Former Governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, has been recorded on video patronising a road-side corn-seller.
The political atmosphere in the state has since changed. Obaseki now runs under the Peoples Democratic Party while Osagie Ize-Iyamu, his 2016 opponent, bears the flag of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In the now-viral video, Oshiomhole was seen standing in front of a roadside corn seller as some passersby circled him, chanting: “Osho baba!”
