Edo 2020: Groups lead ‘peace walk’ in Edo, call for end to godfatherism

A coalition of civil society groups in Edo under the aegis of Edo Civil Society Coalition for Peace and Development at the weekend led a ‘Peace Walk’ to promote peace and campaign for an end to godfatherism in the state.

The groups further expressed worry over the rising political tension in the state, noting their displeasure on the outcome of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship Screening Committee which disqualified the incumbent governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki.

Speaking on behalf of the coalition, Comrade Batholomew Okoudo, frowned at the political crisis and fisticuffs among the ruling party’s stakeholders, calling for peace and unity in Edo State.

Okoudo, who condemned the party’s decision for a direct primary and called for an end to godfatherism in the state, said the life of Edo people is more important that the selfish ambition of any politician.

He added, "Those in positions of authority must ensure that the interests of the people are considered. Those in charge of the primary should be peaceful rather than hijacking the situation and process, putting the lives of all Edo people in danger.”

Edo will loose to PDP, by oshimole,

Way to go...

These are what we should be doing in this country.

We've so emboldened these thieving political rogues with our silence and civility which has made them begin to see themselves as demigods and outright arrogant pricks.

Now, let's find a way to do a nationwide march of this sort to demand those at the Asshole Rock to come clean and tell us what is going on in there and to show us #OurBuhari (wink wink)

Recent events has shown that, for fear of going the way of the Yaraduas, a lot has gone down and still going down.

We need to demand to know the truth, it is our inalienable right.

When obaseki was humiliating oshobaba una no do "peace walk", it's now that they've disqualified your benefactor abi Oloshi

Before nko
Isn't that how obaseki became governor Abi who knew his name before 2016? Oshiomole picked him up as a nobody and made him governor. Then when he became king he tried to destroy his benefactor. Shit don't work that way. Loyalty is everything. He will learn the hard way

the worse obaseki will do is expose APC top secrets and the people will celebrate him for that

PDP will not use someone let him even though do are desperately in need of the state unless they know well how they will corner obaseki

what many of us don't know is that obaseki is worse than oshiomole

I am not an APC member ooo

but I can predict that edo lacks qualities when it comes to leaders if not pastor and obaseki should be voted out

bottlewater1:


oya now

Then what is your stake?

What I Sight Is Rapid Take Over Of Edo By PDP, APC Is About To Scatter After This Luger Head With Its Lords In The Inhouse Battle, But Let Assume, Mr Jonner Was Thrown To The Sea' Only For Him To Free The Fallen City From Distruction,
Let The Will Of God Be Don,
Politics Is A Strong Game. Not By Might, But By Favour,,
Thanks For The Time Spent,

The least they can do is to express the grievances
