John Odigie-Oyegun, former
national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says Adams
Oshiomhole, his successor, is the biggest distraction to the administration of
Godwin Obaseki, governor of Edo.
Odigie-Oyegun was reacting to the
crisis rocking the Edo state house of assembly.
In a statement by Ray Murphy, his
special adviser on political affairs, the former national chairman accused
Oshiomhole of engaging in anti-party activities, saying he is the one
distracting Obaseki from focusing on governance.
He described what is happening in
the state as “unfortunate”, adding that Oshiomhole is heating up the polity
since he does not want the governor to be reelected.
“This party must be stronger
because we cannot go into the 2023 general elections with these discordant
tunes especially as President Buhari will not be contesting. We need to get our
acts together,” he said.
“Oyegun has no personal
grievances with Oshiomhole but Nigerians must know that he cannot go to equity
with unclean hands.
A “cold war” between Obaseki and
Oshiomhole reportedly split the assembly into two.
Oshiomhole is reported to have
been perfecting strategies to oust the governor since he had the majority of
the lawmakers in his camp.
