The Sleeping Governor


I will be taking a closer look at the poetic stylings of Governor Godwin Obaseki, who seems to have a knack for betrayal, breaking of promises, leaving the good people of Edo State high and dry and the slumbering state of affairs in Edo State, as I present to you the sleeping Governor who has abandoned working for his people to work for his pocket.

This will be a comical musings of a governor who seems to have swapped his work boots for a pair of cozy slippers, all in the pursuit of lining his pockets and that of his cronies. So grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and enjoy the poetic journey through the sleepy realm of Edo politics.

From abandoned infrastructure to skyrocketing poverty rates, it's no wonder that Edo residents are feeling a little neglected. But wait, there's more drama! Enter the innocent deputy governor, Rt Hon Comrade Philip Shaibu, whose governorship ambitions have caught the eye of Governor Obaseki.

Will Obaseki succeed in truncating Shaibu's dreams, or will the people of Edo State continue to rally behind their beloved deputy? Hold on for a while, let me consult the gods, but then; the betrayal of trust by Governor Godwin Obaseki is evident in his failure to fulfill electoral promises, leaving Edo State entrenched in debt, poverty, crime, and neglected infrastructure.

Governor Obaseki's misguided priorities are highlighted in his relentless pursuit to suppress his Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu's ambition, disregarding the needs and aspirations of Edo people.

There is a growing disillusion among Edo people towards Governor Obaseki which stems from his audio projects, artificial MOUs, his neglect of pressing issues like security, development, and well-being in favor of political vendettas and power struggles.

Stay tuned,
