The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, on Saturday denied bearing any ill will towards his predecessor and former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole.
Obaseki, however, said he disliked the former governor’s style of politics.
He disclosed these at the centenary birthday thanksgiving of Msgr Thomas Oleghe and the 18th canonical erection anniversary of the Diocese of Auchi held at Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Auchi, Etsako-West Local Government Area of the state.
Obaseki and Oshiomhole had fallen out prior to the September 2020 governorship election, prompting the governor to defect to the Peoples Democratic Party on which platform he won the election.
The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has assured that the state government will support the Catholic School of Nursing and Midwifery, Uzairue in Etsako-West Local Government Area, as part of commitment to strengthen the healthcare system in the state.
Obaseki gave the assurance at the Centenary Birthday Thanksgiving celebration of Msgr. Thomas Oleghe and 18th Canonical Erection Anniversary of the Catholic Diocese of Auchi.
He said: “It is not often to celebrate a centenarian in our society. Today, we are celebrating Msgr. Thomas Oleghe who is a centenarian and has contributed to the development of the community.
“We are celebrating the 18th year anniversary of this diocese, celebrating a centenarian and citizens in the state who have distinguished themselves in service to humanity and God.
