Oshiomhole didn’t support son’s appointment as commissioner

Edo deputy governor, Dennis Idahosa has revealed that Senator Adams Oshiomhole opposed his son’s appointment as health commissioner in the state.

Idahosa made the revelation while speaking to Channels Television on Tuesday, November 20.

The deputy governor said, “Senator Adams Oshiomhole is a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and his son, like any other individual, has his destiny.

“Oshiomohloe’s son is a seasoned medical doctor, He studied here in Nigeria and went to the United States to also study.

“He has everything it takes to be in the cabinet. Because he is the son of someone doesn’t forbid him from occupying a seat that he has the competence to chair.

“In short, Adams went against it. The father does not play any role or influence on it. For us, we have made up our minds. It was the sole decision of Mr Governor.”

He also disclosed that Cyril is a seasoned medical doctor who has the capabilities to chair the Ministry of Health, and as such should not be denied such a privilege.

Recall that weeks after his inauguration as the governor of the state, Governor Monday Okpebholo appointed Dr Oshiomhole as Commissioner for Health.
