Governor Adams
Oshiomhole's Chief of Staff, Hon. Patrick Obaihagbon was
on Tuesday pelted with different objects by a horde of
angry Edo citizens.


According to Leadership, the mob was protesting double
taxation in the state and governor Oshiomhole wasn't
around to receive them. They therefore decided to vent
their frustration on the walking dictionary.

Hon Patrick Obahiagbon was shouted at while some youths
threw objects at him as they insisted that the governor
must address them.
Security agents however were able to calm the angry
youths and they left government house unattended.

A social commentator and Human right crusader, Rev Olu
Martin, said they had to embark on the protest march
because of the hardship occasioned by the alleged double
taxation and land use charges introduced by the
Oshiomhole government.

He said: “We have used every avenue to tell the governor,
when we voted him into office in November 2008, there
were promissory notes that made thousands of youths
support him and by the definition of democracy by
Abraham Lincoln, it was apt then.


“At the beginning, we saw some attempt by the governor to
ameliorate the plight of the people. In the past when the
governor was going on inspection of projects, people will
abandon their wares without even locking their shops.

Nobody remembers now how you came in but how you left.
It appears the government has turned it ears against the
people; all our cries and lamentation have been met with
propaganda by government and all we hear is that they
are being sponsored.”
