Photographs of Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki and his predecessor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, on Monday broke the internet as both men were seen hugging each other publicly for the first time in many years.
This was at a colloquium organised by the state government to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Midwest Referendum which birthed Edo and Delta States, held at the Victor Uwaifo Creative Hub in Benin City, the Edo State capital.
The colloquium, with the theme, ’60 years after the referendum, which way Midwest?’ had in attendance leaders and stakeholders from Edo, Delta and Bayelsa States and across the South South region.
Meanwhile, the photos of Obaseki and Oshiomhole in a warm embrace has come to many as a surprise as both men have been seen as sworn enemies since their fall out ahead of the 2020 Edo governorship election.
