Edo State Deputy Governor, Dennis Idahosa, on Wednesday, dropped a bombshell on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, revealing that Senator Adams Oshiomhole opposed his son Cyril’s appointment as Edo State Commissioner for Health.
However, Idahosa emphasized that Cyril’s impressive credentials make him more than qualified for the role.
“Cyril is a seasoned medical doctor,” Idahosa stated. “He studied in Nigeria and went on to further his studies in the United States. He is fully qualified to be in the cabinet.”
Idahosa also noted that Cyril’s relationship to Senator Oshiomhole shouldn’t disqualify him from holding a position he’s competent to manage.
“Senator Adams Oshiomhole is a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and his son, like any other individual, has his own destiny. Cyril is a seasoned medical doctor. He studied in Nigeria and went on to further his studies in the United States. He is fully qualified to be in the cabinet. The fact that he is Oshiomhole’s son does not disqualify him from holding a position he is competent to manage. He will serve as Commissioner for Health based on merit.”
