Their business. Na their own form of hustling be that.

��� Abi o. Somebody offered you money to resign. If he succeeds in his quest you profit. If he doesn’t succeed you have have profited. You have nothing to lose. You might even vote your conscience after collecting and resigning. No oaths taken. Even if so out of the money one hundred thousand can take care of that at the Church, Mosque or Babalawo’s shrine.

Simplyleo:
Lol.



Meaning Obaseki no do anything. That is why his major campaign point is "I don't have godfather".

Ask ipob lunatics what obaseki has done for the past 4 years, they will rather insult you down to your forefather than answer the simple question.

The lunatics have never supported anything good. That is why if you want to know the most useless politician vying for elective office, just check who the miscreants support.

If you are Edo and you made this comment then you are full of hatred in your head and your heart. If you are not, the Lagos media that is promoting Oshiomhole, godfather and mediocrity, is your only source of information. This , you know nothing about Edo State.
There is no governor, presently, in Nigeria, that has progressed his state as much as Godwin Obaseki of Edo. None. In three plus years, the state can count on , at least, two thousand projects that have been directly touched by his government. Your godfather, Oshiomhole, can only point to one building in the whole of Benin City in eight years as governor:the hollow hospital he left behind only to be manned and equipped by his successor. Now , go to Benin City and see how many more aesthetically pleasing and properly equipped world standard infrastructure are in place.
Obaseki has done very well and the people are appreciative and showing it on September 19.
The elites are aligning with the useless opposition because of political patronage that they no longer have access to in this government. However, like a pyramid, they are very few. The wide base at the bottom, the vast majority of the people, who fathered Governor’s impact more in their life, are with him.
Is there any state government that has brought electricity and a modular refinery EVER, in only about two years, to its people, in the history of Nigeria?
Go to Edo and see things for yourself

Yorubas voted online. In Edo State, where the election is taking place, the disparity in actual voting is closer to 90% for Obaseki over Ize-Iyamu. You cannot stop the impending defeat. Obaseki is a movement that will crush anyone or anything that is on the way. Edos are not going back to agbero and CDA era government. Never!

TheGodlessGod:
otooge can't work in Edo state because no single man controls the entire Edo state, that's why godfatherism in Edo state is impossible.

Oshiomole can't have a say in Benin or esan area same way an Esan man can't decide for owan or etsako people.

Otooge can't also work because oshiomole is 200x better than obaseki during his first tenure, obaseki only achievement is celebrating renovation of Secretariat out of the billions of naira Edo receives monthly.

You now understand why obaseki don't stand a chance against a real Benin son and Edo north bigwigs??

So, Obaseki is not a real Benin son? Na wa!. Anyway, your comment is self contradictory.
You can help by telling us how much Edo State receives every month and how they “fritter” it away.

Prince Kassim Afegbua, a chieftain of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) and former Commissioner for Information in Edo state has vowed to openly work against Governor Godwin Obaseki, the party’s candidate for the September 19 governorship election in Edo state.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Daily Independent, Afegbua who was one of the Spokesmen of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council in the 2019 general election also said he is not afraid of being suspended from the PDP as long as he speaking the truth and fighting for the interest of his people in Okpella.

While faulting the leadership of the party for ignoring loyal PDP members and endorsing Governor Obaseki who joined the party less than a month ago, Afegbua who accused Governor Obaseki of marginalizing his community also said he will work for Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who has promised to develop Okpella within six months of assuming office.

“My suspension won’t change the verdict of history. They cannot suspend my votes and those of my Okpella people who know me too well that I am not fighting for my pocket, but for the overall good of the community. If Okpella has beautiful roads, life would be less stressful to live”.

“Imagine the irony of our democracy, it is those who are less than two weeks old that are pushing my ward executives to suspend me. Isn’t that funny that those who just joined the party through the backdoor with plenty dollar rains, are those pushing for my suspension. I am so proud of an average Okpella person, the spirit of camaraderie and solidarity is profound this time. We cannot be fooled. We need roads, and other infrastructure”.

“Ize-Iyamu has told me the first six months in office, he will give immediate attention to our roads and schools. I believe him because he knows the workings of government. Since Governor Obaseki has failed, let us try another hand who will give us attention”.

“Suspension or no suspension, my position remains intact, that Okpella people will reject Obaseki at the polls. Any Okpella person still campaigning for Obaseki in the face of this neglect and abandonment should have himself properly examined”.

Also speaking on whether Governor Obaseki has performed well to merit another term in office, Afegbua said “Talking about performance, I am yet to see any legacy project. In four years, not a single hospital built. The General hospitals in the state that were initially renovated by the Oshiomhole administration have gone back to their old decrepit ways because of lack of use”.

“Doctors are fleeing Edo in droves, nurses are also leaving. Not a single Doctor has been recruited, ditto for nurses. Education is also a big minus because no teachers in schools. We used to come third in WASC and NECO exams, but now we are in the realm of 16th position. That’s unacceptable”.

“In Okpella where I come from, a Secondary School has been closed down because of lack of teachers. In most secondary schools in Edo, school teachers are in short supply, 4, 3, 5 teachers in an entire school. Just look at Edo flooding after rainfall. The drains in Benin City were due for desilting since March 2017, but the Governor is busy fighting political wars and abandoning governance. Benin is flooded every time there is rain. Look at the Ogbe stadium that he renovated”.

“A colossal N6b was used for that purpose. Half of that can build you a brand new stadium. So this is our predicament. We need to rally round Pastor Ize-Iyamu to restore political calm and peace. Let us bid Obaseki bye bye for now. We are tired of his combative style. Let’s try another hand in Ize-Iyamu and see what he will offer” he said.

How is he going to do it? He is actually playing tribal politics and that is the last thing that Edos want right now. Plus, he has absolutely no political value outside Okpella, his hometown.
Most people have already decided on who they will vote for. There are no independents to sway anymore.

Dansuqi:


How will obaseki victory benefit apc

They will learn to tamp down on godfathers and bring up a new crop of politicians not beholden to one man for political elevation in the society.

FlordFlorez:
It will shock him more than osho sef.

He knows the outcome already that’s why he is hoping for thuggery and federal intervention. If he was sure that the APC candidate could match Obaseki he wouldn’t advocate for subversion of the result.

Dansuqi:


He is not a politician and has no friends in APC.he is of no value to APC longterm,oshiomhole will always have more value than him.buhari hates pdp exceedingly,he should have defetlcted to another party.he does not have the kind of relationship obiano and umahi has with buhari...buhari has already ordered that Edo must be retrieved

���You don’t even know what is going on. Go and buy HBP drugs now. It is glaring that you are living in a fantasy world. You can’t even string stuff together. Oshiomhole was taken out for a reason. Obaseki consulted widely, with APC and PDP heavyweights before defecting. And, Santa-Olu was involved. He has learnt something. The APC ears that Buhari listen to are with Obaseki.

Dansuqi:


Which edo people? Edo people that are divided? If kogi people could not resist bello,is it edo that will? On election day,will you challenge a gun wielding security man? How many polling units can you cover?

My anger is not that you are arguing with me.my anger is that even after APC wins these two states,you will still come and argue with me again even when it is clear that APC will win

This is a very disturbing comment. I don’t know how old you are but, certainly, the future of the country is very bleak if the security agents and thuds are used to subvert the democratic process and you are okay with it. You even advocate for the subversion knowing fully that Edo State has gone PDP and will remain so after the gubernatorial election.
Let me, however, burst your bubble. The governor has friends in high places and up to the presidency. He is a Buhari supporter. And, like Obiano and Umahi, being in an opposition party doesn’t diminish their admiration for the president. You don’t discard your friends. Moreover, he was forced out of the APC by forces that are antithetical to the president’s agenda.
Take this to the bank and deposit into your account: landslide victory for Obaseki September 19, 2020!

Governor Obaseki does not speak like that. He is a very polished gentleman. He is not like your regular uncouth Nigerian politician. Even when angry his words are measured and his diction is second to none. Edos are lucky to have a technocrat as governor.

Futile effort. Edos are overwhelmingly voting for Obaseki ( not necessarily PDP) and that makes it impossible to rig. It is not a close contest in any way.

Many people on that list are Obaseki supporters.
