Nothing could be further from the truth.
He'd never do that, lest he awards the governorship to the APC even before the election day.
Obaseki using the SDP platform + the PDP also fielding a candidate (divided votes) = an easy APC win.

What he needs to do now is sit and talk with the leading PDP aspirants, mollify them to close ranks, drop their ambitions and support him with the promise to put them in the scheme of things should they win the election.

don't u think all parties will b cautious in dealing with him based on his rancour with his former benefactor,what if he replicate same to them?

Traitorship blood that's running on his vain can't depart from him peradventure he won as a governor under the platform of PDP he will not revolt against their leaders there? because he doesn't want godfather why can he go and join APGA to be his own godfather/godmother so that ipobians can vote for him
ungrateful and ingrate somebody as a sitting Governor use your veto power to make yourself a second term governor

No sane person or political party would make a major sacrifice for obaseki because he his an hypocrite and an ingrate, he would behave all humble and nice now but as soon he gets what he wants (second term) he would call them thieves and threaten to deal with them just like he did to oshiomole and others that supported him to become the governor when he had no political relevance or influence .

If Obaseki wins as Governor from another party and the adopted party insist that one of their own is made the deputy governor, then Phillip Shuaibu can be made the Secretary to State Government and Head of Service - that is even more powerful than the office of the deputy governor because he is directly in charge of the state civil service and so many other important functions that even the deputy governor is not privy to- so how will he lose out in the actual sense ?

Do not forget that the last position Emmanuel Uduaghan held in the James Ibori administration before becoming Governor of Delta State after Ibori was not the deputy Governor of Delta State, BUT Secretary to State Government and Head of Service. Shuaibu has a bright future because he has shown the same type of Loyalty Goodluck Jonathan had for Deprieye Alamaseigha when Obasanjo was causing the same mayhem in Bayelsa State in 2005 folllowinf the arrest of Alamaseigha in London- Obasanjo was trying to use Federal night to prevail on Jonathan to take over from Alamaseigha but Jonathan was loyal to his Boss, Alamaseigha - unknown to Jonathan, Obasanjo was so impressed by that loyalty (which he was not getting from his own VP Atiku)


guess what, the following year 2006, he made sure Jonathan (a political nobody in federal politics of Nigeria ) to clinch the VP spot at the PDP convention by overlooking political heavyweights like Peter Odili, George Akume and even former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim


so don’t feel sorry for Shuaibu, than man will go places- because great leaders are never product of weak compromises but steadfast and courageous actions!

All these comparison won't work in this situation Obaseki find himself... Are you saying that Shuaibu will relegate himself to become SSG from Deputy Governor?
Do you know that Obaseki will be tagged as a selfish person immediately he drop Shuaibu for another candidate?
Supporters of Shuaibu will surely vote for another candidate because their principal is not in the race anymore...
When PMB wanted to merge CPC with ACN in 2014 he came with the idea of having Tunde Bakare as his running mate, the ACN turned it down and insist on producing the VP.. PMB has no choice than to drop Bakare..
Politics is different

you only see your examples as valid because it appeals to what you want to believe.

Tunde Bakare was ONLY a contestant with Buhari in an election cycle, BAKARE NEVER WORKED WITH BUHARI AS VP IN AN ADMINISTRATION-

you can not compare your behavior when you are playing lotto to your behavior when you actually win a lotto. Bakare was not the only person Buhari discarded when he failed to win as President

before him were Chuba Okadigbo, and Edwin Ume Ezeoke. so Bakare was of no importance to Buhari more than an agbada Buhari wears to a political rally- it is when you win that you see your running mate as part of your political legacy so Bakare was not sacrificed, he can’t claim to be betrayed because the team BUHARI- BAKARE was a dream that never happened in the first place


it’s like your girlfriend suing for divorce when you never married her in the first place

LASTLY I made the Uduaghan comparison because he didn’t need to be deputy governor for Uduaghan to succeed James Ibori. and let me ask you - HOW MANY DEPUTY GOVERNORS DONYIU KNOW THAT ACTUAY SUCCEED THEIR BISS TO BECOME GOVERNOR? May be one or two instances in a democracy that has lasted 21 years so even without the drama at APC it won’t have been easy for Shuaibu to succeed Obaseki because he is from Edo North where Oshomole is from and Obaseki is from Edo South so Edo Central (Esan ) was supposed to present the next Governor for the APC.

That is politics and NOT all positions are beneath a person. Positions are to serve the people not to serve your ego so someone can be a Senator today and tomorrow become a state commissioner and next he becomes a State Governor and then a Minister (dont you know being a minister is actually a downgrade from being a governor ?) yes it is

that was why Kayode Fayemi resigned as a federal minister to contest to become Governor of Ekiti State


so should former governors Amaechi and Fasola now resign because they were downgraded to ministerial positions ? heck no - it’s about service to the people and not ego!

lol,from EDO is not Lagos to long epistles, stop deceiving yourself baba, stop giving yourself false hopes, every discerning mind knows shuaibu is finished politically except something strange happens, he's far gone, to make issues worse he's From the same senatorial district with oshiomhole, except he decamps and form a strong political structure which is very unlikely because oshiomhole has the whole EDO north politics in his pocket. Say me farewell to shuaibu for me.
How do you even feel knowing it's boasts, drumming, beating of chest of people like you obaseki listened to that made him a political orphan overnight?

The other aspirants will never seek to lord it over him. They'll never scheme to dictate to or demand complete subservience from a sitting governor as Oshiomole did.

Stop endorsing Godfatherism.

u people pushed him to d tight corner he is now with your political myopia,the same person that came in through godfatherism is now trying to form angel by fighting it

u people should understand that it's hard fighting a structure that birth u coupled with d discrepancies in his certificate.

I wish to hear d comments of "Edo is not Lagos crew" at this junction.people like davash222 n ezenwa

little boy, you are very narrow minded

failure exist only in the grave

the Buhari you worship today was jailed after he was overthrown for 3 solid years and the keys thrown away - every mortal in Nigeria will say BUHARI was finished - today he is your president 5 years running

OBJ was sentenced to death by firing squad in 1995. Nobody would wish to even be is friend or brother then - he was locked up like a common criminal awaiting execution - today everyone in Nigeria prays that the God of Obasanjo should pick their call


Even the Tinubu you most likely respect more than Jesus Christ in your heart today was in exile and lived like a refugee in London for years running away from Abacha when he was in NADECO between 1995 to 1998 - today, if Tinubu coughs the whole Nigeria trembles



has Shuaibu gone through any of these travails for you to conclude he is finished politically? Are you God? your response here show you are a litttle kid who reacts at the spurs of the moment and your likes are the ones whose conscience can be bought with candies because you live for the moment - shame on you!

I understand your point.. But As it stands now if Obaseki drop Shuaibu, He will surely lose some supports.

It all depends on what Shuaibu’s end game is

we are not in his head and we do not know why he followed Obaseki to war blind folded

he had all the opportunity to dump Obaseki but he stuck with him - he knows why better than you and I

thanks bro for the analysis

AntonVince:


Who're the "...you people"?

Igbos of course,they believe in fighting even when it's obvious they will lose.

they keep calling ambode coward n pushing him to his doom,as it stands now d guy is a goner....he can't win d guber election irrespective of his party n EFCC is waiting for him steady

I just hope every Edolite isn't like me who have given up hope on Obasekis ambition.



I really do not care anymore... Both APC and PDP are presenting two Edo men, that's all I care about.



But should obaseki join any party but PDP then he should kiss his relelction goodbye.

What type of headline is this; Na transfer signing

This politicians don't have the masses at heart. They are all just after their own individual interests.

You are in fantastical problem which has consumed your second term bid .sorry is your name when you forgot where you were coming from !!! when you are in position of authority .you too listen to praise singers than good advisers .You used your 4 years live line to fight only one mans downfall .you took the downfall of your helper as a project of your government .No one can know it all ,see it all, do it all and get it all but people can only stay with you to enjoy it when you get it.

comos:


It is better he was use another party and form coalition with PDP and the rest party.

With this he can easily win the election

...PDP will never agree to such arrangement. APC and PDP dictate the tone in Nigeria politics.

Why is he running around? Is it a must? Must he go back the second term? He's acting as if, he loves the masses so much whereas all of them are just fighting to get there and loot our money.

AlabiJ:
Wrong move if true. APGA is where he needs to go. Obiano will outspend anybody to ensure he wins reelection. Igbos already dominate business and commerce in Edo and would contribute handsomely to his campaign. PDP, SDP or any other party that ends with a 'P' cannot save him. APGA is his only hope.

but obiano is APC in spirit and apga with mouth

hollah123:

you're right,
He will be ingrate to anybody or any party that help him.
An ingrate does not deserve help.

if they did not put kobo for ingrate obaseki reelection. Or rather, obaseki will give them money for using their platform.
But part of their agreement for using their platform, is the sharing of post after winning, and ingrate obaseki will still like to double play them.
And ingrate obaseki will still tell idiotic pigs of Biafra that sdp want him to share Edo state money with them or sdp want to be his godfather.
Obaseki is a wicked soul, he does not deserve help from anybody or party.
Obaseki is worst than devil.

Hmm, if he's making bid to unify the other parties and be chosen as their unitary candidate with promises to flood them in top affairs then that's the end of APC in Edo state entirely, cos Las Las these same guys will get him his second term and flood the house with their candidates relegating APC backwards, hmm, well just maybe.

He is in talks with every party. Politics is a must do in 9ja. It doesn’t matter if a party does not align with what you stand for as long as you get a ticket. I don’t understand. Today you are a liberal, tomorrow, a conservative.
