The Edo State governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, reunited on Saturday with his predecessor, Adams Oshiomhole, in Auchi, Etsako-West Local Government Area.
The governor, however, disclosed that he has no personal grudges against the former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), but only dislikes his style of politics.
Obaseki said this while interacting with journalists at the Centenary Birthday Thanksgiving of Msgr. Thomas Oleghe and 18th Canonical Anniversary of the Diocese of Auchi held at Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Auchi.
Obaseki, who exchanged greetings with an elbow-bump in compliance with COVID-19 preventive protocols, with his predecessor, said they are both sons of Edo, with the interest of the State at heart.
The governor said the Zonal Congress of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which was scheduled to hold on Saturday, was postponed due to the local government elections taking place in Delta State.
“The Zonal Congress, which was to hold today has been postponed to Tuesday and it’s a normal routine to satisfy the party’s constitution; there is nothing amiss,” he added.
On his part, Oshiomhole, who was a guest at the event, hailed Obaseki, describing him as ‘his brother and friend.’
Oshiomhole said: “Once the governor speaks, the matter ends. The governor knows that pensioners here might not be able to do much, that is why he said every other thing required to complete the hostel of the Catholic School of Nursing and Midwifery in Uzairue, his government will do.”
Both politicians went their separate ways during the build up to the Edo State governorship election held in September 2020.
