As
the Edo State gubernatorial election draws near, the sieve has started to sort
the seeds from the shafts. This was evident at an emergency meeting held yesterday
by leaders of the Edo APC.
Governor Adams Aliu Oshiomhole at the meeting made his stands clearer that he was not supporting any of the governorship aspirants in preparation to the upcoming party primaries.
" I
have not endorsed any aspirant. I am not supporting Obaseki or any other APC
aspirant. The era of godfatherism is over"—he said.
In a sharp facial reaction, the Godwin Obaseki
campaign team that expected the governor to come
out and instruct other aspirants to withdraw from the race look sad and
confused. They all came out looking
grumpy.
Governor Oshiomhole concluded by saying ''The Era of godfathers is over in Edo politics''.
Reacting
to the news, Arc. Ilenre Austin Emuan, a governorship aspirant from the most
favored senatorial edo central district anchored upon the mutual rotational
agreement, he praises the governor for this clarification;
“Our
governor is known as a man who always stands by his word and will all hope he
stands by his words” he said.
