Residents Berate Senator Alimikhena Over Callous Statement On Adams Oshiomhole

"Help... Help... Philip Shaibu dey carry Francis go where e no know?" That was a comment on a thread about Francis Alimikhena, the current Senator representing Edo North Senatorial District in the National Assembly, in response to his recent jab at Adams Oshiomhole regarding the purchase of motorcycles as a means of empowerment.

During the flag-off of the APC's campaign council in Auchi, Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State a few weeks ago, Adams Oshiomhole made the following statement...

“I can’t have N500 million for constituency projects and go and buy Keke Napeps motorbikes and grinding machines, that is not lawmaking.

I want to be a Senator, not a Senator sharing grinding machines for widows, buying motorbikes or Keke Napeps for 10 out of 10,000 youths,” he said.

According to him, he has always supported widows and the less fortunate, even before serving in government; in his words, "I don't need to be a senator to support widows and youths." That is what I have done and continue to do. Today, I am paying school fees for students who cannot afford to attend."

The former APC chairman and ex-governor of Edo State stated that his priority is to change Nigeria's annual budget system to benefit ordinary citizens.

So recently, in a rally, the Senator representing Edo North senatorial district in the National Assembly, Senator Francis Alimikhena, attacked the former Governor over his remark about purchasing motorcycles for constituents, claiming that Oshiomhole was thinking about how to develop a budget that would not affect the common man.

Edo North residents are not amused by the senator's remark and have dragged him to account for his two terms in the Senate, which have brought nothing to the people of Edo North but stunted growth for the senatorial district.

They wondered if Francis Alimikhena understood what it was like to present a bill in the National Assembly, and some mocked the Senator for his lack of expression, saying he can't even communicate well in English, so how can he fight for people's rights on the House floor when his speech is blurred and full of incoherent grammar?

Let's look at a few of the hotly debated remarks that did not spare the senator at all.

Kashim from Agenebode started the thread with this jaw-dropping remark: "Help ...Help Philip Shaibu dey carry Francis go where e no know? Is Francis the PDP candidate of Edo North? After failing to secure the APC ticket he ran to PDP where he went to bribe the Tax Collectors to secure a ticket that is not in existence? People dey talk say dem dey contest Oga Francis wey dey follow Shaibu we no sabi where dem dey carry am go still dey talk?

"For eight years, he represented a vibrant constituency and turned it into a Senatorial dead zone. He has done nothing with the large constituency funds given to him and has no bill to his credit, yet he delights in mocking Oshiomhole, who is far ahead of him in every way." Aisha Balogun from Akoko Edo.

Miracle Ena slammed the senator, saying it's unfortunate that someone who can't even speak a full sentence of English is in charge of a constituency that is brimming with energetic and highly qualified individuals. He believes that Oshiomhole should be the senator's least concern.

"Is it Oshiomhole that is Francis headache ? He should be concerned about the fake mandate sold to him by Shaibu and his new found party the PDP. Money they say is not everything , Francis should be bothered on what he has to tell his people that he has failed them in the past 8 years, someone who can  not make a simple sentence in English that has killed vibrancy from our constituency still has the mouth to talk "

"Him do 8 years as Senator , Oshiomhole do 8 years as governor at least we get each of them track records, we know how Oshiomhole transform Edo North to wetin e b today, make Senator open e mouth tell us wetin him don do since with the hundreds of millions of constituency allowance. Francis is empty and i am surprise say PDP still dey give am microphone to talk, in anyway does he even have the mandate of the PDP?- An artisan from Owan on Francis Alimikhena's credibility.

"It is unfortunate that the locust that has eaten deep into our common patrimony is campaigning for a third term when there is nothing on the ground to show for previous performance." These people would buy ten Keke Napep and give them to their domestic helpers, then tell us they had empowered a community with hundreds of Keke. How many people have they aided since arriving in Abuja?

Instead, they continue to boast that they will spend billions to discredit the former Labour leader in the general election, billions that could have impacted the lives of ordinary citizens. We are wiser now, and there is no longer room for ZERO constituency performance."

For the serving senator, it was a downpour of Gbasgbos. Don't forget to leave comments below...

The bigger question is why should this be on Nairaland frontpage? This is local gossip at best. Ikirodah handpicks some select comments, analyses them in his usual myopic, self-serving manner, and boom! It's on Frontpage!

Really

Nairaland should do better than this nau.

Now, on the topic. Everyone in and from Edo North knows that Francis Alimikhena was a compound failure, but on which party’s platform did he achieve two terms? Ikirodah stylishly avoided that.

We expect Oshiomhole to do much better, but that's not on account of his party, but on account of self.

When history remembers Alimikhena, it will be remembered that a visionless man who can't make a single correct sentence in English, who thinks Senatorial office is all about sharing a few Keke Napeps and motorcycles and grinding engines was foisted on Edo North people by the APC

Bdhd

This is not the comment you are interesting is liking, check the next

It's that time and season again.


The Games have already begun, now let it get Bloody

Politicians and lies.
Oshiomole berated himself by mingling and teaming up with Ize Iyamu for the 2020 Edo State gubernatorial election.
Oshiomole said he has been taking care of widows even before he ventured into politics, lols this was the same Oshiomole that told a Widow to go and die.
Interesting times ahead.

Power drunk politicians

You cant support Peter Obituary and not look foolish. It's only senseless animals that supports Peter Obituary. In a sane society, person like Peter Obituary should be contesting for ward chairman to learn politicking after is terrible performance as a governor in Anambra.
A clown cashing out on his delusional Zombies

Senator Alimikhena is living in past glory. He was brought into the Senatorial seat by Oshiomole and the he was allowed a second term which is even a disservice to the people of Edo North, because Senator Alimikhena lacks the charisma, the intelligence and vibrancy of a true representative.

Now, he wants to go for third term, a feat which even performing Senators before him could not achieve!!! It's simply greed on the part of Alimikhena, because there is nothing on ground to show what he has offered for the past close to 8 years - no meaningful constituency project, no bill sponsored, nothing visible don with constituency fund apart from buying keke napep and motorcycles to about 50 persons in his area within the Senatorial district.

Alimikhena is no match to Oshiomole in this Senatorial contest.

How can APC be dissociated from the competence of Oshiomole but responsible for the incompetence of another? Stay on one side so your argument can be clear.

Oikirodah is always bringing trash news here.
Hungry APC journalist....

contesting against oshiomole in Edo state is an effort in futility

Bunch of slowpoke's on both sides of the divide including the gloating OP.

When Oshiomole was forcing Alimikhena down their throat in 2015 as a replacement for one term Domingo Obende, he was the best thing before party jollof, now the yellow pawpaw wife marrying midget from Iyahmo want his seat, the dumb Francis is running helter skelter, suddenly rug rats who were hailing them 8 years ago no longer know who Shaibu the deputy governor is.

Then we have the bush fellow(OP) flashing his BAT like brownish teeth on NL gleefully hyping such stupidity while the mod thinks it is worthy of FP.

Puta

You know nothing about Edo politics so just rest

This source with one other guy on Nairaland I find as extreme bore... Consuming their contents reduces brain cells.

He gives his half-baked thoughts as public opinion.
