Edo matter.... If they need yoruba help, they shud call on us..


After all, edo is another yoruba colony....

Part of our babies together with Delta.. Our pikin.


Na we even build uniben for them if not edo no go get one single federal university to boast of.

Edo will always be grateful to yorubas.....

Obaseki wants to play Obasanjo's begging Atiku second term move on Oshiomole

Ambassadors:
Politics in Nigeria is different. The political godfathers or party leaders dont care if you have anything to offer the masses they care majorly about their personal/party interest. Democracy is not good for Nigeria period! Selfishness & greed of our leaders will destroy the nation.

One thing lead to another, godfathers have so much care for party faithfuls which you must maintain as elected officers on the platform.

Obaseki claimed he was fighting godfatherism in Edo politics but stylishly grooming himself to be one by not swearing in lawmakers that were duly elected by the people.

Let him deal with comrade as he boasted. Plotted coup together with el-rufai and others to get comrade off his position he laboured for but it all failed now. How could he have been so stupid to mess with his father. Let him just be grateful he has used a term already

gaskiyamagana:
But we must be realistic. If the man Obaseki is truly yet to sworn in 14 APC state legislative members duly elected by Edo people in their respective LGs, he will do the worst if given any chance to run again.

That's the genesis of all the brouhaha, he was approached by the said godfather (oshio) as an active party chairman to swear in the duly elected lawmakers but declined due to reasons best known to him, which is not the best decision for the party.

Believe me, if obaseki is allowed to re contest, opposition parties already have delicious meal on their tables

Who cares? Fok you all, including you reading this trash, fok you too

The said godfather is not asking him to bring money nor appointments but only asking him to keep to constitution of the party and Nigeria as a whole but denied 14 lawmakers of 24 their rights to represent their people, which can easily bring the party down in the forthcoming elections

Aksnoopy:
APC will sure lose EDO election!

Oga PDP is not serious in Edo State.

Sakamaje:
Obaseki had very terrible politicians advising him from the beginning. Politics is an art of managing human relations so that you can have the leverage to deliver on your electoral mandate and promises. His advisers must have pushed him towards the unnecessary aggression towards Oshiomhole. Even if he had issues with the party chairman, he could have been more tactful about it, especially knowing that he was still interested in a second term. You don't plan a coup that fails and expect there not to be consequences. Most failed coup plotters end up executed as a consequence, while the lucky ones go on exile. Obaseki should understand that there will be consequences for his failed coup against Oshiomhole

Stop this already. You guys think Oshomole own Edo state. Forget what you read online.The picture on the mind of 80% Edolite is that Osho wants to install his puppet to dry Edo state treasury, so Edo's are ready to fight against that.As it stands if obaseki decamp to PDP believe me APC will loose the state, except buhari uses police and army to ring the election.

But what did they expect Sanwo-olu to contribute in saving Obaseki? It was the same style of indirect primary they used to oust Ambode.

I believe Edo people are not as gullible as you are, besides i believe you are entitled to just a single vote in any election, so stop speaking for Edo people.

Gullible?I guess you don't know the meaning of that word

I have been a silent supporter of obsseki ever since the second term saga but my question is why has he not sworn in the legislature
If it was true, then he has nothing to say but to go home.

Lol. Obaseki is a popular candidate ( so they say).
He should test that popularity. This test will make sure aggrieved party members will be few. Cos all card carrying members where on the booth and majority voted for and against a candidate.
Why cry foul? Why clamour for first refusal when u are not in gud times with some of the state players?
In my opinion, both Obaseki or Pastor.. can win the main election without Hitch.

athaboi:
There's no justification to this, it's not bcoz of any Constitution nor democracy or even for better Edo state...it is simply political interest which oshiomole is fighting to achieve. If you can use indirect primary in kogi, what justification do you have not to use same in Edo state.

They are all thieves, aren't they

bamidelee:

Hallucination.

My friend wake up, even under the watch of Oshimole Edo state lost to the PDP in the last presidential election. Whichever way, Obaseki has got nothing to lose cos he has left an indelible mark in the educational sector of the state that posterity will surely reward him for.

Is any of them fighting for the interest of the masses?

Go and read history well. Those examples are not similar in anyway. All those things happened because of poor management and party sentiments. The party is now trying to focus and manage her affairs how she should, by giving a voice to all her members, thereby doing right by them.

oz4real83:
Why history always repeat itself is simply because human beings don't learn from history. It happened in Zamfara, it happened in River's state, it also happened in Bayelsa. Everything on ground shows that it may happen in Edo state, yet, the APC party leadership does nothing to avert it and when it finally happens, they will blame the judiciary. Wetin be my own sef Na una know.

Is like you didn't read the whole story. The governor has refuse swearing-in 14 law makers into their respective offices which is wrong already. There are criteria that meets up the mode of primary Edo state has not meet up any of those criteria. What do you have to say about the 14 law makers

Heffalump:


This is not Lagos State vs your jagaban.

.........Obaseki there or everything will scatter like spilled milk.
When you give too much power to some people they begin to compete with God. This is the case with your Tinubu. Edo is different!!

. And who is acting good?I would say Obaseki who for one year now has denied majority of state legislators exciting their mandate.

Must Edo be Lagos if I may ask... cant a group just decide to run it's own way and pattern..?

Are you from Edo State? Are you living in Edo State? Why is Obaseli afraid of allowing the people of Edo to vote for him directly? Why?

Obaseki plotted no coup against Oshiomhole, he served Oshiomhole's govt for 8yrs with his intellectual and economic know-how to help Oshiomhole deliver.
Now, Oshiomhole started the aggression because his Agbero boys in Edo were not getting public funds to share as they were used and they compelled Oshiomhole to use his influence to prevail on Obaseki to do their bidding which he refused. Hence, they started manoeuvring politically to impeach him through the state assembly but he checkmated them.
That's the grand plan to push him out came to be.
Are they after him for failure in governance, NO!
Why you people condone political power abuse to detriment of governance?
Igninedion's govt failed woefully because of similar activities and influence by Tony Anenih, same thing happened in Oyo or Oshun with Adedibu overbearing on the guvnor.
We all clamour for infrastructural, political and human development as seen abroad but we celebrate stupid political reasoning and myopic power mongers in govt, is that how those advanced countries led their people do the things we admire and desire to enjoy?
Blaming Obaseki for standing against political irresponsibility by Oshiomhole is the reason we always have poor governance, we celebrate the political power play rather than emphasis of delivering of governance.
I beg make Nigerians dey get sense reason well...

When Obaseki emerged as governor he thought that Edo state is his own property that he can decide everything to his own will, hence he has refused swearing-in 14 law makers which is enough to even discandidate him.

Is Obaseki afraid of testing his popularity at d grassroots?

the

It's always easy for people to quickly accused Tinubu each time there's a political rifts, and yet your low balls too mouthed Governor remembers he will need Tinubu when it was dawn on him he won't win this forthcoming election, if he's so damn sure himself why he's running helter, skelter for?? You don't bite the finger that feeds you even Oshomole knows says Tinubu na baba, Tinubu is a masterclass politician he's has paid his dues,when it comes to politics your tantrum or yabs won't do anything accept the fact Tinubu is a Maverick politician and does who are wise would go him for assistance if your Governor is so sure of himself let me test his popularity with direct primary after all na Edo man, Edo man that me I know are never afraid and ever always ready.!!

MoIbrahim:

Your comment shows you have no idea what's going on.
Party primary is not for all Edo people but by only party members to select who 'll represent their party in state elections.
And talking primaries, part of constitutional requirements for direct primaries is a comprehensive members register updated every 6months but this is not available because they have not met this condition.
Secondly, with restrictions on people movement due to Corona virus infection, all party members can't gather from the different parts of the state to one location for the primaries.
So, only indirect promaries is suitable under the circumstances. Even when there was no restrictions 4yrs ago in Edo it was indirect primaries they used so, why the change to direct primaries now?
Oshiomhole is the illogical one who's risking people lives by demanding mass movement of party members to gsther for the direct primaries because that's where he fancies his chance of rigging Obaseki out.
I hope you're educated now?

But the other party, Obaseki's, who wants indirect primary is also fighting for something too,This is a power tussle, isn't it interesting? To me, if Obaseki has performed beyond reasonable doubts, he should not have raised eyebrow againt adoption of direct primary, it involves more party members unlike the indirect primary where delegates are elected to choose their candidates. And in all fairness, all things being equal, indirect primary is more prone to manipulation than direct primary. Obaseki knows what he's doing, he wants to bridge all gaps through few delegates he has strategically positioned in the hall. They are all thieves as you've asked. I believe we should all sit firmly on our chairs and watch how things unfold with time, this will be a season film...

Can you tell us any justification for him not to swear in 14 law makers that were duely elected by the masses? And it's the same said oshiomole agbero worked for him?

Heads will surely roll.
