NewsNigeriaPoliticsObaseki dares Oshiomhole, vows to deal with him

The political feud between Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo state seems to be taking a dangerous turn ahead of the election coming up later in d year.

Comrade Oshiomhole, who is currently the national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC and his erstwhile political protégé Gov Obaseki are at daggers drawn owing to what many political watchers have described as “irreconcilable differences”.

While Oshiomhole has vowed to deny the governor the second term ticket of the party, the governor on the other hand has vowed to deal with his predecessor.

In a viral video on the internet, Gov Obaseki is seen issuing threats to the national chairman telling him to steer clear of Edo or face his (governor) wrath.

“We are warning the suspended National Chairman. If he continues his activities in Edo State, I will show him that I am the Governor of Edo State. While he was governor, he did not tolerate a fraction of the misdemeanour and misbehaviour he is undertaking today. I have declared that if Oshiomhole comes here to Edo to say he wants to disrupt the activities of the state and the party, we will deal with him the way we know how best to do it.

“All these nonsense they are doing. If anybody in the name of our party tries to do anything contrary to what we have agreed as a party, we will deal with that person ruthlessly no matter who he is,” the visibly enbitered governor said.

“He is not a party man. Look at the dump he kept the party as a Secretariat. With all the resources we had he could not support the party until the landlord evicted us. You are Governor or chairman based on the platform that elevated you. That is why I looked for one of the most beautiful building along Airport Road and said this is the secretariat of the party,” he said.
