Edo 2016: Tension in APC over Oshiomhole’s rumoured endorsement of Obaseki

[img][/img]
BENIN—THE rumoured endorsement of the chairman of the Economic Team of Edo State Government, Mr Godwin Obaseki, as Governor Adams Oshiomhole’s preferred governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, ahead of the 2016 governorship election in the state is causing tension in the party.

The tension is due to the calibre of aspirants in the party, including the Deputy Governor of the state, Dr Pius Odubu, former governor of the state, Prof. Osarhiemen Osunbor, Oshiomhole’s Works Commissioner and political son, Osarodion Ogie, former Minister of State, Works, Dr \

Chris Ogiemwonyi, Kenneth Imasuagbon (Rice man) and Gen. Charles Airhiavbere.
Obaseki’s emergence in the governorship race came as a surprise to many due to the fact that he is seen as a technocrat and not a politician. He is alleged to be backed by business mogul, Alhaji Aliko Dangote.

However, tension heightened in the state’s APC last week after some leaders of the party informed their followers that Obaseki was the governor’s anointed and urged them to key into it. Vanguard learned of an alleged plot to ensure that his emergence was frustrated at the primaries by other aspirants. Oshiomhole had in an interview with Vanguard, expressed his respect for each of the aspirants and assured that the leadership of the party would ensure the emergence of a candidate that will sustain the infrastructural development he put in place.

But a chieftain of the party, Rev Michael Egharevha, dismissed such threats, saying: “If Obaseki is the governor’s choice nobody will stop him. Oshiomhole made most of us what we are today and if he decides it is Obaseki, so be it, we will all support him. So if anybody is threatening, it is only a waste of time.”

Even a blind man can acknowledge the good works of his administration in areas of infrastructure..... But when it comes to economic development, his administration has failed woefully..... My point now is.... If this man (Obaseki) was or is his economic advicer, then his (Obaseki) incapability, ineffectiveness and inefficiency is so obvious even to the blind....

The Election in Edo is going to be very critical giving the fact that both apc and pdp canditates are both from bini (Edo south)

Ize iyamu the pdp candidate is sponsored by lucky igbinedion, the same man who ruined Edo state.

Its going to be a big contest however, Apc will carry the day!

Bros, no vex! I wouldn't vote an 'anyhow' man over a PDP Candidate. I rather sit down at home and watch the tele than to go queue behind a stooge. The Chairman of APC in Edo State made mention of such when he came to Akoko Edo sometimes last month. When he was challenged by someone that he shouldn't have said we should queue behind whoever Oshiomole adopts, he said he was misquoted. Let all of them go for Primaries and the most popular should emerge.

Pst Osagie Ize Iyamu of PDP has won already, Ogie or Obaseki can't even come close, APC will be decimated in Edo next year.
kixo:
I de laugh, write of Pastor Ize-Iyamu at your own peril! That man has structures across the 18 LGAs of Edo state, have you not wondered why Oshiomhole and APC are afraid of him? This same man helped oshiomhole in 2012 as DG of his campaign team to win elections, he was DG of GEJ campaign team in 2015, he still delivered Edo to GEJ. Even APC stalwarts will work for him after both primaries. It's only those who are not in Edo state that says Oshio de work, apart from red roofing of some selected schools,Oshio has nothing to show, high taxation, the people of Edo state are lamenting!
Nothing more to be said.
