There appears to be an uneasy calm as President Muhammadu Buhari has given marching orders to Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to return Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki as the APC candidate in the forthcoming election.

Oshiomhole who met with Buhari yesterday evening was reportedly told frankly that Godwin Obaseki should be allowed to continue his good works in office.
According to insiders, Buhari’s decision was informed by the various security reports which favours Mr. Godwin Obaseki far ahead of the other aspirants jostling for the ticket with him. Some close associates of the President were also said to have mounted pressure on him to impress his preference on the APC Chairman to avoid any repeat of the “Zamfara treatment” in the Edo election.

Sources close to the Presidential Villa further revealed that the Presidential directive did not go down well with Mr. Oshiomhole as all the complaints he brought against Obaseki were rebuffed by the President.
Eyewitnesses say Oshiomhole was seen leaving the meeting in low spirits and refusing to acknowledge salutation from anyone.
Political strategists observing the development say there’s little Oshiomhole can do against the emergence of Governor Obaseki as he must not be seen violating the wish of the Commander-in-Chief. They however cautioned that the Obaseki camp must not think it is yet Uhuru as future political landmine might be planted on the way for them.

Since Ambode finished his 4 year term. He has been missing in action. No political appointments followed or juicy political spoils. Rather one by one his policies are being reversed by his successor.

Where is Ambode?

Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State, Monday, made a submission that the major cause of the crisis in the state was the All Progressives Congress, APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole.

Obaseki made this statement while speaking with journalists in Abuja shortly after his meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa.

The visit is coming ahead of the All Progressives Congress, APC governorship primary in the state.

In his words, Obaseki said, “Well, I believe having been governor of the state for three years and the jury’s out, you can check with Edo people whether as governor I have served credibly.

“The general consensus is that we have done well as a government and that people would like us to continue with the laudable programs and policies which we have been taking over in the last three years.

“The problem in Edo is not from within Edo, it is from outside. So I don’t see the person I am competing or contesting against he’s not in Edo, he is Abuja.

“It is unfortunate, the position he (Adams Oshiomhole) has taken I believe that he was misguided, well not properly guided and as governor, his governor, it is my responsibility to seek peace for my state and with all my citizens.

“I will continue to strive for peace, I’ll continue to pursue peace, seek and interest of our people. I’m open, I will always call that we should talk about how to move things forward. We cannot turn back the hands of the clock. So, there are certain things we just must accept and see how we can move forward.”

Ijaw is Biafra
Biafra : Nnamdi Kanu, Ankio Briggs and Asari Dokubo All Agreed That Ijaw Is Biafra.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wrote this on his Social Media handles after Ankio Briggs public post :

HISTORY NEVER LIE

“It is true and a fact that many riverine people across the breadth and length of Kalabari kingdom have Igbo lineage, I cannot tell another person’s story for them without their permission and l will never allow another person to tell my story either". AnnKio-Briggs Thursday 28 May 2020, Vanguard newspapers

Thank you ma'am for publicly acknowledging, especially at this auspicious moment that Ijaw, Opobo, Bonny and the rest of the badly labeled South South/Niger-Delta people HAVE Igbo lineage.

By lineage it means we are ALL related by blood. This was the point I set out to establish when I started this debate. I am grateful for this clarification. Sometimes having a healthy debate is good for us. This is how our new Biafra will be.- Nnamdi Kanu wrote.

He also reacts to Asari Dokubo by saying this:

"Consistency | Discipline | Application
The three articles of gold, that certifies the purity of a true liberator. IPOB is consistent, disciplined and applied, we do not change, never, ever, ever!

Only Biafra can save Niger-Delta, today, tomorrow & forever more. Truth is godliness." - Nnamdi Kanu writes after Asari Dokubo said that anyone who doesn't support Biafra is traitor.

Ebullience:
Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki says he is confident of returning to power as first man of the state because “power comes from God.”

The governor who disclosed this on Wednesday, in an interview on Channels Television breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, noted that he is a man of peace, not an violent person.

“I am not a violent person. But I am confident that the way I got into power is the same way I will return.

“God gave me power. If he wants me to return I will continue. No man can stop me. Power comes from God,” he said.

Obaseki speaking concerning violence during election said he has always canvassed for peace and believes election should not lead to bloodshed.

The governor who also spoke concerning the political rift within his party the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, stated that he is not distracted, adding that his focus is on developing Edo State.

“We have always canvassed for peace. What are the issues in Edo and what are the issues that cannot be resolved in a democracy. Our concern is to use the resources of the people to develop the state.

“This shouldn’t lead to bloodshed. We will not accept to be cowed and intimidated because some people think that they can manipulate rules and cut corners,” he added.

When asked if it’s not the resources of the people of Edo State that was used for him to become the governor, Obaseki said, “I have friends with resources. I worked for eight years behind the scene before I became governor.

“So all that insinuations about using somebody’s resources…I became Governor on the platform of the party and I am grateful for it.”

He expressed confidence that the rule of law will prevail in the forthcoming Edo State election because he is sure that Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari believes in the rule of law and will allow things to be done openly.

Obaseki further noted that he is not in contest with anyone, stressing that he is confident of victory.

“It does not matter whether it is direct or indirect (primaries), I will win,” he said.

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the ruling APC, currently led by the National Chairman of the party and former governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole had earlier on May 22 announced its decision to adopt direct primary for the coming governorship primaries in Edo State scheduled to hold on June 22.
