Oshiomhole Vs Obaseki: Rep Calls For Urgent Intervention

Worried by the perceived face-off between Governor Godwin Obaseki and Adams Oshiomole, the member of Federal House of Representatives, Dennis Idahosa (APC), representing Ovia Federal Constituency, Edo state has called for peace among key stakeholders in the State Chapter of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC).

Idahosa, who is currently sitting on the fence on the crisis rocking the All Progressive Congress in the state, noted that development and progress thrives in a peaceful atmosphere, not in warring situation. 

The federal lawmakers made this known while fielding questions from newsmen, Sunday, in Benin City. 

He stressed that the crisis in the party had created a wide gap among party faithfuls, which has also become a threat to the attainment of democracy and development in the state, while stressing that development and progress can only be achieved in a peaceful atmosphere.

He, however, called on stakeholders in the state to ensure that the current crises are resolved amicably, while commending the traditional rulers in the state, led by the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare 11 for the role played in ensuring that the crisis is being resolved. 

“I am quite aware that there must be disagreement for a better understanding to take place, but not one that should degenerate into name calling on the pages of newspapers and social media platforms.

“Like one big family, irrespective of the position we might have taken on this matter, we must ensure that all the contending issues are settled amicably, especially if we are genuinely concerned about the development of our state.

“I dare say that Gov. Godwin Obaseki needs a friendly environment to continue with his developmental strides in the state.

Likewise, our National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole needs a conducive environment to continue to superintend over the affairs of our great party at national level,” he noted.
