National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress , Comrade Adams Oshiomhole says he is usually embarrassed when accused of trying to play the godfather in Edo State politics.
The APC national chair, who disclosed his numerous efforts to restore peace in Edo State APC, recalled how he reconciled Obaseki with an APC chieftain, Charles Idahosa, with whom he had issues.According to Oshiomhole, “There was a time the governor told me that he would not have anything to do with Charles Idahosa because he lost his booth during his own governorship election and so has no electoral value. I invited both of them to my house and he did not know the other party was coming.
“I now asked him, who are you living the house for? Those in government are the tenants in power, the landlords are the members in the party and the leaders are the owners of the party. “It is the party that produced the governor, so if you are not happy with the governor; and are running away because of the governor, you will be leaving your own house for a tenant. This tenant’s maximum tenancy is eight years, but your party membership can be for life.
The APC Chair further stated: “I think as a brother and to be honest, I regard the governor as my brother and a very close friend, what I owe him is to assist where he wants me to. To help him make peace with anyone whom he has issues with. You people forgot when the governor went to Uhumwonde, at the peak of his crisis with Idahosa, saying that he as the governor was going to take the leadership in Uhumwonde since the place is his ancestral home.
Shaibu, who gave the assurance during a get-to-gether breakfast with newsmen at his Aideyen residence in Benin City, said the 2020 Edo State governorship election will be very peaceful and Governor Obaseki will be re-elected into office for the second time while those currently flexing their muscles would join them to celebrate his victory at the poll.
