Hmmn Obaseki let sleeping dog lie, a word is enough for the wise, you don't make more enemies you make more friends, your greatest enemy could someday be your best in African china voice, I don talk my own peace out.

favor914:
Ok a former pdp governor Lucky Igbinedion granted him the c of o in 2007 when Obaseki was in APC, Obaseki’s Oga was there for 8 years, he did not revoke the deed, then in 2021 the new pdp governor Obaseki revoked it? Well done, so who is the real enemy? Was Iyamu the only person given land, what of his pdp brother in crime Chris Orbih, has his own land gift been revoked?

You should use your brain, so because he is not the only thief he should be left free?

That is not how the law works.

Dis na witch-hunting, BAD POLITICS in Nigeria. Bo-kohari regime, now brodas don dey hunt brodas.

XaintJoel20:
The biggest mistake Edo people would have made would have been to vote Ize-iyamu as a governor.
That man is an irredeemable thief.
He got that land through dubious means.
Thank God for a governor like Obaseki.

Didn't you see 'right of occupancy' in the story?

misano:
APC is officially dead in Edo State .

You are obviously observing from a long distance. Even PDP in Edo State is no longer in support of Obaseki just that they don't want to voice out so as to avoid the shame of being taunted by the APC. Aren't you aware that Edo PDP has been writing letters to Uche Secondus asking him to take disciplinary actions against Obaseki for causing unending problems in the party? Why do you think Obaseki has not been able to constitue a cabinet now for almost 10 months since his reelection but always diverting attention away from that by demolishing buildings and revoking license of whoever criticizes him even within the PDP? When last did you hear Edo PDP make a public statement in defense of Obaseki's action or even write a rejoinder to criticisms targeted at Obaseki? Go to Benin City right now and you won't need anyone to tell you that even PDP supporters and members in Edo State are in regret mood for accepting Obaseki into their fold.

Antoeni:
From the way things are Going Now
The Oba of Benin Palace might be Revoke if care is not Taken

Agreed that Obaseki is crazy and reckless, but Obaseki's madness will be cured the day he tries nonsense on the palace or the traditional institution. Note that the Oba Palace predates even Nigeria talkless of Edo State Government.

favor914:
Ok Obaseki is better than himself & Oshiomole, or who are the APC Governors you are referring to?

You just took it out of my mouth. I don't know which APC he is referring to. The same APC Obaseki left and planning to return to. A product of godfatherism claiming to fight godfatherism while he himself is plotting to become a godfather. That monicker is obviously a comedian.

immyy:
Come over to Kogi State and see good governance.
I wish Edi could even borrow us Obaseki for just one month, at least the workers would be paid one full salary.

So you want your state to have nearly all her tertiary institutions closed down and staff owed salaries, and that the government operates without a cabinet indefinitely while the governor extorts you through N50,000 per house land use charge and lot other obnoxious policies? You seem to be observing Edo State from afar.

favor914:
9 months after still no commissioners? Indeed he is the best Governor in the whole of Nigeria.

Just leave him. He is still among those yet to see through the smokescreen.

favor914:
Don’t mind the senseless youths, instead of asking questions they are hailing Obaseki that will run back to APC in 2 years time, ordinary commissioners he can’t appoint, Useless betrayal, enjoy your second term, 9 months has already gone by, it is only counting down.

Well, while I perfectly agree that Obaseki is likely to end up as the worst governor of Edo State against whom even Lucky Igbinedion will smell of roses, Oshiomhole will still carry the blame for railroading Obaseki to limelight and imposing him on Edo APC in 2016 in defiance to all warnings and counsels from the Palace and lots of well meaning Edo State stakeholders in 2016. Edo State is presently suffering the consequences of Oshiomhole's ITK syndrome. Yes so far Oshiomhole remains the best thing to have happened to Edo State since its creation in 1991 going by his quality legacy projects, however, in terms of arrogance and self-opinionation, If you had the opportunity of ever interacting face to face especially towards the end of his second term you would wonder if it was the same Oshiomhole that was being talked about in the media with all glee and fancy. I used to be very ethralled by Oshiomhole's person considering his style of governance which desmonstrated a strong political will deployed to the benefit of the Edo State people, but I began to fancy him less beginning from the day a group of concerned natives of my LGA visited him officially to lay a complaint to him about an age-old injustice which my LGA had suffered. Oshiomhole's response was so bad, full of arrogance and verbal recklessness. At that point I knew his fame was already getting into his head and would definitely become his hubris in no time and so it really happened through his Obaseki choice against every advice and known antecedents of the Obaseki family line.

favor914:
War is not about who won the first battle, Oshiomole will have the last laugh, never bite from the hand that feed you.

Insightful. Obaseki bit the hands of Oshiomhole who fed him and literally held him by the hand and speaking for him in the 2016 electioneering campaign in which Obaseki was merely stammering and couldn't even put up any convincing argument before the camera. In fact without Oshiomhole's oratorial prowess behind Obaseki, Ize-Iyamu would have eaten Obaseki raw in the election back then. However Oshiomhole too is not innocent of betrayal considering how he haunted the same Ize-Iyamu who rallied the new Grace Group to provide Oshiomhole with the platform and resources to contest in 2007 and win.

XaintJoel20:

I guess you knew izeiyamu less than 9years ago. Izeiyamu was the Chief of Staff for during Lucky Igbinedion first four years and SSG during his second term.
That was when Izeiyamu got this land.
The land was acquired as government farm to train youths in farming, but was dubiously taken by izeiyamu.
If you know about the now moribund IO Farms, it's part of it.

Do you know how lands have been acquired now through Obaseki's Agriprenural Program which never produced any harvest and has since gone into oblivion? Are you aware that Obaseki acquired a parcel of land in GRA through the Oshiomhole administration?

Bouz:
Oshomole tried to make a fool of obaseki, Am happy he defeated oshomole, it's ize Iyamu that will suffer it las las.

With the posterity of all that is happening in Edo State now, namely; absence of cabinet for 9 months and still counting, closure of all state-owned tertiary institutions, demolition of the properties of even PDP members for insisting that he honours the agreements he reached with them before being admitted into the party, outstanding salaries of AAU lecturers, suddenly dishonouring the agreement he earlier on in 2019 had with Oba Ewuare II on the destination of the about-to-be-returned artefacts, near total abandonment of governance while still going on holidays in the US, sponsoring thugs to beat up those opposed to him within the PDP, abandoned first term projects here and there, taking the glory of private sector investments in the state, opening a parallel PDP state secretariat in opposition to that which admitted him into the party, revenue generation through harsh unilateral policies, taking over of the State Assembly premises by drug addicts, discontinuation of Red Roof Revolution project, reduction of AAU subvention from the N200 million of Oshiomhole era to just N40 million, refusal to conduct LGA elections, night life becoming history in Benin City as a result of withholding of funds meant to power streetlights erected by Oshiomhole, collapse of Edo State transportation company a.k.a. Comrade Buses, etc; is Oshiomhole not being vindicated for his quest to see him out of Osadebe House?

wink2015:
Obaseki is unrelenting.

He is just using KOBOKO to flog the Oshiomole boys.

The 12 legislators are no long welcome to hold their seat.

Betrayal have a heavy price which the like of the legislators are paying.

Not even the 7 legislators loyal to Obaseki do sit anymore. Or when last did you hear any news about proceedings in Edo State House of Assembly?

post=104041688:
Is this what he was voted to do?
No single project or development in Edo state since he has been voted in as a governor.
No single upliftment of a single Benin person?

He is still battling with the candidate he campaigned and defeated in the governorship election.
Orisirisi something!
Is that not foolishness and lack of leadership ideas?
Is this how to better the lives of Edo people?
Only fools and idiots will be happy with this news about revoking his fellow criminal occupancy, and it is obvious it is only the fools that are not even Edo indigenes that are celebrating this foolishness.
(You will see such mofos quoting us now...just watch it.)

Truly, Edo no be Dubai!

Sane Nairalanders, abi no be so?!

you do your own. You are online typing. You have never done anything for the people. You can't even do for your own family

zolajpower:

Illegal acquired as the SSG of Edo state then . In a saner clime this man should be behind bars now

And you haven't ever heard that Obaseki acquired a piece of land in GRA while he was head of Edo State economic team under Oshiomhole?

Deadlytruth:

He has relinquish it during the mop up exercise which also affected Odubu and the rest . Look I don't support any of them , before you tear me apart , I know very well you re from Edo state and are ready to argue . Because the little I know while in Benin is that an average Edo man is ready to argue and fight and me I don't have the energy

Yes an average Edo man is usually not comfortable with one-sided narratives hence his tendency to contend whenever he sees such. Other Nigerians usually gloss over one-sided and unbalanced narratives purportedly because they want peace and calm atmosphere but that exactly is why Nigeria is like this.
Then on the other issue: the mere fact that Obaseki relinquished the property at the verge of the commencement of his political witch-hunt clearly indicates that:
1 he would have held on to the property had the need for political vengeance never arisen.

2. he was a beneficiary of the same corruption and sharing of state's resources he accused Oshiomhole of hence there are many other ways he himself has milked the state of her resources but not yet known to the public because there is yet no basis for the extension of his vendetta to such realms.

This is not about what Obaseki is doing in PDP, it's about how the Edo people feel about APC. Edo people are not willing to give APC a 2nd chance. They rather try a different party than go back to APC. That's fact.

Relax, APC has lost Edo State. What has been done can't be reversed. PDP is looking forward to another candidate come 2024. The party plans to hold Edo for as long as possible. But as for APC in Edo, the party is dead.

I am not sure you are from Edo State. If you were, you would have known that lots of those who supported his reelection are presently confused. I will bring you back to this comment. It is just three years from now.

It is about how Obaseki is doing in PDP and running the state presently. Edo State people don't play partisan politics blindly like most other states in the country.
The truth is that Obaseki never won either of his two elections with a wide margin and that puts a question mark on your judgement about how Edo people view APC.

It is an influencer marketing strategy to compel offenders to do the right thing and it can be duly rewarding , though looking at it. Imagine the revenue the new geographic survey industry would generate from the news,
