Oshiomhole Opposed His Son’s Appointment As Commissioner — Edo Deputy Governor

Edo State Deputy Governor, Dennis Idahosa, has revealed that Senator Adams Oshiomhole opposed the appointment of his son, Dr. Cyril Oshiomhole, as the Edo State Commissioner for Health.

KanyiDaily recalls that Governor Monday Okpebholo, shortly after assuming office, appointed Dr. Cyril Oshiomhole to the position, recognizing his expertise and suitability for the role.

Speaking on Channels Television on Wednesday, Idahosa disclosed that Oshiomhole was against his son’s appointment as the Edo State Commissioner for Health.

He explained that despite the senator’s objections, Cyril is a qualified medical doctor well-suited to lead the Ministry of Health.

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 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.”
