Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki recently shared that a significant reason for his fallout with his predecessor, Senator Adams Oshiomhole, was his decision to declare a state burial for the late Chief Tony Anenih, a prominent Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain. Obaseki made this revelation during a PDP campaign rally at Opujie Primary School in Uromi, Esan North East Local Government Area.
Obaseki explained that honoring Anenih, who passed away during Obaseki's first term as governor under the All Progressives Congress (APC), was a decision he felt was appropriate given Anenih’s contributions to the state and the country. However, this decision was met with resistance from Oshiomhole, who opposed the state burial, contributing to the rift between the two political figures.
Obaseki stated, "When Chief Anenih died, I was not in PDP, but I declared a state burial for him because of his contributions to our dear state and Nigeria. This was one of the things that created issues between me and Oshiomole who never wanted it. He considered it an unforgivable sin which he could not overlook. But I have to do what is good. We are all one. Edo State is one."
