The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki has described the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as a ‘serial and pathological liar that must not be taken seriously.

This was contained in a statement by the Special Adviser to the Edo State Governor on Media and Communication Strategy, Mr. Crusoe Osagie.

Osagie said this while responding to claims by Oshiomhole that Governor Godwin Obaseki and his Deputy, Rt. Hon. Comrade Philip Shaibu do not have a political base in their locality, describing the two who claimed to have learnt from him as poor students.

He alleged that as a sign that the duo lack grassroots support, they both lost their polling units during the last Presidential election, adding that at the moment, the governor is being represented by a PDP Senator and House of Representative member at the federal level.

But reacting, Osagie in a statement issued on Monday said Obaseki did not only win his unit and ward during the last general election, but also polled more votes for President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019 elections than Oshiomhole, when he was governor during the 2015 elections.

According to him, “In 2015, when Oshiomhole was governor, he polled 208,469 votes against Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) 286,869, with a 78,400 deficit. While in 2019, under Obaseki, the APC scored 267,842, while the PDP got 275,691, with a 7,849 marginal loss.

“In the House of Representatives, the state had 4 seats for the APC, against 5 for the PDP in 2015, while in 2019, under Obaseki, the APC won 5 seats, against the PDP’s 4. In the State House of Assembly, the APC won the entire 24 seats, which never happened under Oshiomhole’s administration.

“It bears repeating that the governor won his unit and ward in the general election and the marginal losses that the APC suffered in the state were orchestrated by Comrade Oshiomhole, who connived with some elements within the party to sabotage the APC, especially in Edo South in an attempt to de-market the governor politically.

“Chief among the collaborators with Oshiomhole to sabotage the president’s election in Edo South is Gen. Charles Airhiavbere, who did not only dislodge APC’s agents at the polling booths, but also funded the opposition in some units and wards to enable them have an upper hand against the APC.”

“Another instance where Oshiomhole told a blatant lie in the full glare of the public was when Governor Obaseki went to the former governor’s residence in Iyamho during the last Sallah celebration. Oshiomhole told the world that he had no issue with Obaseki and that what people were witnessing was a media construction. This has since turned out to be far from the truth.

“The suspended National Chairman also said that he appointed only one Commissioner in the Governor’s cabinet. This is false, as it couldn’t have been possible since he picked a good number of the people who work with the governor, including the Deputy Governor, Comrade Shaibu; Secretary to the State Government, Osarodion Ogie, and many others.

“On another occasion, the former Commissioner of Police in the state, Mohammed Dan Mallam, publicly debunked the lie by Oshiomhole that his Benin residence was attacked. The CP categorically said the claim was false and that the Police, which ought to be in the know, could confirm that there was no attack on Oshiomhole’s house.”

Osagie further stated that the disgraceful events that played out at the private residence of Comrade Oshiomhole when Governor Obaseki, the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, Dr. Aderemi Makanjuola and other guests were attacked also exposed the lies of Oshiomhole after he came out to twist the story.

“Comrade Oshiomhole after the incident said that the attack was carried out by Comrade Shaibu, but the same Shaibu was in the vehicle that was attacked. So, this goes to show that Oshiomhole never tells the truth.”

The governor’s aide added that with the endless tall-tales by the suspended National Chairman, the average Nigerian should know by now that Oshiomhole doesn’t stick to one story.

“It is rather unfortunate. It is the manifestation of this that we see with the crisis associated with different chapters of the APC across the country.”

Lol @ the Suspended Chairman. Even if Obaseki finally loose. It is better to stand up and fight against injustice rather than fall cowardly and chicken out like our Lagos brothers..

Oshiomole cannot just sit in his village in Iyahmo and think he can remote government from his bedroom like how Tinubu remotes Lagos from his Bourdillion house. Infact some part of South West.

Chief Tony Anenih never did this to him in Edo. Even when Oyegun was National Chairman and Oshiomole Governor, Oyegun never had a chance to even bring out a councillor from his ward because Oshiomole took charge as a Governor. So why do you want to melt same treatment you never tolerated on Obaseki.

One man, one vote pioneer, say no to Godfatherism were all introduce by Oshiomole. He isn't even practicing anyone anymore. The party he chaired have conducted worst election so far since after Obj tenure.

Oshiomole have been a demon since his NLC days.

suspended national chairman obaseki is out to retire oshomole from Edo politics we re watching

I am rolling on the floor with laughter. Obaseki honestly does not have shame. Obaseki claimed 14 members elect of the house were hand picked by Oshiomhole yet he is claiming credit for their victory. Apc got 80 percent of their votes from Oshiomhole senatorial zone even though he had just one week to mobilze. Yet Obaseki is claiming credit when his zone lost woefully.
He claims Oshiomhole nominated more than one commission but couldn't them instead naming Deputy governor.
Obaseki is no March for the house of rep member Ihama representing his constituency let alone Adams.
He should mention what he scored in his unit and ward. Social media Titan. Lol

Oshiomole's situation is different from that of obaseki. During oshiomole'ss time, PMB was still loved by many in the southsouth, southwest and south east because people felt he had integrity and will fight corruption. There were no Shitte, Benue,jos and other states massacres, IPOB, Ruga/herdsmen issues. It was posssible for Oshiomole to have more votes for PMB by then unlike the time of Obaseki when these issues and hatred were rife. Also the death of the economy, inflation, naira losing value and several others. Pmb lost trust from the populace. Forget the fact that he won, that wasn't an election.

The question Crusoe osagie is dodging is the fact that his boss the governor actually lost his polling unit, ward, constituency and senatorial district to the pdp. That's a fact!

Imagine! Meaning that Obaseki didn't win the last guber election but was fraudulently rigged in. Thank goodness, you're all confessing your electoral crime but the consequences of your iberiberism will consume you all.

Its not about liar we will believe your claim when you win your second term.

Me too

Obaseki is digging his own political grave every time he attacks Oshiomole. There's no way he can survive the triple strikers in General Charles, Ize Iyamu and Oshiomole, they'd crush him like a trailer vehicle would crush a wheel barrow!!!

Thunder fire you people and your par
