Governor Obaseki Is A Liar From The Pit Of Hell. Kai, Politics Is Evil
By Kassim Afegbua.
I just read what was attributed to Governor Obaseki as the reason he gave, for falling apart from Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, and I wondered why an Executive Governor could tell such bogus lies just to score cheap political point. It is terrible character indices for Governor Obaseki to raise such devious reason as the rationale for his breaking apart from Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. Governor Obaseki is not even smart at all.
Chief Tony Anenih of blessed memory died on the 28th October, 2018 at the age of 85, but Governor Obaseki’s political squabbles with Comrade Oshiomhole started in late 2017, by February 2018, it had become so visible and almost irreconcilable. I remember vividly that I personally met with Governor Obaseki at his residence on Commercial Avenue on the 18th May, 2018 in an attempt to bring the two of them together, after series of failed reconciliation by Alhaji Aliko Dangote and a couple of other Governors.
At the 18th May, 2018 meeting, I had confronted Governor Obaseki on the reason why he fell out with Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, his benefactor. He pointedly told me that he just wanted to be his own man. He showed an aspect of his ethnic chauvinism when he rendered the following words; “that short man from that little village of Iyamho, cannot run the show”. I remembered asking him at what time he suddenly realised that his benefactor was a “short man” and from “that little village”, because I recalled he was always carrying Comrade Oshiomhole’s bag each time they were travelling. At that point, his countenance changed. I insisted that I would put together a team of ten mutual friends to meet and resolve the issue. He obliged me that evening before I left for Abuja the following day.
When I got to Abuja, I met with Comrade Oshiomhole, and related to him my encounter with Governor Obaseki. He was willing to attend such a meeting, but doubted if the Governor was genuine with his affirmation. But on the evening of 19th May, Governor Obaseki called me to inform me that he would no longer subscribe to the meeting, and that I should call it off. When I called Comrade Oshiomhole to inform him of the Governor’s disposition against the meeting, he told me he would have been surprised if the Governor would have been available for the meeting.
That was how I put off the meeting. Chief Tony Anenih died on the 28th October, 2018, almost a year after the political differences started. So, it is the height of ungodliness and devilish intentions for Governor Obaseki tomake reference to the state burial for Chief Anenih as the cause of his differences with Comrade Oshiomhole. He wants to profit from the death of Chief Anenih for political reasons. What a character!. I am ashamed to hear this, to read this. Imagine the height of desperation just to implant a godson, when he once quarrelled with the idea of godfather. What manner of a leader is Governor Obaseki? Profiteering from the dead?
