ACN must seriously think about designing a standard security system for its party-men - I have said it before.

PDP is made of rabid, illiterate, killers.

Governor Adams Oshiomhole on Friday gave the Edo State Police Command a 14 -day ultimatum to fish out the killers of his Private Secretary, Comrade Olaitan Oyerinde.
Oshiomhole said if the police failed to do proper investigation on the killing of three journalists last week and that of Olaitan, he would convert his leadership of the state to find solution to the problem of insecurity in the state.
He spoke while addressing members of the Action Congress of Nigeria after joining them in a street protest over the killing shortly after returning from Abuja.
Oshiomhole, who was moved to tears, joined in the protest from the Benin Airport through major streets in the city.
He said the killing was to stop the flag-off of his campaign rally on Saturday and advised the ACN members not to take laws into their hands.
He said, “I am giving the Police 14 days from today to produce the killers of Olaitan and to establish the killing of those journalists. If they do not do that, as the Chief Security Officer of this state, I reserve all my options. This country will either fail or stand. Nobody can intimidate me. Even out of power I was not intimidated.”
Governor Oshiomhole disclosed that he submitted a petition to the state Commissioner of Police, Olayinka Balogun, about a meeting where a critical evaluation of the forthcoming election was carried out.
His words, “Last week, they succeed in killing three journalists. Last night, they killed Olaitan. Let me be clear they cannot kill my fighting spirit. They agreed at the meeting that it is impossible for them to win the election.
“They also resolved at the meeting to intimidate my person and if possible to eliminate. At that meeting, they said they will kill under the guise of armed robbery, many of my personal staff and key leaders.
“I also informed the police that they resolved that several weeks before the election, they will detonate bombs in parts of the state in order to scare people away from going to vote. What is our crime? Our crime is that we have mobilised our people, we have deployed public resources for the public good and the godfather is angry.”
“The blood of these young men will fire me on to fight and defeat them. There is no going back. They have killed my son. They have killed my brother, they have killed my people but they cannot kill my spirit.
“Last night like coward, they shot Olaitan in the chest, head and belly to make sure he never survives.
“I want to serve them notice. I have the capacity and the men. If they do not behave, we can stop them from coming to Edo State. Let me say I have not come to cry today. The blood of those young men will whet my appetite for justice because their plan is to postpone again for the second time our campaign.”
“Tomorrow, we will go ahead because Olaitan in his lifetime was a fighter. We met in the field of struggle not on the dining table. I asked you not to be afraid and not to be intimidated. Don’t give up. If anything, we should be more resolved"

I think Oshiomole killed that young man so he could blame PDP for it. Epic fail.

Like Tinubu like Oshiomole

Like I said on the other thread, this was an absolutely senseless killing. Except it was for something far from current Edo politics.

Call me naive, I just don't see how PDP can defeat Oshiomhole in the next election, no way at all. That was clear to any serious watcher of Edo politics. So I fail to see why they had to kill the young man, if indeed he was killed for political reasons. Maybe PDP did not do it.

Several things were clear before yesterday.

1. PDP has an history of failure in Edo State, no thanks to Lucky Igbinedion's years of absolute failure. I experienced it, it was not preety.

2. The incumbent candidate - Oshiomhole, by Nigerian standards, is not a " make we go try our luck politician" I don't always agree with his policies and position, but:
-Oshimhole is a grassroot politician, one of the most effective in Nigeria.
-Oshiomhole is a veteran organizer in and out of politics, like him or hate him, he is effective as a campaigner.
-Oshiomhole, agree with him or not, knows when to compromise. From NLC to LP to ACN he's demonstrated his ability to build consensus, compromise and work with people he previously fought against.
-Oshiomhole is a charismatic incumbent governor with a serious public goodwill advantage, even GEJ can't oppose him too harshly in public.
-Did I say PDP overplayed their hands last time they governed?

All these plus more makes me wonder why PDP would think they can win the election via intimidation, It makes no sense, it will lead to unnecessary killings like the one we just saw. And they will most cetainly still lose.

I'm not convinced PDP killed the guy, makes no sense to cause chaos knowing you'll still lose, except you are a pea brain fool with too much Ogogoro in your blood.

I don't understand what the killers aimed to achieve. Makes no damn sense.

Some people don't need a reason to do things, they just want to see the world burn. You forget that Soyinka once called them a den of killers

“I want to serve them notice. I have the capacity and the men. If they do not behave, we can stop them from coming to Edo State.

I LIKE THAT SENTENCE. PLEASE EDO ACN SHOULD FIGHT BACK , IT IS WAR FOR WAR FOR THIS PDP PEOPLE .

some ppl just think like animal.hw can sum1 say oshiomole killed olaitan?Better b careful.

Oluwolympa: some ppl just think like animal.hw can sum1 say oshiomole killed olaitan?Better b careful.

so what else could kill 3 journalists who visited the government house and the governor's secretary within 3 days?
They have seen what they shouldn't.

State Police; is a legitimate demand. GEJ please let the States have State Police and the Nigerian Police can be Federal Police as always.

It's obvious from this thread that Nigerians just don't know what to believe anymore.
They are slowly achieving their aim of making us paranoid zombies.

Most times Nigerian politics defies conventional reasoning. It could be PDP or ACN. RIP to the dead.

some people's comments here makes me wonder, if they reason at all. Why will osho kill his right hand man in struggle? Before acn, they have been together. Osho is never afraid of the election, he knows he will win, he has the people's mandate whole heartedly, so why does he need their sympathy? Only a drunkard will even believe Gej sponsored dat independence bombing, why does he need Nigerian's sympathy, that period, he was even begged to contest the 2011 election. People reason critically before posting any comment. No wonder some people say na jambites full NL.

I weep for Nigeria.

most narialanders speak out the bitterness in their heart because of political and ethnic prejudice that have almost crippled development in this country, why don't we stop playing politics here and face the truth squarely. just as oshiomhole blamed PDP for the death of that young man because it was an opposition Party to ACN, any other person could have thrown back the blame on him too based on other odd things we know about politicians here in Nigeria, whether the man is killed by PDP or Oshiomhole himself for reasons not well defined, either of this is possible in Nigeria.

Abali1: Most times Nigerian politics defies conventional reasoning. It could be PDP or ACN. RIP to the dead.

its a lie, how una dy reason, like zombie? Where have heard acn killing people before. History have it of how pdp has been a nest of killers. Edo state where a whole evil grand master tony anene is from, can't deliver edo to his party. What do expect him to do? Kill of course. They know our police are helpless. But logically you will know, who is behind this killings.
