I don't even understand you in the first place, wait o, shey na 9ja politics you wan dey put for head? D one wey happen for IMO STATE no reach you understand wetin go fit happen?

SATANIIST:
all the looted funds where recovered from pdp

And relooted by them under your watchful eyes!

Confirmedzombie:
The social media comments led to obasike downfall. To set the records straight, obasike is not a politician, the stakeholders who are grassroots politicians in Edo state are not with him.

The people supporting obasike at the deal day (Election) will all be caged. No one will stake his life for obasike.

Elections in Nigeria is a do or die something. Without the help of security agencies, obasike and those supporting him cant operate.

As it stands, APC will deploy all Arsenal during the election to remain in power in Edo state.

No amount of money spent by obasike can return him as a governor. Anyone who loves obasike will simply advice him to take a bow and let go politics.

Elections are not won on social media. If you watch well, osho has been silent all through the fight with obasike , I guess action speaks louder than voice.

Did Amaechi who decamped from PDP to APC win Rivers state for peterside, Wike deployed all Arsernal using federal might to defeat Amaexhi.

To me, obasike lacks the political will to frustrate APC. People are just pushing the man to destruction.

APC wont fold her hands and allow obasike frustrate them. Politics is a dirty game.
My opinion though

Between the so called party stake holders and the electorate who should the governor's responsibility be to?

Oshiomole told us he was a technocrat and his job specifications were clearly spelt out. The dirty part of delivering money and positions to the chairman and party people were not informed to the electorate. As a technocrat he does his job of improving his state. Politicians frustrate growth and development. We need professionals in politics and not professional politicians.

And do you think that Obaseki/Shuaibu will fold their hands and watch themselves walk into political oblivion? APC will get a run for their money brother.

Do not contradict yourself. You talked about Amaechi/Wike. The same scenario plays out here with Oshiomole trying to stop Obaseki. If Oshimole retired Anenih according to him who says Obaseki cannot retire him?

osothermal:
With 2 out of 3 senators? Use your brain man

And potentially a sitting and very determined governor. Akume and Akpabio did their worst but were crushed. Obaseki may be a political novice but he learnt on the job. See it is clear that Oshiomole is on the side of party men and not the people.

If PDP put their acts together they should win.
Oshiomole chased the so called thugs away in his time. How is it now that APC relies on thugs and security people to win elections? What an irony.

joeking2222:
If Obaseki likes, make he win all the polls in Nigeria, Supreme court cabals sit down dey wait am. All i believe about this stuff is, the script of this movie has already been written longtime ago wen he dey follow oshiomole dey drag shoulder. So, you wan tell me say oshiomole and his APC people no know say Obaseki go run enter PDP to challenge them abi? Don't forget we are still in a country called Nigeria. Am not a politician, neither do i do politics, but if you study 9ja politics well well, you will know a man like Obaseki no suppose take up this fight in the first place. I wish the man well in all his future endeavors. E just dey pain me for the man say, he has to learn in a very hard and painful way.

And what will happen if he joins PDP and presents only his school certificate?

ozento:
the court will still disqualify him even if he wins through pdp. thats the calculation. oshomole is a formidable enemy. the only option is to sopot any pdp candidate against apc.

b

A formidable enemy but when confronted by powers bigger than him in the APC this year he capitulated and begged to retain his position as national chairman. As for Edo state APC shot themselves in the foot!

When Adams Oshiomole presented Obaseki to the people of Edo state as the APC governorship candidate for election of 2016, he said he had no doubt that he was leaving the state in the safe hands of who he called "a technocrat" and a worthy successor to take over leadership from him. Obaseki won the election and not too long after things fell apart between the two of them. They have remained as enemies until today with the disqualification of Obaseki from participating in the 2020 election that would have seen him serve Edo people again.

The reason given by the APC screening committee is "certificate discrepancies". Within this period Nigerians have been informed by the Oshiomole group in Edo state that the details contained in the educational certificates of Obaseki are incorrect. Some questions instantly come to mind:

1. Were those certificates not the same presented by Obaseki for the 2016 election?

2. Did the APC screening committee for the 2016 election not do a proper homework before presenting Obaseki as the party candidate?

3. What happened to the confirmation sent by Uniben to APC informing the party that Obaseki graduated from that university?

4. Why did APC fight PDP tooth and nail when this same certificate matter came up after the 2016 election?

5. Did APC plan a boobytrap for Obaseki as a way to protect the national chairman?

6. Considering that Oshiomole had practically labelled Ize Iyamu a thief, has APC in Edo changed their opinion of the man? Will he not be the next candidate?

7. Will the removal of Obaseki not pave the way for PDP to retake Edo state?

8. Will APC under Oshiomole ever be able to put their pre and post election acts together after their unforced errors in Rivers, Delta and Zamfara states?

9. Will Obaseki just sit and watch without working hard to defeat APC in the election this year?

10. Will this screening out not negatively impact the fortunes of APC this year?

Was it the airlines that closed the airports of the FG? The airlines have lost so much and are waiting to start off. Why this unnecessary lie after what they clearly told all Nigerians?

Meanwhile plenty of them have hypertension, diabetes, etc and possibly the can spread covid19. Nonsense greedy people.

HarunaWest:
Shut tha fvck up dude.. who yah calling young man?
Who told yah IRT carries I.D card about, or do you think SARS carries I.D card about..They were supposed to be covert. Ideally the police command is supposed to radio/signal all security formationsnd give headsup as regards OP Wadume.
That wasnt carried out.The least to have been done is to show a warrant,they didnt..Most Nigerian security operatives lack decorum. They feel they are super humans cos they armed.
Don't mention me again.

"Don't mention me again"? "Shut the Bleep up"? So uncouth. Clearly shows you are a very young man with plenty of inexperience. Only young people like you use wrong and insulting words in the name of speaking English. Change your ways please.

Next to the topic discussed. Did you follow the issue from the day of the incident? Did you read the evidences of some of the soldiers? The soldiers all stated that they knew those they shot were policemen.

The policemen on arriving at the village went straight to the police station and identified themselves along with their mission. Unfortunately the DCO was compromised just like the soldiers there. On their successful and peaceful arrest of Wadume, they proceeded to leave. The soldiers knew the bus approaching their checkpoint was carrying Wadume. Do not forget that the captain confessed that he was on Wadume's payroll. He gave the order to kill the policemen. That led to the outcry. What played out at the checkpoint was a script well played out by the foolish DCO who gave away his people and the captain. If the policemen were not carrying their IDs how did they identify themselves and explain their mission to the DCO?

When Fsars officials and indeed all policemen are on legitimate assignments, they carry their IDs. If not they have issues. When they are covert, their IDs are used to let people know who they are just incase their cover is exposed. Go and ask any policeman or security agent.

You contradicted yourself too. If there is a radio signal regarding their mission, how then is it secret? Think about it.

The man is showing the culture and traditions of the omoluabis. No need to complain. Only the people from that area can explain.

Caseless:
By this pronouncement, you just gave politicians the 'carte blanche' to go to their opponent's stronghold and disrupt election so as to reduce his number.
APC is still the party to beat.

APC is not the party to beat. They have been given the green light to create confusion if they find they are losing and wait for another day to continue.

trutht828:
Malami is not a Judge; he is a lawyer.

This shows that many of you commenting here don't even know what you are saying. You just talk with zero knowledge.

If someone who had finished secondary school doesn't know that the AGF is a lawyer, how can such a person become a leader of tomorrow?

All they know how to do is follow wrong comments and abuse people.

HarunaWest:
Why didnt they show their blaady I.D cards....Pride of Nigerian Security Personnel's tire me gan..They dont know anything other than to oppress people with weapons.

And you believe the soldiers who are facing accusations of murder, etc? Think properly young man. Police personnel on official assignments as it is well known always carry their IDs.

The soldiers are trying to evade justice. It is up to the IG to ensure that there is no cover up.

cjudy:
This one too na human being? Rotten Manna

But Fintiri is correct. It is said that who the God's want to destroy they first make them mad. APC is repeating the Zamfara, Rivers and Delta story in Edo. A high handed chairman who must have his way no matter the loss. PDP will surely retake the stake either through the ballot box or the Supreme Court. They know what to do. So Oshiomole continue battling Obaseki.

Well let's hope the matter changes.

oluwamile:
.this guy is the definition of a racist,how he became president sef,na only God know
,He talks too much a president,talks anyhow
How I wonder what time he use in thinking and planning for govt when all he does is to tweet everyday

Let's remove the log in our own eyes here first. Let the Americans face their matter. Our own here needs more serious attention.

Cheers.

Chaiiiii we don suffer.
How did we get to this point? Even the script would have been written for him. He would have ironed his agbada very well and starched it and prepared to speak one kind English. They said the land belongs to them.

Coke and panta!

Na wah.

Chaiiiii. Make we dey laugh dey go joh!
We already know what and what and what.
The story usually starts with factionalisation. Oshiomole backs one faction. Then there is the authentic chairman, secretariat, etc. INEC recognises the wrong faction. They faction(ally) get ready for two primaries. They go to court to clear which faction should be recognised by INEC. They scrutinize certificates and create faults. Finally they go to election. Ojoro(nically) win the election and get sworn in. Then they wait for the second half of the game i.e courts. The courts make their pronouncements.

Finally PDP claims the state back. They start to blame each other and plan Oshiomole's removal for highhandedness.
Examples are found in Delta state, Zamfara state, Rivers state and Bayelsa state.

PDP is surely waiting at the corner and they will take back their state.

Thecvbankng:
Good looking facilities and environment for learning. Hopefully the poor and those almajiri kids get to have access to good formal education than being used as a source of income.

Building fantastic school buildings is not what really troubles me. What troubles me is that the people will not go to school.

The people just want to wake up, file to the front house of one alhaji shouting rankadede sir for their food.

The big alhajis too enjoy exploiting them for money.

Binikingdowm:
nyamirri man no wonder your people are all over Edo state and nigeria selling gala and prostituting in all states.. don't forget their infamous baby factory business.

You people even take your criminal nature to other countries, foreigners can now differentiate between nigerians because of igbos and their drug business.

It's a known fact south east is a poor erosion ridden and the most poorest region in southern nigeria.

This forum is littered with pictures of the so called beauty of igboland, it's show inferiority complex and the funniest thing is south east isn't as potray by the media.

Even though the states are tiny, they are still mud houses everywhere and you people dare laugh at other regions..

You are stupidly celebrating bridges and ShopRite, why should Edo state need bridge? We aren't port Harcourt or Lagos that have huge vehicle and human population.

We've kada, Hallmark and many indigenous shopping complex, that's okay for us.

Keep celebrating flyovers and Bridges in a very poor locality.

The matter pain you too much.
Prostitution keh? There is only one headquarter in Nigeria. It is known worldwide...Benin. Infact the infection spread to the whole Edo state.

Criminal nature to the world. Na una na. Prostitution, drug to the whole of Africa and Europe.

Edo will not celebrate bridges now bros. They have spiritual bridges in their homes.

Baby factories? Many discovered in the entire Edo state. Children born from prostitution.

Hopefully Igbo matter will not make you injure yourself. Onitsha and Nnewi are far more industrialised than the whole of Edo state. You can check that fact.

Enjoy yasef.

So tay Niger state sef. Chai, we don suffer. Please which natural resources can one find there? A state with just one long road traversing the entire capital Minna.

SirMichael1:
Every topic on nairaland about snake has always meant the snake dies, get roasted and turned to a sumptous meal. Never for once has anyone done anything else with his or her snake than to chop, chop, chop and chop. Na wetin we sabi for naija be that. You see that python skin abi, if treated well, you'll get atleast five good leather shoes from it or if you want, belts. But no, stomach infrastruture. Make una dey live from hand to mouth without brains! Mtcheew!

So after taking out the skin to make shoes what happens to the rest? Will they be used to decorate the house? No let me take vex come your house to give you military slap.

mrvitalis:
A 1.6km bridge is the biggest project in the south east ..yet APC borrowed 22.5 billion and excluded south east and u have mouth to talk

Very catastrophic statement from an Igbo man. It is a shame that the Igbos have such people who continously publicly ridicle them and keep them at the mercy of their oppressors.

If that bridge is the biggest federal project from the APC government in 5 years of leadership then where is the hope of the Igbos?

In Lagos where Igbokwe holds a role in the waste management industry the Igbos suffer. Just go to Alaba market and see the state of the roads there. The local government generates billions from the Igbos there, yet the roads around there are in disgraceful states.

Rubbish.

Binikingdowm:
but do you know state allocation also plays a big role in development??!

Take cross river and akwa ibom for example, cross river was the most beautiful state and fastest developing state in Nigeria before their oil was ceded to akwa ibom, and now cross river is still where it is and it's growing slowly while akwa ibom is developing faster than any other states in nigeria.

Same thing can be said about Edo state and Delta, do you know how much Delta State receives compared to Edo State? It's like 6x the amount Edo state receives

Yes but also do not forget how the resources are managed. The states with the biggest resources are badly managed by those in charge. That's why our federal structure must be truly addressed.

OBJ for example clamoured for allocations to the local governments to be paid directly into their accounts, but the governors have continously rejected that. See if that ever happens and resources are well managed development can get faster.

donnie:
How can you compare? Asaba with just two roads?

Asaba just two roads? Sorry for you.

Dartilo:
Asaba is just like one local govt area in Benin...Benin city is almost five times the size of Asaba....so you don't expect dem to develop equally especially with this corrupt govt in Nigeria...

Check the allocation of the two state and you would see for yourself

The allocation for Delta state is bigger than the allocation for Edo state.

Chekwume16:
Is there anything in asaba to compare with Benin. I am from delta but asaba is just a glorified capital.

"Glorified capital". That means your town or village in Delta state is a tiny hamlet with plenty of huts. Tell us which town in Delta state aside from Warri that is as developed or getting speedy development than Asaba. Even neighbouring towns are fast developing because Asaba is the state capital. As a state capital there is a huge concentration of developmental projects going on there. It will remain like that even after the Igbo speaking governor leaves.

Igwe35:
OP must be a Benin man, cos from the look of things,he took time to take really good pictures of Benin, and rolled out 'anyhow' pictures of Asaba.

In my personal opinion, Asaba is way more beautiful than Benin.

See I think OP made a very unrealistic and needless comparison between Asaba and Benin. As you mentioned, I agree with you that OP must be a Benin man.

Let's ask first when the two cities became state capitals and which one deserves to be better developed. Benin was the state capital of the midwest and old Bendel state which covered Asaba as a village until Edo was created out of Bendel state and Asaba made the state capital of the newly formed Delta state, not more than 30 years ago.

Benin is a very historic city and it was not surprising that it became a state capital immediately at independence just like Lagos state. For me if OP needs to make a comparison it should be between Benin as capital of Edo state and Ikeja, the capital of Lagos state. Of course Ikeja is more developed than Benin.

Asaba is a growing state capital. If not for the wickedness of the past governors since the days of Kefas, Asaba should have been much more developed than it is. The same goes for the foolish underdevelopment of Benin by past military governments and politicians.

It is however refreshing to note that OP compares two cities and states with very rich culture and great traditional values.

Benin has a huge influence, as I call it, on the traditional institutions of a lot of towns in Edo and Delta states.

"Monkey dey work, baboon dey chop".

That is what has lately become the end of all the APC attempts to win elections. Rivers, Zamfara, Bayelsa states are there to see. They never learn.

After all the stress, wahala, money spending, political ojoros, APC leaves gapping holes that PDP exploits to get those positions. PDP apparently has more political suave people than APC.

I strongly believe that after all their efforts, PDP will recover their lost state.
