APC Kicks Against Godfatherism. Edo 2020 by InfernoNig: 8:30am On Mar 20, 2020
Big Trouble As APC kicks against Godfatherism says Obaseki must face direct primaries.

With the crowning of Adams Oshiomhole as the undisputed Chairman by the court of Appeal, Obaseki has made a u-turn with a plea for leniency.
Obaseki's campaign team has resolved to be still and stay calm while Adams Oshiomhole becomes the Godfather and anoints Obaseki for a second term.

Read the narrative below and see why Obaseki's gamble in APC might lead the Ambode way.

There was this powerful King who had so much wealth and a large kingdom, he had four wives but only a child, a beautiful girl.
The aged king who was getting worried about a successor decided to arrange for a competition amongst all the men in the Universe . So whoever wins would be betrothed to the daughter and be the next King.

So the King said any man that could cross a special stream to the other shore would emerge the winner.
Now this stream is notorious for having all the most dangerous animals and reptiles in it. Crocodile, Snakes, Sharks name it, nothing has ever survived the stream.

The people wondered why the King should gather them for such a competition when he knows the task is impossible.

While the people were gathered a tall handsome man who apparently was a stranger to the Kingdom was passing by and wondered why the large crowd gathering around the stream.

That was how he walked up to the stream, without his knowledge of the mystery surrounding the stream.
While this young man was looking into the stream some group of men pushed him into the stream and asked what was he scared of?

Behold that was how this young man struggled and struggled till he swam successfully to the other side of the stream.

The whole kingdom erupted in joy and the King offered the young man his daughter as a bride, the man refused.
The King not relenting added fifty per cent of his Kingdom as well as the daughter, yet he still refused.
The King not giving up said ok the man should ask for anything even to his four wives inclusive and the whole kingdom.

The man still refused and said all he wants is for the King to fish out those men that pushed him into the stream.
He requested they be given the same treatment he was given. They should be pushed into the stream as well. he forfeited the spoils of his victory for justice to be served.

This narrative sums it up in Edo State Chapter of APC.
Respondents spoken to says Obaseki should as well learn his lessons the way Adams Oshiomhole learnt his.

They agree Oshiomhole has been humbled and now it is time for Obaseki to be humbled and present himself for direct primaries.

Obaseki who they claim is the master of name dropping has dropped another one. That Buhari says Oshiomhole should go back to Edo State and deliver Obaseki.
Deliver Obaseki as what they rhetorically asked. As a godfather?

APC says no to godfather-ism, Obaseki should present himself for direct primaries.

The APC members have agreed to forgive the repentant Obaseki but he should be subjected to swim through the same stream he pushed the young man into.

It is correctional justice they claim. Direct primaries or no APC.
How far Adams Oshiomhole goes in honouring the so-called infertile agreement remains to be seen.
The fans of Obaseki four-plus four-movement hopes Oshiomhole bounces back as the Godfather to impose Obaseki on the other heavyweight contestants.

Here is a recap of a few direct assaults on the personality of Oshiomhole by Obaseki.
Obaseki dropped Oshiomhole's nominee as Commissioner.
Dropped local council chairmen loyal to Oshiomhole, a move interpreted as godfatherism on the part of the Governor as well.
Refused to inaugurate 14 members of the EDHA because he believes they are loyal to Oshiomhole.

Revoked Oshiomhole's Cof O and threatened to demolish Oshiomhole's residence in GRA, Benin City. He says Oshiomhole stole the land.

Petitioned all Oshiomhole's nominee in Federal Boards.
Worked against the Federal appointment of Hon Odubu, Hon Samson Osagie, Hon Victor Ekhator and so many other prominent Benin Sons.

Obaseki stopped all benefits accrued to the party, APC.
Obaseki barricaded Oshiomhole's residence to prevent him from leaving his house.

Sponsoring of hoodlums to embarrass
Oshiomhole anything he comes to the State.

Oshiomhole was made a laughing stock internationally, Nationally and Locally.
He was reduced to tissue paper by false propaganda.

The list is also endless.
The APC members have resolved that the other aspirants are as qualified as Obaseki so he should reconcile to a direct primary or gets kicked out.

As for Adams Oshiomhole and how he decides to declare openly his desire for his benefits on his victory,is yet to be seen.
Would Adams Oshiomhole ask for his traducers to swim across the stream or would Adams Oshimohole bounce back as a God Father and anoint Obaseki?

I see Edo going the way of Rivers or Zamfara. Obaseki would rather dash Edo state to PDP than allow the unstable Ize Iyamu to become governor.
