The National Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, has dismissed as untrue
allegations that he is against a second term for his successor, Governor Godwin
Obaseki of Edo State.
He said he stands to gain nothing
by stopping the governor from returning to office.
Oshiomhole told Channels
Television that his differences with Obaseki are not about monetary gains from
his administration, or about him blocking the governor’s second term bid.
He added that at a meeting both
politicians held with four governors, Obaseki confirmed that the APC chairman
nominated only one out of over 20 commissioners into his cabinet.
The former governor noted that
Obaseki later removed the commissioner he nominated along with seven others but
he didn’t take any offence because he was out of government.
He, however, said the contention
was all about issues relating to governance and carrying political players and
leaders in the party along.
Oshiomhole also denied not
wanting to support Governor Obaseki to run for a second term, saying he has
nothing to gain in doing so.
