You don't have to be good in English language to make a good governor. I don't even know why Oyo.political leaders are heel bent on using English , if you can't speak good English then just talk and communicate in your local dialect

- A governor in a country whose official language is English should communicate in his local dialect? You do realise Edo state has many local dialects? If so which one should he use to govern Edo state? grin

Yes I agree... If you are to go for medical operations and the doctor comes out speaking like this would you still give him to go ahead to operate on you?

Sometimes I wonder the kind people supporting APC. Lack of Education is really a disease.

Yes! English contribute to good governance. Won't he travel to woo foreign investors? Is it Edo or pigin he will be speaking with them?

Those who spoke eloquently, what have they done for Edo state?
?

Good governance has no correlation with good command of English.

Few days ago, some people posted on this platform that the governor elect have masters degree and many of you believed it.

But bad grammar shows poor knowledge of the basics. Ordinary "s" omission or addition can mean a totally different thing. A doctor should know that.

Lol
Okpebholo is going to be a governor. Abati with all his PhD and Shakespeare's class of English was a failed deputy governorship candidate in Ogun State. He now sits in a 4×4 meter studio to make noise every morning.
Jesu!

We have heard of 2 by 2 shop billionaires on Nairaland.

Which one be 4 by 4 studio again for God's sake?

God of chosen will have mercy on you.

Orji Uzor Kalu was worse than this in 1999 but he is still enjoying free federal money!
He picked up much later showing that practice makes perfect

That has nothing to do with doing well on the job...!

Leadership transcends grammatical fluency.

Honestly, a good leader just needs to have the welfare of his people at heart, and will place that priority over everything else.

Truth be told... You don't need erudition for that.

Give me a grammatically blundering leader who distances himself from corruption and wastage while delivering good governance over another speaking impeccable Queen's English while stealing and dragging the state backwards.


Sadly, even I know this might never be the case for any Nigerian leader today.

Such a tragedy it will be for Edolites, to have a governor who is lacking intellectually, morally and technically.

Now, that would be sad and embarrassing! embarassed

MadPolitician:
In our schools, especially in the universities, where we are skilled into different professionals in life, English is the language used.

If he is so terrible in that language, how can you vouch for his academic abilities, which are solidly essential for him to operate as a chief executive of a statehuh
Schools test written English and not spoken one.
There are people with poor oral but at least average writing skills.
He could be one of them.

In all fairness, election is over and one would expect the Arise team to nurse their wound and try not to weep more than the bereaved.

At least, Akpata has gone back to his job as well as Asue

I don't support how they conducted the election but eloquence English, has nothing to do with Governance. For Reuben to start checking who is right or wrong in English Language is trivial
I repeat this is the arrogance of the socalled educated Nigerian. We are so far down the rabbit hole of white man sychophancy and Uncle Tomism that we dont seem to understand we are a minority and our views, opinions or votes dont really matter in a democracy where the majority are not western educated. We are less than 20% of the population (if that) and this is why Nigeria will never work for the educated man in a democracy.

The irony is that the educated Nigerian is the one who promotes the system that brings about his downfall all in his constant bid to be like the white man.
