BENIN — The Esogban of Benin Kingdom and chairman of Benin Forum, Chief David Edebiri, yesterday, said that impeaching Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, will not guarantee a second term ticket for President Goodluck Jonathan.

He urged the President to give the people the dividends of democracy by ensuring steady power, industrialisation and tackle security challenges, rather than fight political battles with governors over 2015 presidential election.

Speaking to Vanguard,  the elder statesman, who disagreed with the assertion by President Jonathan that his administration had performed creditably well, said: “I am not totally in agreement that democracy is already here in Nigeria.

We are working towards achieving true democracy but it has really not come. A typical example of that is the current issue of the election of Nigeria Governors Forum, where 35 people met to elect one man and the aftermath now is a disputation as to what happened and what did not happen.

“I think if the President wants to come back as President, he does not need all the current rigmarole that is going on. Let him give the Nigerians good governance. Let him make Nigeria one of the countries of the world where electricity is constant.”

ok oo...tink twice....#1st

I agree with the Esogban. Jonathan is free to aspire to the seat for a second time but the current 'rigmarole' is needless.

It's a distraction from governance and as usual, it's the masses that will bear the brunt.

The best way for Jonathan to silence his critics and slice opposition into pieces is by delivering on the electoral promises which he voluntarily made.

Will he deliver?

Obviously, this impeachment plan, now failed, has been on for some time.

Camp Jonathan is so predictable.

Em...esogban of Benin, una no go shut up before dem throw u stones?

Those people wey no dey respect elders!

Dnt say i didn't tell u o

Esogban, I am not surprised! You and your people are honourable and will speak the truth from your conscience! It is obvious you've spoken out long ago before the retardeen had even enough time to execute his useless plans! More power to you and please keep speaking the truth for a good name is better than silver and gold!

The junior partners in the SE & SS joint venture and the disciples of Jesus christ of Okirika would soon enter to start the predictable insults at the Benin chief..

Nigeria is a patented jungle indeed. Even a backyard clown known as Esogban of Benin Kingdom is trying to draw attention. Benin Kingdom was a glorified village and ceased to exist since the British did a number on it.

Mr Literacy, you have ignorantly modified the historical facts about another village empire in the place of Oyo that even the so-called emerging Oba(s) are disputing the fake stories. A mere Local Government Area chairperson can dethrone Oba and a pitiful dingbat such as you is dwelling on a fantasy land of kingdom.

You've not addressed any of the issues raised by the old man. What do we call this?

You called Nigeria a jungle but could not even engage the 'backyard clown' in a decent, logical, and intelligent debate. So who is the jungle dweller and who is the clown?

Well spoken,creating a pandemonic atmosphere is not the best for Jonathan and his re election for 2015,Let him cogently show Nigerians the reasons we should vote for him or if he is planning to rig himself into 2015.

You are glorifying your loutishness....

Brb. Let me consult my archives
