Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has revealed that one of the reasons for his fallout with his predecessor, Senator Adams Oshiomhole, was his decision to declare a state burial for the late Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Chief Tony Anenih.
Speaking at a PDP campaign rally at Opujie Primary School, Uromi, in Esan North East Local Government Area on Friday, Obaseki said that the decision to honor Anenih, who passed away during his first term as governor under the All Progressives Congress (APC), was met with resistance from Oshiomhole.
Obaseki stated, “When Chief Anenih d!ed, I was not in PDP, but I declared a state burial for him because of his contributions to our dear state and Nigeria. This was one of the things that created issues between me and Oshiomole who never wanted it. He considered it an unforgivable sin which he could not overlook. But I have to do what is good. We are all one. Edo State is one.”
