Edo 2020: Obaseki Reveals ‘Real Reason’ Oshiomhole Is Angry With Him

The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki has accused his predecessor, Adams Oshiomhole of being angry with him for blocking his ambition to become a godfather in the state.

Brandnewsday reports that Obaseki made this claim in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Communication Strategy, Crusoe Osagie, on Monday.

Governor Obaseki said the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was frustrated over his failure to govern Edo State for a third term using Obaseki as a proxy.

Edo Election: Obaseki Vs Oshiomhole

“In 2016 when Oshiomhole nominated and supported Obaseki, his hidden motive was to use Governor Obaseki as a pawn in his game to defraud Edo people and enthrone himself as the ultimate godfather of Edo politics at the expense of the will and wishes of Edo people.

“However, Obaseki’s refusal to mortgage the interest of the majority of the people of Edo state for the satisfaction of Oshiomhole and his handful of greedy followers is the cause of Oshiomhole’s bitterness which has led him to bury himself in pursuit of an innocent governor who is trying to do the right thing for his people,” the statement read.

Recall that Oshiomhole claimed that Obaseki, who he anointed to come after him in 2016, has become a snake.

Oshiomhole claimed the Governor started fighting party members, by destroying their properties and arresting them.

Obaseki decamped from the APC after he was disqualified from taking part in the party’s primary elections.
