The former national chairman of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has claimed he fought off godfathers to
ensure Governor Godwin Obaseki’s emergence in Edo State.
Oshiomhole stated this on Monday, while speaking with state
house correspondents after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Aso
Rock, Abuja.
“There is no village I go to that people do not know me.
“It is this that I used to override the godfathers in Edo
State for two consecutive terms and even got the governor elected through
elections,” he said.
Obaseki has previously claimed Oshiomhole had no money when
he contested to become Edo state governor in 2007.
Oshiomhole, who was a former president of the Nigeria Labour
Congress (NLC), contested under the Action Congress (AC) and lost to the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Oserheimen Osunbor.
However, he challenged the outcome of the election in court
and was declared winner a year later.
