  Oshiomhole Convinced Us To Make Obaseki Governor ā€“ Philip Shaibu Philip Shaibu, the former Deputy Governor of Edo State, has disclosed that his choice to support his former boss, Godwin Obaseki, stemmed from his respect for Adams Oshiomhole, the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC). According to Naija News, Shaibu shared his doubts about Obaseki during an interview on Channels Televisionā€™s Political Paradigm program on Tuesday. Shaibu admitted that he lacked confidence in Obaseki's leadership even before they took office on November 12, 2016. He explained that despite his initial hesitations, he ultimately backed Obaseki out of respect and based on the assurances provided by Oshiomhole. He stated, ā€œObaseki is not a politician. We made him governor because Oshiomhole persuaded us. I was not among those who thought he should not be governor; it was because I didnā€™t have faith in him. ā€œWhen he was nominated to run, I was the last person to oppose him, but ...

    President Muhammadu Buhari will consult with key leaders of ECOWAS countries in order to find a solution to the crisis rocking Republic of Mali.
The President made the pledge Tuesday while receiving reports from ECOWAS Special Envoy to Mali, former President Goodluck Jonathan.
The former President was at State House, Abuja, in company of President of ECOWAS Commission, Mr Jean-Claude Kassi Brou.
ā€œWe will ask the President of Niger, who is the Chairman of ECOWAS to brief us as a group, and we will then know the way forward,ā€ President Buhari said.
He thanked Dr Jonathan for his comprehensive brief on the situation in Mali, ā€œwhich you had been abreast with since when you were the sitting Nigerian President.ā€
The former President had filled in President Buhari on his activities as Special Envoy to restore amity to Mali, rocked by protests against President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, who has spent two out of the five years second term in office.
A resistance group, M5, is insisting that the Constitutional Court must be dissolved, and the President resign, before peace can return to the country.
Crisis had erupted after the court nullified results of 31 parliamentary seats in the polls held recently, awarding victory to some other contenders, which the resistance group said was at the instigation of President Keita.
Riots on July 10 had led to the killing of some protesters by security agents, causing the crisis to spiral out of control, hence the intervention by ECOWAS.
ā€œECOWAS canā€™t preside over the removal of an elected President. Not even the African Union (AU), or the United Nations (UN) can do it. Leaders must be elected and leave under constitutional processes, otherwise we would have Banana republics all over the place,ā€ Dr Jonathan submitted.
The former President thanked President Buhari for providing a Presidential jet for the mission, ā€œthus making our trips convenient and comfortable,ā€ and he equally expressed appreciation for the Itakpe-Warri railway complex named after him last weekend.
ā€œIt was a big present for me. Thank you very much,ā€ he said.
