He said he also helped Oshiomhole during the election which he won.
Governor Obaseki is the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) standard bearer in the September 19 Edo State governorship election
The governor who stated this during a live television governorship debate said he funded the predecessor’s election because he was broke as former Labour leader.
