Angry Obaseki Reveals How He Will Handle Oshiomhole If He Keeps Disturbing Edo State

Godwin Obaseki, Edo state governor, has vowed to deal with Adams Oshiomhole, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), if he keeps “disrupting activities” of Edo APC.

Their misunderstanding reached its height last year when the Edo house of assembly was divided along their loyalists.

Stakeholders in the APC did not succeed in their bid to reconcile the governor and his estrange benefactor. Speaking at a meeting of chairmen of the APC in the 18 local government areas in Edo, Obaseki said he is prepared to “show Os...
