I thought they said Dangote has settled the fight?

same reason tinubu have not interfere. This is between Edo and the Niger deltans

Corruption is being discussed openly without any qualms of conscience. So it's business as usual not the interest of the electorates.

Nigerian politicians are so selfishly full of themselves to learn. They keep repeating the same mistake. The fact is it is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT for an incumbent EXECUTIVE GOVERNOR who is constitutionally powerful to be ETERNALLY dependent politically on his predecessor or any godfather who installed him.
Recent experiences have shown that most of such arrangement failed to work: Gov. Chris Ngige vs Chris Uba, Gov. Theodore Orji vs Orji Uzor Kalu, Gov. Sullivan Iheanacho vs Chimaroke Nnamani, Gov. Liyel Imoke vs Donald Duke, Gov. Chibuike Amaechi vs Peter Odili, Gov Emmanuel Udom vs Godswill Akpabio, etc. Interestingly, it did not even work well between President Umaru Yar'adua and Olusegun Obasanjo.

[s]However, this arrangement has SO FAR worked perfectly in Lagos State and delicately in other South West States under Bola Tinubu.[/s]

Fashola fell out with Tinubu in 2011 and was renewed in 2014/15

Ambode fell out with Tinubu in 2019

Amosun fell out with Tinubu in 2015

Fayemi even fell out with Tinubu

Aketi fell out with him...

Except Ajimobi (who even lost politically) and Aregbesola, I don't see how it worked in SW...


Be guided!

Ogun go kill Ayiri. Wetin concern am with Edo state. Criminals!!!

After Goodluck Jonathan lost election, from no where this idiot ayiri was on news, visiting tinubu and some of the apc leaders, hoping that could help his unknown names, after then today is the second time am seeing the thing on news.

It will never happen.
1st term is for obeying your godfather, licking ass and making sure you secure 2nd tenure.
2nd term is for obeying your family, friends and political associates.....build your base so that you'll have something to fall back on after your 8 years.
Obaseki is in 2nd tenure.
That's where Ambode failed.
He should hv licked Tinubu's a*s throughout 1st tenure so as to secure 2nd tenure....but he was in a hurry

This guy is just indicting Oshiomole. Ode.
So Oshiomole fought to end gidfstherism has now installed his stooge and wants him to accord him the same status of godfather which he claims is not good for the state. Everybody is a joker and hypocrite.

Oshiomohle doesn't really know what time it is. Pancing all over the place like a preying mantis. Edo N' Oba ye!!! Who's gonna allow an urchin like you to be the next Igbinedion

The body language of the man in Plymouth road states otherwise. Remember capt hosa rebuilt the palace, and also bought the Royce rolls phantom and capt hosa is a major sponsor of the rebellion against Obaseki. If the man in Plymouth road supports Obaseki, how come Obaseki has not been given a chieftaincy title?

You are right about Amosun but Tinubu did not install Aketi.

dokyOloye:
Say no to godfatherism.
Oshiomole is not complaining that Obaseki is not working, just that he is being 'sidelined' which could equate not sharing d money.

And where did you read that from M.U.M.U?

BobiNick:
This is sad but makes sense. Many might not see the truth and condemn Oshiomole, but truly this is politicians for you. Oshiomole fought so hard to ensure the end of pdp in the state after their terrible years of ruling. For anyone in Edo state to boldly come out and say Oshiomole did nothing in Edo state, I believe that person needs a mental check or maybe that person is an indomie generation kid.

Many see Oshiomole as someone who wants to be a Godfather, but if you look deeply that is not his agenda. He is only trying to protect what has been planned to work for the country because we all forget that the oppositions are never sleeping till they regain power.

Obaseki might be doing well as a governor in Edo but he is being ungrateful for forgetting how he got into that sit. Trying to follow the instructions from a past governor of the same state who fought tirelessly to bring you to power is nothing to do with Godfatherism.

There are issues that can be sorted out without the media and so when it gets out to the media you know that there is already a dispute. That dispute is being sponsored by the opposition or the moles of the opposition who want to take advantage of the situation and that is the direction Obaseki has chosen to follow.

We all think it will end well with him if he continues like this but we forget that those who laboured to put one in power and knew exactly how they did it can still do it again especially when they are still in powerful position. Don't also forget that the normal citizens who really vote care less about who would take power because during elections they only focus on the money being shared and even after that, these results don't count as victory because we all know the story and how every politician that looses an election will run to tribunal.

Obaseki should better wake up now because as long as he is in Apc he can't defeat them in this way and the worse mistake he will ever make is the assumption that the doors of pdp is open.

This is why an average Igbo man hates you guys. You preached against Godfatherism during Saraki, today... You're supporting it same thing you preached against. Why should Obaseki be loyal to Oshiomole against the interest of the state?

Is Obaseki's loyalty meant to be with the people, or Oshiomole? May God help us. Oshiomole fought Godfatherism in Edo, now he wants to be one. Who takes the blame if things go wrong, Oshiomole or the present Governor? Please be honest, and not partisan.

Not a bad write up, albeit lengthy.

I think you missed it when you said 'trying to follow the instructions of a past governor'

Do you mean 'seek advice' when necessary? Or take instruction?

Oshomole shame on you you once say that Edo state does not need godfather while the suddeny change obaseki please carry go free your people from hand of evil man all in the name of politicans

The body language of the man in Plymouth road states otherwise. Remember capt hosa rebuilt the palace, and also bought the royce rolls phantom and capt hosa is a major sponsor of the rebellion against Obaseki. If the man in Plymouth road supports Obaseki, how come Obaseki has not been given a chieftaincy title?

Probably in the same angle. That's the main point. Seeking advice and following that advice is keg. Whereby you don't seek the advice and decide to go about it your own way, don't you expect your elders to now caution you if they don't see it as the right way?

So all circles down to one thing, you should always look up to your leader (don't bite the finger that feeds you). You either seek their advice or listen to them when you don't.

If you worked for Dangote and after a while he positions you to set up your own factory somewhere and you start making excess money, will you call him your Godfather? Even if you don't call him your godfather, will you always be loyal to him because of the position he has placed you in life?

Just simple logic but at the end, because it's all politics, we got it twisted by the godfather name. It's just a natural thing that we all live up to, always be loyal to who placed you in a position of power.

You missed the point because we are all looking at one aspect of this Godfatherism issue. What is a Godfather or who is a Godfather?
Like I asked someone, if you worked for Dangote and after a while he positions you to set up your own factory somewhere and you start making excess money, would you call him your godfather? Would be always be loyal to him? Even if you become richer than him, what will be your answer to the above questions?

Oshiomole fought a good fight to see how e can end this Godfatherism but don't forget he did not kill them and they are still existing. They are everywhere trying to take advantage of any loose opportunity. His mode of trying to protect what they have fought for so it doesn't go back to what they are against may seen like he is trying to be a godfather.

The major point is that has Obaseki ever gone to meet him to seek advice? Even if he doesn't agree with the advice, is he suppose to stage a war about it like this?

He is a sitting governor and if he doesn't like anything about what his leader wants, he can talk to him personally and ensure it doesn't be of anything like a battle. These things are just normal but obviously power intoxicates and excessive power intoxicates more so that is just all what Nigerian politics is all about.

He said "it was oshiomhole that made him governor against all odds" Why should Oshiomhole make Obaseki governor against all odds? thats the begining and origin of the whole problem.

This man is spewing rubbish. Why the Governor ingrate ? When Obaseki used to finance Oshiomhole during elections was he ingrate then ? Mind you that the Governor is for Edo State and not for Oshiomhole and his political cabals. Whatever means Obaseki came to politics is none of anybody's business rather destiny and he must work for Edo people and not one or some criminals or the so-called god-fathers

This Ayiri guy speaks so unintelligibly.

Please don't make it look like one is a Saint. Oshiomole wants to control the state parliament, thereby controlling Governor giant proxy. That's the fight. Obaseki is fighting dirty too, why should Oshiomole want to control state Parliament if not Godfatherism.

I'm not holding brief for Obaseki, but the truth be told, Oshiomole is same with Saraki, Tinubu and Ikpeazu they're all thieves.

Well, the people that are your close friends and associates tell a lot about you.

Oshiomhole and his squad; Tony Kabaka, Nomoless, Shaba, Ayiri, etc all have something in common...

Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

Chief Ayiri Emami, the Ologbotsere (traditional Prime Minister) of Warri Kingdom on Friday urged elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark to stop interfering in the politics of Edo State saying he is shocked by the comments he made on the political crisis rocking the state.

It will be recalled that Clark had faulted the ultimatum the two chambers of the National Assembly to the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, to issue a fresh proclamation on the inauguration of the state House of Assembly or risk a take over of the Assembly.

He said the directive from the federal lawmakers was unconstitutional.

However speaking with journalists on Friday evening, Ayiri, who is a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) described Clark’s statement as unfortunate.

Accusing the former Minister of Information of taking sides, Ayiri said Clark should have advised Obaseki to comply with the laws of the land rather than encouraging him to continue his illegality on the inauguration of the Edo State House of Assembly.

” When I read what Chief Clark said, I felt very disappointed because he is an elder statesman and he should know the laws more than many of us”.

” In 2015 I recall that Chief Clark never supported Governor Obaseki so if Obaseki is trying to be very ungrateful to people that brought him to power, I think as a father, Chief Clark should have advised him better, not to cause chaos in Edo state because Edo and Delta are still the same”.

“I expected him to call Obaseki and advise him as a father but he did not do that, rather he took side immediately. Let me tell you, there is nothing about Edo state that we don’t know, the National Assembly has it as a duty to intervene in any state Assembly that has crisis”.

” So, for anybody to fault that move is unfortunate and that Is why I am shocked with the comment made by Chief EK Clark”.

“All of us knew how Obaseki became governor of Edo state, he was never a politician. It was Oshiomhole who made him governor against all odds. Oshiomhole offended many people loyal to him just because he wanted to make Obaseki governor”.

“So it is unfortunate that today, the governor sees himself as a thin god, exhibiting so much disrespect for the man that made him governor. That is ingratitude of the highest order and it is not good for him as a governor”.

“Even comedians are now using Obaseki to crack jokes, he has become a laughing stock in the eyes of the public and that is not good”.

“There is an adage in Itsekiri which says you must remember the good of yesterday. Whatever Obaseki is doing he must sleep and reflect the good time he had with Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. A couple of times I had an opportunity to sit with Comrade and he kept telling me that ‘Ayiri, you know how I laboured to bring Obaseki so I cannot support pulling that house down’. So I don’t see Comrade fighting Obaseki but Obaseki is juts fighting himself”.

“It is unfortunate that the governor has allowed some politicians take advantage of this crisis so as to make money from him. They are hailing him and before he will realise what he is doing he is already in a big mess. So Chief EK Clark should concentrate on Delta state where he caused so much problem for people and leave Edo alone because he does not know how Obaseki became governor” he said.

Chief Ayiri Emami the self proclaimed Warri billionaire is high on TRAMADOL and CODEINE.

He is talking trash !

There are different level of government federal, state and local government including national house of assembly and state house of assembly and each of these levels has their own powers.

I am wondering where Chief Ayiri read in the constitution that the national assembly has power to meddle in the matters of the state?

If you look carefully, pdp has a very strong cartel in Edo state. Those pdp guys are on point and Edo state not to forget is the only South South state with apc leadership. That is just to tell you that the whole south south governors and in strong ground with pdp just to take over Edo state.

Now Oshiomole might only be trying to fix people he knows will be loyal to the apc in the state parliament like you said, but obviously Obaseki has is own issues now with other stakeholders from his own side who are making Obaseki think Oshiomole is trying to be a Godfather and the end result of this is the fact that it is the handwork of pdp moles within Obaseki's government. If you notice, the pdp chairman of Edo state is a man that always outcries in any given opportunity but has been very silent about all this while because they are waiting patiently and working behind the scene.
