Benin City — Charles Idahosa is one of those who formed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State, but, Charles T, as he is fondly called, has switched political camp. He is now the Political Adviser to the Action Congress of Nigeria (A C N) governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. In this interview, Idahosa exonerates his principal from the Monday hanging of four prisoners on death row. He describes the execution as an entire legal matter, saying due process was followed. He also shares his perspective on how Oshiomhole's successor should emerge in 2016, just as he gives reasons for the formation of Edo Solidarity Movement (ESM), a group that is geared towards building a political structure that will lead to the emergence of the governor's successor.
