Edo Governor Godwin Obaseki has said that no amount of blackmail would stop him from demolishing the hotel owned by Mr. Tony Kabaka because it was built on government property.

Obaseki said there was no political undertone in the decision since he had warned in the past that his administration would not tolerate lawlessness.

Obaseki, who spoke on the sidelines at the Annual General Meeting of the Edo/Delta branch of Manufacturing Association of Nigeria, said his administration is not afraid of anybody and would not succumb to blackmail.

According to him: “Businesses cannot thrive when there is anarchy and complete disrespect for the law. For us as a government whatever we need to do to ensure that there is law and order will be done.

“If you have done the wrong thing and taken over properties that is not yours, to build on government property is the wrong thing to do. If you go and build on road, that is not the right thing to do. If government tolerates that then more people will become lawless.

“If any law has been breached in Edo State, I have sworn to the constitution to preserve order. This is a government that is not afraid of anybody and will not be subject to blackmail. Anybody who contravenes the law no matter how highly placed you are in Edo State, you will be dealt with.

“It has no political undertone. If you go to Etete now, I am doing the same thing. I am fencing the sports centre. I have warned in the past that anybody who encroached on government land or school properties will be dealt with. Go to Bénin Technical College, that is evidence. As long as they continue to behave lawlessly, we will enforce the law.”

Hmmmm, Tony Kabaka will nearly have heart attack

Thats how elrufai is dealing with them makarfi,Hunkuyi,Zamani Locoast dem, and some former untouchable elite. To be a great leader required strong discipline to step even on the lions tail if need be,am proud of you sir megwo

Mr Governor please go ahead and do the right thing Edo people are solidly behind you. KABAKA and his oga Oshiomhole can go to hell. Edo is not Lagos. If them do anyhow, them see anyhow. Oba ghato kpere Iseeee

Kabaka go kill himself ooo, that guy love that hotel pass him life

This nice gentleman should not tow the paths of former oyo governor he should reserve his arsenal for the election and oshiomole and leave this little guy alone

A governor with balls unlike one poltroon that was chased out of the government house by one bullion van and drug baron.

Its a format tinz.

Obaseki got no chill @ all.The beginning of the end.

Seems serious power tussle is taking place in Edo.... Or is the governor sincerly doing the right thing and not witch hunting?

All these people demolishing, are there already built ones to replace these?

Na people job dey lose like this. Make them go start to thief?



Get more people to patronize your business to make more money. Use Social Media Promotions. Check my siggy for my WhatsApp

Pride comes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall. It's too late for Kabaka, he should have thought of making amends with the governor before rushing to social media to boast that there is nothing Obaseki can do to his building.

Power

That's my Governor speaking.

Season film.. Let see how it play out. We are here watching

The idea is to get Kabaka to fall in line

I finally have a Nairaland account

Hello people

If its not a construction that's obstructing, then there's no need for demolition.

Destruction is the government of the APC.

Not that kabaka built the hotel illegally... Just because he supported oshiomole..
Politician and hypocrisy are 5&6

Why is Obaseki disgracing Oshiomole’s boys like this na ?

That's my Governor speaking.

Lets see how this ends

Karma indeed is a bitch! Same Kabaka that was living like there is no tomorrow oppressing people and using thuggery to get away with murder. Life!

To even think that this thug's convoy can comfortably compete with a state Governor's convoy speaks a lot about the rots in our politics...

Wow, what a pity.

Okay

But seriously it’s better to die a gallant soldier than die as a puppet still...
Obaseki a sharp contrast of ambode

Where does Kabaka work?
