Tony Momoh: We Tried Reconciling Obaseki And Oshiomole But We Failed by emkz: 10:45am On Jun 20, 2020 |
Former Information and Culture Minister and Yerima of Auchi Kingdom, Prince Tony Momoh, explained in a detailed interview the various moves made by party elders to resolve the rift between Oshiomole and Obaseki. Here are some highlights of the interview he granted to the Guardian: When he was asked about the accusations by the Director General of the Progressive Governor's Forum on the failure of the party elders to reconcile the warring chieftains (Oshiomole and Obaseki), here is what he said: As an elder of the party, I can tell you that it is not true that party leaders did not look into the matter. I personally held meetings with both of them; four hours with Oshiomhole and another two hours with Obaseki. They were not communicating before. I resolved the issue of communication and the governor went to see Oshiomhole in his house and they cleared all their issues and resolved all the problems that had to do with the hospital, the stormwater project, the university, debts owed and monies to be paid at the end of the day. I resolved all of them. When he was asked about the worst-case scenario, he opined as follows: I still say so; that PDP has its own internal problems. But that internal problem was even exacerbated by the exit of Pastor Ize-Iyamu. Ize-Iyamu has a very powerful following and when he left the PDP, a lot of people followed him to APC. So, APC stood in the position to really overrun Edo State. As for the chances of the PDP, he submitted this: It depends on what they can do to ensure that they retain their support. They won all the 18 local governments; the House of Assembly seats, which is closer to the grassroots than any other. PDP took two senatorial seats and most of the House of Representatives seats in Edo State. PDP had more votes in the presidential election than the APC. So, PDP is not really a write off as such. But because of the problems they had, the party was too weak to win an election. Maybe the problems of the APC and the presence of Obaseki may strengthen them. The conclusion of the interview took note of something which would remain with us for a long time until we sit down to remove the incentives from politics: Look, politics in Nigeria is a business and it is a paying business. And people who have vested interest will hold on to that interest to supersede any other interest. It is natural. They perfect the art of competition, but politics works because of cooperation. If you have competition between parties, it is understandable. But if you have competition within the party then you have the situation that always leads to people breaking away to form their own parties. APC didn’t start it and APC will not end it. https://guardian.ng/politics/how-moves-by-apc-elders-to-reconcile-obaseki-oshiomhole-failed/ 8 Likes 1 Share

Ok, nobody is telling us what their disagreement and conflict was all about... I don't know what could have make them too bitter and unforgiving to each other, could it be why people say they are short and ugly... It seems bitterness and unforgiving mentality will cause them thier fortune politically and other incentives 3 Likes |

selfishness thats the summary You've done governor once, since it's not a family inheritance, allow someone else too instead of going to another party who already have candidates to field It's also selfishness to want to impose your own candidate by force on the people because you are baba isale how will they reconcile , it's all about name, power and money for these mofos 2 Likes 1 Share |
