Obaseki. I expected the governor to show proof of the people who Oshiomhole nominated. Talk is cheap. I do know leaders in each local government choose representative that is why Oshiomhole has followers. It is like saying the president picked all the ministers. Obaseki honestly does not understand politics.

To me the biggest revelation in that statement is the governor acceptance and happiness that a Benin man is at the verge of loosing the NDDC chairmanship position just because he sees him as an opponent.
I am sure the Oba will be happy with Obaseki for fighting against the interest of the Binis and also the people will be happy. In his desperation to fight Oshiomhole and cling to power he has forgotten the purpose of power is to attract development. Odubu is a representative of Edo in that board. Obaseki has decided to openly fight the Edo agenda just because of second term.
He honestly has lost the palace and the remenant of the Benin support.
The question he should ask himself is who looses if Edo looses the NDDC chairmanship position. It is Edo. Oshiomhole can nominate an ally from Delta or Ondo if it is zoned there. Edo alone will loose. It just underlines how selfish he is and it is good people can now see clearly who has the interest of Edo at heart.

Obaseki wants Oshiomhole to behave like a god father. I am sure if Oshiomhole says today automatic second term for Obaseki the fight will stop is that not the character of a godfather? Obaseki should compete with others in a primary it is democracy if people decide to support another it is democracy.

When Tayo Apkata was in charge of PTF, how many Binis or roads did he built in Edo state. The only one i know of is TV road.
When Gaius Obaseki was NNPC chairman. Did Bini people benefited from. It.

Oshiomole should leave Obaseki alone, because. When he was the governor then, nobody acted as Godfather to him.

it was in his leaving room he made u governor also now

niaralandtopuser:
lawmakers position already secured till 2023. obaseki is pro buhari while osho is for tinubu. buhari allowed Ambode removal because he needs tinubu support but now election is done

. Do you think Obaseki can win without full APC support in federal and Edo? I don't think so...When it is time Buhari will have no contribution in it

franchasng:
Edo state is not Yoruba land nor Lagos where one eyed man dictates for millions of able bodied men and women and they remain foolishly obedient and happy, so stick to Yoruba Tinubu sponsored Lagos politics

pls shut up.

Okay, who nominated Crusoe Osagie?
Is he just doing his job or just lacking decency and manners?

Can development take place in Edo State with this kind of in fighting?

When Tony Anenih was minister for works Edo had the best federal roads,the Benin bypass was constructed. When other states are clamouring to have the position we should not b the once bringing down our own. We are first Edo before any other thing.
For u who accuse Oshiomhole of wanting to be godfather do you realise the quarrel started because Oshiomhole as the national chairman refused to allow the governor handpick candidate for 2019 elections?instead ensured primaries were conducted? Do you realise even Obaseki said he would have threatened violence just like Yari? Do you also know it is against inec rules for states to conduct primaries for general election? I am sure u know if Oshiomhole says Obaseki gets second term ticket no primaries this fight will end? Now tell me who wants godfather? The one who insists on primaries or the one who wants to hand pick candidates and get automatic ticket himself?

This Adams Oshiomole's face is somehow. Sometimes I feel scared when I look at it. And his eyes are as if he is planning for somebody.

This is the most ungrateful and uncultured statement I've read of in recent time, and this is why people consider politics as a 'dirty game'.

Personally i detest disloyalty and treachery. If you cannot handle the burden of demand, don't agree with the pact in the first place.

Baba, gbenu e soun joor! Pple like you are the one destroying our beautiful nation. How can some hold a whole state in his palms? You're here saying rubbish. Olofo!

Does this make any sense to you? Read it again!

franchasng:
The only people that have sense in Yoruba land are Oyo state people and Otta people from Ogun state, and few from Ekiti state, the rest are Tinubu puppets waiting for Tinubu to cough out so they can swallow


For your info, Lagos is not a Yoruba state, it is a cosmopolitan state developed by Colonial masters and Nigerian federal government.

If you want to brag about Yoruba land, please use Oyo, Ogun, Osun, Ekiti, Ondo, stop using Lagos to brag because it was not built by the Yorubas, it is what it is today because of Nigeria's federal government, not because it is a Yoruba state.

It is only geographically located in Yoruba region but never a Yoruba state

Now I can see the relevance of Okija shrine

lots of sense in a piece... idolatry is evil though

michealewela:

Nicely written,, are you in Edo?

No never even set foot in Edo before and I've not been resident in Nigeria for more than 18 years.
The fact is information is very available and rational would allow anyone who is willing and sincere to connect the dots.

Are you not tired of losing... you said the same thing in the case of Ambode... Pushed him on to his political Oblivion.

Now you have pitched tent with another political loser..

E no dey taya you to support losers.

What miracle are you wishing for Obaseki that is making you run your mouth like this

Excellent job.

So jobless that you keep track of every comment on Nairaland.

What should I call you, troll or robot?

CSTR2:

Why should oshiomhole decide the political and economic future of a whole state because the people of edo state gave him their mandate on a new party?
Is he George Washington?

When did he become Lee kuan yew? What has he done?

Obaseki is already outstripping him in the achievement department, so why shouldn't obaseki lead the party if we are to go by godfatherism?

I don't know if it's the same Edo, but from credible information Obaseki is doing well but his impact on the status and future if Edo can not be compared to Oshiomole. Obaseki is brilliant and true to that he was recruited by oshiomole for that sole purpose.


But he needs to be more humble , as Fashola said during his ministerial screening in 2015 "met we never be tested" Obaseki has been tested and he has failed woefully.

[Hahahaha is it only the binis that will win obaseki the elections? Other ethnic groups like owan,akoko edo,ishan and etsako nko? Say what you know and not what you think. I pray PDP brings a credible bini man na there matters go set. quote author=Chidorx60 post=85118857]Obaseki has the support of we the Edo's and I can say very well that you are not from Edo state....so stop saying trashing about what you don't know..... Despite Obaseki' s interest in exposing that devil of a man called oshoimole....he also has never failed in his duties as a governor when it comes to development
...besides Oshoimole is not a Benin man
....and this is just the beginning of his downfall.....so peace out supporter of evil[/quote]

Obaseki Obaseki Obaseki be warned!!!

Oshiomhole has shown himself to be a person of questionable character. It's this Oshiomhole that publicly declared that any corrupt folk that joins his party the APC will be forgiven of his sins. Under his chairmanship, his party has been brazenly rigging elections.
I believe the Edo State Governor. Oshiomhole is an immoral being.

kahal29:
Gov Obaseki Now I know you lack wisdom. You see this your statement below


“A case in point is the recent incident when the President was away from the country and Oshiomhole got top officials at the Presidency to approve the composition of the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission, made up of his cronies, apparently in violation of the existing rules.


The above statement will be your greatest undoing in this fight. In order to get at Oshiomole you are dragging top officials of the presidency into your personal issues joining the leagues of Aisha. When these top officials of the presidency will come after you on election day don't wail cos you have unknowingly incured their wrath

Keep quiet and stop supporting immorality.

Maybe the Governor is not a tribalist.

seunmsg:
This is a very disgraceful press statement from Obaseki. Did he complain to anybody when Oshiomhole picked him from nowhere to become the governor? If they had agreement on how to make political appointments into his cabinet, why is he now blackmailing Oshiomhole? Why betray a cause you voluntarily signed up to?

Even if he’s going to fight the party national chairman, it should not get this low and embarrassing. I’m beginning to think that Obaseki is planning to decamp to PDP. He’s only trying to destroy the party from within before defecting. The president and the national leadership of the party should act fast. Obaseki should back down or be expelled from the party.

Hypocrites that will support immorality by one and still condenm it by another.

Comprehension is a big problem in Nigeria. The statement was a reply to d false allegation Oshiomhole made against the Governor. Oshiomhole lied against the Governor that he has only 1 commissioner in Obaseki's cabinet, now Obaseki is telling us Oshiomhole lied, that Oshiomhole compiled d list himself.. U must think before u attack every message. Don't just condemned because u can type on ur phone.

Seunaj05:
Osho is a typical power drunk African man. He deserves all the humiliation

You should simply ask Obaseki himself, he was also a product of the same sitting room nomination

That's not joblessness.... There's a search function on nairaland...Learn to use it. Also note that Internet doesnt sleep. Your quotes of years past can be dug out in a second

Obaseki, even though he had been with Oshiomole since 2008, still behaves like a political neophyte. Just reading his press statement tells a lot about his character and his person and his lack of political credentials to manage Oshiomole.

Who would want to support this loud mouth knowing he is acoustically unstable? Learn from Fashola, he never publicly spoke against Tinubu. He is still celebrated today.

Obaseki may not get a second term. And that might mark the end of his career in politics.

are you aware that oshomhole took udubu that he comdem upon his loyalty to him in 2016,, to fight his own fellow brother obaseki. You just take a look at the people at epm side (oshomhole party) they are all past failures,,, Samson osagie, imasuen lucky,, general Charles, ize iyamu,,tony kanaka, nomoless, chaba, imuse, ,igodomigodo..these are oshomhole infantry. Then tell me why are they fighting this man, you expect a sitting Governor not to fight back. Pls don't drag the palace to it. Oshomhole insulted all the people to help him to get his mandate. But he later humiliated them on national TV. Heaven didn't not fall all in the name of no godfatherism in Edo state. We were all happy then. Now tell me what is happening? He his now want to play god.

Who do we believe now? Why is Obaseki just telling us now?

Lagos was built by your fathers na, they were the labourers that carried the bricks.

As at when Lagos had an airport, the entire SE didn't have a single bank. As at when Ibadan had a TV station, France didn't have a TV station.

As I said, when we are discussing leadership, no Igbo man should put mouth cos leadership has collapsed in the SE. You are incapable of electing sensible people to lead you, so you should shut up.[/s]

Shut up afon
