Godwin Obaseki, governor of Edo, on Saturday met with Adams
Oshiomhole, former chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), at an event
in the state.
Obaseki fell out with Oshiomhole, his predecessor, ahead of
the 2020 governorship election in the state.
The feud began over political differences and this led to
the defection of Obaseki from the APC to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
despite the efforts of some stakeholders to reconcile them.
Their misunderstanding reached its height when the Edo house
of assembly was divided in its support of both politicians.
Obaseki would later seek reelection under the PDP and
subsequently defeated Osagie Ize-Iyamu, candidate of the APC who had the
backing of Oshiomhole.
Despite trading words multiple times while the rift lasted,
Obaseki and Oshiomhole were civil towards each other when they met in Auchi,
during the birthday thanksgiving of Thomas Oleghe at Immaculate Conception
Cathedral.
While speaking with journalists after the event, Obaseki
said he has nothing against his predecessor, but only disagrees with his style
of politics.
“I don’t have anything personal against Oshiomhole. I may
not like his politics, but he has not done anything personal against me. We all
are interacting with the interest of the country and the development of our
community at heart,” he said.
Oshiomhole, who also spoke with journalists, described
Obaseki as “his brother and friend.”
“Once the governor speaks, the matter ends,” he said.
