2016 Edo State Governor Obaseki's actions led to rift with political mentor Oshiomhole and subsequent intra-party conflict.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio criticized Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki for betraying his predecessor, Adams Oshiomhole, who supported him in 2016. Tensions arose as Obaseki excluded party leaders from his administration and resisted being controlled by a "godfather." Despite efforts to reconcile before the 2020 election, Obaseki's candidate lost. As Obaseki steps down, focus shifts to his successor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, and future development plans.
