*... Says Obaseki has no Hand in Assembly Fracas*
The immediate past Speaker of Edo Assembly and Special Adviser to Edo State Governor on Parliamentary Affairs, *Rt. Hon.(Alhaji) Kabiru Adjoto* has described the embattled National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), *Comrade Adams Oshiomhole* as a disgruntled crocodile who consumes his own eggs he ought to cocoon.
The former Speaker who was fielding questions from pressmen in his Benin-City Office yesterday, said the monumental travails currently faced by the 14 members-elect whose seats had been declared vacant should be blamed on Oshiomhole who is harboring them in Abuja against the wishes of their constituents.
*It is very unfortunate that Oshiomhole who is supposed to be a unifying factor has aligned himself with destructive forces to pull down the house we all built together; as a father he would have called everyone together and make peace rather than taking uninformed side thereby fuelling the crises currently bedeviling our party an act that could be likened to a crocodile who eats up his own eggs"*, he said.
*"When he was a governor he derided the likes of Igbinedion, Anenih and Ogbemudia all in the pretence of fighting godfatherism but today he is nicodemusly enthroning himself as a political godfather in Edo State"* , he added.
The former Speaker also revealed that the governor and his deputy who is Oshiomhole's political son have made several peace moves which were rebuffed by the National Chairman who is being misled by known political jobbers.
Adjoto insisted that Governor Godwin Obaseki was not in anyway involved in the Assembly fracas, saying the governor never interfered in legislative issues. He said the governor was rather preoccupied with critical developmental initiatives that would improve the lives of Edo people.
