In a recent live TV interview, the Edo State Governor; Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has revealed how the erstwhile political godfather- Tony Anenih, doctors the budget of Edo State!!
The comrade governor said on assumption of office, he met with stiff opposition from the legislative arm headed then by zakawanu garuba. Tony Anenih invited them ( the new governor and the then speaker of EDHA) to Abuja so they can find a way to resolve the impasse. Out of respect for Anenih and hoping to get the budget passed, the governor went. Only to get there and find that Anenih had deleted all the key proposals he made. Anenih started giving orders on how many roads should be constructed, schools to be built, where they are to be built amongst other things. The governor said he was so dazzled he couldnt speak. Anenih then asked the speaker to go and pass the budget as he (Anenih) had amended it properly! This happened on a weekend and by monday, the then speaker in the house passed the budget as amended by Anenih!! The governor said, he had to collapse some sub-heads to raise money to start some of the proposals he wanted to do for the state which the EDHA on the orders of Anenih had cancelled!!

MY COMMENTS- Am for once speechless, now we can begin to see how Edo state got to this state under Igbinedion and Osunbor- Governor proposes a budget, Anenih amends it to suit his taste and his puppy EDHA passes the budget!!

I will ask you one simple question and PLEASE dont give me mumbo jumbo for an answer;

Why is your boss Oshmiomhole protecting his boss Lucky Igbinedion?

Why has he never condemned him for the billions he looted from Edo state?

Why does he keep attending functions of the Ex-Esama family, drinking, dining, wining, "pepper-souping" and "suyaing" with them?

If he really wants to uproot corruption, poverty and godfatherism from Edo state, why not attack the full AXIS OF EVIL that befalls the state
ie, Tony Anenih, Ogbemudia and Igbenedion?
Why has he focussed all attention and energy on one? He surely is doing his masters biddings namely the latter two.

Snowdrops a tactical [b]General [/b]does not atack on all sides at d same time sometimes he allies with an enemy to overcome another so Oshiomole is also wise.

lannre:

so when did Oshiomole retired from the Army ?

Fhemmmy:

I will be back to read the respond to that one

snowdrops:

I am waiting for one from "you know who" myself

lannre:

@ Snowdrops
 
You are debating objectively, I am interested in the response too.  

snowdrops:

Thanks man. This is a brillaint medium to debate the politics of the day and matters arising in Edo state. They may silence us with guns and armoury on the streets but they cannot police the internet and deny us our basic and fundermental and Gods given right of speaking the truth; the raw unadulterated one.

A blind man may not notice a grain of sand deliberately put into his garri, but if you keep adding sand it will get to a stage when he will shout; ALAS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I AM BEING POISONED!!

It is time to speak up about the ills in our society Edo state in particular, especially by people like us devoid of any political affiliations.

I'm sure u read dat Oshiomole was d Gov dat advised Jonathan not to be on d wrong side of history by seating in council to unseat his principal, these are very critical times in our development as a nation and we can't afford to fail

And am i surprised that the governor is making these shocking allegations in the wake of a coup overthrowing the democratically elected speaker of the state house of assembly. If someone no matter how higly placed tried arm twisting you into doctoring a states budget, why keep silent about it for several months? Are you not as such complicit in the alledged crime?
Give a dog a bad name before hanging it.
Oshimhole; talk less act more. Our ears are full to the brim of your verbosity/verbal diarrhoea.

The Governor is really doing a great Job contrary to all the Proported Noise made by various quaters that the Governor is a Talker. My sources have magisterially confirmed that His administration has brought smiles to the people of the state. Confirmation of massive Roads expansion, reconstruction and renovation projects are also valid.

can you tell your source to post some pics please!!

this guy must be sick, can please tell your source to provide you with some pictures.

snowdrops:

Is that all you could offer? Two sentences!! You surely could do better TROLL.
You copy and paste peoples posts to hide your lack of intelligent input to the thread.
Get lost or just read what others have said if you are bereft of common sense.

we know people like you.now tell me if you hadnt seen any difference in edo state.anenih is not only an edo state problem but a nation disaster.i was in edo last two weeks and i noticed from the airport the dualisation of the road.on getting to the ring road, i was surprised at the sight of what i saw compared to when the place was a motorpark.oshiomhole promised to work when he came into power and i believe he's trying his best but when sick retard like you critise unnecessarily and i begin to wonder why some people have dull brains.i learnt anenih fought with all the civilian governors of the state starting from ambrose ali to osunbor just because they go against his order.the ube board ought to have been sworn in since 2008 while the commissioner nominees were not cleared by the pdp-controlled house of assembly for no just reason.i watched the house of reps proceedings today and i pitied edo state for having bunch of i d i o t s who dont have the state at their heart as representatives but to fulfil the wish of their political godfather.i'm not from edo so i dont care about anything about the state but godfatherism in politics is what i despise and if making anenih politically irrelevant is the only thing oshiomhole could achieve in edo state,then kudos to him.

Jaylon:


If this is true, does the Governor realize what he is saying about himself as a leader ?

snowdrops:

I hold you in contempt from that statement.

You manage to join more than two sentences, only to line every single one with insults and personal attacks.

Is that how you were raised by your parents? You dont win arguements by foul-mouthed tirades in the real world.

I wont stoop down to your level by engaging in an argement/discussion. You are reported.

ps; there have been some noticeable transforamtion in the city, but at what cost? To peoples live, shelter, misnaged and looted funds, government propaganda, deceipt, etc. Edo state deserves better. Thats what those of us WHO ARE FROM AND CARE ABOUT EDO STATE are pointing out.

pdp bastardized the state for almost 10 years,nobody complained but here is somebody that just spent 1 year in office and people are expecting miracles.tell me something new that i have not hear about governance in edo state cuz it seem i know more you.critize wisely and dont be a sadist
