Unigrad:
My mind told me before now that he might quit politics at his second term. He is not a politician. From his speech, during the campaigns, he talked less. I pray you continue your tenure successful. The first Edo State governor to maintain payment of workers salaries at when due, there was no strike.
When they asked him on arise TV if he wants to become a senator. He said no. He said he wants to teach.....lol

Dude no sabi play politics sef. Oshiomole pushed him too much to the wall. He only fought back when he had no place to go

A gift is something given to another voluntarily. Or something gained accidentally, without effort. Doesn't this describe how PDP got Obaseki, hence Edo state?
If you mean the defection then you're right in a way. The APC rejected Obaseki and the PDP took him in and Edo people gifted him and the PDP an extra 4 years to pilot Edo affairs

PoliticsRe: Governor Obaseki Has Changed The Name Of The University In Oshiomhole's Village by Daum: 9:35pm On Sep 22, 2020
That University was built with Edo money. That university is just bearing Edo University, but most of the funds go to Oshiomole. The university was the first cause of the crisis.

Edo's don't know the true state of the university. There are so many mystery surrounding the ownership and people kept asking Obaseki. When Obaseki dared question Oshiomole about it, wahala started.

So it's a good thing he has done. Renaming it is a step to tell us it is Public university
PoliticsRe: Obaseki, Supporters Party In Benin Streets by Daum: 11:14am On Sep 22, 2020
Obaseki was a movement that brought everyone out. Everyone, I mean Everyone. My sister for the first time in her life went out to vote. My dad and mom quarreled because she accused my dad of misplacing her PVC. She said if Obaseki looses, she won't be happy.


That Tinubu video was a nail. The average Edo man is proud. Very proud. How can somebody in Lagos just be poking nose in Edo business. It was an insult. If you live in Benin, you will know that the Benins are so proud. The election was Edo people vs whoever was against them.

PoliticsThe Diaspora And Obasekis Victory by Daum(op): 8:43am On Sep 22, 2020
As an Edo indigine, I have seen various commentaries talking about various factors that led to the victory of Obaseki on the 19th of September. However, very few have spoken about the role the Diaspora played.

The very first prominent group to support Obaseki for reelection bid were our Edo brothers and sisters abroad. It is no doubt that Edo state has a very large diaspora family in Europe, from Italy to France and Spain and many other European countries. Another community is also in Canada. This various communities all supported Obaseki. This was the very first time in Edo history were people abroad took charge of the electoral process. Before the campaign started, we were seeing campaigns of Edo people in Europe on social media. They printed their own T-shirts and caps. They campaigned in various places. They even appointed someone in Benin to be in charge of their campaign and they channeled all the funds to him in Benin. You could see their bill boards everywhere in Benin. One group was reported to send #15 million naira at the beginning of the campaign.

For people outside, many would wonder why were they involved so much even when they weren't going to vote anyways. The answer is simple, Land reforms. During he the first quarter of Obaseki government, HRM Oba of Benin made a pronouncement banning a group called community development association (CDA). These groups were a group of people mainly youths who sold community lands at high prices for individuals and charged various sums for an individual to start buildings. They're wat people in Lagos call Omonile. They could even sell one land to 3 different people. Most Edo people abroad were the ones who suffered the most from this. Because they were abroad, if they bought lands in Benin, before they came back, these CDA would sell their lands out again. Even the police could not stop their menance. So when the Oba made a pronouncement about it, they were quickly targeted. One of the CDA chairmen wanted to defy the order of the Oba of Benin, they called him Ebo of Amagba. He was the wealthiest of the various CDA chairmen. The Oba brought him to the palace and he was punished. The chairman was made to sweep the palace ground every morning for days. Immediately, Obaseki galvanized the House of Assembly and It was signed into law and CDA was abolished and made a criminal act.

This very act brought peace to land owners and prospective ones. The Diaspora loved this act. They fell in love with agbero abolition in Benin because most of these people in diaspora had their relatives as bus drivers and market women. These government policies won their hearts.

When the Diaspora groups drummed support for Obaseki, the APC took them for granted. They came on TV and said that they were inconsequential to the Edo election. They said their voice doesn't matter because they're not on ground to vote for their candidates. They publicly took that group for granted believing Oshiomole would do magic for them.

The reality was that the Edo people at home, had at least one family member in the Diaspora. The APC forgot that these people abroad regularly sent at least $70 to their family members for their up keep. They forgot that these people abroad were the ones majorly building houses and buying properties in Benin. They were the ones sending buses from Europe to Benin for transport. The APC looked down on them. If I feed you, and housed you, to a very large extent I will control you. The people in diaspora literally told their family members to vote PDP and the local APC here acknowledged it. They told the media that you had people who came to vote and they said that their brother abroad told them to vote PDP.

I think more Nigerians abroad should participate in the electoral process. The Jews abroad are very influential in the survival of the Jewish state. Don't see it that since you're outside the country, you have no stake, you do. Your voices can change the outcome. And I hope that someday the Diaspora can be able to vote in our local elections.

How does APC expect to win Edo, with this sort of "in-house Mole and Saboteur"?
In less than 24hrs of the Party's loss, he is already showing his "prostitute" nature in antici[ation of running to the PDP! shocked grin



Sharrap dea my friend, you are one of the Saboteurs left behind in APC, by Obaseki, that made APC lose the election.
You were probably working for Obaseki while still calling yourself APC, get out, the party does not need people like you.
PDP has been in opposition since 2015 and they did not all run to APC.





Hahahhaa! grin
Any fool can PREDICT the RESULT, after the OUTCOME of the election!
Why did yo not say all these before the election?

Even if they call you 'anti-party', at least it will be on record and the election result will now justify your position. undecided
But all these your noise AFTER the result has been declared shows that you are an unstable, hypocritical and untrustworthy humanbeing.






STFU, Barrister Anslem Ojezua! If you knew all these, you should have resigned your membership of APC, joined the PDP instead of whinning now.
Would you have said all these rubbish, if the PAC had won the election?
Would you not have been telling us about how Oshiomole's decision lead to the party winning the state back?

Honestly, the APC needs to send you packing right away because you are a liability to the party. Did you, as Party Chairman, win your state or Local Govt ot Ward for your Party?
You are a bigger failure compared to Oshiomole because when Oshiomole was APC National Chairman, the party won a National election TWICE.






Shameless, "come-and-chop" Politician, why did you not RESIGN YOUR MEMBERSHIP from the party, in the last 15-18months, to prove that you really are against what was going-on?
Why wait until you failed to deliver for your party and you now want an escape-route to join the winners in PDP and curry favor from Obaseki?
Just one loss, he is whinning in less than 24hrs. grin grin




Abeg, dont mind this one who calles himself a Barristr Anslem Ojezua, the guy is a sore looser, a saboteur within the APC and a come-and-chop Politician. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
APC will rise again, Oshiomole is going nowhere and he would still rise-up again, from this disappointment,
We all know that Buhari has a hand in all these current APC problems, as he does not want the APC to be in a position to win in 2023 (with a Southern APC Presidential Candidate), so that the North can have another EIGHT YEARS of disaster, like the current one, with a Northerner as President, from PDP.
Oshiomole and Ize iyamu does not recognize him as chairman. The chairman they recognized is from my Local govt. His name is Col. Imuse and PDP beat him very well in our local government with a 10,000 margin.

We are going to retire him and destroy Ize iyamu.

We no be cowards here

Oshiomhole is so respected by the etsako as the son of the soil even though APC is not doing well at the federal level.

He is the most popular and most respected political figure around there.

The etsako have one voice on this one.

Obaseki neglected them in his first four years and they are not happy about it.

If you are familiar with the region mention one obasike project around the region. APC don't need to rig. Etsako are angry with obasike.
It was only 4 years. What else do the Etsakos want. They had their son there for 8 years. They now another of their son as deputy governor. What else do they want. Are they the only local government in Edo. They should calm down.....and please I know Obaseki constructed some roads there. In Auchi and Agbede. There are other projects I don't know of.

Did you read only Izoduwa fiction coined in the 1970s by strange elements who aren’t even historians to begin with; or did you expanded your horizons to what historians have to say about that fiction?
The old man who told me about Izoduwa is dead now. He barely spoke pidgin. He was not formally educated. He told me this story in a village called Evboesi in Ohrionmwon. Evboesi is more closer to Abraka in Delta state than it is to Benin city. So this old man never read any history books and there was no press conference way back in 70s. These were folklores that were passed down from father to children.


Whatever Europeans wrote about us was what they heard from us or observed when they came to us. But it doesn't change the fact that they still can't know the history of our people better than us.

I have read history books at the University Library in Uniben and the one in Sapele road. I have read so many online materials also.

please stop the misinterprets if am wrong with that am sure another Benin person will correct me.

for the other one

Ovbi Oodua n Oba N uhe_Son of oodua the king of uhe (ife). this is so because it was izoduwa who was on the when the binis came to uhe and izoduwa in Benin is regarded as a god just like every other gods and in Benin god is also called oodua that is how the appellation came to be.

My greatest concern in all this is that Benin and Yoruba may had business and trade in the past but that does not make Benin to be Yoruba because Benin is even other than the said Yoruba.
