Where were the 4000 youths employed? Certainly not in Edo state
You haven't seen them doesn't mean they don't exist. I know so many people employed working for SEEFOR by him. Don't say what you don't know.

Besides, our people are learned sha. I'm proud of my town, Igarra.

Dem for Kuku mah build airport for Aso Rock since this goat does not use the roads from Aso rock to the Nnamdi Azikiwe airport but relies on helicopters to hop a journey less than 30km.

You get sense sohuh You know what it means for a Nigerian President to pass through a road? Don't you know the roads would be blocked, thereby causing 'go-slow' abi 'holdup'? If he does that, wouldn't you be here complaining? He's using the jet because he doesn't wanna obstruct anybody.

you even get strength to dey reply that Ozuo. What does he know about Edo state and Edo people? I'm a pure Edo man and I know those guys were from Edo North and Akoko Edo tool be precise.
Ordinarily, I should have just ignored them. But I can't just watch them sell my brothers to the Yorubas and the Nupes. That's how most of them always accuse me of being a Yoruba guy because I'm not sympathetic to them.

Both Taiwo Akerele and John Mayaki are from the same ward (001) in Akoko Edo. They're from Igarra (my town) the headquarters of Akoko Edo.

Yoruba man as Chief of Staff
Me don tire to dey tell una o...Taiwo Akerele is from Igarra, the headquarters of Akoko Edo LGA, Edo State. He's not a Yoruba man. Though we bear Yoruba names here. After our native Igarra language, Yoruba is the most spoken language here and the entire Akoko Edo.

Chai. Make una dey ask question na. One guy just accused Tinubu of making Taiye Akerele the CoS simply because he bears a Yoruba name. Just like the CoS, Taiwo Akerele, the Chief Press Secretary, John Mayaki is from Igarra in Akoko Edo LGA of Edo State. He's even a son of a high chief here.

I have no problem with Obaseki appointing a Yoruba man but appointing him the chief of staff, come on.
The Chief of staff is like the Governor's "gateman" he controls who sees the governor.
That appointment was made straight from Bourdillon road.
If I should insult you now, Mynd44 would ban me as usual.

Do you honestly think what you wrote up there makes any sense? Taiwo Akerele and John Mayaki are both from Igarra, the headquarters of Akoko Edo LGA, Edo State. What makes him a Yoruba man? So as an Igarra man, if I'm contesting for any seat in Edo State, you'd call me a Yoruba man? Abeg try dey use your drugs as prescribed by the physician.

The newly sworn-in Governor of Edo State, Mr Godwin Obaseki has appointed Mr Taiwo Francis Akerele as his Chief of Staff.

Details later...

Congrats to the good people of Igarra and Akoko Edo in general
He has hit the ground running.

Full details

https://i0.wp.com/media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2016/11/Obaseki.jpg?zoom=2&fit=600%2C337

Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo on Monday in Benin announced the appointment of Osarodion Ogie as the Secretary to the State Government.

Also appointed were Taiwo Akerele as Chief of Staff and John Mayaki as interim Chief Press Secretary.

Mr. Obaseki had before making the announcement, met with the state Head of Service and Permanent Secretaries.

He directed the permanent secretaries to take full charge of the affairs of their ministries, pending appointment of commissioners.

The governor solicited for maximum cooperation from the civil service to enable him discharge his mandate effectively.

He expressed confidence in the civil service, and pledged that his administration would build a more stronger, vibrant, trusted, competent and reliable workforce to meet the challenges ahead.

“I have no doubt about the capacity of the civil service, but we will also need to clear the clog on the wheel of progress,” he added.

The governor said the administration would re-evaluate the recruitment process into the service to ensure that merit and objectivity were not compromised.

PoliticsRe: Reno Denies Accusing President Buhari Of Part-funding Hillary Clinton’s Campaign by donphilopus:
So where did that lie emanate from? It's so painful that most people who are still traumatized over the election loss of Jonathan have chosen to remain foolish. If not foolishness, no sane fellow would believe that lies.

The first place I saw the accusation was on facebook. After they accused Buhari of sponsoring Clinton's campaign with about $500m, they asked them to bring a proof to substantiate their claim. They uploaded a video of CNN (which I didn't bother to download because of the comments I read) where they said a Nigerian by the name 'Shellharry' (whatever that means) sponsored her campaign with $5m (according to people who watched it). Nowhere in that video was Buhari's name nor $500m mentioned.

Even after some people who were supporting those who accused Buhari of supporting the campaign with $500m watched the video, they still chose to believe that he indeed did so. How can one be more foolish than that!

It's so painful that I can no longer find that post on facebook. I would have uploaded it here to debunk their lies.

It is better you consider altering that arrangement though if you have any ambition of occupying the government house in Benin.

Being the dominant tribe, Benin person will still want to succeed Obaseki even after 8years. The Esans may not see anything for the next 16 years.

Thanks for the encouragement, I'm relying on massive support on this forum when the time comes.

As for party, Time will tell
No o..I don't think Edo people are that overambitious. Though the good people of Edo North might dig it out with an Esanman in 2024 but I don't think a Benin man would re contest. It would be solely between the Esans and the Afemai.

They may say I'm too young to seek for the Gubernatorial seat of our State come 2024 though. That's why I'm considering HoR before then (if money show sha cheesy).

However, latest 2023, Politics Section should be able to produce at least 5 House of Reps members and 10 House of Assembly members.

I also have the ambition to succeed Governor Nyesom Wike in 2023. But for now, I am pursuing a seat in HOR in 2019.
Wow. The Nairaland family will support you. Party aside, it won't be a bad idea to have some of our own in the States and National Assembly.

Succeeding Obaseki would be hard for people from our axis though. After Obaseki (or POI as the case may be), an Esan man is gonna be there. If they fail in their first term, we (Edo North) are taking over.
