A participant at the event told Vanguard that the two Edo sons exchanged pleasantries which suggested that they may have settled their differences.

Although the duo have been having cold war between themselves, the loggerhead came to the fore as a result of the timing and manner of the proclamation of the Edo State House of Assembly.

While the governor believes that he had done what was Constitutionally required of him by issuing the proclamations for the inauguration of the state assembly, the APC Chairman who handed over to Obaseki contended that the proclamation was not done in accordance with the law.
