosed this to State House Correspondents on Tuesday on his way out of the Presidential Villa.
He also debunked allegations that his credentials were not original.
Obaseki had earlier said he would take a decision on his membership of the APC after meeting with Buhari after he disqualified by the APC from participating in the party’s governorship primary slated for June 22.
Obaseki was disqualified over claims by APC of inconsistencies in his certificate. The Governor is expected to defect to the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party to run for second term.
