Oshiomole Advises GEJ To Stay Clear Of Edo Gubernatorial Election by maclatunji: 10:09am On May 17, 2012
Oshiomole to Jonathan: “Ignore Edo godfathers.”

The Edo state Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has called on President Goodluck Jonathan to publicly alienate himself from the PDP godfathers in Edo State who have vowed to rig the forthcoming governorship election in the state with the help of the president .

He stated further on his assurance that the president who had committed himself to idea of one-man-one vote cannot allow himself to be used by some politicians who cannot thread on their own path but to climb on the back of the president in order to succeed.

Governor Oshiomhole, who made this declaration while speaking in Lagos while receiving an award of the Champion Man of the Year for 2011, advised president Jonathan not to ignore the call by some PDP politicians in the state to help them to rig the forthcoming election, declaring further his readiness and commitment to transform Edo state.

He said: “I believe President Goodluck Jonathan has committed himself to one-man one-vote and I will like to encourage him to know that the business is not over. Some of the old men around him do not believe in the slogan. While they are preaching one-man one-vote, the godfather in Edo is talking of the presidency support that they will re-capture. How will the presidency help them to re-capture? Are they coming to vote in Edo State? I know this president will not allow anybody to behave as if Edo State is a retirement benefit on account of his services to his party.

“My fight against the godfathers started from his decision to veto what an elected governor had promised to the people of the state. As governor, I was compelled to go to Abuja and invited to a private living room of a man whose name has never appeared on the ballot paper and he has to interrogate me on why I want to build more schools. He was not convinced and he deleted the vote for mass transit, for education and other capital projects including security votes. So I made up my mind that we will not only fight the godfather but we will defeat him in the interest of the people of Edo State.

“Many people who have read my comments on Edo State from time to time are wondering why I am fighting the godfathers. To start with, I think to even use the word God is even wrong, the actual word should be the devils father because there is nothing godly in their acts. Some felt I am insulting elders, but I have no difficulty respecting elders, where I have difficulty is that while I respect the age of these people that are holding our dear state down, I have no respect for the age of their ideas.”

“It is the same thing that explains the paradox of a rich country whose people are being pauperised and it is the same thing that explains why fewer people are buying jets and more people are getting poorer.”

Speaking on the award, Adams said: “When people start to appreciate your good work, it is an invitation to do more and I appreciate the kind gesture by the company. It has demonstrated that there are still people of integrity in this country who can pass judgment based on facts rather than emotions. He had concluded

Tony Anenih should just quit politics, at his age he is supposed to be a neutral elder statesman who gives unbiased advise to both parties.

I hate Anenih and all his cohorts, but unfortunately all his former cohorts have all joined Oshiomhole in AC. So why is oshiomhole still crying wolf? I hate PDP and all they stand for, but Oshiomhole has gone far enough with this godfather stuff. Oshiomhole is gradually becoming a godfather within AC, yet he is still crying. There is nobody in PDP anymore; they have all joined AC, so he should shut up and think of how to win the election. The by elections conducted that were conducted by Oshiomhole were heavily rigged in the favour of AC, after the one man one vote nonsense oshiomhole preached. He deceived PDP into having a free and fair election to test who was more popular in edo state, and at the end he rigged it massively. That was why the last parliamentary election within the AC that saw Senator Ozamere emerging as the party's flag bearer was very bloody. There was serious intra-party rigging by oshiomhole to favour his candidates. What you so, you will reap. Oshimhole has refused to conduct local govt. elections since he came in, why? How much is edo state owing? How much was used to contruct airport road, that still on going for about 3yrs? The elites in Edo State are no more being carried away by oshiomhole's antics, they are losing confidence in him. He is as corrupt as Lucky Igbinedion who installed him there. Suddenly after it was revealed that he was building a 10.5 Billion niara mansion in his village, people close to him start getting killed, and yet he is pointing accusing fingers at others. The police should investigate the PDP and AC alike, I dont trust that demon Anenih and even oshiomhole himself. They will both do anything to hold on to money and power.

Dear comrade,
Continue to serve the people and remain fearless. But do more work than propaganda and you will surely succeed. Take a leaf from the governor of Enugu state who, within 5 years had re-contructed, to world standard, almost all the roads in Enugu metro without going on air. Anyway, my wife has vowed to vote for you, no matter what. May God bless you, comrade

Big question. Oshiomhole is in alliance with those thieves so he will never dare to mention their names. Rather he will call Names of political parties. I just hope people open their eyes n c beyond sophisticated suger-coated oratory.
