Two South-West Governors Back Obaseki On Plots To Remove Oshiomhole
More intrigues have continued to unfold ahead of the 2020 governorship election as our source reliably gathered yesterday that Governor Godwin Obaseki has purportedly got the support of two state governors of the South West (names withheld) to join the campaign to remove Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
One of the governors is said to be a beneficiary of Oshiomhole’s support to win his election.
This, it was gathered, would pave way for Obaseki to easily get his second term as they see Oshiomhole as a major obstacle to the governor’s second term ambition.
Meanwhile one of the close security details to Obaseki simply identified as Luther, our source reliably gathered, has been hospitalised following the dispersal of suspected thugs who had last Saturday thronged the Benin Airport to disrupt the arrival of Oshiomhole, who was on a private visit to attend the burial ceremony party of a former aide.
He was said to have been beaten by security agencies who mistook him for one of the suspected thugs who came to disrupt Oshiomhole’s arrival having been sighted, allegedly, coordinating them in company of a retired Deputy Superintended of Police.
