At the centre of the struggle was the control of Edo State House of Assembly. All the 24 state legislators in the state are members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
To prevent Oshiomhole’s loyalists from taking control of the state legislature, nine out of the 24 lawmakers met at night to inaugurate the assembly and elected Okiye as speaker. Osifo and the 13 others went to court to file a case against the speaker and the eight others.
While the case was in court, the seats of the 14 Oshiomhole loyalists were declared vacant by the factional speaker and was about to conduct election to fill the positions before he was stopped by the court.
All efforts to find amicable settlement by the party, the National Assembly and the president was frustrated by Obaseki’s minority bent on holding on to what it illegally seized.
But beyond playing the victim, I think Nigerians would want Obaseki to answer some questions. His supporters say he was trying to prevent Oshiomhole who persuaded Edo people to vote for him in 2016 from breathing down his throat.
Was it before or after the midnight coup by his nine supporters and his inauguration of the assembly? Why was he desperate to take control of the house when there was no indication of conflict between him and his godfather that has just helped him to victory? How did he fall out with 14 elected members of the house even before its inauguration? If all Obaseki was trying to do with the midnight coup against his own government was to protect the scarce resources of Edo from his godfather, why is he trading a godfather that has no history of treasury looting for professional PDP looters that had been indicted by the courts for leaving Edo State like a war-ravaged city before Oshiomhole took over?
In a participatory democracy, the party is supreme. How come Obaseki who was faithful to the rules of the party on whose back he rode to power suddenly found the same rule so objectionable that he was prepared to destroy the instrument which brought him to power?

Ur writing out of ignorance....

First of all the issue between Obaseki and Oshiomhole started before the state Assembly elections.

Oshiomhole is the betrayal, he agreed with Late Abba Kyari and other stakeholders of the party that Obaseki and Ondo State governor should be given auto tickets.

Lastly everyone knows that Oshiomhole is corrupt.
Oshiomhole's pride led to his downfall.

Imagine

How can Osho have loyalists in the state house after 8 years as governor

Did he forget anything?

Rubbish

Serves them both well

I want supreme Court to even later sack either Obaseki or Iyamu whoever wins

Both are clowns and looters

Just personal interests

if obaseki had not done that thing, oshiomole guys would have impeached him long time ago.

Ur writing out of ignorance....

No mind am, he no get sense.

Two greedy thieves.

Obviously the OP is not happy Edo state did not go by way of Lagos State where a mini god father will use the house of assembly to make the governor jump at it's every will.

Hahahahahah.oshiomonle cannot publicly complain of how obaseki inaugurated 9 out of 24member of house of Assembly because in 2010,d same oshiomole used 8 out of 24 members of d same Edo state house of Assembly to impeach d then speaker zakawanu Garuba.

OSHIOMOLE wants obaseki to pack Edo money and give him so that he can continue to maintain his oyibo wife, and obaseki refused.

The only people complaining or angry with obaseki are the thieves and agbero.

No more godfatherism and no more hooliganism.

Edo is not Lagos where one man dictates what Happens..

Who born you? Who you? Where do you come from? You who?

TRASH

All the comments seen so far reek of outright nonsense. Non so far has answered the question raised by the Op. Many of us only join the bandwagon. That's same way some persons were screaming during the last presidential election. Results came out and the rest they say was history
