Politics / Why Wike Will Not Support Atiku - Fayose by fistonme(m): 6:54am On Jun 30, 2022 |
Former Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose, has explained why he believes Nyesom Wike will never support the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar. Mr Fayose, in an exclusive telephone interview with PREMIUM TIMES, said power must shift to the southern part of Nigeria in 2023 after the expiration of President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term. The former governor also recounted how Mr Atiku “promised” to make Mr Wike, the Rivers State governor, his running mate after he was declared winner of the PDP presidential primary election. According to the former Ekiti governor, Mr Atiku failed to fulfil his promise to Mr Wike when he settled for the Delta State governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, as his running mate. “Wike never said he wanted to be VP, but when Atiku visited him, he was the one who said, ‘I want you to be my VP’. He said that to Wike. If that then changes, is Wike not supposed to be told? Is he not supposed to know?” He recalled that Mr Atiku had ignored the recommendation of a committee set up by the opposition party to pick his running mate. “PDP set up a committee to recommend a running mate for the candidate and the committee voted and picked Wike, but they didn’t comply with the recommendation of the committee.” “If the party is now a one-man show, we will show them that we can resist it. We are with Wike 100 per cent. “When they need Wike’s money and Wike’s support, they will say, ‘Wike is good enough’. Wike has been injured, but we will remain with him. Whatever he does is what we would do; wherever he asks us to go is where we will go.” When asked what would happen should Mr Wike ask them to support Mr Atiku, the former governor said: “Wike will never say we should support Atiku. “Wike cannot come out to say he is supporting Atiku. I dare him to say so; because he knows that whatever he says will haunt him forever. If Wike supports Atiku, we will abandon him.” Atiku responds Contacted for a response, Paul Ibe, Mr Atiku’s spokesperson, said his principal and the party will continue to appeal to aggrieved persons within their fold to embrace dialogue. “Because the bigger challenge is winning the election, kicking out the APC and stopping them from the many years of impoverishing our people,” said Mr Ibe. READ ALSO: Why Atiku rejected Wike as running mate “It is normal for our people to be aggrieved but the PDP has a way of resolving issues like this and that will be done and we all shall be happy.” ‘Power to the south’ On whether the plan is now to technically support the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Tinubu, or his counterpart in the Labour Party, Peter Obi, Mr Fayose said: “this is not about Bola Tinubu or Obi, but this is about our belief that power must come to the south and it is a struggle we must actualise. Mr Fayose further explained that “when the June 12 election was cancelled, the presidency was zoned to the southwest to pacify the southwest region. “When former President Goodluck Jonathan was over staying, it was believed that he was already using the northern slot. So, he was opposed and a northern candidate was installed through the APC. “This time, it is the turn of the south because Buhari has spent eight years. Why will PDP be insisting that it must again be the turn of the north.” Mr Fayose also stated that he does not care if his actions are perceived as anti-party activity. “ What I am saying is, it is the turn of the South, and if they want to expel me, to hell with them. I am not taking money from anyone to belong to this party. “If they want to rock this boat, we will help them to rock it.” https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/539900-why-wike-will-not-support-atiku-fayose.html |

Politics / Another Government Official Resigns In Edo State by fistonme(m): 1:22pm On Jun 10, 2020 |
Vice-Chairman of Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State, Maureen Ekharagbon, has resigned her position in the council. Mrs Ekharagbon announced her resignation in a letter dated June 10, stating administrative, governance and political reasons. The letter was copied to Governor Godwin Obaseki, Local Government Service Commission and All Progressives Congress (APC). The letter read: “I tender my resignation based on administrative, political and governance grounds as politics and governance are inextricably connected. “I want to use this opportunity to thank Governor Godwin Obaseki for the opportunity to serve and also the Chairman of the Council, Mr Scott Ogbemudia. “I am grateful to the people of Ovia North East Local Government at large and the leadership of the APC under which platform I was elected.” Her resignation makes it three persons who have resigned from their various posts in the state within the last few weeks. Chief of Staff to the governor, Taiwo Akerele, and the Commissioner for Communications and Strategy, Paul Ohonbamu, had earlier tendered their resignations. The state will head to the polls for governorship election on September 19. https://www.qed.ng/edo-2020-another-government-official-resigns/?amp |

Web2020: you have already said it, that the government house is Obaseki's inheritance. you alluded to that when you said Oshiomole ruled for 8years uninterrupted, hence he should allow Obaseki rule for eight years. my brother, we should understand that Oshiomole did not just rule for 8years uninterrupted. He went through primaries to get the second term ticket. perhaps, you may say he went through a consensus. yes he went through indirect primary because there was no faction in the party. The party was united. Although, there were pockets of opposition against him within the party but he was able to persuade the majority of them to his side and the party became united. Do you now expect that Gov. Obaseki should be given a second term ticket without a primary? If there should be a primary what kind of primary should it be? In my Opinion, it should be a direct primary. This is because it will give opportunity to the different faction to vote. If we make it an indirect primary, it means you are saying the governor should get it without any contestation because most of the delegates would be commissioners, the 10 house of assembly members, etc who then do you think they would vote for if not Obaseki. but since he said he has done so well for us in Edo state, let him feel very free to come to the field in a direct primary and contest. 3 Likes |

serverconnect: As far as politics is concerned the in the world, there is no where there is no godfather. It exists even in the USA, UK, France etc whose democracy Nigeria seeks to imitate as opposed to military system of government. The same Obaseki is a product of a godfather if we look at it holistically. I also stand to be corrected, if Obaseki is favored and he gets a second term, he would want to influence who would succeed him as governor. So what are we not talking about. Godfatherism leaves with us. It is part of our system. A child whose uncle is a lecturer in a university was helped to get an admission into that university despite his relatively low post UTME and Jamb score at the detriment of another candidate who scored a relatively higher Post UTME and Jamb score. That child who got the admission got it because he had a godfather(his uncle). Hence is godfather is his uncle. This happens in every other sector of Nigeria. Civil service, Military etc 4 Likes |

Heffalump: no need for too much English. Everybody have a right to support who they choose to support. It will be better you show maturity and sanity by allowing them observe their right of association. Don't see anybody who seem not to agree with your views as stupid or evil. With your seeming enlightenment, would you then call all African traditional religion worshippers evil or insane? please the watch word is TOLERANCE. This is exactly the character your principal, Governor Godwin Obaseki has that is making everything difficult for him now. He forgot that being a leader means you should be able to manage people of all kinds. The good, the bad and the ugly. He should be able to tolerate opposing views by first listening, the using interpersonal and persuasive skills try to make them buy into his own views so as to enable him get a consensus to achieve his goals since we are in a democratic era which requires numbers. To him, it is either you with me or you are an opposition and being an opposition, you should be thrown out of the bus. This attitude has made him throw away the baby and the bath water. Now he is trying to force those he alienated for years to now come and support his second term bid by force. This is no matter of Tinubu or Oshiomole. It is a matter of him fighting the political class. Even if one is a technocrat(as he says he is), the moment you join politics you become a politician. A good politician should have persuasive skills. But our Governor says no, he is not a politician but a technocrat. Well he is just technocrat, no wonder he has taking such novice decisions all these while. But how can a fish be in water and say it will never swim(in the case of Obaseki's, using persuasive skills in placating people with opposing views) ? 6 Likes |

ogbonti: I am sorry my response is coming this late. I may not be able to itemize my response as you have done above. I want you to understand that a indirect primary can not hold now unlike when Oshiomole was contesting and also during the first term of Obaseki. This is because as at the the party was not divided into factions. The party was one although there were descenting voices yet no factions existed unlike what we have now. if an indirect primary is allowed, which of the delegates will the NWC allow to vote? is it the delegates made up of commissioners, the already sworn in members of the state assembly or.... or the ones loyal to the other faction? in my opinion, it is better all card carrying members of apc in Edo state go to the field and cast their votes. you talk as if the Obaseki's administration does not have corrupt activities going on within. Just be patient when he is out of the office you will see that all Corrupt activities perpetuated will be exposed. you talking about Oshiomole not being able to sit as the chairman and conduct the primaries because he is an interested party. will he be able to sit as the chairman if he agrees to make it indirect primaries. my brother, more than a million people already know Obaseki has no electoral value. He is not a grass root politician (at least I am kind to even call him a politician) hence is fear for direct primaries. he said all the ward apc chairmen and local government apc chairmen are with him. why is he still afraid to go into the field instead he is using the pandemic as a cover. I am still asking will the main election be indirect election? |

The whole fight was caused by Godwin Obaseki. He refused different moves from different people to settle the issue between him and his Godfather. As you know, politics is a thing of interest. Oshiomole, is making all moves he can to remove him because he knows Obaseki can not be trusted of given a chance to come back for second term. earlier on you talked about if Oshiomole a national chairman has money compared to a state governor. I sincerely do not understand what you are insinuating if not corruption. let me tell you something you should also understand amongst the governors in the progressive governors forum.

I don't think understand this Nigerian politics. history is very different from politics. every political contest is an opportunity to set new rules. my brother, it is very wrong to say you do not need federal might to win elections in delta/benin. it all depends on who is wielding the federal might. Oshiomole as the national chairman of APC sure knows how to wield it. hence, most pdp party faithfuls are skeptical about him even if they would not agree. Obaseki will not go to an opposition party because he knows if he does he will fail woefully. Even, in pdp he will find it very difficult to win not to talk of kowa party. please, we are here to learn let's try to reduce the rate at which we use derogatory terms. if I have used any, pardon me. |

I want you to understand that this is politics. you can not be playing politics and say you do not want to be a politician. Obaseki failed when he allowed certain politicians fight and make a lot of sacrifices to bring him to power and at the end he neglected them immediately he entered forgetting he will come and play the game with them sometime in future which is now. the issue of him not opening the treasury for the politicians to misappropriate money is merely a man trying to give a dog a bad name so he can kill it. Obaseki's is saying the NWC does not have power to determine what kind of primary to use yet the constitution of the party gives the nwc power to organize the election. I would like to ask, if they do the primary election indirect primary will the main election still be indirect primary? if Obaseki is popular let him go to the field and slog it out with other contestants. |

Good morning friends, My sincere compliments to you all for being able to see this glorious day through the divine enablement of God. kindly permit me to use this opportunity to express my self which also tally with the point of view of some other readers. please it should be noted that i sincerely recognize and respect opposing points of view. I have observed the lifestyle and pedigree of Mr. Adams aliyu Oshiomole from his days in the textile union up in the north, Kaduna precisely. To becoming the head of NLC, Nigeria's foremost pressure group for workers welfare. Let me not forget is battling days as a green horn politician wherein he fought vehemently for the stolen mandate given to him to pioneer the affairs of Edo state by the Edos in the court and his present elevation to the position of National chairman of the APC. In recent times following the last general election, there has been numerous calls for his resignation or outright sack as the national chairman APC by some self serving persons. I strongly believe it is wrong for him to resign or be sacked considering the fact that he still has a whole lot to do to better the politics of APC in Nigeria considering his undeniable tactics with which he handles issues. with this I have consider it necessary in my own little way to truly stand with him by creating this thread. I also urge others with like minds to key into the whatsapp group whose link I will post soon so we all can synergize our support for him. Thanks for your cooperation in advance. |
