So Fed Govt is now relying on Dangote refinery. What a mess

Obaseki knows exactly what he is doing. I loved a particular word he said Government can't give everybody job. The best way is to partner and create an enabling environment for investors and these investors will create more jobs that is needed. That's a brilliant idea. He is actually doing all of that.

They said he keeps signing MOU everywhere. But they don't know the impact that will bring to the state.

Kido90:
Perhaps, you expected Ize Iyamu to join Obaseki in attacking Oshomole who is not on the ballot paper.

Obaseki admitted he Sobe farm project is a failure. He also didn't deny that the Agenebode Rice project is not a failure. Obaseki seemed to have agreed with Ize Iyamu that he Obaseki didn't do anything as he didn't make any effort to put up any defence or rejoinder even when Seun gave him that window.

I did poultry farm last year as an individual and it didnt come out well. Business is 50/50. The most important thing is to learn from your mistakes and try again. That was exactly what Obaseki said. He never denied the Sobe farm project flopped. He said he has learn and put more effort in actualization of the reality they want. If not for anything at least applaud him for saying the truth unlike other politician that will lie that it is 100% successful even when you are seeing the failure.

Meanwhile Agriculture is not like buying and selling business where you are certain of the actual profit. Even in the buying and selling business you can still lose when accident or man made hindrances occur. In Agriculture, a common cause or hindrance can rule out your yield for that particular year. He just mentioned Fulani Herdsmen, Insect infestation and ecological barrier can cause great loss in Agricultural business. Business is a risk.

Who won tonight's governorship debate tonight between Governor Godwin Obaseki, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC)?

I respected Obaseki where he admitted one of his Agricultural scheme didn't do well but he is doing everything possible to meet up with it. That's a sign of a good leader. You admit your wrong doing and learn from it so you can get it right next time.

2ndly Ize-Iyamu kept attacking Obaseki instead of answering straight questions. While Obaseki go straight to answers without attacking Ize-Iyamu. Obaseki only shaded Oshiomole for disqualifying him.

Political debate should be based on ideology and what to offer not coming on TV to throw irrelevant tantrums on opponents. Imaging calling Obaseki wasteful management. Ize-Iyamu was busy attacking Obaseki instead of coming out to tell us what he have for Edo people.

ojbaba95:
He added that the thugs were escorted by some police operatives.

He urged the state police command to ensure the safety of residents in the community.

We all know the political party police escorts to commit crime in Nigeria. APC can do anything. They can organise thugs in PDP uniform just to claim false presentation. They are wicked.

favor914:
Why was Obaseki afraid? The law comes first before the action, whether they were sworn in or not by the Governor, they still stand elected as Representatives of their people, & that can never be taken away, haven’t they, or are they not collecting their salaries & bonuses? No Court can deny or stop them from carrying out their statutory duties as prescribed by the constitution.

Don't worry I will organise my 24 friends tomorrow in my private residence to approve the 1.5bil loan. Since everybody want to be mad. Lol

Lol. Funny people.

All these ones are jokers. I thought they passed a resolution last month that all banks should freeze government funds. Meanwhile last week Obaseki granted funds for Agricultural scheme in Esan.

They themselves know they are not recognised by Law. You can have the number but if there isn't due process that number is void. 2ndly you said you are the rightful legislature but carrying out legislative duties in an undisclosed location. Who will take a legislative activities run in a private residence serious?

State Chief Judge doesnt recognise them as they haven't been inaugurated by law. They are even going against court rulings and orders as the case is still pending in court. Clowns

Even if Deputy Governor Shaibu decamp to APC tomorrow. Obaseki will still win.

Who doesn't know Ikpea is an ass-licker of Oshiomole. Never knew he was still a commissioner till date.

When I say Nigeria is finish. Some people will say I shouldn't be saying ill words about my country

LibertyRep:
Hasn't the Oba settled this dispute?

Both parties should engage the electorates and not this mudslinging.

Becos Oba settle dispute should stop them from campaigning?

In as far I am a core supporter of Obaseki. Oshiomole isn't wrong if he made that statement. Majority of the core Benin people are very crafty when it involves money. They can sell out immediately. I remember during our days in SUG in Ambrose Alli University. When an Esan man stands, nothing can change his mind. He will only eat your money and still stand where he belongs. Same with Etsako people. They are also known to stand on what they believe. You see core Benin people, they will sell you out and cash out.

Reason Oshiomole hates Esan people:
Oshiomole said nothing you can do to please Esan people. They will eat your money and still follow what they believed on. That is why he always say Esan man can never be trusted to wave when bought.

Late Chief Tony Anenih also made such statement. He said in 10mins you can buy a Benin man who have been shouting for 1year.

Its becos of Esan that is making Obaseki still the Governor and not impeached because all the HOA from Esan in his camp never waved when offered. But you see some from Benin, they shifted when offered 40mil each.

Most of them are like FFK. Lol. Anywhere belle face.

The only thing here is Esan is a no go area for APC. All these people are just carried from ward to ward. They can't pull this kind of crowd in ward campaign in Uromi. Especially Uromi. Either they are paid or imported.

iloveyou82:
when i watched the crowd pulled by odi okojie, i was marvel.
a single man pulled crowd more than the governor in esanland?

Lol. U are a joker. This election is 3weeks away. APC go see pepper.

Lol. This guy can't win his polling unit for APC. Mark my words. When he was in PDP, it would have been a carnival for him in Uromi. Though he is loved my the youth but this time he is on his own. Uromi/Esan is PDP. Now some faction of APC which collapsed to PDP have made it impossible for them to win Uromi/Esan.

When we say PDP is fully on ground here some miscreants will be deceiving themselves online. One thing Edo people hate is Godfatherism. They hate oppression and one man claiming superiority.

It's so unfortunate that Ize-Iyamu that formed Grace Group with a slogan of "no man is God" to fight the then Chief Tony Anenih is the same man staying under a Godfather to grab power by all means..

Ize-Iyamu is more dodged and rugged than Obaseki and I wonder if he will even listen to the same Oshiomole for a month if he wins.

Lol. All these ones are jokers. I thought they passed a resolution last two weeks that all banks should freeze government funds. Meanwhile yesterday Obaseki grant funds for Agricultural scheme in Esan.

Trumpcard05:
Only in your dreams! Why is it that it is those who are outside Edo state that are so quick to say the opposite of the reality on ground. Come and feel the pulse on ground, the people are not deceived, they are completely sold on Obaseki and will overwhelmingly return him elected come September. Mark these very words.

Thank you so much. We Edolites know what's on ground. I do not know why Yoruba's took this election upon themselves. We do not serve money bags or one Godfather in Edo State. If you people love the way Tinubu pocketed the whole SW. We in Edo do not want similar.

These are wastage

gmercy713:
Who else is worried about the condition of that building?

Lol

APC dey learn

*You have been crowned by God, Oshiomhole’s King tells Obaseki, invests Governor with Onoshiorena of Uzairue chieftaincy title*

*…Deputy Gov. gets Oshiozekhai chieftaincy title*

The Ogieneni of Uzairue, His Royal Highness, Alhaji Imonikhe Kadiri Omogbai IV, has invested Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki with the Onoshiorena of Uzairue (The One God has Crowned) chieftaincy title, in recognition of the role of God in the affairs of the governor.

Also installed was the Deputy Governor, Rt. Hon. Com. Philip Shaibu, who is now the Oshiozekhai (It is God that chooses) of Uzairue Clan in Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State.

The Clan consists of over twenty villages, namely; Jattu, Iyamho (Adams Oshiomhole’s village), Afowa, Elele, Iyamho, Ogbido, Uluoke, Ayaoghena and Ayua.

Others are; Iyuku, Imeke, Afashio, Iyora, Apana, Imonikhe, Yelwa, Ozor, Ikabigbo, Idatto, Ugbenor, Irekpai and Ayogwiri.

The event took place on Thursday during the governor’s visit to the traditional ruler at his palace, as part of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s campaign rally in Edo North Senatorial District.

Wow, the most interesting excuse I ever heard.
So an estate doesn't deserved a good road network?

That's a good road there bro. The road is still under construction. You can see that's not the final stage. Those roads will be tarred with asphalt at finishing stage.

All I am asking is were you expecting to see bridges and heavy duty roads inside an estate?

NaMe4:
He doesn't. And that's how it's supposed to be as that is his mandate.

There are so many projects ongoing, lots of citizens in one part of a city may not have knowledge of what is going on or may have been completed in another part.

I noticed in his campaigns he mainly informs the electorate of projects he is yet to embark upon and reassures them of completion in due time.

That is where I have been having issues with his media campaign team. They should rather focus more on advertising projects done rather than defaming Oshiomole or other characters. Obaseki has done excellently well in all senatorial districts in Edo State.

pyyxxaro:
This Speaker was a Known Cultist in Ekpoma wayback



I wonder what the state would turn into when they are officially elected into office

To complete this story, his nick name was Tiger. So notorious back then.

Le124:
Edoror, who spoke to The PUNCH after Wednesday’s sitting of his faction at an undisclosed address at the Government Reserved Area of the state, said the decisions taken at the sitting were binding, noting that if the executive refused to implement them, it would have grave constitutional implications. ,,

You want to impeach a governor from an undisclosed sitting location in somewhere in GRA. (Ize- Iyamu residence). Lol.

At least get a known recognised constitutionally approved address for legislative duties before saying nonsense.

dalongjnr:
Look at the road, poorly done.

Where you expecting a Julius Berger road inside an estate? Una must find excuse.

Quelme:
Where is the Emotan gardens located in Edo? Abi na your back yard e dey. You and your audio MOU 3 credit governor no go kill person with all manners of lies!

Emotan gardens kill you there!!!!

Affordable kill you there!!!

Na once u dey know APC people. Touts. Why all these insults. You are seeing something with pictorial evidence and you are saying all these.

What is wrong in asking me politely the address of this estate?

This estate is located in Upper Sokponba Road, Benin, Edo State.

MrGoood:
Pls don’t reply anymore that criticizes a working Governor on this forum, Just see them as someone who can’t make a good decision without relying on someone else decisions, What is the offense of obaseki? They will say he didn’t swear in some HOA members, What of Oshomole that removed A king in his own tenure , Note this moniker very well, Am supporting Obaseki and I already convinced 17 of my people in Edo to vote him again and am still changing people mind, Opening people eye, I convinced them with reasonable point, Not everyone will be a fool.

Thank God you know broda. They keep calling him MOU governor but all the MOU is on reality.

Obaseki is what we Edo peoplewant. Let those outside Edo who are clamouring for Ize Iyamu be deceiving themselves..
