A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in Edo State, Chief Gabriel Osawaru Igbinedion, Wednesday visited Governor Adams Oshiomhole at the Government House, in Benin.
The Esama of Benin Kingdom and father of former governor of the state, Chief Lucky Igbinedion arrived the Government House few minutes past 1p.m.
Igbinedion, who was absent at the PDP national chairman’s tour of the South-South in Calabar, Cross River State on Tuesday, spent about 40 minutes in a closed-door meeting with the governor.
When accosted by newsmen, the high-chief simply said “He (Oshiomhole) is the governor of Edo State and I have come to see my governor.”
Sources however disclosed that part of issues discussed with the governor before journalists were allowed in may not be unconnected with crisis rocking the state Assembly.
The House has been sharply divided over alleged plot to move against the governor.
However, Oshiomhole congratulated Igbinedion on his forthcoming birthday.
“Let me welcome you formally to my very modest office, thank you for taking time out to visit. I am in receipt of your birthday invitation; I promise you that I will be there live with our friends.
“It is something that we want to join in celebrating because longevity and good health are a rare combination.
“Some people have longevity, but poor health, others have good health but not long life, so when God gives you both, only He and He alone decides whom he chooses to so favour.”
