I don't care if Obaseki Betrays me - Oshiomole

Outgoing Governor of Edo state has said he does not care if his successor Godwin Obaseki betrays him after taking over

Oshiomhole said this when responding to a question on whether he was worried that he and Obaseki might later fall out with each other as witnessed in some other states where ex-governors had conflicts with their successors.

He explained that such conflict often arises when former governors refuse to accept that their tenure is over.
“That is very important if you say he (Obaseki) will disappoint me, I am not the state.

I am only one out of about four million Edo people.

So, his obligation and his loyalty should be to the people of Edo State,” he said.

“The oath of office he is going to subscribe to says that he will defend the constitution of Nigeria, he will do everything to uplift the quality of lives of Edo people. Nothing in his oath office will include ‘I shall not betray my predecessor’ because I have no interest to be betrayed.”
