The overall best is from my town. A young guy from a neighbouring town gave him 500k yesterday and some of our own people are donating too. Gofund account will soon be open for the guy and by his grace we will contribute too. He broke the 54 years record of petroleum engineering department.

Edygrin:
It isn't, Imagine the government budgeting billions again to buy over 200 vehicles you'll still be part of the Nigerians that'll condemn them. Obaseki and his cronies should return the vehicles they bought with Edo State money so the new government can focus on something else.

This people who are now complaining are not even from Edo state. They are the bitter leaf people. Look at the three cars recovered, are they not in very good shape. With how cars are expensive now, those three alone will cost the government about 80m to purchase without inflating the price cos they may even say is 200m. Let them recover as much as they can and when his government leave too, another governor can also recover from them. We can't afford to waste money anymore. Bitter people, please stay away and face your state of.

idanone:
This one want to start chasing obaseki around, you better face Governance

You mean, the new Governor should waste tax payers money to buy cars for officials when there are already so good ones bought by the last regime. He should collect as much as possible. Asset recovery is a welcome development and to you who said he should face governance, are you the one that told him to flag off the first flyover project in Edo and two other areas has been also pencils down. He also flag of the Uteh tenboga ugbowo road, if you know that road you will appreciate Okpeboho for the political will to carry such road project. Mostly on daily basis, people call in radio and tv program about that road under Obaseki and after promises he failed to deliver it and his second term major campaign was the ramat park flyover. His Benin people will forget him within a year when Governor Okpeboho would have bring major succor to Benin axis. Do you think Oshiomole is loved in Benin and Edo general for nothing sake. He built very important roads in Benin and Okpeboho is further taken even a giant step to upgrade infrastructure that igbinedion and Obaseki two Benin men as governor failed to do for them. Okpeboho will even surpassed Oshiomole in terms of performance. Edo people only stood by Obaseki against Oshiomole because of the candidate he back Pastor Ize Iyamu who he has said alot of negativity against him in 2016 when he brought unknown Obaseki as the governorship candidate then.

Someone who doesn't respect a colleague who has nothing but admiration for him and regularly throws this same person under the bus at the slightest chance will most likely not have any regard for any person, group or organization. An idiot that an Igbo man employs and pays salary. I blame the people that call the clown doctor at regular intervals to massage his hopeless ego. The ugly bald-headed monkey should always be addressed as a baboon on live TV to get the bigot off his high horse.

If Abati leaves the station will reduced in his journalism. Do you think it the salary he get that make him to work for Arise tv, a former presidential aide. Some people love their work. Let the owner sack him and watch how the station reduces. Abati contact in the media house over the years even before appointed as a presidential aide is huge. He pulls those people mostly who always appear in the station.

Dshocker:
I can bet my life that the road to your family house is worst.

Is he a senator that you are contesting if the road to his house is bad too just like this now.

odejimioflagos:
Atiku is a man of honor. He will never stoop so low to support a fellow tribalist like Obi.

If pdp want to win 2027, they should give their ticket to Akuwumi Adeshina the former minister of agriculture and the president of Africa development bank who has be distinguish in the two offices. His tenure will end very soon. He will easily be marketed and followers and lovers of Jonathan mostly in south south will root for him.

naptu2:
Simon Ekpa regularly held all kinds of mega fund raising campaigns and people donated large sums of money to him from all over the world.

He often openly stated that the funds were for his fighters (as you can see from the flier above which he shared on Twitter).

Efforts are now on to trace those that donated money to him.

I have always said kanu and Ekpa get financial support from his tribesmen for the so called Biafra agitation. If they were doing it without killings and destruction, I will actually not condemned it cos they have the right to. This guys has cashed out from his people and if he is repatriated, another person will spring up to also cash in from is gullible people.

Omenlon:
what sort of useless headline is this. Because APC in one Local govt out of 18 are having nomination issue that means APC is having crisis in Edo State. You should know people only read headline not the story before they start commenting on nairaland .

That is what make the bitter people always be happy. Close to 2027 election, another of their brother will cry for presidency to be zoned to them by Apc they hate so much.

Amuluonyenaego:
Whenever illiterate are on the throne, crisis everywhere, see Edo governor see Oluomo. Pls u can add ur own jare.

Bitter person just spotted from bitter republic. Obaseki the highly educated with queens English to some of you, we all saw how he unite the pdp and the palace. I dey shame for most of una sha. When new government enter and their are position to fill, there is always internal squabble and later it dies down. Because you don't support the governor's party and hatred for them but if they pick your tribesman for president for instance in 2027, you and your people will be the biggest supporters.

cr7lomo:
They have only now made him popular.... this foolish government kidnapped Nnamdi Kanu and held him captive even with no conviction for over 2 yrs ... this one now will use that against the Nigerian government , just like the Binance executive... that alone will make the Finnish government not to extradite him back...he will be released based in that alone ... that's how Europeans are

He is only popular to your foolish eyes. I don't know what you people really want. Most of you guys have blame external forces as responsible for the unrest in south east and even directly blame Buhari as president and now Tinubu. Are you not supposed to be happy that he has been held in captives. You are saying rubbish because non of your family was a victim of their madness.

masterfactor:
The hypocrisy of the Igbo is on another level, when Kanu and ekpa started this IPOB terrorist of a thing, none of the elders in the south East came out to condemned it openly, instead they all fold their arms thinking the IPOB madness in the east will blackmail the Government to give them automatic presidency. Since all the scheme they tried did not work, they resulted to sit at home every Monday, thinking that will sway the government, they started killing each other on the same sit at home, who beat his/her child to spite his neighbour. If you see an Igbo man and a snake, first deal with the Igbo man and allow the snake to go. The hypocrisy of the Igbo needs to stop.

Exactly, maybe they taught kanu and Ekpa could bully the presidency by extending their destruction and killing to other part of the country expecially south south for them to realize biafra republic. The support from Northerners expecially north east to formation of boko haram because of political reason that now backfire and seeing the recruited boys becoming dangerous and continued till now, is the one that also played out in southeast. Most of them, be in leaders and the masses supported ipob movement for actualization of Biafra but now also backfired. They cant tamed the guys again cos kanu can't control them again. The people of south east are now at the receiving end and the leaders knows anything bad can happen to them or relatives. This are self inflicted problems but I pray let there be lasting peace.

helinues:
Toh

So the Ohaneze elders are just coming out from their shell after Ekpa's boys have been locking them at home for how many years now ??

Eish

The honest truth is either many of the south easterners were in support of Nmandi kanu and later Ekpa nonsense or they were afraid to confront them and their boys. Let see how it goes, if some of them will not wail expecially if he is been extradict to the country.

zeuss:
These are the usual system lies.......how can anambra generate more VAT that Oil producing states of Imo and Abia?

Any figure is manipulated the under hand the se.

What are you saying, how many oil companies operating in the two states compare to likes of delta, bayelsea, Akwa ibom and almighty rivers. Anambra is home to businesses, trading and manufacturing so it will have higher VAT to Abia and imo with very few oil companies in the two various states. During my youth service in Calabar then, there were oil companies there too and they may have many than Imo and Abia states. Ondo produces oil too, how many oil companies are there.

gidgiddy:
A lot of people have already started saying that Simon Ekpa will be extradited to Nigeria. Forget that idea, it is not possible

Simon Ekpa is a citizen of Finland. No country in Europe ever extradites its citizen to a country with bad human rights record, such as Nigeria

If people recall, when the war in Ukraine started, Finland applied to join NATO but was opposed by Turkey. Turkey demanded that Finland should extradite some Turkish activists who were based in Finland

Finland flatly said no to Turkey stating that it was against the European Convention On Human Rights for it to hand over people to a country like Turkey with questionable human rights record.

These Turkish activists were not even Finland citizens yet. So anyone who thinks Finland will ever hand over Ekpa, it's own citizen, to Nigeria, should perish the thought. Finland is not lawless Kenya

The European Convention On Human Rights prohibits the extradition of an individual to country with very bad human rights record where they are most likely to face persecution. A country like Nigeria

It's never going to happen

You are just ranting. Go and read what the Finland government said about his arrest. If the government press for his extradition as they have done, go and mark it down, that before the year end, he will be cooling in kuje prison. Do you know what is called international relationship. He is already a dot in the circle.

phemmie06:
My problem is not about Atiku contesting but my problem is PDP not uniting because of selfishness...... For Tinubu praise singers keep doing that na you go suffer most because na on top hope you go shutdown

Pride cost Atiku the presidency last year. I am not and will never be a fan of Wike but what you can't take away from him, is his strength politically in pdp cos he command huge respect and loyalist. Atiku should have made him is vice presidential candidate at all cost. It's better he win and fight later and has president Wike will backtrack cos he will know, he can lose the seat. Atiku underated Wike's strength just how Jonathan did same to Ameachi. You don't look at the main person you are fighting politically but his associates and loyalist matters. Tinubu never wanted Fashola for second tenure but when he look at his strength in Lagos Apc, he stay back and allowed Fashola be cos it will have been the end of his reign has godfather of Lagos state. Fashola would have decamped to pdp or any other and win convincely. He performed and also play politics so well that a lot of Acn supporter already identified with him and ready to go. Ambode was a very good performer but politically he was not close to the politicians and he even removed things they enjoyed before like Christmas and salah gifts and he disbanded waste collector by various Apc supporter and leaders who also get something from it and replaced it with a foreign company Visionscope. When the chips were down, no notable leaders in Apc stood for him and he just lost the primaries to his own MD of Lagos properties management board as that time, Sanwo olu. What an embarrassment.

Alaga2222:
Nobody voted for Tinubu. He only uses power and money to get to the throne

Obi that claimed victory, why is he romancing the Northern Muslim and even to the point of criticizing the Christians who mostly buy to his desperate religious war, just to please them. I didn't vote for Tinubu but the truth is that he won the election. Yes they may be some illegularities but when deducted, he would have still won. Pdp was so stupid and expecially Atiku who look down on some gladiators in pdp, led by Wike. If Wike was made the vice presidential candidate, Atiku would have been declared the winner. Okowa political strength is only in delta and he couldn't even deliver the state to pdp cos Obi won there. Atiku's ego and pride ruins his glorious chance to rule the country last year and that is gone forever. A bigger fight will erupt in pdp if he want to contest presidency again 2027 and that will unfortunately make Tinubu to win again. Pdp should just give their ticket to Akuwumi Adeshina and see how united pdp will be again. Jonathan will throw support as one of the very best minister under him. He will be the unifer pdp need. Makinde will also cos rift within pdp cos Atiku's loyalist will not support him in general election. Obi is not stable and he has been showing his true colours after election loss. He is tribalistic and a religion fanatic and so manipulative in order to get presidency at all cost.

Throwback:
You are next.

Don't piss your pants yet.

Those that have died in the hands of IPOB and UGM terrorists enabled by Ekpa and Kanu, did they not have human rights?

Why are some igbos against extraditing Ekpa to Nigeria. They have always accused Tinubu of sponsoring him but now that Tinubu had wid the big stick, they are now complaining.

God1000:
Anybody supporting this guy to destabilize south east is an enemy of igbos, he's using wrong approach.

What of the igbos that donate money generously to him ko.

lexy2014:
which business did he do that made him a billionaire?

does being a billionaire automatically mean he is fit to be a governor?

Which business the people in your zone did to be called billionaires. I don't know what consigns you people with Edo state matters. Governor Okpeboho will keep delivering and you people will keep having hypertension. We can't hate what you people hate for no reason.

olisaEze:
Someone met humungous debts on assuming office. But he should accept that he’s part of the problem from the new loans spent on luxuries for the new monarchy, 14yrs after he left excess cash & no debts behind. It’s amazing how dumb some people are prepared to sound, not for a seat at the table but for droppings & leftovers.

Obasanjo contributed to the mess the country is today. He re introduced corruption as president. Election rigging was his brainchild that other president after him, except Yaradua continue. He could not give account till date of 16b dollars he said he invested in power sector. Go and listen to fela song ITT and learn more about Obasanjo atrocities as even military head of state. To me you appear to be the dumb. Maurice iwu till date remains the worst INEC chairman and it was under Obasanjo regime. Obasanjo has no moral right to condemned Tinubu who is also not doing well too. He and Atiku built private universities as sitting public office holders and mandated governors of pdp and business tycoons to donate.

Shadomaan7:
Abia state is not only about Aba. Why are the supporters of Otti always parochial in their thinking?

I wonder if, the state capital as not not be mentioned since he took over. Imagine the faith of other towns and villages.

Zionmdde:
Rubbish as usual

Yorubas have been collecting levies from that market and every other market in Lagos. Igbo traders have been paying without any form of resistance

So in the small election they want to have to appoint a leader to oversee the market affairs is now a problem? In a market made of 95% igbos? Not that they won't still be paying taxes and levies to their hosts as usual?

Na wa oooo.
So in a cattle market in Lagos, they will also have a problem with hausas appointing their leaders? When there are lots of markets in the north that either igbis or yorubas are leaders there

Tribalism and stupidity have never been this bad

You are really an hypocrite for saying otherwise with regard to election in ladipo market. It is obvious a certain Igbo ladipo market chairman want to impose his candidate on others and as usual, you will cry victim mentality cos it's in you people.

yoruboid:
https://pmexpressng.com/ladipo-market-mushin-lg-takes-over-market-chief-chukwuma-onyebinanma-arrested-flown-to-abuja-with-others/

Same set of fools, blame INEC chairman for election conduction last year of irregularities. I have never seen an hypocrite people like this before in my life. Ordinary market election ndi Igbo couldn't conduct without manipulation. What they preach, they don't practice.

mzeepositive:
Let’s reason outside the box and keep sentiment aside, Benin city need those fly overs

leave the brainless guy to keep saying rubbish. Since 1999 there are be clamour by Edolite for a flyover to discongest that ever busy route. Governors before him all dodge it. When completed it will be a signature project.

GAR3TH:
This is a complete waste of money, The corridor does not need a fly over. also he is taking land from a public park to build this fly over. The only reason there is traffic on that corridor is because the side roads are bad. just fix all the roads in that area and install traffic lights and watch the traffic reduce. no urban planning study was conducted, no traffic study was conducted, all these low I.Q. leaders know how to do is waste money and build fly-overs. Even the last governor said that fly-overs were not necessary, but less than 30 days in this guys is building them. how does that make sense? Are Nigerians really this dumb to be praising such a pointless project?

Your brain is empty in regard to the flyover been proposed at ramat park. Obaseki campaigned with and he said he has carried all feasibility study but he couldn't have the political will to deliver it. The park as outlived it's initial purpose. It need to go and a tripod flyover install.

Galay:
The only thing they know how to do is to construct substandard road, mttchew

Which kind of pain is this about the groundbreaking of the first and very important flyover at ramat park. Am very sure you must be from the bitter part of the country.

leo22:
I am not against what you said, you have a right to your opinion and I respect that.

What I said is that we cannot applaud the suspension of policies and changes the new government is making, there is nothing epic about it, it is a normal routine for every new government.

Let us wait to see how the new policies will play out, but like our elders say, na from clap we go know how dance go be... Interpretation? Check the first appointments and appointees.

But to say it is about the individual involved, doesn't apply in a case where a godfather and other party cohorts fought vehemently to regain power with so much zest and vengeance. This fight wasn't about the people, no.

The individual here doesn't matter, he can be powerless when Osadebe Avenue would be run from the palour of the godfathers, he can't do anything but their bidden.
Again check the first appointments and tell me whose bid was that.

Except the individual decides to go the way of ambode, obaseki and fubara, only then can you say we can experience a change. Until then, fingers crossed.

What is wrong with the appointment so far. That Oshiomole's son is the commissioner of health even with obvious intimidating profile to you should not be appointed. If we are to mention performance about qualifications, then I will gladly say since 1999, no commissioner of health in Edo State had a better CV. He his super qualified and within a year, we in Edo should withness transformation in the healthcare system that the previous government so much privitalized.

UAE123:
Thanks for your comment but I never expected you to like what I like or dislike what I dislike. As for the party in power, that does not determine who will do the right thing or steal from the state. What is relevant is the individual involved. There are saints in all the parties likewise thieves in all the parties.

You are right cos even most labour party elected representatives are even performing worst than apc and pdp ones. It's not about party but candidate who has the interest of the people in mind. If my governor within a year construct that flyover at that very critical area, the Benin's won't even remember Obaseki again for any good he did. He used that flyover has his major campaign for re election but didn't consider it in his second tenure.

vowiski:
And give it to kabaka

He said he has started flyover in Ramat, in 4 days..

No bidding , no design , no ESA , no nothing ..

Edo don jam rock

That is to your delusional mind. Do you know after been declared governor elect, he met with team of engineers and contractors. You don't need all the time for project bidding cos governors knows the contractors they preferred to handle their jobs. He is opting for the Chinese engineering company for the two projects he want to embark now. Go and concentrate about progress of your rotten state. We no send una papa for Edo matters.
