Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has sent a warning to his erstwhile godfather, Adams Oshiomhole that he will not spare him if he continues to act the way he did during the lectioneering campaigns.
Obaseki was re-elected last Saturday after defeating his closest rival, Osagie Ize-Iyamu of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The Governor said on Tuesday that his government will have no mercy on his predecessor if he continues to misbehave.
He made the statement while appearing on Arise TV on Tuesday.
When asked about reports that there is a plan to “run Oshiomhole out of the state” he responded that no such plan exists, but the response of his administration depends on the behavior of Oshiomhole.
“I don’t have any plan, but if he continues to behave the way he always does, if he continues to be disruptive, if he continues to fund his lions and tigers, and tries to create problems for us here, then we will not have any mercy.”
He added that he has no plan to move to the Senate at the expiration of his tenure.
“After the next four years, i’ll seek admission and go back to school to teach. I don’t have any wishes to go to the Senate,” he stated.
