I’ve endured so much, cannot continue to be governor and not function as one
Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki revealed the painful experiences he has supposedly been suffering from the hands of his Adams Oshiomhole.

This was as Obaseki said that as governor, he was denied the opportunity to even nominate a single person for a federal appointment and vowed he will never again, accept a situation in which as a governor he cannot function as one.

He did not directly mention the name of the name of Oshiomhole, however indications showed he was referring to no other than Oshiomhole.

Obaseki bared his mind on worrying issues in Edo State when he spoke with members of the Benin community resident in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), at Edo State Lodge, Abuja,

Governor Obaseki, went further to say that as long as he remains Edo governor, he will not allow the state to be used as a mere pawn in a political game by any highly placed politician.

An apparent tussle of who controls the state House of Assembly between the two, is believed to have been the cause of the crisis rocking the state assembly.

Speaking with the group that was led by Dickson Omoregie, Obaseki explained that he had promised during his campaign to help develop the state.

“I did this silently behind the scenes for eight years before I became governor.

“The money we are getting from Abuja isn’t enough. So, given my background, I sought to bring investors so that they can engage our people.

“I have gone to great lengths to try to explain; it is about reform to change Edo from what it is to what we hope and pray for it to be.

“I don’t have any future political ambition, but only to finish by the grace of God and go back to my business which is suffering. I didn’t come to make money at Government House, I didn’t come to make a name. By the grace of God, He has given me one.

“Edo is for Edo people, not for individuals, no matter who they think they are, we all will play our own roles and leave, what will remain is our state.

“I have endured so much as governor. As governor, I have not been able to even nominate somebody for a federal appointment. Meanwhile, federal appointments are made every day, I will sit down they will call me from the Senate. Are you aware of this? I keep quiet; I cannot be governor and not be governor,” he said.

Adding that all his actions had been in the best interest of the people, he described the political crisis in the state as “an embarrassment”.

According to him, it was embarrassing for people to be ridiculing him when “at the centre, we have one of our own person who is supposed to superintend this”.

He added, “So, if your children are fighting and you cannot come and settle them then what authority do you have to even be a father?”

Decrying how he conducted elections in the state and someone came and canceled them and selected those he wanted, Obaseki said that but for his patience, Edo state would have gone the way of Zamfara State where the party lost every elective position during the last elections.

“How can I as governor conduct elections and someone will come and cancel them and be manipulating and throwing all sorts of people in there and now wants to use the people to fight me and remove me from office, and you want me to keep quiet?

“So, I have said it that at the end of the day, I only have one mandate to serve Edo people and as long as God has given me this opportunity, I will not allow Edo State to be a pawn in anybody’s political chess game,” he said.

#EDO2020: OKOROCHA HAILS EDO PEOPLE FOR VOTING AGAINST INJUSTICE

When I saw Adams Oshiomole with Hope Uzodimma Leading the campaign I knew there will be no victory for APC- Rochas said
The President, Rochas Foundation International and former Governor of IMO State, Senator Rochas Okorocha has congratulated the people of EDO for standing firmly against oppression by the dissolved executive council of the APC which led to the defection of Governor Obaseki to another party.

Okorocha insisted that some politicians have taken advantage of PMB’s honesty and patriotism to perpetuate unprovoked chaos and confusion in the party by neglecting the founding fathers of the APC stressing that he had forewarned of the catastrophe that might plaque the party urging Mr President to step-in to avert the total collapse of the APC.

He said;”It is not only PDP members that voted for Obaseki even APC members also voted for him.EDO people did not vote for APC or PDP,they voted against injustice. Edo people are not docile. They voted for justice to be done in EDO state”.

Friend22:
People should stop giving this man the undeserved attention he seems to be getting.
The major factor that made AOC lose this election was Oshiomole.
No body knows Wike in Edo state.
What I mean is even a million Wikes can't spur people to vote in Edo state.

He is just using media hype to his advantage nothing else.

Which one do you support

"Amazing Kid Eche" smashes football freestyling record at just 12 years old
"Amazing Kid Eche" smashes football freestyling record at just 12 years old
"Amazing Kid Eche", aka Eche Chinonso, is a 12-year-old football freestyle prodigy from Delta State, Nigeria.

It became clear that Eche had a talent when he was just five years old, so his father began taking him to the field to practice regularly.
In order to reach a record breaking standard, Eche finds time to practice every single morning before school, when he often completes over 2000 touches!

When the school day comes to an end, Eche heads to the field to play football with his classmates.

Eche set his sights on attempting the Guinness World Records title for the most consecutive football (soccer) touches in one minute while balancing a football on the head to prove to other young Nigerians that anything is possible through self-belief and dedication.

At the age of eight, Eche began putting in more time to develop and perfect his freestyling skills after being inspired by videos of world famous footballers
He achieved the title on the 14th November 2019, with an impressive 111 touches; receiving recognition from FIFA and earning himself a spot in the Guinness World Records book.

Eche’s favourite trick to perform still involves juggling a ball while balancing another one on his head, in the knowledge that he still remains the very best in the world at doing so.
However, he has his sights set on quite a few more Guinness World Records titles in future so watch this space!

Earning his place on the pages of Guinness World Records 2021 has made Eche the “happiest person in the world” and he hopes it will make his family and other Nigerians proud.

I Discovered Banana Island – Kiddwaya’s Dad Reveals

Nigerian socialite and billionaire businessman, Terry Waya, father of BBNaija recently evicted housemate, Kiddwaya, has disclosed that he played a pivotal role in the development of Banana Island; a luxury man-made Island in Lagos, Nigeria commercial capital.

In an interview with BBC Pidgin, Mr. Waya revealed that he was not born into wealth but however luck shone on him during the Military regime of Ibrahim Babandiga, when he (Mr. Waya) was given the contract to develop the luxury Banana Island.

Banana Island is a man-made Island which covers close to 1,630,000 square metres and is divided into 536 plots.


The Lebanese-Nigerian Chagoury Group in partnership with the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing developed the space.

Mr. Terry Waya claimed he was given the job to develop the area before he handed over the contract to Chagoury to do the job.

He further explained that the then minister of works, General Adisa gave him the opportunity to be part of the Banana Island project, which he (Mr. Waya) contacted the Chagoury brothers and that gave birth to the luxury Banana Island.

Millions of Naira.. with a little marging close to a billion, reportedly discovered in hideout 6-yrs after it was looted, but already rotten

WiLdFLame:
Obaseki has committed an impeachable offense , a gross misconduct. How can you make 7 Members of the State Assembly greater than 24? If every governor should act like Obaseki , Nigeria will be more shithole than anyone could ever think of .

Who is Obaseki? Who made you governor in the first place? I hate betrayers and disloyalties. go and ask Saraki, go and ask Tambuwal go and ask Kwankaso go and ask Jonathan. Tinubu rarely talk but when he does you’d better start packing. Obaseki is a live example of why you shouldn’t trust a bastard with power....he’s a pig he will fall back to his deep dirt back again.

National Leader of the All Progressives Congress leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has appealed to Edo voters to reject Governor Godwin Obaseki on Saturday.

He said the Governor doesn’t deserve a single vote for non-performance and violation of democratic values.
Tinubu, in a sponsored broadcast on TVC on Tuesday, said: “He (Obaseki) does not deserve any democratic ballot paper. Don’t vote for him, I appeal to all of you.”

The APC leader said while he was taking part in the democratic struggle in the 1990s, Obaseki was nowhere to be found, which explains Obaseki’s inability to appreciate democratic institutions.

“I want to appeal to you to reject Godwin Obaseki in this coming election. I have suffered with many others to bring about this democratic regime, that today, we are enjoying in the country. Then, Godwin Obaseki didn’t participate in any aspect of the struggle to enshrine democracy in the country.
“Therefore, he could not understand the value and the pains associated with this democratic struggle,” Tinubu began.

The former governor of Lagos State said Obaseki prevented 14 of the 24 elected Edo lawmakers from being inaugurated.

He said Obaseki refused to take the advice of the National Assembly and the Attorney-General of the Federation to let the 14 members of the House of Assembly be inaugurated.
For these and more, he said the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) candidate should be punished with vote rejection.

The APC chieftain added: “He demonstrated the act of dictatorship, lack of respect for rule of law, lack of respect for you the people who voted for those legislators prevented from being sworn-in. Today, he now comes back as a democrat wanting you to vote for him. Please, I appeal to you, reject him.

“Several institutions and leaders of our country appealed to him to respect constitutional democracy but he rejected all entreaties. He rejected the appeal of the National Assembly.”

Tinubu said rather than let them be inaugurated, Obaseki supervised the destruction of the House of Assembly complex to prevent them from being sworn-in. read more below
