The logo of the Nigerian Stock Exchange is pictured in Lagos, Nigeria November 9, 2016. REUTERS/Afolabi SotundeThe governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has handed down a clear instruction to state officials – do not insult or talk back at Adams Oshiomhole, no matter what!
A statement jointly issued on Monday by the governor’s spokesperson, Crusoe Osagie, and the commissioner for information in the state, Paul Ohonbamu, said Mr Obaseki has barred officials in his administration from making “any comment whatsoever” against Mr Oshiomhole. The instruction from Governor Obaseki is a departure from the past, where the governor appeared comfortable with media attacks against Mr Oshiomhole.
Mr Oshiomhole’s loyalist and a lawmaker in the state, Washington Osifo, accused Mr Obaseki of “bringing back gangsterism” into the state politics.“The governor I used to know when he came was against any form of gangsterism.
