Why I fell Apart With Adams Oshiomhole –Obaseki

Edo state governor, Godwin Obaseki, has revealed why he fell apart with his predecessor in office, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.

Obaseki made the revelation today at the ongoing People’s Democratic Party (PDP) campaign rally held at Opujie Primary School, Uromi, Esan North East Local Government Area..

The governor said the reason he fell apart with Oshimohole was that he declared a state burial for influential politician and late chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Tony Anenih..

“When Chief Anenih died, I was not in PDP, but I declared a state burial for him because of his contributions to our dear state and Nigeria.

“This was one of the things that created issues between me and Oshiomole who never wanted it.

“He considered it an unforgivable sin which he could not overlook. But I have to do what is good. We are all one. Edo State is one.

“And that is why I am here today. For Edo to be one and united, I have to support Esan man for governor. And not just an Esan man but a capable, competent, intellectually sound person with good track record in the person of Asue Ighodalo,” Obaseki stated.

The Eagle published yesterday videos of uncomplimentary exchanges between Adams Oshiomhole and Betty Obaseki, the governor’s wife.
