Stop this nonsense
Uptill now I don't know the name of any PDP governorship aspirant
All we have been hearing is Obaseki/Ize iyamu
As far as I'm concerned PDP is dead in Edo due to the unforgettable infamous 10yrs they held sway

Help2020:
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.

Thank you. This whole Oshomole worshippers don't understand. The common Edo man is solidly behind obaseki cos they will not have Oshomole become something he fought against

Olami83:


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.

Oga boss, Edo people will not allow Oshomole become the Tinubu of Edo state. Thank you

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

Were Kogistate Assembly under locked for months? Did Yahaya not inaugurated the Honorable members of state Assembly? Reversed is the case of Edo. Let us be logical in reasoning.

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

One bottom of champagne for you!

Edo does not need to be Lagos, but you can't tell us Edo is not Lagos in the morning, but you still rush to that Lagos in the evening to seek anointing. It does not work that way.That is a sign of hypocrite

[/s]

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!!

The likes of you are the one deceiving Obaseki!

Lyydia:
I m sure he knew what e was venturing into before e started..


He should fight like a man, to the end, with no regret!

Lolz! He fought the right battle @ the wrong time.

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.

He hasn't sworn them !

boookworm:

Yeah.

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?

So when I said people of Edo, it came across to you that I did not know the difference between party primaries that holds this month and
the general election that holds later in the year? Pele o.

Every politician hiding under corona. Continue hiding...

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.

To stop such history from repeating itself,the direct primary is the way out as it will give all aspirants and factions the equal opportunity to participate in the shadow election..Indirect primaries were held by different factions in the aforementioned states.

Apparently you also need to be educated on what direct primaries entails , and what indirect primaries entails because you have it mixed up ,

Drchristian:

Read the news again to comprehend your question

I quoted someone..

The godfather and godson are both rogues, my concern is why Obaseki up till today refused to swear in those 14 democratically lwcwted lawmakers. He goofed on that one, he has lost the party structure in his state, Oshiomole was just unfortunate to come from the state. If I was the Chairman of the party too, I would sanction a direct primary, it is dangerous to both the party members and its fortune in the state if he is to be given a free pass.

explain to us

Olami83:


The highlighted points of yours hold no water in the court of law, some group of people must definitely have grievances against party decisions.

Zamfara and Rivers went south because party leaders were disorganized and mistakes has to be corrected in Edo case. Irrespective of the direct primary result, believe me the court of law believes every members of the party are carried along.

Obaseki shots himself by not swearing in the 14 lawmakers which justify any decisions make by party leaders

on the contrary that is one of the smartest moves by obaseki, those lawmakers would have been influenced by osho to threaten him with impeachment and he would have no option but to kowtow to their demands

myboy2111:
I have some insights into what is happening to the Edo State Governor.

Obaseki cannot win free and fair primary in APC Edo State even if backed by Adams Oshomhole(AO)

1. Obaseki does not have problem per se with AO.
2. Obaseki was not a politician b4 becoming Governor
3. Obaseki is a technocrat brought by AO
4. Obaseki was not known in the political dynamics of Edo State b4 becoming Governor.
5. He was imposed on the APC hierarchy by AO
6. AO is not after Obaseki, but he is venting the anger of APC faithfuls in Edo State
7. Obaseki has not performed to the expected standard set by AO and Edo People. Obaseki WAKE and SEE Projects were substandards and have all been washed away by rain
8. AO actually performed wonders in Benin and other parts of Edo State, if people that don't have short memories, will surely remember the unpalatable years of PDP.
9. You can hardly point to any legacy projects carried out by Obaseki, unlike Oshomhole.
10. Obaseki, immediately after assuming Office, abandoned the APC party faithfuls and foot soldiers that worked for his election from top party hierarchy to the ward level.- APC members in Edo can confirm this.
11. Obaseki refused to inaugurate 14 elected members of the State House of Assembly, representing over 60% of the constituencies in Edo State
12. The Governors sacked all the appointees that were with AO and worked for his first term election.
13. The government was chopped alone, die alone.

I don't know who may be his political advisers ,but Obaseki will either create history or repeat one.

This is my biased assessment.


Still typing

when u talk.about legacy projects hope u are not referring to the bungled specialist hospital which oshomole us d to embezzle Edo funds? what other legacy projects can u point to? or is it the university dat is another whole can of worms of misappropriation?

until the day of election many folks in my constituency never even knew the fellow contesting the federal h of reps seat, but they voted for pdp anyway and he won.

The part of your post that I emphasized is a very low point of Obaseki's government. That action has denied some constituencies legislative representation for 4 years!

The second mistake he made was conniving with others to remove his party national chairman and failing to achieve that objective. From that point forward, it means that reconciliation was foreclosed.

Wow! Oshiomole loverboy!!

Obaseki has not committed any crime against the people of Edo state- the electorates. He is only answerable to the poor indigent citizens of the State who have been raped by past administrations due to bad governance. If I help you to position doesn't mean I automatically become your god and creator!

Stop supporting evil my friend. Go ask the people of Edo State if Obaseki has delivered on his mandate. That's more crucial than being a stooge in someone's pocket.

We all have to join hands to make Democracy work in this country. Stop fanning embers of wickedness and manipulation. Should Obaseki contests today in the gubernatorial election in Edo, there is hardly anyone that can beat him. The problem is within the party

wonder233:
Bamidele: Quintessential Yoruba spineless stooge. After the bashing you people received during the Ambode saga, I know you guys are eager to want to "prove" to everyone that godfathers should be worshipped. That's why you jump on every thread on nairaland praising Oshiomhole and insulting Obaseki.

Tom foolery, there's godfatherism everywhere in the world, even cabal. If your senses are still fully functional, the question you should ask yourself is, can't Ambode, Obaseki et al come as independent candidate and not through godfathers?
Something is telling me you're sick.

Zeezy81:


My brother what is the matter with us? Someone came and told you that another was a condemned criminal, a nonentity and a cultist, sir you believed him, yet few weeks to the end of his own tenure he acquired and absconded with over $70m environmental fund. As if that was not enough same man is turning around to say mr condemned criminal, cultist and nonentity is a saint and the best creation from God and you here drumming support for him.
Gullibility at its height, like there is an affliction with foolishness

Ask yourself, why did Ambode, Obaseki et al. agreed to be their godson when they know they won't be loyal?
Some of you are not trustworthy like those people you're defending in your daily life activities.
Politics is about loyalty. If your wife shifts her loyalty to another man, how would you react?

fergie001:


Have you been pushed to the wall before?
When same happened to Obaseki's predecessor, he removed the roof of the House of Assembly, and relocated House proceedings to Osadebey Avenue.

Keep quiet PDP mole

They are all thieves, aren't they

Your comment is too foolish to be reasoned with, what is your biz with what APC use to conduct it own primaries.

DeRay98:


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...

Two wrongs don't make a right they say, Obaseki if truly is a politician should have gotten wind of those 14 lawmaker's assignment to plan his impeachment, why allow them pass through primary, get the party's flag and contest without checkmating them. Why wait until they were elected before taking action? You see where he is at fault? 14 out of 24 is a majority, and you feel all will be well? For these 14 to have emerged it means they are reckoned with in their various units, wards, LG and zones, they may have Godfather's too. His Advisers messed up big time, they even allowed the matter drag up until this time without addressing it. The excuse that he will be impeached does not hold water, is that how easy it is to inpeach a sitting Governor in Nigeria? How many of such have been impeached, Naija wey be say the Governor is also the Speaker of the house in proxy. He messed up big time, and I'm afraid he might pay dearly for it. Shalom.

This kid again....na wah

You couldn't have reffered to your uncle as kid.
Except, you failed to complete the elementary classes. PDP mole, dishing out, how Apc should conduct her primary

APC and her internal crisis. Sure, conflict is natural but its management is discretionary.
If care is not taken, Edo being the only APC controlled in the whole of South South may as well be lost to PDP, the most popular party in the region.
Vested interest and quest for relevance as a political god father are causing the deadly political imbroglio.

you are part of the kids who go about insulting people?? I have got no time for you guys, until you start feeding yourself

Thanks..Those governors who are running to save Obaseki should be sensible and rational enough to back off since none of them is not so strong headed to the extend of fencing off their legislators.
