It better for Obaseki to align with Tinubu than that short man DEVIL.Obaseki wud rather share Edo state money with Tinubu than Oshiomhole.Obaseki shld also learn the trade of being a Godfather of Edo Politics.Oshiomhole must be relegated to the Political dustbin.

It isn't because of soft landing but reality knocking at the door. I am sure Obaseki has closed his eyes for a minute and imagined life outside of office - he didn't like it.

Ambode did worse before sending his uncouth wife to Osun to beg the Tinubu. The same woman that stormed out of a Holy Communion because she was not recognized despite showing up late.

And Kabaka's house that Obaseki pulled down? The siege he laid at Oshiomole's estate, the power flex and brags about how he'll cut Oshiomole to size only to beg his fellow governors to go with him to beg Tinubu.

The scene is crazy familiar. Tinubu won't calm Oshiomole because it will send a very wrong message to his very own camp. A good leader is brutal and decisive and will deal ruthlessly with an erring subordinate. That is how Tinubu has managed to remain powerful.

He is benevolent but also brutal when he wants to be. Obaseki should carry his black face away from our site and retire already.

Just behold the utter bunkum emanating from a Nigerian desirous of good governance. Brazenly endorsing God-fatherism and adulating the same criminals and looters toying with their future!

This is just a normal politicking. Obaseki need second term and it's normal he meet with the political bigwigs. Even Buhari deed it when he was seeking for his second term. They try several times to meet with Obj even when it was clear that OBJ did not support him. Very normal

[quote author=Trumpcard05 post=90173815]Hmmm ...light will surely triumph over darkness

Hope APC & Oshiomole don’t find out too late that they are barking up the wrong tree. Obaseki enjoys popular support from citizens of Edo State and will continue till 2024, with or without the hungry party leaders and godfather wanna be Oshiomole.[ That is not true, Obaseki is too mean. )

In 1968, during the civil war, when Colonel Benjamin Adekunle saw a video footage of one of his soldiers, Macaulay Lamurde, shot and murdered an unarmed Biafran POW, Mathias Kanu, he court-martialled and executed him. He was also filmed and shown around the world.

Why did ojukwu execute Banjo even tho he laid his life for biafra and he's not igbos. angry

When the Biafran occupiers began to lose ground, their paranoia increased. Each set back on the battlefield was blamed on saboteurs, and in the desperate circumstances of continual retreat, the policies of the Biafrans turned to draconian, inhumane solutions. The murder of non-Igbos intensified. In Abudu, over 300 bodies were found in the Ossiomo River and on 20 September 1967, many non-Igbos were slaughtered at Boji-Boji Agbor. And at Asaba, Ibusa and Agbor non-Igbos were taken into custody by Biafran soldiers and transported in two lorries to a rubber plantation along the Uromi-Agbor Road where they were put to death.

In the tit-for-tat atmosphere of war, it is perhaps no surprise that an estimated 200 Igbos lost their lives when the Federal takeover of Benin City began on September 21st. Later, mobs in places such as Warri and Sapele would turn on the Igbos. Many Igbos, including the erstwhile administrator, Major Albert Okonkwo who had declared the Mid-West to be the “autonomous independent sovereign republic of Benin”, fled eastwards for their lives.

Newsweek, in one of its reports titled “The Resurrection of Biafra,” stated that “some of the worst massacres of the war, in fact, occurred when federal troops captured minority regions -where upon the minority tribesmen turned on the Ibos in bloody fury.”

This quote presents the Igbo as the victims in the hands of the minority groups, without reference to any experience the minorities might have had in the Igbo-dominated region before the arrival of the federal troops

Don't digress. Did you watch the video of the Execution of Mathias Kanu, A Biafran by Nigeria Army on youtube? If you did do you agree it was a massacre and not a war? Have you also watched the BBC interview in which sardauna insulted Igbo's?

Did ojukwu also execute other biafrans aside colonel banjo?

1. I don't believe Obaseki is a good politician. A fight of two rounds, he has exhausted his energy in the first round

2. Apart from Bagudu that was mentioned, all other governors are pro Oshiomole.

3. To my believe, the meeting was just caricature to fulfil all the righteousness that they tried to helped him. But Alas, nothing good will come out of the meeting as Obaseki faith has been sealed after Oshiomole survived his removal

4. In as much as I don't like what Obaseki did, I still have the feeling that Ize Iyamu might be worse than Obaseki

5. Oshiomole I know will not forgive Obaseki because doing so will mean Oshio has drugged his own political grave if Obaseki come back. Remember, that short man is very stubborn. He did it to Amosun and Okorocha.

6. He will not allow mistakes he made in both Zamfara and Bayelsa to repeat itself in Edo. All permutations@@@.
has been evaluated

7. I wish all of them good luck.
