Special Adviser To Obaseki Reveals Reason For Feud Between Oshiomhole And Edo Gov
The Special Adviser on Political Matters to the Governor of Edo State, Chief Osaro Idah, has revealed the cause of the ongoing feud between Governor Obaseki and the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress APC, Adams Oshiomhole.
Idah revealed that Oshiomhole denied his boss the opportunity to nominate a federal appointees from Edo State to the cabinet of the president Muhammadu Buhari.
He disclosed this at a meeting with the ward leaders in Oredo Local Government Area, of the state. Adding that, unlike Chief Odigie Oyegun as National Chairman of the APC, who would not interfere with federal appointments in the state, Oshiomhole continued to interfere in such appointments.
He said Obaseki had hitherto always allowed Comrade Adams Oshiomhole to have his way in order to preserve the peace in the state.
Idah further revealed that of the eight federal slots assigned to Edo State, the governor recommended only one person, but Oshiomhole still interfered and the person was dropped.
According to him, “Edo had eight slots for its indigenes for federal appointments, but Comrade Adams Oshiomhole filled all the positions. The only nominee the governor submitted for National Population Commission (NPC) Comrade Oshiomhole replaced him with his person.”

The meeting had in attendance prominent members of the APC in Oredo Local Government, including the ward and local council leaders, who were feted by the state governor.
