The Special Adviser to Edo State Governor on Media and Communication Strategy, Mr Crusoe Osagie, has said the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, is disappointed because Governor Godwin Obaseki refused his quest to become a godfather in the state.
Osagie, in a statement on Monday, said Oshiomhole was just bitter because of his frustration over his failure to achieve his aim of governing Edo State for a third term by using Obaseki as a proxy.
Osagie stated: “In 2016, when Oshiomhole nominated and supported Obaseki, his hidden motive was to use Governor Obaseki, who he thought would be a pawn in his game to defraud Edo people and enthrone himself as the ultimate godfather of Edo politics at the expense of the will and wishes of Edo people.
“However, Obaseki’s refusal to mortgage the interest of the majority of Edo people for the satisfaction of Oshiomhole and his handful of greedy followers is the cause of Oshiomhole’s bitterness which has led him to bury himself in pursuit of an innocent governor who is trying to do the right thing for his people.”
