The only thing Yoruba about Bini is thier oba. The people themselves are a different tribe on their own.

Benin’s themselves are Yoruba. Their ancestors went enmasse with the Oba from Ife. Edo’s are not.

Akoko Edo is the largest single lga in Edo central and north,that's why they are a federal constituency on its own.if he was sensible,he would have picked from etsako.it seems your an obaseki supporter.despite all his chief of staff taiwo akerele did in 2020,he still failed in akoko

Etsako west is larger now because of its urban nature, Akoko Edo is 5% of the population of Edo state, you can check. Even if he was going to cut his head for the Etsako people, they still would not vote for him. Oshiomhole is there and is a factor, so why waste the slot, you can’t compare chief of staff position to deputy governor, it is not the same thing, anybody can appoint anybody chief of staff, it will only happen two times in a lifetime for an Akoko Edo person to be governor or deputy governorship candidate in a election cycle not when Bini, Esan,Etsako, Owan are there. So what Obaseki did for them is landmark and will realistically not happen again in a long while

Emir01:


You are far from history, Benins, Itsekiri are more Yorubas than Akoko Edo, you need to pick up a history book to know the relationship between Benin and Yoruba. Not because of boundary, culture, language and descendant.

Benins are not Yorubas

Emir01:


It's disgusting for people not to know their history. Benins, Itsekiri, Akoko Edos, some part of Kogi are Yorubas. They created mid-West to disorganised Yorubas politically.

This is just like claiming Efiks are igbos because they were part of the eastern region

garfield1:


He could have ignored shuaibu and compensated him same way late aketi did to ajayi..
Picking from etsako will prevent them from giving APC bloc votes.in 2020,shuaibu won a lot of votes for pdp in etsako and other parts of Edo north.when they started quarelling,APC cleared Edo north

Owan s are presently happy that their son is the speaker, an Akoko Edo is the deputy governor, the combined population of the Owan and Akoko Edo is about the same size as the entire Etsako numerically or a little
more. Before Obaseki, nobody considers these two groups for political positions, i doubt an Owan man has been speaker before, now Obaseki also made it possible for Akoko Edo to be deputy governor. It would certainly tilt their emotions and even their vote towards Obaseki for the fact they already thought of the Etsako people as dominating the politics of Edo north.

Whether Shaibu was impeached or not, he was not in good terms with the governor and not going to work for him anyway. Even the Ill treatment of the deputy governor prior to the impeachment would have still make Etsako to largely vote against him even if he was not impeached. Coupled with the Oshiomhole factor, he just knew there was nothing to grasp in Etsako

phoneport:
Obaseki the JAGABAN 1.0 of Edo, and WIKE 3.0
Shiebu WILL LEARN

I warned Shaibu here for a very long time - he never listened - I said last last Shaibu will go to Prison

IF he was humble and loyal - him for be deputy until November this year - now he is out of a job -- hmm and 7 months is enough time for Obaseki to humiliate him before Novemebr 12- 2024 when he will hand over

A man who supported and was like an elder brother to you- you went and be plotting coup against him - hmmmmm

IF he was careful and tacful - he would have lobbied for SSG under Asuen Ighodalo by November so at least he can be the in the scheme of things - now he is less than a WARD chairman in EDO POLITICS ntooooooor rrrr

garfield1:


Very funny.hes even an APC guy and is making such useless projections.he could have picked akerele or adjoto

A smart politician would have picked another etsako man or pick Adjoto if he must go akoko edo.

Omobayo was the LP candidate for house of representatives in akoko edo last year. He couldn't do much at all. He finished distant third behind akpatason and adjoto.

This election is APC to lose. Everything seems to be set for them to win it seamlessly.

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.

Awolowo administration spread reached South South then with education. He really helped them

Benin people are not Yorubas oga

Slytiger:

You should try and study the history of you people. Oba is not originally a yoruba word. That is why we have two kings called Oba. The Oba of Benin, The Oba of Lagos. The two of them bear Oba as a title, while the others be different title. Eg Oni of Ife, Alafin of Oyo, Alake of Egbaland, Aujala of Ijebuland. Olu of Warri, Deji of Akure etc. Oba is a Bini word that has metamorphose to mean King, which is now use Generally as king in modern day Yoruba.

Mind you I'm from both side and know alot about my people.

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

Maybe he wants to curry Akoko-Edo votes?

Oga,chief of staff in reality is bigger and more powerful than deputy governor who is just a spare tyre.

He didn't win there so how can he curry their votes

U obviously know nothing about Edo state

So what happens to adjoto?

They should compensate.

Omenlon:
what do say about Owan people that has predominantly Yorubas names too?

They share boundaries too.

Isokiscool:
Obaseki not paying workers salariesyou are a real definition of mumu.Obaseki is the only governor who pays 40,000 minimum wage in Nigeria and he pays salaries at most 24th day of every month.He even paid double salary december last year,so if you dont know anything about my state please keep shot or get out

My own is to advise and advise no be curse!

Stop voting urgly men, I don talk finish.

garfield1:

That does not change the fact that the deputy governor is the number 2 citizen of the state, and it is an elected position, the chief of staff will only be more powerful than the deputy governor if the governor wants and allows it, the deputy governor enjoys immunity and other privileges which the chief of staff do not

Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I dey wait for u

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

Wrong.

The Ijaws in the backwater of Ondo State have been there since time immemorial, with lot of intermarriage between them and the Ilaje and Ikale tribes. So no one gave the Ijaws to Ondo State they are not bread that can be shared at will.

As for the oil exploration, majority of it is found in the Ilaje LGA, and not in the Ese Odo area in which the Ijaws belong.

Who will vote pdp in Edo south,
APC also have an esan candidate

Please leave that dunce alone to continue to console himself. As it stands now APC will definitelly win the forthcoming gubernatorial election in the state.

Dobt mind dem.. They follow people wey deceive them dey .. Edo no be Lagos... Oya na where are they when Obaseki is imposing his own in pdp. Ordinary right shaibu exercise...
This is what happens when u follow people playing politics filled with bile, hate and bitterness.. Them don carry go meet fubara now where wike dey..

Historian i disagree with u, especially ondo state have the combination of ijaw and itsekiri
And for the oil go back to your books. Ilaje's are everywhere from delta to lagos cos of the ocean,
