Godwin Obaseki, governor of Edo, has called on the presidency and inspector-general of police to caution Adams Oshiomhole, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying no k e is above the law.
According to the Edo state governor, Oshiomhole’s ambition to be “ultimate godfather” is not worth the lives of people of the state.
In a statement by Crusoe Osagie, media aide to the governor, Obaseki said this when he received a delegation from the Omega Fire Ministries International led by Azemhe Azena, a pastor.
Obaseki was quoted as saying, “The plans of the dissident Edo Peoples Movement to again disrupt the peace in the state in Edo central senatorial district is unauthorised and goes against the directives of the police and state government.
“The government calls on the presidency and inspector-general of police to kindly caution the suspended national chairman of the APC and let him know that no one can be above the law of the land and his ambition to be the ultimate godfather in Edo State is not worth the lives and safety of millions of Edo people.
