Amidst obvious crisis afflicting the Edo state house of assembly, which has been linked to the misunderstanding between Obaseki and Oshiomhole, leading to fractionalization of the state assembly. The two pointers in the tiff, seems to have settled grievance in the interest of the state and peaceful legislative atmosphere, one which nearly resulted into a full-blown war
Obaseki who visited Oshiomhole at his home town for the Eid-el-Kabir holidays, at his Iyamho country home, on Monday. He praised the National Part Chairman of the All Progress Congress for the support received from him as well the Muslim community while reiterating his commitment to the development of the state.
Oshiomhole on his part too commended the governor for his “uncommon leadership” and advised him not to succumb to the “forces of darkness preaching division” in the state.
Speaking after the meeting, Crusoe Osagie, special adviser to the governor on media and communications, lauded Obaseki “exemplary leadership”.
He noted that the notion that Obaseki and Oshiomhole are adversaries is being propagated by “morally bankrupt individuals” whose interest is to cause tension and division in the state.
Governor Obaseki , has said few days ago at Oyegun’s event..
“We have met – me and my predecessor in office – and fortunately, we do not have any fundamental issues. And because we do not have any fundamental issues, I believe that whatever third parties are trying to propagate I am sure we can talk over it. I assure you that very soon things will return to normalcy in Edo state.”
