Yorubas are there just as ijaws are in ondo na.
It would have even been better if obaseki picked senator domingo obende except if this guy was nominated by hon Adjoto

Obaseki is looking for the person he can oppress and control, that was why he went for this young man.

I like the drama

Politicians!

True,he can't contend with strongman shuaibu but this boy has no political capital.he is a liability

This same things was what happened with Tinubu and Femi Pedro, he was impeached in the die minute and replaced so that he won't enjoy the benefit of pension and other juicy loot

seunmsg:
Why do they all have Yoruba names in Edo state? All their leading aspirants are either Olumide, Olayinka or Akintunde. Now, Omobayo is their deputy governor. If not for Yoruba, then for no get anything for that state. Yorubas just dominate everywhere.

Bearing Olumide doesn't make you Yoruba just like bearing William doesn't make you English. When Tayo Akpata was going to be given some national role as a "Yoruba" man, Yorubas were the one that screamed that he is not Yoruba that Yorubas don't spell Akpata with a K.

Akoko Edo people near yoruboid names.i think some of them are yorubas

The origin of Akoko Edo is Yoruba. And Yorubas are kings of Benins. In the past, there's intercultural activities

So fast, it's obvious the name have been penned down before.

Bye Bye, Philip Shaibu

Omobayo, another Yoruba! Truly, nobody can curse those whom God has blessed. Yoruba people are truly blessed!

DenreleDave:


Yorubas everywhere

He's an Edo indigene please. Yoruba first names are scattered all over Niger delta (Ijaw, Itsekiri etc) but they're not Yorubas.

Another political blunder from obaseki.instead of him to pick a strong man like Kabiru adjoto another betrayer or senator alimikhena or pascal ugbome to pacify orbih camp and etsako people or pick the current speaker to curry owan votes,he has picked a political nobody like himself.everything is working in favour of senator okpebholo the incoming governor

U got ur point PERSONALLY correct, but on d stand point of politics, it's loyalty that is chosen ahead of popularity....... If u are too strong sef, dey will look for a way to block ur rise into power(check d fact in every 36 state including d federal government). No politician want a strong politician by his/her side, rather they want a LOYAL politician

StOla:
That singular move is to eliminate Akoko-Edo support for Olumide Akpata.

You don talk am finish
LP don finish
This Na LP man
He contest for house of rep

Obaseki appoints an Obidient as Deputy Governor.

Yorubas everywhere

Na Yorubas suppose dey talk we SW/SS but it's our noisy neighbors that always attach themselves to the SS.

Okpebholo and denco fine

I hope Governor Obaseki calculated this his political moves well and carried out rounded, if not he will bite his fingers.
This guy seems unknown and a political gladiator is needed by him at this season.
Time shall tell.

Him tenure never finished?? Which one him the pick Deputy again 🤷🤷🤷🤷

Dittodat:
God Fatherism ok now.
Edo no be Lagos for real

You see everywhere dey quiet, no call for UN, USA, OAU, UNESCO, and CO to come and call Tinubu to order for allowing a Governor to remove his deputy just because he dared to run for office.

Omo, na hypocrisy go kee so many for Naija, no principles just self-interests.

Where is Racoon, em no open mouth, Edo no be Lagos Indeed.

I agree but you must find a balance.a candidate needs a politician or running mate that will complement or cover his weaknesses.you can give your loyallists other posts na.okpebholo choose denco because of strength not loyalty

Someone he can always slap and bully

Naija politics

Nawa4nl:

Ijaws were not originally in ondo

They were given to the south west as a reward for supporting the North during the civil war.

That way Ondo got Oil fields

Where was ilaje and ese odo lga before state creation

Akokos aren't Yorubas according to your history knowledge, right?

Who told you Mr Omobayo is a political nobody? He actually won the Akoko Edo House of Reps election last year. With this appointment, I can assure you that PDP would get nothing less than 70% of Akoko Edo votes in the forthcoming guber. polls.

lol them fine like you?

Edo was part of the old Western Region while the rest of South South was part of the old Eastern Region.

He actually won how? Pdp candidate was Adjoto not omobayo.if obaseki and obi could not win akoko Edo,is it ighodalo?

Elliotwaveforec:

He's an Edo indigene that's all I know.

I don't know the history of Akoko Edo, but we have "Akoko" all over Ondo state as well, so I get the cultural similarity. But when it's all said and done, he's an Edo indigene and that's all that matters.

Obaseki too wicked
