The Presidency has reacted to the
raging political dispute between the National Chairman of the party, Adams
Oshiomhole, and the Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki.
This follows the attack by some
thugs on Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, Obaseki and Pro-Chancellor of Edo
University, Iyamho, Prof. T.O.K. Audu while on their way to Oshiomhole’s house
with Obaseki on Saturday.
While Oshiomhole blamed the state
Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, for the attack, the later denied involvement in
the attack.
Before Saturday’s attacks,
violence broke out in Ivbaro, in the Owan East Local government area of Edo
State as an armed group alleged to be from the state government attacked the
meeting of the Edo Peoples Movement, holding in the residence of an APC
chieftain, Ibrahim Bawa.
Several persons were injured and
property worth millions of naira were also destroyed.
Reacting to the attacks on
Sunday, Presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu simply said, “Let them go and
talk to the party.”
He also declined further comments
on whether it was necessary for President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene in the
crisis.
However, a Presidency source said
that Buhari would not be personally involved in everything as there were organs
responsible for performing certain duties.
The source said, “The President
doesn’t have to be everywhere; he is not like some others; Buhari is different.
