An aspirant, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Don Petro Obaseki has expressed discomfort in the news of his elder cousin, Godwin Obaseki to run as governor in the next governorship election in Edo State.
He described the development as shocking and “betrayal of trust” by Godwin who rumour said has been chosen to run by the APC.
Don Obaseki who agreed that it’s the game of politics revealed that he informed his elder cousin of his ambition to run for governorship election but didn’t know he would go for the same position himself.
He assured that the action of Godwin Obaseki, who is the Edo State Chairman, Economic Team will not divide the Obaseki’s family, adding that he (Don Pedro Obaseki) is much accepted within the entire Obaseki’s family worldwide.
His words: “I am shocked that another Obaseki is running but be that is it may,this is politics. It really sounds funny and uncomfortable to many people outside.
He said “Me as child of tradition before I decided to run,I consulted massively with my friends and family. When am talking about my family I don’t mean my immediate family, I mean the enlarged Obaseki and to the extent that I have done two serious event to cement that announcement of my ambition.
“Everybody in my family is fully aware of my ambition,they are equally aware that I am seeking for the APC ticket.
Before the end of next week I will release the documentary of my adoption by the family and the blessing of my family and I have equally presented my intent to the upper room elders council of the Obaseki for me to go ahead with my ambition. So my quest is not based on share shenanigan or a few person sitting behind the sanctuary of open doors to anoint anybody.”
‘For me I have the corporate endorsement of the Obaseki’s clan,not just the Obaseki’s clan in Nigeria but the Obaseki’s clan world wide. Mine is not a forested ambition of one person but a collective decision of the Obaseki family.”
“My elder cousin, Godwin. He is eleven years older than I am, so I give him respect in the fact that I was shocked because I have actually gone to him to beg him to lead me to the Governor so when I was told some months later
that one of those I thought will be on my side was now also selling self, so let’s live the sea for the better mariner.”
