Obaseki described Oshiomhole’s position on Edo politics as misguided but noted that as governor of Edo, he would seek peace.
Meanwhile, a political group based in the FCT, Abuja, Obaseki Mandate Forum, has reportedly obtained nomination forms for the re-election of Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo state.
The Nation reports that the group's chairman, Nathaniel Momoh, obtained the form on Wednesday, May 27, from the party’s national secretariat on behalf of Governor Obaseki.
Momoh said the forum joined forces with people from Edo state to buy the nomination and expression of interest form for the governor.
He said the forum decided to purchase the forms for Obaseki as a result of his impressive performance in the last four years.
