Edo state governor, Godwin Obaseki has presented his nomination form for re-election under the All Progressives Congress to President Muhammadu Buhari.

Earlier Monday, seven APC governors had met with Adams Oshiomhole, the APC national chairman, to broker peace between him and Obaseki.

The rift between the duo has split the Edo chapter of the APC and there is tension in the state in the buildup to the September governorship election.

Obaseki and Osagie Ize-Iyamu, who is believed to have the backing of Oshiomhole, would vie for the party’s governorship ticket on June 22.
