Edo APC Crisis: Obaseki Restates He Didn't Betray Oshiomole

The Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has insisted he didn't betray his predecessor, Adams Oshiomhole.

While reacting to reports of being a betrayal, he added that when Oshiomhole had no money when he contested to become governor in 2007 he helped him adding that they both helped each other

Obaseki, speaking with newsmen after submitting his nomination and expression of interest forms for the 2020 governorship election in Abuja, also insisted he did not betray Oshiomhole, who is now the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Obaseki Said,

“In life, everybody gets helped, everybody gets assisted. The person you talked about (Oshiomhole), he had no money when he left Labour to contest.

“We knew what we did to make him Governor. I sacrificed eight years of my life pro bono, I collected to no Kobo to serve him in Edo. So, when you talk of betrayal, the biggest betrayal can be when people betray a cause, when they betray an idea.

“I want to put it on record that I am grateful, he assisted me just as I assisted him. I know the sacrifices we made to make him national chairman."
