Forcible Take Over Of Edo House Of Assembly Meets With Popular Resistance by MainblockAngle: 4:39pm On Aug 06, 2020

Edo people have proven once again that they will defend to the last man an attempt by the Edo State EPM faction of the APC, led by Adams Oshiomole and a Benin billionaire, to destroy the hard earned Democracy they engendered by voting Governor Godwin Obaseki in 2016. As we write, Edo people have all relocated to the premises of Edo House of Assembly, EDHA, to defend democracy, because Oshiomole and the said billionaire had planned today to take over the Assembly Complex forcefully and throw Edo State into political anarchy by bringing in some strangers to announce a purported impeachment of the Governor. An impeachment that exist only in the figment of their lawless imaginations.

The plan was hatched in the Aiguobasimi house of a Benin billionaire, and presided over by Oshiomole. It had in attendance: Oshiomole, Ganduje, Tinubu 's aide and the billionaire. The plan was a frenetic and desperate reaction to the opinion poll carried out by these people to assess the chances of their factional candidate for the September election. The opinion poll was sponsored by Bola Tinubu, a lover of opinion polls. But this time they found out to their shock and embarrassment that their candidate could not score beyond 21%. So they panicked, especially as pictures and reports from Edo North showed that the Governor was raking in all the support from would be voters there. So as a last ditch effort, they hatched the plan.

Their only option was to resort to lawlessness and violence. They invaded the hallowed chambers of EDHA to cause all sorts of violence and mayhem. They had already contracted, Governor Uzodinma of IMO State to bring a fake Mace down to Benin, which they thought they could smuggle in to hold a kangaroo sitting with their lions and tigers keeping watch, and then go ahead to say they have impeached Obaseki. It must be noted that the EDHA is under renovation right now, but that did not matter to Adams Oshiomole, whose desperation has reached feverish pitch and, who, like a thief in the night sneaked in, when the Governor was away campaigning to strengthen our Democratic process, to truncate that same democracy. It's a shame.

But happily, Edo people are there now defending democracy. The question they are asking is why is Oshiomole importing strangers , like Tinubu and Uzodinma to come and cause chaos in Edo State? Why is it that everywhere Edo EPM and its factional candidate go, violence and anarchy are on their trail? First, it was the Oba's palace and now,, it is the EDHA. Why are these trouble makers troubling our State? But we will resist them. Edo is NOT Lagos!
