Oshiomole-Obaseki's Unholy Matrimony (Part 1) - Deji Oso

Adedeji Oso, a former student leader, current Chairman EKSU Alumni Ekiti State Chapter is an Administrator at Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti. In his own opinion which made public stated the following as factors playing out in the battle between Adams Oshiohmole, the APC National Chairman and Godwin Obaseki, the Edo State Governor who recently disqualified by his party APC in his quest to seek for second term in Office:

 

1. Leprose Hands of Godfatherism

2. Patronage Politics of Clientelism 

3. Corrupt Elite Recruitment Process

4. Power Conflicts and Struggle for Dominance

5. Thirst for Intra-Party Degodfatherism

6. Dictatorship of Surrogateship

7. Betrayal, Vengeance & Political Survivalism 

According to Adedeji Oso who is a political scientist, "Godfatherism is systemic, It is found in all aspects of our social, political or traditional society. He goes further that, "when you fight godfatherism, it kicks and fights you back.

Also said that, "Obaseki may not have erred for his attempted cession or breakaway from his erstwhile godfather-Oshiomole since in politics, there is no permanent friendship or enmity but interest. He erred by not preparing sufficiently well ahead of the consequences and implications of the risk he took." On the part of Oshiomole, I hope this would not backfire too, "Deji Oso queried."
