       Obaseki Is My Brother, Rift Created By Third Forces Say

       National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
       Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has said that the alleged rift between
       himself and his successor, Governor Godwin Obaseki is the
       creation of people with personal interest, describing Obaseki as
       his brother.
       Oshiomhole said this on Monday night while receiving Governor
       Obaseki, who led members of his cabinet to celebrate the
       Eid-el-Kabir Festival with his former boss, at his Iyamoh
       residence in Estako West Local Government Government Area of the
       state.
       Speaking to journalists after a closed-door meeting which lasted
       for about an hour, Oshiomhole said the meeting was not unusual
       as he was in constant touch with Governor Obaseki.
       According to Oshiomhole, “from time to time, we have always been
       meeting. It is not an unusual visit, the meeting afforded me the
       opportunity to meet with my brother and with people I have
       worked with.”
       Oshiomhole added that it was unfortunate that the media liked
       creating factions for their own gain.
       Obaseki also noted that the visit to his predecessor was not
       unusual, saying that he decided to celebrate Sallah with his
       former boss.
       He said the visit was to celebrate Edo leaders just as the
       former APC national chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, was
       celebrated by the state earlier in the day.
       “There is nothing unusual about this meeting; today is Sallah
       and we have just finished celebrating with the former APC
       national chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun in Benin City, and
       we decided to come here to celebrate Sallah with my
       predecessor,” the governor said.
       He added that people who think there was a rift between him and
       his predecessor should stop thinking.
