He said his visit to the Governor of the state is borne out of courtesy and standard protocol.
Jonathan’s visit provided the first opportunity for the Governor to react to the reported attack on the former Governor of the state and National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adams Oshiomhole.
Responding to questions from journalists, Governor Obaseki accused Oshiomhole of not following the proper protocol as someone who has once occupied the office of Governor.
Over the weekend, there were reports of Oshiomhole was booed at the Benin Airport on his way to attend the burial ceremony of the mother of an APC chieftain in Benin.
