A former member, House of Representatives, Hon Patrick Obahiagbon, says the National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole, has not instructed or engaged anybody or group to search for replacement for his successor, Governor Godwin Obaseki ahead 2020.
Obahiagbon said that Oshiomhole knew that Obaseki would toe an independent stand on issues when he selected and campaigned for him to succeed him, therefore, was not taken aback at the recent developments in the state.
“The National Chairman, Comrade Oshiomhole has not told anybody to go and organize for him on the understanding that he wants a replacement for the incumbent and I am sufficiently close to him to know so. The position of the Comrade National Chairman is one of avuncular neutrality and statesmanlike Olympian prediction for now.”
“I am still too dazed, benumbed, ‘flabberwhelmed and overghasted’ at the needless opprobrious miasmatic apoplexy and eschewable political hemorrhage oozing from Edo State or the land of Igodomigodo.
“That I am still not gladiatorially habilimented speaks cornucopiously to the fact that the Comrade National Chairman of APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole is in truth and indeed not yet fighting anybody and not in a war mood even though sufficiently provoked.
“I can see your facial expression of shock but that is the truth. Take my word to the bank. Comrade Adams Oshiomhole is not fighting anybody,” he verbalized.
