Adams Oshiomhole And I Do Not Have Any Fundamental Issues – Godwin Obaseki

Edo State Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki has said he has met his predecessor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and any issues between them are in the process of getting resolved.

Obaseki disclosed this in his address during a mass at the St Paul Catholic Church, in Benin City, to mark the 80th birthday of Chief John Odigie-Oyegun yesterday.

He added that the issues are not that serious.

Godwin said, “I thank you very much for the remarkable homily. I listened very attentively and I have taken every word in your remark to heart and very seriously. I want to assure you that we are in pursuit of peace and we will have peace in Edo State.

“We have met – me and my predecessor in office – and fortunately, we do not have any fundamental issues. And because we do not have any fundamental issues, I believe that whatever third parties are trying to propagate I am sure we can talk over it. I assure you that very soon things will return to normalcy in Edo State.”

“Today we are here to celebrate our own Chief Odigie-Oyegun. On behalf of the people and Government of Edo State, I want to congratulate you on your 80th birthday,”

“For your contributions and what you have done for our dear state, I have decided to name the public service academy, which is under construction, after you. We know your passion for public service; we know and acknowledge the contributions you made to public service in Nigeria. Therefore, we have decided to name this edifice which will be completed within the next 60 days, by the grace of God, after you. President Muhammadu Buhari will come and commission the academy, with you standing beside him. It will be known as the John Odigie-Oyegun Institute for Public Administration.”
