Nehikhare admits illness, still denies begging Governor Obaseki for money

We have a popular Benin parable which says that when a thief admits stealing a few tubers of yam, be certain that he stole the missing bags of yam. (Oyi gha miugan kue, aghi ren we re ewa ere o domu)

The rattled image maker of the infamous Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has come out to say that Governor Godwin Obaseki offered to pay his medical bills when he took ill. This is against his earlier declaration that the story was a figment of the imagination of the APC.

But our insistence that he begs the Governor for money has made him admit that he fell ill at a time, though he still lies about being the one that asked the Governor for money to pay his medical bills. Nehikhare should be courageous enough to bare it all. Half truth is good, but telling it all will make him a real hero, though he stands to lose his job.

The world knows who to believe between a PDP spokesman who defends the activities of a bandit that parades itself as a political party and the APC.

Very soon, Nehikhare will tell it all.
