Edo state governor Godwin Obaseki Wednesday denied any rift between him and his predecessor in office, All Progressives Congress (APC) national chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.
Obaseki made the clarification at the Benin Airport upon his arrival in the state following a one-month vacation.
The governor described as fake news, the reported rift with Oshiomhole over his second term ambition.
Obaseki said that the people of the state should be engaging themselves with how the government could provide good governance to them and not petty issues.
He said that Edo people should expect more “wake and see” as he had returned refreshed, feeling good, and ready to continue to deliver good governance to the people of the state.
Combined security operatives from the 4th brigade, DSS, and the Police had a hectic time controlling the mammoth crowd that thronged the airport to welcome the governor.
Deputy Governor Phillip Shaibu, Secretary to the state government, Osarodion Ogie, speaker Edo state House of Assembly Kabiru Adjoto and Chief of staff to the governor, Taiwo Akerele, and some APC leaders were among officials who received the governor.
All the 18 local government chairmen, ward and party leaders were on ground to also receive the governor. (NAN)
