Godwin Obaseki, governor of Edo state, met with President
Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa in Abuja on Monday.
The meeting held while seven other governors elected on the
platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) met with Adams Oshiomhole,
national chairman of the ruling party.
The meetings held 24 hours after the governors met with Bola
Tinubu, a national leader of the ruling party, to intervene in the crisis
between Oshiomhole and Obaseki.
The rift between the duo has split the Edo chapter of the
APC.
While the national working committee (NWC) headed by
Oshiomhole has settled for direct primary in the state, Obaseki and his
loyalists are seeking indirect primary.
At the meeting with Tinubu, the APC national leader was said
to have told them that direct primary would allow aspirants test their
popularity.
Obaseki and Osagie Ize-Iyamu, who is believed to have the
backing of Oshiomhole, would vie for the party’s governorship ticket on June
22.
