  • Gives conditions for Obaseki to get their endorsement.

Edo Governor, Godwin Obaseki has been conditions of reelection by 11 ward chairmen of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Owan West Local Government Area of Edo State.

The leaders said the governor won’t get their endorsement for a second term until he issued a fresh proclamation for the inauguration of elected members of the state House of Assembly.

Speaking through their coordinating ward three Chairman, Mr Raymond Osumah, after their meeting in Owan West, the leaders, who declared their loyalty to the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, said Obaseki’s political “rascality” would not earn him a second term.

“Until the governor issues a fresh proclamation, no second term deal. It is even a shame for the governor to have instructed the council chairman to stop the N15,000 stipends being given to ward chairmen because we are not supporting his second term bid. And Frank Ilaboya, our council chairman, is owning the eleven ward chairmen three months which amounted to N495,000. They can eat the money but we stand with Oshiomhole, “he stated.

Osumah who dismissed the reports that Obaseki had been for a second term said Ilaboya who said it is being mischievous.
