Oshiomhole Speaks On Plot To Impeach Governor Obaseki

Former Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, has dismissed claim that he is planning to impeach Governor Godwin Obaseki of the State.

Earlier, the Special Adviser to Governor Godwin Obaseki on Media Projects, Crusoe Osagie, had said that a recent statement by the former Edo State Governor on the fate of his principal in the Edo State House of Assembly polls had exposed Oshiomhole’s insidious plan to oust his successor through impeachment.

Osagie, however, expressed confidence that Edo people, as they did in 2020, will again rise in defense of the governor at the polls on Saturday, March 11, and vote massively for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), electing a House controlled by the PDP.

He further noted, “It is also curious that it is Oshiomhole who has come forward with the agenda of the APC and not any of the candidates. One wonders if Oshiomhole will be a member of the Edo State House of Assembly after the polls. This, obviously, points to who and where the instructions will be issued if the party’s candidates are mistakenly elected into the House.”

While reacting, Chief Media aide to Oshiomhole, Victor Oshioke said Governor Obaseki is scared of the looming consequences of his reign of terror.

He said that no man is God and Oshiomhole is not God, adding that the former governor has never pretended to have godly powers, so he cannot install or decree who becomes a member of the House of Assembly.

The former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress said, “Godwin Obaseki is a corrosive politician whose attitudes are patently leprous in nature. He contaminates and destroys any party, place, or person that he associates with.

“For almost seven years, he has governed Edo State like Herod. Totally insensitive to the aspirations, frustrations, and cries of the people who elected him.

“But on February 25, 2023, Edo people unambiguously rejected him and his PDP faction in the Presidential, Senate and House of Representatives polls. For the first time since the return to democracy in 1999, Edo State PDP failed to win any seat in the national assembly, a direct consequence of Godwin Obaseki’s cantankerous, vicious and reckless use of state power to intimidate, oppress, terrorise and pauperise our people.’”
