Dude became very distracted. He was fighting too many fights.

Ugbowo road is something any reasonable government will do. It’s a federal road, but you collect taxes from people using the road.

Obaseki, I will give him a C in overall performance, I don’t want to believe he was cursed in terms of road development.

All his road were completely nonsense, took us back to open drainage system. Worse still, was a government carrying out palliative on failed protons of roads only to get bad in 2 weeks, and it happened consistently all through his 8-years.

I know failed portions of road he fixed more than 10 times that got bad at the same exact spot after fixing.

Honestly the Obaseki model of tax collection was the best and it will have been a great disservice if governor Okpeboho reverse it. It reduces toutism in Edo. But is not a good administrator in terms of practical development. He got few things right and failed in many aspects. All the promises he made to Edolite during campaigns for re election was not done. Flood will have been a thing of the past in Edo now but he abandoned the great work of Oshiomole through the Benin water storm project, that some areas were already tackled by oshiomole administration. Areas like teachers house that landlords and landladys became tenant but came back to their houses after that massive flood control. Ugbowo road was so terrible even when it is a federal road but oshiomole addressed that too but unfortunately the canals developed were covered by sand and grasses through out Obaseki tenure. Governor Okpeboho has promised to go back and look at the design and restored it back. Obaseki major re election campaign was to build a flyover in ramat area to end the terrible holdup but never bothered.if governor Okpeboho delivered this two critical and important project, he will be loved by Edolite and expecially the Benin's who their son failed to allieviate the sufferings associated with the current menance. When it rain, you will dislike Benin city and the GRA is even worse hit.

Osanoghodua1:
you're technically right. He automated everything, just that he has an unforgiving spirit and he constructs poor roads and never amend the existing ones.. He fights anyone trying to assist him or anyone who corrects him but PDP won the last election howbeit.

AllTheWayUp:
Confused Governor, he is now going back to Obaseki's policies after reversing them

Dear Govn,let the good works begins in Edo State Now!
Edo State should be a Model 📳 for Others States in Nigeria Delta- Region .e.g
- in Roads development,in
-Healthcare Services.
- in public Works & Employment of Edo Youths .
- In Education.
- Agricultural Development,by giving the Farmers - Funds with a very Low interest Rates.
Jakande did this in Lagos within 4yrs .
Governor - set a New Goal to lift up Edo States.

christejames:
Cool pictures...


Those who don't know how boggy and swampy Yenagoa is will keep lamenting on how the state is not using its resources very well.


To construct a kilometer of road in Bayelsa will be more than double the amount it could be used to construct same kilometer of road in Delta or Lagos, or even triple the amount for same project in the North.


Those that gave eponyms to states and regions in Nigeria seemed to have failed simple geography because Bayelsa state that has more creeks, distributries and lagoons than Delta State should have been the main Delta State ...


Just like Cross River state that is in the East of Eastern region is called South South, Benue state that is on the same latitude Ogun state is state to be in the North 😂... Funny CORNtree 🌽

ajailer:
An acquaintance actually told me about these guys last month. He was acting too smart for them, and according to him, their disagreement started when they wouldn't give him employment letter and also wanting him to do face verification on a linkedin account with its location in California, US..... so they had to tell him to go after paying him for the few days he worked with them cos they felt he might bring them trouble. He said lots of boys knew the risk of their real identity being used to commit crime but they don't care cos the Chinese guys running the place was putting them on a starting salary of #200k and if you are good enough, they promote you to where you will be earning around #500k. For the few days he worked with them, he said he was working with like 5 different iPhones at a time for bombing work..... he said even the Chinese guys controlling the HK dare not go back to China cos their govt will kill them for committing crime, that they are already on wanted list in China...... omo d guy told me plenty things o

This is so disrespectful and I am glad they have been bursted finally.

Staro:
World Class roads but no cars.
It's high time Akwa Ibom took a break in infrastructural development and focus on empowerment / human capital development

PulaPower:
Your bone of contention is wrong..

There was nothing like Bini before the first Oba of Benin who happens to be Oranmiyan’s son! It used to be called Igodomigodo, a very small remote village. So, how can Oduduwa be from somewhere that wasn’t in existence?

If your claim above is true, it’s Yoruba king that’s suppose to be tracing their root to Benin, not Benin king’s..

Elzazzi:
It's true. The current Benin monarchy comes from Oduduwa. But Benin people dey always argue am.

Elzazzi:


Ok I think this argument can now be laid to rests once and for all.

nedekid:
Yeah, it's like employing a baker, machanic or tiler to run a bank and then say despite his short comming, you believe he is the right person to run the bank. In your own personal business, will you put your driver, cook or gate an as your md to manage your business?
The man cannot read out 14 digit sum and you are saying he is the right man, how myopic is that? You expect such person to appreciate the value of that in monetary terms?
Anyway, we are Nigerias, Africans and blacks for that matter, that is why according to Trump, all shit holes.

Johans2023:
the same you said the drug Barron is the right person for the job, now you cannot buy rice for your children. They carry an illiterate appointed him as governor you will see the repercussions. The way inec appointed a drug Barron now Nigerians are suffering.

Owologbo:
May the finger you use in typing this nonsense wither.

obaidan:
That year, na only hotels be d business for imo state. I no know weytin dem dey use am do.

owobokiri:
That won't be enough for a man representing a political party that has given the whole of Africa some of the most daredevil executive thieves to walk the face of the continent.

They're in a hurry in Edo State because of the Court cases..It's a looting spree. Otherwise, how do you explain that drama of awarding a multi billion naira contract for that flyover abi ringroad on the first day in office?

When was the study for the contract done? Which government agency did the study and analysis? Or was the Obakpolor(I hope I won't bite my tongue) guy running the Obaseki government from outside? Obviously, it is a jamboree at Benin City at the moment

Ebubu6:
Inflation go hit Enugu well well with this overbloated budget.

Neighbouring Abakaliki dey to soak up the pressure sha.

kedeojo:
That is too your weak thinking, Oshiomole has opened the eyes of Edolite and can't be decieved. For a governor who has promised three vital flyovers in his first tenure and if delivered with other important infrastructure and you will still crap this nonsense. Maybe in your state, that is how things are currently be done. Edo don't forgive a governor during voting when he has done the wrong. We used Obaseki now as a scapegoat. You can't be fighting everyone upon non performance and think you will bring a successor.

vowiski:
It’s not easy to just hand over, it’s a private public MOU.

This is where Obaseki failed, he should have brought the palace in, but greed wan kill am.

Forgetting that the throne no get election and he will leave the seat one day.

vowiski:
This was exactly the same thing Obaseki of Edo was criticized of.

His roads do wash off in 6 months max. It’s a disgrace!

gbengayandipo20:
When APC INEC and APC leaders with the help of Police Force and illiterate on the people who doesn't understand basic things let alone governance, infact he can't even express himself by doing proper introduction what do you expect? He has no work experience, no administrative knowledge, no idea, he has never undergone any interview, training, no experience about due process let alone procurement, infact he doesn't know what procurement means. They are using him to get money used to help him rig election and make more money for themselves since they know he doesn't know anything.

Faber:
You entered as a governor... And me and you know say u no go school. You failed Maths and Economics woefully. 2 weeks into Office, boom, you don award Fly over at Ramat Park and other places... Was that captured in the current budget of the state as passed by the State Assembly for 2024...

Who is your commissioner of works and environment?
Who is your special adviser on town planning and rural development?
Was there any official bidding by contractors for the flyovers and road construction?

This is what Imo people witnessed under Rochas Okorocha. Most of his projects are death traps. His international conference center have been demolished by the State government because of poor quality. His flyovers are closed to traffic , his freedom square water falls are now ruins and relics of the past...

If I say Edo people no enter one chance this time around na lie I lie. They are in for a long ride and sadly all of us residents of Benin City and Edo State are in it together...

kettykin:
Huge lies. We have a Yoruba that owns a business school in Onitsha. These lies are disgusting and outdated. If you have your money, I can get you land in Independence layout enugu

Kingosytex:
Many are of the opinion that Bishop Abioye is good, they may be right. Though, I've never listened to him.
I've tried listening to Bishop Oyedepo a few times but I found his preaching very boring and tiring.
Pst. Chris teachings are just something else, I can stay a whole day listening to that man.
He is worded and his voice is magical too

Sccarrr:
Aladdin of Oyo kor Harry Potter of Ijebu ni 😹😹

OriOko88:
Did these guys even campaign? I never saw any campaign pics online. Ondo na one low key state sha

Amigoss:
Return of Agberos to Benin,Ring road is about to be a mess

Can anything good come out of APC

AntiZikist:
I keep saying it that the SE is a barren desolate place.

The NE is even more economically viable through agriculture and will even generate higher IGR if the governors there close in on tax

The SE is just dirt poor and dependant on diaspora handouts.
