By GWG Staff
Chairman of the Ward 10, Etsako West Local Government Area chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Edo State, Stephen Oshawo has given the secret reason that fired him to champion the suspension of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole from the party.
Speaking in Benin-City on Thursday at an award ceremony he alleged that he was denied his gratuity on retirement and owed eight months of his pension when Oshiomhole was governor.
He, however, said that the payments were immediately made within one month of the advent of the Godwin Obaseki administration. He said that even as chairman of the governor’s ward that he was not given a place of recognition.
Oshawo spoke at an award ceremony where he said that he had no regret over his role in triggering the events that led to the removal of Oshiomhole from office.
The award was bestowed on him by the Chief Executive Officer of Mega House Entertainment, Goodluck Osama Ogbeide.
I was an insider, I was the chairman in ward 10. I suffered many things and nobody knew me or recognised me
“I am very happy over the award. This award means a lot to me. It means that I should continue to do what I have done that warranted this award because I believe in truth, transparency and also eliminating godfatherism,” he said.
“What gave me the mind to do what I did is that I was there before and now I am here. And that I know the difference between there and here, I decided to cleave to now which I know is the modern life of today. You know, this government believes in development and in the masses.
“The truth is that, when the former governor (Oshiomhole) was in power as the governor of the state, I was an insider, I was the chairman in ward 10. I suffered many things and nobody knew me or recognised me.
“As a chairman to the governor of the state, I couldn’t receive my gratuity as a pensioner and as a chairman to Oshiomhole when he was still the governor of the state, I was not able to get my pension for eight months but when Godwin Obaseki came in, it didn’t take him up to a month, he paid my gratuity and not only me but all the pensioners in Edo State.
“There is nobody he is owing and if you are retiring today, next month you are receiving your pension. So I have much to say which makes me to believe in him”, he said.
