The former Edo State governor and member
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
Professor Oserheimen Osunbor has recently
revealed the reasons behind his resolution to
leave the party.
Osunbor
Osunbor who moved abruptly to the All
Progressives Congress (APC), in a recent
interview with Daily Independent disclosed
that “first, the appointment that I had was due
to my personal relationship with former
President Jonathan. Because the same man
who claims to be god didn’t even want Jonathan
to give me that appointment. So it couldn’t have
been a party-influenced appointment. The
second one is that I’ve always supported
Comrade Adams Oshiomhole since the 2012
governorship election in Edo State, but the PDP
had been supporting him even before then. I’m
sure you know that the PDP traded off my
position as governor of Edo State. I will be
surprised if you as journalists do not know that
now. A number of PDP governors were targeted
and traded off for the opposition in order for the
party to have its way in some other places. If
there is a Nigerian who doesn’t know that, then
I will be surprised. So, PDP traded off my
position as governor of Edo State. So if PDP
government gave me an appointment as the
chairman of Nigerian Law Reform Commission,
was that really a fair compensation for removing
me? This is because at that time, the then
National Chairman of the party, Chief Vincent
Ogbulafor, boasted to me that the PDP had 28
states and that the PDP was not bound to win
everything, and that the PDP was ready to
concede some states to the opposition. He told
me if I didn’t succumb to Chief Tony Anenih I
ran the risk of losing my seat. And after I was
removed, he asked me: ‘You see what I was
telling you.
“Did you see what has happened?’ He said that
if I had listened to him, I wouldn’t have been
removed. When Adams Oshiomhole came in, he
gave three commissionership slots to Chief
Anenih in appreciation for the help he gave him
to become governor. That was before 2012. So
when people claimed that I supported Adams
Oshiomhole, I ask, who gave Adams Oshiomhole
more support, the PDP leadership or myself?
But, of course, I supported Adams Oshiomhole
in 2012 when it dawned on me that the PDP
leadership was not ready to win the election. I
knew that all the leadership wanted was to
trade with PDP in that election and amass
billions for themselves. And I was not prepared
to be led by people who were out to use the
party to enrich themselves. Then I said to
myself that if we have all decided to make
things very easy for Oshiomhole, why should I
withhold my support for him? After all, he has
done more work in four years than the PDP
could have ever done in all its years as a ruling
party in Edo State.
“As for the issue of begging Chief Anenih, the
newspapers have reported many times that I
have gone to beg him. Again I would be
surprised if you have not read those stories.
Personally, I don’t know what I did to him, other
than that, according to him, he borrowed N200
million to finance my election. I didn’t see any
N200 million that Chief Anenih contributed to
finance my election. But I’m aware that he
contributed N100 million to the PDP in Edo
State and as governor, I ensured that that
money was paid to him. So he was then saying
that we never paid him any money, that he
borrowed N200million. I do know that it was
against the electoral Act for any individual to
spend that kind of money in support of a
governorship candidate. So, is he saying that he
violated the Electoral Act and used 200 million
to install me as a governor? And if he spent
200 million of his money to install me as
governor, how much contribution did he receive
from the PDP national headquarters? The State
House also sent money to states for
governorship elections in the states. How much
was sent, I don’t know because the money was
not sent to me. And how much did he get from
other individuals and corporate bodies who
were contributing money for the election in Edo
State? I don’t know how much he was given,
and if he borrowed 200 million for my election
after all the contributions, I never saw any 200
million. But in the interest of peace, I ensured
that the one I knew he contributed was paid
back to him. So what offence did I really commit
against him that he doesn’t want to forgive? Of
course, it doesn’t surprise me because he had
told me before when the relationship was rosy
that he doesn’t forgive people.”
Osunbor noted that he knew that if he had
offended Anenih, he would not be forgiven
because the chief had told him that he never
forgives people.
“Although, he is not my God, and he cannot
influence my destiny or whatever God wants me
to become in life. So if I beg him does not
mean that he can make me anything, or can
prevent anything that God wants me to achieve.
I only asked for forgiveness in the interest of
peace and the development of our people,” he
concluded .
In the light of all these controversies
surrounding the party, Osunbor was sometime
ago indicted by the National Human Rights
Commission for perpetrating electoral
impunity.

Prof. Osunbor was imposed on us by OBJ against our preferred candidate former senator Odion Ugbesia, Anenih was forced to align with Adamu Oshiomhole.
OBJ should have allowed Edo state PDP to pick their preferred candidate not impose one on us.

Now you believe Pdp do impose candidates on the people.

It seems you have beef with Adams Oshiomhole.

It's a fair share Edo North rule the state.


Mind you, I was born and raised up in Esan Land, Utopia, Esan North East local Council

This is the first time Edo north has any input on our state, they've always been relegated. Esan and Bini people owns Edo state, Edo north belongs in Kogi state.
You may have been born in Edo north but your moniker screams Hausa/Yoruba.
Sule is not a name any one from Uromi would answer.

This miserable political Antagonistic Fool should shut the Bleep up!!

Seems he failed to understand that this an era of thorough sanitation in our great Party (the PDP)


We don't need any sort of stigmatized oaf in our great party....

Obasanjo's Leftover Unholiness in our party should be gotten rid of

INTROVART:

Like it or hate it, Edo north belongs to Edo state.
I understand that you are a Bini man.
Adams Oshiomhole 7 years in office is far better than Pdp's 9 years in Edo state.
I know what I am talking about.

I didn't claim to be Edo man o! I was born and raise up there, Uromi to be precise.

My parents still lives there up till now.
We built house there.

Lol. Guy calm down na. Yakubu is well known name in Uromi, so nothing wrong with Sule
Thank God Ugbesia did not get it. Osunbor is a better candidate anyday anytime. Anenih's greed killed PDP in Edo state. He would have waited till 2011 to remove Osunbor.

OBJ killed PDP in Edo state, Osunbor was an Obasanjo plant, Anenih had to maintain his grip on Edo state.

Am a Yakubu supporter but how many Yakubus do we have in Uromi? Yakubi is neither an Esan name nor a Christian name. Anyway he already said he was not from Esan land, you didn't have to bring it up.

owanle just know that one of the problems of PDP in Edo state is Anenih. PDP will rise again in Edo state but without Anenih. Oshiomole has really destroyed the state. So PDP need someone who is a politician and a technocrat not a noise maker like Oshougly

Obhia-aba listen, as an Esan man we can't fault Anenih, he helped in promoting Ugbesia to minister, Onolememe to Works, the list is endless. My wife is a teacher because of the efforts of Ugbesia, Nigeria operates on who you know not how talented you are.
I pray Mike Onolememe contest for governorship, its our turn to produce the governor.

Mike is a very good guy, one of the best things to have happened to Esan land. But u see, winning is something else. If we must win APC with their federal might, its better we give it to a Bini man. A Beni man that is popular, a good politicians, loyal over the years(not one that have been decamping to and fro) and a technocrat. Esans will naturally vote for PDP but the Binis won't.

Hmmm!

Bini again, Lucky Igbinedion comes to mind hahaha!

Lucky was just a sad choice. Hopefully we get someone worthy to represent PDP. We have to make that sacrifice and supourt them but we will take the deputy and other important positions.

Little wonder Ugbesia practically did nothing in his entire 8yrs stay in the Red Chambers. He was given an automatic ticket to run for the Edo Central ticket because he was asked to step down for Osunbor. What did he achieve as a Minister? He only went there to enrich himself!
