you don't call them his godfathers because of that. That's a political alliance to defeat an enemy. Oshio would accept tinubu as his godfather than any other person.

They weren't godfathers but Oshiomhole referred to them as such.

seanfer:
Lucky sponsor Oshiomhole's election? when the Igbinedions supported Osunbor with everything they have...

I wholeheartedly answer yes

seanfer:
Anenih was the PDP BOT Chairman and Igbinedion happens to be the father of the former Governor of the state and they both handpicked Prof Osunbor as the successor to Lucky Igbinedion..
Oshiomhole fought them all because they tried to steal his mandate and the court gave him back the seat...
They tried to use the House of Assembly to frustrate his first term,, The subsequent Election all those Supported by Anenih and Igbinedion lost woefully to Oshiomhole's party and that brought the statement Oshiomhole made that He has retired the Edo Godfathers.

You know nothing about Edo politics. Was there no squabble between Anenih and Igbinedion which prompted Lucky to fund Oshiomhole's campaign etc secretly?

Caseless:
u're not following oshomhole. Where's oshio trying to be a godfather? Oshio made him to fight members, refuse to swear in those members, pull hotel of kabaka down, refuse to entreaties, rejected committees sent to make peace and created discrepancies in his certificates?
If oshio actually rigged, how come buhari lost edo and lost 2 senate seats and HoR seats?

The 2016 governorship election where Ize-Iyamu contested against Obaseki, you mean you do not know what happened? Even the blind knew who actually won and lost that election.

Caseless:
Anenih was the one deciding who gets what in Edo politics then, and lucky being succeeded by osunbor then, is seen as a godfather to osunbor - they're both godsons to anenih who was wielding so much power in pdp.
Because oshio accused him of godfatherism doesn't mean he was in anyway oshio's godfather. Agbaje in lagos calls tinubu godfather to his opponents in lagos election. Does that make tinubu his godfather?

Let me be a little bit blunt. Anenih brought Osunbor while Lucky secretly brought Oshiomhole. But while case was in court and it was clear Osunbor would lose Anenih switched sides. These were common facts we knew about.

Caseless:
how? Can u stop lying? [b]I heard iyamu was used to support oshio underground by Lucky [/b]when he discovered osunbor was not worshipping him. How does that make them his godfathers?

1. Don't call me a liar because am a staunch follower of Oshiomhole. I worked with him. But one thing many of us detested was saying one thing and doing another. This is a major reason many are leaving Oshiomhole. Otherwise,by the kind of person he showed he was he need not "rig an election in Edo." But you can ask how the last election was.
2. So how would you qualify the action of Lucky in the bolded?
3. When Oshiomhole was saying "say no to Godfatherism" who was he referring to?

seanfer:
How did they sponsor Oshiomhole?

I told you i will not explain further. But why did Oshiomhole brand them as Godfathers which culminated in his fighting them back then?

Olaw86:
***Seriously i like your sub-headline******
Stop illegality
Firstly, if you are being sincere with legal and illegality then you should not cry fowl ( sorry for the use of such expression) over Obaseki's disqualification, if what he did to Tony Kabaka was legal then which I feel is cool, the structure was not at the appropriate ground so it has to be demolished based on legality then disqualifying him too based on certificate too should not be bone of contention.
My brother in politics, secrets kept are for future scandals especially when not on same page with the person.
Another important point I'd like you to know is that Obaseki is not fighting against any Godfatherism as they have always lied to us, he is fighting for his relevance and he also want to be in total control of the State. Let's take for instance Obaseki wasn't disqualified, and he later contested and won and became the governor for second term, he finished his term. Now won't he have a preferred candidate? Won't he try to compensate some people he felt has been loyal to him and decided to give them juice post?...... This is how Godfatherism starts before you begin to nail Oshiomole, you and I know that politically Obaseki wasn't relevant not untill Oshiomole brought him before we all begin to Google him and trying to know more about him.
Another interesting questions I want ask you is this, those people that Obaseki is now running to, what are they? The likes of Tinubu, wike, Atiku? and you want to be fooled that he is fighting Godfatherism, brother you are entitled to your opinion o but when commenting try to separate emotions from feelings and allow a critical, logical expression rule your thought that's how we could get the best conclusion.

No be fight now. All he was saying is if demolishing a hotel are among the sins Obaseki committed,the question is didn't Oshiomhole also demolish structures to settle political scores when he held sway as governor of Edo state?

seanfer:
At the Bolded how did Anenih and Igbinedion made Oshiomhole the governor? You want to tell us that the 2 PDP chieftain didn't support Osunbor the PDP flag bearer?

I can authoritatively tell you that Oshiomhole was sponsored by them. I will not explain more. But look at this simple analogy: why was Oshiomhole fighting those two as his godfathers whereas they belonged to different political parties? I was there and am still here. If you don't know humbly ask and you'll be informed.

Jesusloveyou:
to the masses.
We were told he will finish from where oshomole stop,
He refused to finish oshomole roads and open the hospital.
Is that not a betrayal of trust

1. An uncompleted white elephant hospital with absolutely nothing in it yet it was already commissioned by PMB towards the end of Oshiomhole tenure as governor? I tell you it wasn't designed to work.
2. Which roads are you talking about? Please kindly name them. Am listening.

kehinde1588:
Which effort did Obaseki make??

You guys like crying like bush baby any time justice is melted out.

When he refused to swear in 14 APC members, you guys hailed him. When he was openly fighting Osho baba you guys saw him as the new maradona.

When he demolished Kabaka hotel, you guys said he got balls.

Now that he is being dealt with, you guys are now crying.

You guys need to stop crying more than the bereaved. Face your PDP

You did well. But let's take a journey back to Oshiomhole's first tenure
1. Did he not do same to Zakawanu Garba the erstwhile speaker of the EDHA and his others members even declaring their seats vacant?
2. Did Oshiomhole not openly fight the likes of Anenih and Igbinedion among others...people who made him governor?
3. Did not Oshiomhole demolished structures belonging to people such as the ones opposite Main Gate and Bob Izua's properties leading to the death of Izua's wife?
4. What did Obaseki do that Oshiomhole didn't do in grander scale? Just tell me.

ddippset:
Neither of them is a saint.

Must one of them be a saint?

They are both devils actually.
But what a lot of people have been trying to do is to call Obaseki the saint and call Oshiomole the devil.



Wrt my post, what I find really nauseating (which you are inadvertently trying to support) is the fact that someone is trying to justify a governor refusing to swear in 14 democratically elected lawmakers.

My point really is Oshomhole should stop branding Obaseki a devil simply because he didn't swear 14 members of EDHA in because he (Osho) did same. In fact he did worse by declaring their seats vacant back then. So why punish your own successor for doing something you did too. Let me tell you,there are more things not in public domain that made the former governor to treat the serving governor the way he did. We know these things. I have been here in Edo since 1997.

Karlifate:
People are so quick to mention Mr Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a Presidential candidate for 2023 general elections, when has not even declared his intentions.

There us an adage that even though i do not cultivate yam,i can still identify the leaves if i see them. Simply put,by their fruits (activities) we shall know them.

Tonyfx:
Oshiomole that doesn't even have certificates at all ruled Edo state for 8yrs now because he has issues with oshiomole his certificate don get comma. nonsense

Why on earth did they put them on public domain whereas Oshomhole never showed us his own when it mattered most? Campaign strategy right? But they're going to fail.

Xposed2020:
If he was not inaugurated, can he function as governor?
Did he challenge their election before a court of law?
Which constitution gave him power to do what he did?

Rather,didnt those members go to court then?

ddippset:


So an elected governor has got the right to refuse to inaugurate democratically elected representatives because he does not want to be a puppet?

Wow!

Just heard another one today.

Behold our leaders of tomorrow!.

I know you're not familiar with Edo politics right? Didn't Oshomhole do exactly the same thing to Zakawanu Garba the erstwhile Edo speaker and his other colleagues during Oshomhole's first tenure as Edo state governor?
So who is a saint in all of these political developments? Oshomhole? SMH.

the senseless people are more numerous than the sensible ones, some people go to school to full them self the more, until its get to your door steep before you people will realize your self but then it will be too late.

Don't mind them. They think the course Philosophy and Logic is a mere formality.

OpinionCounts:
And one idiot that supports Buhari with his destiny was here asking how Americans were stupid enough to elect Trump as president...a lot of Nigerians are grossly failed human experiments..
You castigate Trump as incompetent and ignorant, but you support Buhari as an expert and perfect leader..
A lot of Nigerians have cow dungs inside their skull instead of brain.
How can you even compare Trump to Buhari?? Like seriously!!! How? In what aspect or what regard or what ability? It's like comparing adamawa united to Barcelona.

You're very correct. The truth remains that many of the people you see here or meet don't have any form of training to think and reason objectively. There is a sharp contrast between schooling and training.

I should have been happier if you had condemned the wanton killings rather than condemn him. But you haven't.
Besides,he may have been one of the voices against this regime during the electioneering campaign back in 2015 and 2019 but the likes of you never listened to him.
So what do expect him to do?

Reinaldo:
How can someone just sit down, type a whole bunch of rubbish, post it, and be feeling cool. Chei! People dey this life o.

mvem:
those killed are his people so how do you rationalize that ?

When the first batch of Chibok girls were released by Boko Haram,PMB travelled same day to London for medical tourism.
When the second batch were released he again travelled same day to London for medical tourism.
Now he has travelled again to London for the same reason immediately after declaring his intention to run for a second term in office.

THE TRICK is let Nigerians be busy with unnecessary debates and forget the real reason why he keeps travelling to London.

Anyone that believes Jonathan is a gentleman is the biggest fool in the country. This man used bullion vans to cart money away from our commonwealth. This man sprayed our money, our commonwealth to political patrons in the name of winning elections. This man and his wife stashed so much money away, that even the international media is awe stricken at how much she was able to garner as First Lady. And you people seriously think this guy is a hero? He was using Diezani to pump money everywhere!!! Money we could have spent in rescuing our country during the oil price slump in 2014!!! You people supporting this man are scum! Scum of this earth!!!

We hear you. All the monies said to be recovered have been used on what? All the monies in TSA where are they? The court had ordered the govt of the day to publish the total amount of all cash recovered, but why has govt not done so over a year now? This same govt realised over #3trillion from crude oil for the past 3 months, what is monies being used for? Keep deceiving yourself.

gidgiddy:
The Army has no legitimate operation in an area where there is no armed conflict or violence. Anyone who sends armed Soldiers to an area where there is no armed group has already broken the rules of engagement. I dont know anywhere in the SE that there was armed conflict.

Secondly, everyone heard the unbelivable story of the Army that they were peacefully passing and unarmed IPOB decided to block their way and attack them with sticks and stones. So a group of Soldiers, armed to the teeth with guns and tanks, were passing by peacefuly and unarmed IPOB decided to attack them? This sort of crazy story deserves an award.

Burutai is going down, may be not right now but he is drfinitely going down

You just spoke the minds of many

Odingo1:
You are just reasoning like a person without brain, so if a group of civilians confront army then army should open fire on them.

Ask am for me

GoroTango

Let them investigate all they like and it still wont bring about the coming of Biafra. Kanu ordered his boys to attack the army with dangerous weapons and so the army acted in self defense case closed.




Dangerous Weapons? Please name them? B.T.W let me ask you what about the newspaper house that was attacked first before attacking the Ipob members, did they attack the Army with Dangerous Weapons too?

Yarimo
Mtcheeew when will ICC investigate GEORGE BUSH former president of America over the killings in IRAQ? Nonsense


I suggest you petition ICC so they can do the needful rather than castigate those who have done theirs.

That is what gej could not do but was using the money for shayo. I know pigs must grunt over this but e no concern me. God bless the incorruptible president of the Fed Rep of Nigeria PMB, GCFR.

Did you not read from the report in paragraph 10 that their names were compiled in late 2014 and early 2015 where 460 names were compiled? Who was in power then? You just hate Jonathan for no reason.

ORUE gheghe Na.
