Members of the Edo State caucus in the National Assembly have backed the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, in the battle between him and Governor Godwin Obaseki.

The caucus, which addressed journalists in Abuja on Thursday, blamed the crisis on Obaseki, asking the governor to issue a fresh proclamation for the proper inauguration of the Edo State House of Assembly.

The lawmakers also accused the Deputy Governor, Mr Philip Shaibu, of displaying “shameful acts of indiscipline and political rascality.”

The Deputy Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Peter Akpatason, who spoke on behalf of the caucus, said, “It was at this point that we decided, as responsible parliamentarians duly elected by our constituents, to speak out and restate the following:

“That we, the APC caucus in the National Assembly, hereby, without hesitation, express our undiluted and absolute confidence in the sterling and patriotic leadership of the National Chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole, who has been doing excellently well and won two tough elections.

“We advise Governor Obaseki and his management to appreciate the damage they are doing to the state and party with their undemocratic and unorthodox political actions and to retrace their steps.

“The Governor should issue another proclamation as stipulated in the Constitution and have all the 24 elected members properly inaugurated so they can duly represent their constituents and make invaluable contributions to the growth and development of the state.

“To stop forthwith all forms of intimidation and harassment of elected officials, appointees and perceived enemies.

“Allow peace to reign in Edo State and work to enhance democratic practices by opening up political spaces.”


The National Working Committee of the APC had set up a high-powered fact-finding mission on the crisis.

We expected nothing different. Parasites are always attached to the best hosts. I just hope both of them sort themselves out as gentlemen. Edo people deserve the best and highest quality of leadership.

Oshio baba

Hmmm... Movie time

This is putting the cart before the horse. The National Working Committee should be allowed to mediate in peace. The Assembly should not become polarized between Osho baba and the incumbent Governor. The State chief executive should be given free hand to run the state. He can then be accepted or rejected at the poll. That's my two cent.

That dude is a goner....


Pastor........ Is our next governor.

.I don't know why most people re ungrateful
I hate betrayals,I don't want to know if there is godfatherism or not,obaseki cudnt av been Edo gov if not for oshiomole
Oshiomole became a governor wit nobody's support except tinubu under ACN,they paid lawyers billions of naira to redeem there stolen mandate from PDP
Obaseki cannot win second term

That one consign una

Oshomole was the labour leader back then,was fighting bad governance,now he has joined the gang, and became the head of it. Ok

These Politicians are friends at night. We must not lose sleep over their matter.

When u dine with the devil, make sure you use a long spoon. These men are terrible politicians.

Osho baba where ur wife na i no dey see her unlike before

God bless the Edo state NASS Caucus for speaking and standing up to uphold the Rule of law.

We the Nigerian youths stand with osho baba

When you see your common enemies fighting.

You can do only one thing.

Dance

These guys are obviously asslickers

Obaseki should not dull himself

He should start building his own support group in edo state

Oshomole that fought against things like these has become the problem

When he was governor who stood on his head for settlements

He was left alone to work which he did

He should allow Obaseki do same

Edo money is not for any Godfather to do what he likes with
