donphilopus: Should PDP win the next election, can't he become the CoS or SSG?
Adjoto is too thuggish and rugged to be ssg or cos na,a cerebral and civil fellow like ighodalo won't make that mistake.besides he will prefer building his own structure.as it stands,there's nothing to motivate him to work for obaseki seeing how shuaibu was treated
chime8: This is how the journey started, he was a good guardian to I and my other guys that was his younger brothers friend, back then in UNIBEN CONGRATULATIONS OMOBAYO GODWIN MARVELOUS
Bonaventura: We've been hearing of this Siemens project for years now. This is one of the redherring to distract us from the fact that Tinubu and his ministers have been failures.
Best hands in the mud.
Their reactionary approach to development wants to make one cry.
By the time the foreign reserve is completely depleted because they are pretending to be defending the naira we'll know what else they'd say.
Adelabu is one of the worst performing minister out of the bunch of mediocre ministers of Tinubu. He's the worst of the worst.
He increased electricity tariffs in the dead of the night just like his mandate thief principal was illegitimately announced in the dead of the night and now he wants to distract us with Siemens behemoth project.
ogbonti: where you alive in 2020 when Obaseki turned Oshiomhile to motivational speaker after Osho was overthrown as National Chairman. of the APC by his Ward Chairman - Chief Ashawo ? 😁
Usenokpevbo: you cannot use voters turnout in an election to determine population,with voters turnout, there might be apathy.
Use voters registration, that is more plausible, that would capture all persons both those who registered and decided to vote and those who sat at home. A
there are four lgas in present day Benin city now, and they are more numerous than Akoko Edo lga.
Only Uniben and surrounding is more than 100,000, both students, workers, non academic staffs and academic, indigenes. Oluku is also very populous even Ovbogie, Ekiadolor. Okada a town of its own adjudged to be 100,000 Is under this lga .
The voter’s registration figure for Egor is about 250,000 . I will post a video for you on itv. I doubt Akoko is 60% of that. Look at the voters turnout of Etsako west is even bigger than Akoko edo.
I could not find a video detailing the present registered voters for Ovia north east for 2023 but I found the one for 2020, it is still bigger than the Akoko Edo 2023 voters figure at 143, 000 registered voters and must have gone up to around 170,000-180,000 with the voters registration exercise in 2023. You can’t compare Akoko Edo whereby a man from Ibillo would register there and vote there needing a bike of 100naira to get to his polling unit as opposed to Benin where the transport is much higher and movement around the city center on that day is usually clumsy
Registered voters for Akoko Edo-138,000 Registered voters for Egor-222,000 Registered voters for Oredo-347,000 Registered voters for Ikpoba Okha -310,000 (according to 2020 figures, the one for 2023 is not in that video. Registered voters for Etsako west- 159,000 (according to 2020 figures, the one for 2023 is not in that video. the one for 2023 will be in excess of 185,000 at the very least
ogbonti: This is Shaibu, a man that could not win his own ward at Uzairue, during his re-election with Obaseki in 2020 won become Governor in 2024? na there Obaseki and PDP see am finish and they made a conscious effort to ensure he doesnt get the ticket to succeed Obaseki -
no Sitting Governor ever wish for a person or party he doesnt know or understand to succeed him - Obaseki can not risk giving the ticket to Shaibu when he knows Shaibu is a paper weight politician in Edo North
Politics is not about sentiments BUT all about numbers - who can honestly tell me here that Shaibu will win his local government area IF he was given the PDP Governorship ticket ? APC and Oshiomole for take Shaibu shine
Instead of him to cool down- respect his Boss and leave the scene with his pride, loot and self respect- he started fighting his Boss and plotting a coup- now Obaseki has shown him why he is called
“Ematon” - Iron in bini language 😁😁😁
Obaseki that even Oba of Benin no fit fight successfully- na him small Phillip Shaibu, “son of a nobody” according to Wike - dey won fight ?
Shaibu should prepare for more humiliating experiences before Nov 12 this year
fergie001: Yes, Fubara and anti-Wike people want Secondus back but Damagum is pro-Wike and informed his man on what's up but 18th is quite far, Secondus' Ward Chairman will soon be one of the richest politicians in a few weeks time.
I thought the plan was to either allow damagum remain till next year or replace him with someone from NC
Do you know the frenzy that this appointment will cause in his constituency and LGA?
Now, powers in the LGA and even beyond will rally behind him. You can’t just rule out the influence he’d bring.
And after 8 years of Asue, he’d probably be the next governor. Na graph dem dey plot.
Yet when I told you sgf and CDs are causing frenz in middle belt,you argued blindly now you have somersaulted.nonetheless,this is a stupid move.if he had given it to orbih faction,it would have weaken them.if he had given etsako,it may buy them some votes there.pdp is already strong in that lga so why this? If you want them to be stronger,you give it to adjoto.this boy under labour party took third,adjoto took second.any place obi or obaseki failed to win,na otilo
I don't argue everything,I argue things that are faulty.have you seen me arguing lp internal matters,ipob,esn matters? My strength is electoral matters
IMAliyu: While I like the fact that the Naira is appreciating, but it seems to be artificial, and it seems our FX reserves are being used to defend it. This is not sustainable, unless the CBN has some unknown plans to solve this.
Ologbo147: There would be no massive loss anywhere in the north. You overrate these politicians a lot. I am telling you the feeders from Akoko Edo and Owan populace as a result of this act. And I am telling you because I am on ground that the result will shock you.
Kabiru is not an enemy of the governor, you don’t know if they had an understanding to that effect. He was against it when Shaibu took Obaseki to court. There are several videos to that effect. What will seven months deputy governorship do for adjoto? Stop sounding like he had a fallout with adjoto because he was not chosen. They are in the same camp, he must have consulted with them, some arms of labor party is pliant to pdp in Edo state and it’s not news
The only place where there is assurance of defeat from pdp is Etsako, the other places are already tired of the domineering effects of Etsako will vote pdp enough to mitigate the loss of pdp in Etsako.
I never said Kabiru is an enemy of the governor,he is an ally.him,ogie,shuaibu were all oshiomhole men before they decided to follow adjoto.adjoto lost the rep election and he will be in political wilderness till 2027.what is the assurance that ighodalo will not build his own structure and dump him? What if marvellous replaced him as pdp leader in akoko? With the way shuaibu was treated,he will also be cautious.what is the motivation for him to fight for ighodalo? A seven months deputy at least will be something rather than being left in the cold for four years.a bed in hand is better I never said akoko and owan will give bloc votes but APC has the advantage there and etsako will surely vote APC overwhelmingly and this will likely be the decider.the only place pdp can get bloc is ikpoba with great efforts.if care is not taken,APC can get bloc votes in ovia. Pdp is assured of defeat esan central of okpebholo,esan north east,ovia south east and north east and one of orhiomnwon or uhumnwonde. Yes I know a faction of Lp is pliant to obaseki but the major one is with akpata which will deplete pdp votes in Benin city
Ologbo147: I don’t even know why that is a topic in the first place,the Chief of staff is more powerful in situations where the deputy governor and the governor are at loggerheads and most of the times, the governor strips the deputy governor of several important duties,
The chief of staff is already a pliant man, often times they are friends with the governor unlike the deputy who is most times chosen by the party. The chief of staff and the governor continues to have this tete-a-tête-à-tête, he becomes the eye and ear of the governor for several reasons he is an appointed position and such at the mercy of the governor and can be sacked anytime. He himself is only as powerful as much as the governor allows him.
Unlike a deputy governor that was elected, cannot be sacked, can only be impeached and most times takes rigorous politics for it to happen. In many cases where the deputy governor is more grassrooted, it will be almost impossible to impeach him. A man with very solid grassroot base like Ize Iyamu would not have been easily impeached by Obaseki. It might have been impossible. That is why many deputy governors fall out with their governor and it is not the same thing with the chief of staff.
The constitution states that the deputy governor can have duties on his table as much as the governor allows him. Show me a chief of staff more powerful than Shaibu when he was in good terms with Obaseki. Many times because they were not appointed but elected on a joint ticket, many of them will no longer be loyal and start misbehaving, sooner or later they soon realize that in a state, they can only be as powerful as the governor allows them to be,
A deputy governor at peace with the governor is never less powerful than a chief of staff, there is immunity and several privileges like pension for deputy governors, it is not so with the chief of staff. OVB123
Oga,the closest person most times to a governor is his chief of staff.he wields massive power.by the way,that's not the topic.the summary is that it was a wasted slot as the only akoko Edo son in pdp that has political capital is Kabiru adjoto.marvellous is a small boy,it was just to compensate him and maybe attract youths.their most beloved son is the reps member peter akpatason. In owan axis,the numero is hon prof Julius ihonvbere,the speaker is not relevant.worst case is pdp taking akoko Edo narrowly which won't prevent a massive lost in Edo north
