Don’t drag Obaseki into your tantrums, Osagie warns Igbineweka

The Special Adviser on Media Projects to the Edo State Governor, Mr. Crusoe Osagie, has warned the Labour Party candidate for Oredo East State Constituency, Mr. Victor Igbineweka, to desist from dragging the good name of Governor Godwin Obaseki into his tantrums over his electoral loss.

In a statement, the governor’s aide expressed disappointment over the recent trend of individuals and other actors within Edo State who, instead of taking responsibility for their failures, resort to blaming Governor Obaseki.

According to him, “We are particularly appalled by the comments made by the Labour Party candidate for Oredo East State Constituency, Victor Igbineweka, in a viral video on social media. His malicious, distasteful, and false accusations against Governor Obaseki are nothing but a desperate attempt to appeal to emotions and drag the name of the governor into a matter he knows nothing about.”

He added: “Let it be known that Governor Obaseki is a man of unimpeachable character and a firm believer in the sanctity of free and fair elections as the bedrock of democracy.

“We must also emphasize that Governor Obaseki is not an official of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) or the Nigerian Police Force nor is he a candidate in the House of Assembly election. If Mr. Igbineweka has any legitimate grievances, he should take them up with the appropriate authorities with credible evidence to support his claims, rather than resorting to baseless and distasteful comments.

“We strongly condemn his uncouth remarks and restate the governor’s commitment to promoting the welfare and well-being of the people of Edo State and upholding the principles of democracy.”

Historically, it has been shown that those that were beneficiaries of democratic practices and the benevolence of the people always turn out to be the most undemocratic and most anti-people

He is a bad losser

My dear, what has the governor name get to do with Oredo election my dear respect yourself and move on

He is a loose and confuse

Well said sir.Those who are mediocre do not see joy in what others do but rather device measures to discredit them.Mr Igbineweka has bitten more than he can chew.

I wonder the level of mentality of some individual, yet they wish to represent the people.

It's obvious that people did not come out to vote in this re run election, it was strictly party membership voting. So can he claim Labour party membership is more than PDP membership in his constituency? Abeg that guy should go and sleep and think of what to do next with his life.

Life will always have it own basic realities. PDP have the high ground for now as far as Edo State is consign

Your character has proven your inability to represent the good people of Oredo East

Politics is not a do or die thing, many of these politician aims and ambitions are not based on the purpose of good of people rather than their selfish interest. An election have been conducted on fair grounds just because it didn't go the way they want it they start talking and saying all sort things discriminating the good works of a governor whose has the interest of his people at heart. I urge all stakeholders, politicians to work together for the progress of Edo State.

Any politician who blame others for their misfortune is only wasting time ,Mr Eweka should know that Governor Godwin Obaseki is not the kind of person he thinks . A governor with class and charisma cannot be accused of electoral fraud

Its quite unfortunate for every loss and won election people starting blaming a know reputable personality of our dear governor, as inec will. say go to court if u feel dissatisfied not pointing any accusing finger on governor that knew nothing about your election

Say what you know, and avoid issues you know nothing about. Otherwise, when you cry for justice no one will hear you. Most of you now assume that every cry for justice is vindictive. Be warned.

PS. I am from Edo
