Buhari is not on anybody's side when it comes to this sort of instances. If he could allow Amosun, Ambode, Amaechi, and even Rochas Okorocha, to be subjected to local political intrigues, any governor counting on him saving his behind is sitting on a long thing. He has always demonstrated an aloof disposition towards local politics so Obaseki better have a plan-B (which should logically be defection to the PDP), else he's just wasting his time if he is counting on Buhari of all people to save his behind. What would be Buhari's stake in Edo politics that would make him stick his neck out for Obaseki?

Obaseki just rejected the second high-profiled/levelled APC NWC reconciliation committee setup by the party to try to settle the problems plaguing edo APC - - he keeps using the excuse that those that constitute the committees are pro-Oshiomhole people as reason for rejecting them. With such consistent intransigence, he is showing that he's not open to compromise/reconciliation. But whether he likes it or not, Oshiomhole is still the chairman of the party and that may not change anytime soon. He should at least allow the reconciliation committees to do their job and see the outcome of their efforts before rejecting them outrightly. That is why I said if he continues like this then he should start planning to port to PDP. I am sure they won't hesitate to give him their ticket considering that he is an incumbent.

You're very politically sagacious.
Buhari gat no time for intervention in local politics, the examples you mentioned above are enough to draw lessons from.

I agree totally with you. Just the same way our National Assembly lacks the capacity to profer solutions to our national challenge.

Oyegun has no political value in edo.

johnmattew:
lol..even in APC Edo, oshiomole got no say......Edo people are stubborn, oshiomole got no say in who becomes Edo governor...the only place where oshiomole got reputation is Edo north and deputy governor don handle am wella

The same deputy gov that lost his ward in the last guber election?

You're the slow one here.

How did you win your own election?
Oga move ahead!

Nigeria is not safe at all. Everything has collapsed!

NONESENSE!

Hahahahaha.....
No be small matter oo

Do people still go for interviews?
All my friends that got job this year never attended any fvcking interview.

Na birthday we go chop?

The question Crusoe osagie is dodging is the fact that his boss the governor actually lost his polling unit, ward, constituency and senatorial district to the pdp. That's a fact!

tartar9:
Isn't your district sizeably populated with "afonja" Muslims.Stop comparing both situations.

Orji uzor kalu won his polling unit, ward and senatorial unit for apc and buhari even the house of representatives seat was won by apc. That's abia, abi afonja populate there too? Thats what it means to have influence on ur people. Obaseki doesn't have it.

This Man Utd team is so ordinary.Tueh...
How did they beat Tottenham and man city?
I've not watched them in a very long while.

Born2Breed:
I doubt if GO will decamp to PDP. I am very certain he will win the APC primaries. He has a strong hold on the state structure and he has been paying royalty to the would be delegates for some time now from a reliable source, unless they adopt the open ballot system or he is betrayed last last.

Politics is synonymous with betrayal.

Ajseyi89:
funny enough,there was no rally coming up with 50,000 decamping with ize-iyamu, oshiomole only played on obaseki level of reasoning...he said that to infuriate obaseki in order to bring out the animal in him (obaseki)...at the end of the day,oshiomole,tinubu and osinbajo that were said to be coming to the rally were not even there...its just a hate-game being played by osho...in order to paint obaseki as the devil in the sight of Edo people and him (osho) playing the role of the saint...oshio played the drums for obaseki and unfortunately,obaseki danced to it....obaseki is a goner...even if he fights and loose...only the winner would be recognized and celebrated...nobody cares if you are fought and lost.....obaseki should just av played along with osho by even approving the venue and hosting the ize-iyamu that wants to decamp to APC...he is already seeing ize-iyamu as a threat that's why he reacted swiftly...and thats what oshiomole wants to achieve...

You're right.

Born2Breed:
Ize-Iyamu will shake Obaseki sha.

The battle is left for Edo north and central to decide who will be the next governor. Edo south vote will definitely be divided and if Edo north n central vote POI it will be 12yrs for Edo south which is very unfair but a win for GO will give central the opportunity to produce the next governor for 2024.

I pity Benin street sha,more guns to kill in the hands of the youths to fight their cult fight to death after the election.

He'll defeat obaseki in places like orhionmwon and uhunmwonde because he's got no presence in those areas. Oredo, egor, ikpoba okha will be battle grounds.

I'm sure the lettter will be disregarded and the rally will proceed because this is the era of lawlessness.
Buhari has blazed the trail already.Useless politicians!

Shame of a nation.
Just mention one thing that works in Nigeria?

fergie001:
It's a grid collapse.
But it's been restored gradually, and discos will later get signal from NCC to hook up.

So far, only @aedcelectricity (that is Abuja) have hooked on. Others will follow....

Which Abuja? No light here since yesterday.

Nelz77:
Definitely not now that Obaseki has been tested by the masses. Plus the Public Sympathy effect.

It’s not gonna be as easy for either sides as U think.

My guy apc will rig him out with ease if he dare contest under any other platform.

Bennycollins:
So seriously Oshiomhole is the organiser? To receive the same man he told Edo people everywhere he went in 2016 to reject a fake Pastor?? I lack words to describe the person of Adams Oshiomole then.
I hate his brand of politics with passion, to say the least.

That's politics as played in Nigeria. I said somewhere recently that if yahaya bello can win re-election then anybody can.I'm not sure ize iyamu is worse than bello. The point is there are no more elections in Nigeria.
The election will be massively rigged with wide margin and they'll say go to court.I'm not a fan of ize iyamu though.I guess he was brought in because he's a master of dirty politics. if not for oshomhole manipulation obaseki would've not defeated ize iyamu in d last election. it was just 66,000 difference. He was the man that rigged the uromi lga election those days.Give ize iyamu federal backing and watch him humiliate obaseki next year.

The guy is most likely living in Pluto or a planet close to Pluto!
Which integrity?

I tire for the guy o

PHILipu1:
Have you seen where Buhari or Osinbajo attend such rally before?
It is not a campaign rally but someone is decamping.
We only need the highest south south office holder there and that is deputy senate president Omo Agege and some ministers to be there.

If you read well,you would see where osinbajo and tinubu were mentioned.
That's what I reacted to.

ojokolax:
that's a tad far. have y'all still got space in brain-frying mercury?

irrespective of his position as the chairman of the party, he's not the CSO of the state.

You're not different from buhari.
since when does a peaceful assembly become a problem to the CSO?
You need a brain examination.

ojokolax:
One thing you can be certain about is that VP Osinbajo would not be involved in any form of illegality whatsoever. He is a man of unquestionable integrity and acumen

You may live in Pluto.
what's illegal in attending a rally you were invited to by the national chairman of a party.

Let me just wait and see if osinbajo and tinubu will be present at the rally first.
if that happens then obaseki is in trouble.

After hundreds of youths don die for the cult clash in Benin finish na now dey break 4 una side.
As for the rally,you guys know what's going on so stop deceiving yourselves.

what's this nonsense?

Na today?

Bubu dey chop life.

Shame of a nation.
Tuehhhhh!
