This is coming days after Governor Obaseki Publicly accused the former Governor of the state and APC national chairman, Mr. Adam Oshiomole of being responsible for the crisis.
Obaseki had said his predecessor needed to hear from all sides in the matter before taking sides.
In the statement released by his special adviser on media and communication-strategy, Mr. C Osagie.
Obaseki said;
Apart from the fact that he based his conclusion on a totally false and baseless premise, we believe that he could have shown that he didn’t have a vested interest by simply inquiring from his friend, the governor, directly, or any official of the State Working Committee of our party to what actually transpired.
Oshiomhole’s failure to satisfy the basic tenets of natural justice which makes fair hearing from all sides of a matter mandatory, has clearly exposed his bias in this issue”
