Immediate past National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has apologised to the people of Edo State for supporting Governor Godwin Obaseki to emerge as the state governor in 2016.
He, however, stated that his mission for now would be to ensure the governor’s defeat in the governorship election scheduled for September 19.
But in a swift response, Governor Obaseki said that he had no regrets for not being a stooge of Oshiomhole.

Both politicians had fallen apart shortly after Obaseki became governor in 2016. The quarrel persisted until last month when the governor was disqualified from contesting the APC governorship primary, forcing him to switch to the rival Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), where he picked up the ticket to run on September 19.
Oshiomhole, addressing a crowd that gathered to welcome him at his Iyamho country home stated said, “I have made a mistake by supporting a man who has no vision for my people.
“So, I want to correct my mistakes by making sure a servant of God, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, is elected as governor and kick the snake out of the Government House. From now till September 19, I am here in Edo State because as a political lion that I am. I am not scared of anything.”
