Obaseki & Oshiomhole. |
Edo State Governor
Godwin Obaseki has said that his refusal to spend public funds on those who claim
to have made him governor is the root cause of the crisis rocking the Edo State
House of Assembly and pointed out that at least 300,000 Edo citizens voted him
into power and if he took care of them everybody would benefit.
Speaking with a Benin
delegation in Abuja, Obaseki said: “The only thing they have said is that I
refused to share money; I am not taking care of the people who brought me into
office and “I said 300,000 Edo people voted for me to be governor; if I do for
the people, everybody will benefit.”
The governor earlier
pointed out that the party’s National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole was not
interested in the peace of the state.
“Is it not ironic that
in a state where we have one party ruling, and that has all the 24 seats in the
House of Assembly, we have this kind of a crisis?
“At the centre, we
have our own person who is supposed to superintend (over) this (matter).
So, if your children
are fighting and you cannot come and settle them, then what authority do you
have to even be a father?”
Thereafter, he
suggested that Oshiomhole and his cohorts wanted him to be their pawn.
He said, “I will not
allow Edo State to be a pawn in anybody’s political chess game. For me, I keep
asking the question, what have I done wrong? What is my offence that they want
to now get people to come and create confusion in the state?”
