I always knew someone would soon start ethnicising the issue to divide Edo State. How is this an Edo South issue? You must think you're more Bini than the Oba who is working for an amicbale resolution.

I laugh when those from outside EDO state believe the propaganda that he's wake and see governor, since this man assume office he hasn't even grade a single road in EDO north, there's no one single tangible thing he has done, I repeat no one single thing, if you know he has done otherwise I dare you to mention them here, he promised two hundred thousand jobs during campaign only to come out to say he has created 77 thousand already and it's almost four years lol, his gentleman look and composure really deceive people, he's not done one quarter of what oshiomole did in oshiomoles first 6 months in office in his three years so far, I stand to be corrected with facts. he's just an average selfish and power hungry curroption ridden Nigerian governor

The misinformation here is that you're one of those who Oshiomhole fooled and you carry the lies most uninformed people carry.
There's video that has gone viral on whatsapp this week where Oshiomhole addressed people from a podium.
Where he vomited how Obaseki called him and told him to come contest in Edo that he (Obaseki) will mobilise his friends and rich Edo people in business to fund him to contest election.

Oshiomhole as a labour leader had not the kind of money needed to contest election against the federal might of pdp and rich pdp members in Edo, he hadn't the money to build political structure that he built in Edo.
Same Oshiomhole beg Obaseki to join him to use knowledge of the corporate world to build Edo and appointed Obaseki to head the economic team which was the back bone of Oshiomhole's success.
Campaigning for Obaseki to succeed him was to return favour to Obaseki for believing in him, raising funds to help him become. For helping his administration to succeed because of the economic team and strategy Obaseki employed for his govt.
Yet, you're all being more Catholic than the Pope.
Oshiomhole is the ingrate and he'll soon know that power is trancient.
My friend go see that video because internet doesn't forgot what is put there.
can you share a link to the video?

Tribal bigot. This is not a fight between Edo South and other Districts in the state, but a fight between a a greedy father and a disobedient son. Stop trivialising issues.
oga forget that thing, when osho was gov he got the full support of the binis, we even voted against one of our own in PDP to reelect him, now he thinks he can ride over our intelligence, we will see.

I am really suprised at people calling oshiomole a tyrant or Godfather...was it not the same God fatherism that he used to support him to become a Governor? Would Obaseki have become a governor without the support of the so called "Godfather''? the truth is that you can not bite a finger that feeds you..If some1 is bigger than you, u learn how to fight that person with wisdom...I was told Obaseki was a political lightweight until The same osho he now demonises brought him to limelight..For me, Oshiomole is nt anyway a tyrant, He is just withdrawing his support from you..if you can survive without his support..Goodluck! But he has the right to support anyone he so wishes..it's not a crime..

Really? And you think Oshiomole is fighting for a non Bini to take over as Governor? Do you know the people behind the uprising against Obaseki? If you don't know, let me tell you that they are sons and daughters of Benin. Osa Okunbor, Gen. Ariabele, the Igodomido himself, Eribo, Kabaka and a lots more are all Binis. I think you don't know what's going on, so better stay clear from this political roforofo. Oba of Benin himself has handed over the matter to the gods of Edo to decide.

He never fought for the masses. He has been conning since his NLC days just that he played his game well then. My broda that man is the most corrupt Governor edo have ever had.

For a governor to say this, u know he has endure alot.



Just imagine talk. Did Oshiomole pay loyalty one day to Igbinedion and Eze Iyamu that brought him and financed his election as Governor. He fought so hard against the powerful Chief Tony Anenih as Godfather in Edo and now you want to be what your fought against.

My brother Edo is not Lagos. Nobody lick asss over here. Go to your Lagos and be doing loyalty by giving the whole state money to one man. It cant happen in Edo.
Not only in Lagos oo, infact, osun State has been annexed as well.

the wahala here is that oshiomole didn't even overstep.

The real issues is between obaseki and 80% of the APC structure in Benin, they wanted him gone and have been trying to lobby oshiomole to their side. Oshiomole actually refused to wade into the petty issue because he was already national chairman and he gave obaseki freedom over Benin politics.

Obaseki finally spoilt the whole thing by refusing to inaugurate lawmakers that are not of his faction, this is finally what has clicked for them and they know that oshiomole must answer this issue because of his position as party chairman.

You will notice how Oba kindly removed himself from the matter

Oshiomole should let this man be .I hate people that can’t taken a portion of their own pill .who questioned Oshiomole when he was the governor and passing budget with 9 members , who questioned him when he removed the speaker then, who questioned him when he removed the roof of the house of assembly and meetings where done in government house .Baba should go and sit somewhere .Baba own don too much
did oshiomole lock out the other lawmakers or hold sessions at night? Ofcourse you can pass anything once you have a quorum. The case here is he refused to inaugurate lawmakers who are not his fraction, that is not right, he could have influenced it, even change the sitting but you have to proclaim a house publicly not in secret. Even oshiomole who had a lot of pdp lawmakers made well to Inaugurate them properly.

His loyalty is 2d people of Edo state first& foremost b4 any other person or persons. Except u don't know, Obaseki is following d precedent set by Oshiomole who "abolished" godfatherism in Edo state. So obaseki isn't accountable to any godfather cos d practice has been abolished in Edo state. If buhari & oshiomole get insulted by other Nigerians, then u should ask urself why. That's how people learn
no body is asking him to bow down to godfathers, he should learn to do things properly

The problem with Obaseki is he wants to become the godfather of Edo APC politics without working for it.Obaseki didn't sponsor financially the elections of APC House of Assembly lawmakers yet he wants to control them.When he stopped ticketing in Edo state,all APC leaders in Edo state including Adams Oshiomhole supported him.Adams Oshiomhole was not interested in Edo APC affairs until obaseki illegally and purportedly inaugurated the house at night.I feel ashamed when i see obaseki lie on tv concerning what's going on in the state.I supported his election in my ward with my own money.There is no way he can justify the purported inauguration of the house of Assembly when the evidences against his illegal actions are so glaring.

But you know these are all lies. You must be one of the agberos Oshiomole empowered after rigging elections. The educated elites of Edo state love Obaseki. Obaseki is the most educated governor Nigeria has. He can easily express his vision and mission without reading a prepared script. Intellectually oshiomole is a big dunce compared to obaseki. If oshiomole was a sincere person he has enough on his plate as apc national Chairman. Or can he say all is well with the party. Oshiomole is the type that need power for power sake.
lol

We have had a PhD president who flopped. Obaseki has done nothing outside Benin, his vision is on paper and maybe when he is through with 1st term we will now start comparing
