Ask yourself this stupid question you're asking. "did oshiomole tell the world prior to when he became a governor that he wants to be a godfather?"

If you don't know or understand politics, don't dabble into it. During Oshiomole time, he only fought "godfatherism" and interference against opposition, particularly the PDP, where the late Tony Anenih held swayed and dictated the politics in Edo State. Oshiomole never fought the so called godfatherism within his party, the APC, instead there were political patronages here and there, even extended to the late Gen. Samuel Ogbemudia who wasbnot even a member of the APC. Leave political commentry to people are schooled in politics, Mr. Busy body

Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor, a former governor of Edo State at the weekend said efforts by President Muhammadu Buhari, Oba of Benin, Ewuare II and Alhaji Aliko Dangote and others to reconcile Governor Godwin Obaseki and Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has not yielded any positive result.

In a statement made available to Daily Independent, Osunbor also said it is unfortunate that the Reconciliation Committee set up by the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party has not yielded the desired result with the governorship primaries less than a month away.

Osunbor who said the signs ahead are not good also appeal to the party leaders and warring parties to sheathe their sword and avoid playing into the hands of the opposition who are waiting in the wings to benefit from the crisis.

He also appealed to APC leaders in the state to tread with caution not to fall into legal pitfalls after the guber election.

He said “The crisis in Edo State Chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) which has simmered for about two years now threatens to boil over as we draw closer to the Party’s gubernatorial primaries on June 22. This portends disastrous consequences for the Party and the people of Edo State unless it is resolved promptly before the primaries.

“Given my position in the Party I have made efforts outside of public glare towards bringing about reconciliation by speaking to the two leading protagonists, the National Chairman Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and His Excellency the Governor of Edo State Godwin Obaseki as well as some of their supporters.


“I also tried to rally some elders of the Party from the State to broker peace. It is common knowledge that our revered royal father, His Royal Majesty the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II made his own efforts including appealing to our President Mohammadu Buhari to help broker peace among these two illustrious sons of Edo State.

“It is also believed that their mutual friend Dr. Aliko Dangote made repeated efforts at reconciliation to no avail. So did a number of others that I know.

When therefore the National Caucus of the party resolved at its meeting of 21 November 2019 to institute a National Reconciliation Committee to address the crises in various states of the Federation, which resolution was upheld by a decision of the National Executive Committee of the party the following day, there seemed to be light at the end of the tunnel.

“However, this has not happened till date as the National Reconciliation Committee which was reconstituted in February 2020 has not yet completed its assignment.


“There is now a chance that the Committee may be confronted with a fait accompli and overtaken by events if the Edo primaries (and guber elections) are held before it concludes its assignment.

“That would be tantamount to medicine after death. It will be extremely risky and ill-advised for the party to conduct its primaries, talk less of going into the governorship election bitterly divided; hence it has become urgent and compelling to hasten the process of reconciliation of all aggrieved persons without further delay.

“The reason that reconciliation is imperative is that if the Party conducts rancorous primaries and goes into the governorship elections divided, winning will become more difficult than it should be ordinarily, given the weakness of the opposition in the State.

“Even if the APC candidate wins the election the victory will be tenuous because of the threat of litigation that is almost certain to follow. This is why we must as a party tread with caution.

“It is often erroneously thought that elections end when INEC’s Returning Officer announces a winner but this has over the years proved not to be

“At best it can be likened to the end of the first half in a game of football. The second half which is even more decisive plays out in the Election Petitions Tribunal and courts of law and way up to the Supreme Court where it involves governorship election.

“If and when that happens the matter moves from the political arena to the judicial arena and no one can ever predict with certainty what the outcome will be or what the courts will decide. Examples are legion where the courts have shocked many by declaring a different result from what was announced by INEC because a political party had violated its own constitution, the Electoral Act and other laws including infringing on the rights of its members or engaged in one form of impunity or the other. Let us not forget so soon how in 2007 the Supreme Court punished PDP for the injustice they did to Ararume.


“It is unhelpful at this stage to dwell in polemics, apportion blame or argue as to whether it is best to adopt direct or indirect primaries which at any rate enjoy equal legitimacy ( along with consensus) under Article 20 of the APC Constitution.

“There is no doubt at all that the APC Candidate will win the forthcoming election but we must be mindful not to lose the victory in court because of a flaw in the process that produced the candidate.

“The pain of such a loss will be too agonising to bear. The leaders of the main opposition in Edo have been quoted in the media as saying that they are hoping and praying to benefit from the APC crisis so that they can recover through the court the governorship that they lost in the court. APC must not make the mistake of “gifting” them the governorship whether by act of commission or omission.

“For now the signs are not good. There is danger ahead. We must avoid pitfalls. I, therefore, make this clarion call on the APC national leadership to act urgently and decisively to put our house in order by fostering reconciliation before it is too late. We need to tread with caution.” Is it a must that Obaseki contest for the second time

SirMichael1:
What I do know is, if Obaseki doesn't win the primaries, he'll decamp to pdp and because of his familarity with the terrain (Edo state), he'll be made the party's primary candidate. When the guber. election comes, Oshomole will want to rig the election and that's when he'll see the full wraught of Obaseki who will be waiting for any nonsense from Oshomole. After he wins, I expect Oshiomole to be barnished.

I laughed when I saw Tinubu supporting Oshomole, Edo no be Lagos that will allow god fatherism.


what i do know is, obaseki wins either ways and let's face it, Oshomole is currently doing more harm than good. People said they don't want godfatherism but you're imposing yourself upon them against their wish.

show me where a person has ever obtained interest form of two political parties. You people just type nonsense thinking you are making sense. Obaseki has bought and submitted APC interest form, decamping to PDP won't make him PDP flag bearer cos he's not legally permitted to buy forms from 2 political parties

Edo no be Lagos, but obaseki went to the same Lagos to seek help. You will be alright las las

Oh

XXLMANDIGO:
What I hate most is the trend of indifference in the body language of President Buhari. With his position as the President he should naturally be the arbiter to resolve conflicts and party issues when all available avenues has been exhausted. A President that lost Zamfara and Rivers to internal squabbles is a lazy, figure head Leader.

Governance= Zero

Party Politics= Zero

Banditry=Zero

Corruption= Zero

Economy= Zero

Overall it's obvious Buhari is an incompetent leader and that's so pathetic for a Country like ours in 2020. It's hard being a Zombie or BMC.

You are blind to the issues on ground in Edo State. Obaseki has only told Edo people lies by saying the problem between him and the governor is that of godfatherism. Are you aware that over 70% of the top APC politicians in Edo has issues with Obaseki? Is it because they want to become godfathers too? In politics all over the world, you settle stakeholders who have worked and helped to a political position, and not fighting them immediately they helped to climb the ladder. Even in America, there are political patronages.
If I may ask you, does Chris Ogiewenyi wants to become a godfather too? Do Pius Odubu (former Deputy Governor), Chalrse Arhiavbere, Samson Osagie(former Senator), Patrick Obaiagbon(former House of Rep Member) Francis Inegbeneki, Hon. Abubabar Momoh(former House Rep Member), Osaro Obaze, Captain Hosa Okunbor, Ehigie West Idahosa(Former House of Rep Member), Lucky Imasuen ( former Deputy Governor) and many top APC members want to become godfathers too?

So, Obaselki's sin is because he refuse to SHARE THE MONEY? How is APC different from PDP then

Supporting the choice of a direct primary is not imposition it's more democratic as far as the political terrain in Nigeria is concerned..
Also, withdrawing his support for a certain aspirant is also his right and that can not be said to be imposition.

go and teach him nah

Oshio should just disappear

SirMichael1:
He was still the governor at that time so that isn't a good father. More like a recomendation

So it's godgovernor?

Minjim:

So it's godgovernor?

No, recommendation.

Validated:
It is either APC accept Obaseki or PDP takes over, either by ballots or by litigation. Funny enough to Obaseki, he holds the 4 aces here. All those Lagos politicians can do nothing about it.
Oshomole: You cant have second term.
Obaseki: If I don't nobody in APC does.
For those who are paid latop agents, know that if Ize-Iyamu is nominated, PDP will just relax and head to court to disqualify APC as it did in Zamfara and Rivers.

That court shit won't work this time. PDP is so predictable, SMH.

SirMichael1:
No, recommendation.
