Tension is brewing in Benin City, the Edo State capital, over Friday’s planned rally to receive defectors into the All Progressives Congress (APC).
It was gathered that the National Chairman of the APC Adams Oshiomhole is expected to welcome the former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Mr. Osagie Ize-Iyamu and his supporters into the party.
But Governor Godwin Obaseki, elected on the ticket of the party, but who is estranged with Oshiomhole, said on Tuesday he is not aware of any rally by his party on Friday. He warned against a breakdown of law and order, The Nation reports.
Obaseki on Tuesday travelled with President Muhammadu Buhari to Egypt on official assignment from which they will not return until Friday.
Ize-Iyamu contested the governorship poll on the platform of the PDP against Obaseki in 2016.
Jingles have been running on radio and television stations inviting members of the public to the rally.
Denied knowledge of any APC rally in the state after the security meeting with heads of security agencies in the state, Obaseki said he has checked with the state APC secretariat and the party had not announced officially that there would be a rally......

Even Oshiomole wt his frog head wants to be a godfather.
Anyway,I trust Edo ppl,they are everly gallant,unlike their cousins who one single man put in his pocket.

can their horn stick together so that another person an come and take over

Oshiomole trained Obaseki very well.... his tact's will be used against him...

I saw the banner rosemary ize iyamu did to welcome his brother osagie ize iyamu to Apc at Garrick memorial garden.


I will snap it

When are they going to lock tentacles?

After all, their fights is not about the masses nor development of Edo state

Obaseki was the first to help oshiomole before oshio paid him back with governorship.


It was obaseki that raised funds for oshiomoles first campaigns when he wanted to contest for governorship in 2007

As an insider in Edo APC anytime i hear this obaseki raised funds for Oshiomhole's governorship ambition i get very annoyed.Oshiomhole became the governor of Edo state with the help of so many people within and outside the state.Its true obaseki organized a fund raising event for Oshiomhole but the money realised from that event was less than 10% the financial cost of the 2007 elections.Lucky Igbinedion as governor of Edo state was a major financier of Oshiomhole's project in 2007 that is why till this day both men are Bossom friends behind the scenes.Bola tinubu spearheaded funding from outside the state.During the struggle to reclaim his stolen mandate through the Judiciary,Oshiomhole is eternally grateful to late president umaru musa Yaradua.Oshiomhole as governor of Edo state even admitted during an interview some years ago that the late president gave him #500million to reclaim his mandate.Chief Edebiri(the odionwere of palace), Osagie Ize Iyamu and many others played very special role in the emergence of Oshiomhole as governor of Edo state.Unlike Adams Oshiomhole who was very popular across the nation as at 2007,Obaseki was not popular in Edo state in 2016.Adams Singlehandedly made obaseki governor of Edo state against the wish of majority of Edo APC stakeholders.As i commented in another thread some days ago,i don't see how Oshiomhole and Obaseki can be reconciled at this stage.Its either Obaseki brings Oshiomhole down politically or vice versa.
