Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has accused the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, of lying.

Naija News recalls that Adams Oshiomhole, a former governor of Edo State, had rubbished insinuations that he is trying to control the running of Obaseki’s administration.

“My own embarrassment is when they say Oshiomhole wants to be like a godfather. If I wanted to be, I will be nominating commissioners. I only persuaded him to accept one commissioner from me, only one and I gave my reasons. He was a founding member of my campaign organisation in 2006, Mika. Other than Mika, I did not nominate any commissioner; I did not nominate any special adviser, special assistant because for me these are governance issues. So where is the godfather from?” Oshiomhole asked.

Reacting in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Communication Strategy, Crusoe Osagie on Saturday, Obaseki accused the APC Chairman of single-handedly picking the governor, the deputy governor and the Secretary to the State Government.

According to Obaseki, Oshiomhole also compiled the list of the state commissioners in his living room.

“We are once again forced to call the attention of members of the public to Comrade Oshiomhole’s ability to compulsively falsify the facts,” the statement reads.

“The ease with which he lies, especially on issues that are public knowledge, underscores the content of his character and portends an existential threat to the survival of the APC and the impeccable integrity of President Muhammadu Buhari, who is forced to continuously engage with Comrade Oshiomhole being the national chairman of his party.

“If indeed Oshiomhole appointed only Mika Amanokha to Governor Obaseki’s cabinet, why then did the former governor scream to the high heavens and embark on vitriolic media attacks against Obaseki when the governor reshuffled his cabinet, taking out some persons who were sabotaging the administration at the behest of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.

“In fact, Comrade Oshiomhole compiled the list of those to be appointed commissioners in Edo in his sitting room in 2016, asides picking the governor, his deputy and the SSG.”
