Edo State Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki has named the Labour House after his predecessor and former benefactor, Senator Adams Oshiomhole.

This was on Monday at the formal unveiling and commissioning of the House, in Benin City by the Governor with Oshiomhole as special guest.

The Presidents of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) are also among the guests.

Oshiomhole, a former NLC President, fell off with Obaseki, his godson and anointed successor in the Edo 2016 gubernatorial election, during the 2020 re-election polls.

However, both men have been seen lately at public events with the governor repeatedly inviting Oshiomhole to state functions and honoring him.

Some believe that the move is to spite Obaseki’s estranged former deputy, Philip Shaibu, who equally fell out with Oshiomhole, his former godfather, during the Obaseki’s 2020 re-election campaign.

Shaibu was impeached in April this year over irreconcilable differences with Governor Obaseki amid his ambition to succeed his principal (Obaseki) as governor, for alleged perjury and disclosure of government’s secrets.

Election strategy. You think say Oshiomhole mumu

Nice one. That is how to play politics without bitterness.
Meanwhile APC refused to fix Federal Roads in Edo state because it's a PDP state.

Politics can't break the bond between Oshiomhole, Obaseki and Asue Ighodalo.
Only people like you think otherwise.

After PA Michael Imoudu, the next person to have made a name for himself in the Labour Unionism is Oshiomhole. We still have others in the pipeline like Peter Esele and Festus Osifoh

Oshiomole was a labour leader and that's understandable

Ddd

Niger State and Kogi State have APC governors but have some of the worst Federal roads in Nigeria.

commit yourself to any politician at your own peril

obasekis term is coming to an end and his adopted party is not in power

Nice one

No permanent enemy In politics

Dead on arrival. Edo people no go still vote Obaseki's stooge, no matter how hard he tries. He spent 8 years without any project to his name. He wants to bring another incompetent person like him. We no go gree.

Edo it's either APC or LP

Oka

It’s the labour house and it’s understandable to name it after comrade Oshiomole. He did a lot for the union during his tenure as the labour leader.

Let the brotherly love continue...the time of peace is always better than time of war..hatred and bitterness drills both physical and spiritual energy

No mind the Ugly and incompetent Governor

This should serve as a lesson to all those who "swallow panadol" for the headaches of politricktians.



Oba of Seki is now doing what Fela calls "begging from back".



Shuaibu has now been reduced to a political orphan because he failed to look before leaping and has been made the sacrificial lamb of the political abracadabra of Edo State politics.




Politics is truly a game of self-interest!





@hotseat

Respect!!

More like "Honour your father and your mother so that you days will be long"

It's not APC fault. Edo State produced two ministers of Works and housing within two different istrations. At different times, funds for constructing the Roads were released, but the Edo born ministers of works diverted the funds for their personal use.

After Naming the street leading to Oshiomole's house after Bukola Saraki the worst enemy of oshiomole....now is your morning Obaseki
