To help him make peace with anyone whom he has issues with,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs part of my efforts to resolve the problems in Edo state, there was a time the governor told me he would not have anything to do with Charles Idahosa because he lost his booth during his own governorship election; but it was here in this my living room that I invited Idahosa and he did not know the governor was coming, I invited the governor he did not know Idahosa was coming.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Also:\u00a0I Didn\u2019t Teach Obaseki And His Deputy How To Lose Election: Oshiomhole<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the governor entered the room, Idahosa sat and said he was not going to have a handshake with him and used a language for me that was derogatory. I said \u2018No, Charles. You cannot talk like that. This is the governor and you must respect him.\u2019 And I said, \u2018Governor, please whatever Charles has done that you are not happy about, we have won, put them behind you.\u2019 I said in this business, if you didn\u2019t work with people because of their electoral value, sometimes you would work with them because of their nuisance value. So you would not gain by saying you wouldn\u2019t work with this one or this one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy own embarrassment is when they say Oshiomhole wants to be like a godfather. If I wanted to be, I will be nominating commissioners. I only persuaded him to accept one commissioner from me, only one and I gave my reasons. He was a founding member of my campaign organisation in 2006, Mika. Other than Mika, I did not nominate any commissioner; I did not nominate any special adviser, special assistant because for me these are governance issues. So where is the godfather from?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>              &#13;\n                    <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adams Oshiomhole Adams Oshiomhole, Oshiomhole, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has said assumptions that he wants to be the godfather of politics in Edo state embarrasses him.
