The Edo State Governor, Godwin
Obaseki has clarified that the National Chairman of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, Adams Oshiomhole did not facilitate his emergence as governor.
Obaseki, who is allegedly
involved in a face-off with Oshiomhole said nobody made him governor but God.
He spoke at a meeting organised
by members of the APC in the state to ratify the suspension of Oshiomole from
the party yesterday.
The governor stated that he was
not happy with the recent political developments in the state.
He said: “I am not an ungrateful
person. No one made me governor. I became governor by God’s grace, with the
support of many other people. If God had said I would not be governor, no way
would I have been a governor. It is wrong for someone to say he made me
governor.
“No one gave me money. The funds
Oshiomhole initially raised for his governorship ambition was raised by me in
Lagos. If I can raise money for him for his election, why would I not be able
to raise money for my own election?
“If you came into power on some
basic principles, do not expect to change those principles because you have a
certain ambition. If you came to power believing no man is God, then the day
you start to play God, you will get the consequences.”
