People who stay in Edo state know that the governor is working, from the construction of the New Edo secretariat to the on going construction of Ekewan road with drains at both sides of the road. Obaseki is an innovative governor with modern ideas to move the state forward.

Does this man lives in Edo State or what to be asking such questions because if he lives here he would have seen things with his eyes. Of course Obaseki can do better and he is trying to do that. Let us help him in achieving the dividends of democracy to Edolites. If revenue is now high and Edo State hasn't had it better,who made it possible if not Governor Obaseki

-Benin technical school renovated and completed
-Ogbe stadium under renovation and near completion
-Ekewan road from traffic light leading to Gelegele seaport under construction
-The new secretariat building at sapele road, completed and commissioned
-New Judiciary building at High court almost completed
-Oba Akenzuwa cultural centre renovated and looking new
-Edo innovative centre at I.C.E road
-Edo entrepreneurship centre at sapele road with 24 hours constant light
- Dredging of Gelegele seaport
- Ossiomo Power Plant

The above listed infrastructures and projects cost money and these are projects sited in Benin city alone apart from Ossiomo power plant, now think about other ongoing projects taking place across the state. Next time if you don't have information about what you are about to speak on, you ask for info instead of going about throwing tantrums.

Former Deputy Whip of the House of Representatives, Rep. Pally Iriase on Tuesday asked Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo state to account for the N250billion his administration collected as revenue in the last four years.

Iriase, who revealed this in a chat with journalists in Abuja, accused the Obaseki government of perpetrating a reign of jackboot politics instead of concentrating on delivering dividends of democracy to Edo people. 

The APC chieftain added that the N250 billion that had accrued to the state is based on figures obtained from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) and the Federal Ministry of Finance.

According to him, the figures shows that the Edo state government had received over N251billion in three years to November 2019, excluding deductions. This amount, he added does not include receipts  on account of Paris Club refunds, the several bail-out funds and other receipts like grants, loans and counterpart funds. 

Similarly, he explained that the figures do not also include funds of the 18 local governments usually annexed by the Edo state government. “Edo state has never had it so good in revenue receipts. In fact, since January 2018 to date, monthly revenues have been a low of over N7billion and a high of over N8billion each month.

“All we have on ground to show as the performance of the government are roads without drains and repainted primary schools.

“Against the backdrop of high earnings, secondary schools in the state lack teachers, health care services are in limbo, without infrastructure and inadequate manpower.

“In short the developmental masterplan of which Gov. Obaseki was a key contributor in desiging has been abandoned. We the Edo people are now suffering from arrested development,” the former secretary to the Edo state government asserted.

He maintained that instead of the governor to deliberately halt the ongoing plunder, he has resorted to jackboot methods to repress Edo state citizens from voicing out their frustrations and unhappiness with the goings on in the state.

“This is why it is only from Obaseki and his hirelings that we hear of the contrived crisis in Edo state.

“The problem a lot of us have with Gov. Obaseki is that of lackluster performance. The contrived crisis with Comrade Adams Oshiomhole is a ploy to divert attention from the government’s non-performance,” Iriase stated.

This is the problem I always have with Nigeira ,,,
When a party is doing better than ur party which once ruled the state we always find a way to rubbish them
Yes obaseki is doing well interms of road ,salary payment,the only problem he is having now is drainage /erosion and I know he is going to be less sympathetic when it comes to tackling that because most huxs are build on erosion sites and huxs may get removed

Even if he chop money ,and he is performing well we should let him be ...that's the truth

Apart from the Ossiomo Power Plant, all the other things you listed are things which ought to be done by the Local Government Office. Renovation of buildings is not the work of a state government.

Let us stop rejoicing to the roof-tops over mediocrity, please.

Right now, Oshiomole isn't talking; Obaseki is shouting himself hoarse that Oshiomole should not enter Edo State. By the time the battle ends, Obaseki would understand that politics is not noise making but strategy.

But you already said I have no iota of the duties and responsibilities of a state government, so would anything I say matter in the light of your biased thinking? The duties spelt out by the constitution as it concerns the House of Assembly, has he done it? Understand the meaning of "infrastructure" first, thereafter we can have a decent conversation.

Do not worry yourself in replying the guy above. Look at the name, you will know he is an IPOB member who always support bad governance in order to discredit the present Nigeria government. Instead of criticizing a governor like Abia state governor they will not.

This iriase man is a stupid man. Why don't they ask oshiomole how he looted funds meant for central hospital. Becos obaseki doesn't want to open that can doesn't mean he is afraid. Buhari commissioned an empty hospital. Edo state is moving forward and we know it. The likes of oshiomole, this man Nd ize iyamu just want to put the state in their pockets. Majority of the people living in Benin are not complaining about their governor. If the deputy governor who happens to be relative with oshiomole is fighting him, it means oshiomole has failed the people of Edo state. Let obaseki work. He doesn't want to share state funds to criminals who call themselves politicians.

I asked you because you clearly stated that Renovating a school owned by the state government wasn't the state government's duty, or the renovation and expansion of ekewan road isn't the duty of the government, Same with the building of a new state secretariat housing civil servants working for the Edo state government and not the local government workers, so hence i asked what type of projects do you want the government to engage in.

Mind you infrastructure means the basic facilities needed for a community to function properly, If a school, road or building housing the Government's workforce are not infrastructures, then i wonder what is. Therefore i ask again, what type of projects do you want the Edo state governor to engage in ?

What moral standing deos Parly Iriase have to begin to question performance and prudence?

Parly in the last twenty years has held public office starting from local govt chairman to state assembly speaker, also he was the secretary to the state govt and finally member, House of Representatives

My question is , in what significant way has Parly affected his village(Otuo) let alone his constituency in Owan East?
Apart from building high walled country homes and gracing the village roads with his latest automobiles, how as 20yrs of the people's mandate played off?

I know a lot that Obaseki is doing, but of all I will pick on the most important which is human capital development, by this I mean youth empowerment and the overhauling of our educational system. Taking a walk into any primary or secondary public school in Edo State will blow your mind. You will see for yourself well trained and motivated teacher taking our future leaders through the path of freedom and self reliance, for me,this is worth everything..

Have you heard of social infrastructure, have you heard of health infrastructure? Do you know that the health policy is a form of infrastructure? Do you also know that security is a form of infrastructure? They can be physical or in form of policy. Sorry, I am working now and won't be able to say much, but what is the government's business in owning and running a primary school? Most of the things you listed are things that should be handled by the local government. It's like saying patching a road is a state government project that should be celebrated. The state government should intervene when the project becomes too big for the local councils.
