APC Warns Obaseki Over Oshiomhole’s Indictment

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State has asked Governor Godwin Obaseki not to blame the party’s former national chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, for his second term failure.

A chieftain of the APC in Edo State, John Mayaki, made the call recently, adding that Governor Obaseki and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were ‘suffering delusionary obsession with Oshiomhole’ amid repeated calls for the governor to explain his alleged reckless borrowings.

Mayaki was reacting to a statement by the PDP publicity secretary in the state, Chris Nehikhare, accusing him of acting as Oshiomhole’s mouthpiece for his criticism of the governor’s plan to obtain another N18 billion loan.

Mayaki, however, dismissed the attribution of his criticisms to Oshiomhole as a feeble attempt to distract people from the substance of the matter, saying he had not seen Oshiomhole since the September 19, 2020, governorship election.

He said: “Obaseki and his party of tax-collectors must seek cure to their delusionary obsession with Comrade Oshiomhole. I have not seen Oshiomhole since last year’s election, and I cannot be said to be speaking his mind on any matter.”
