I just hope this news is true......big congrats to him.....he fought like a man......let's say NO to god fatherism.......it destroys democracy......and I hope he works more in his second tenure......God bless Edolites.

Olugbanko:
lol...obaseki is actually in soup! the game will be played in such a way that APC would adopt direct primaries method after PDP must have concluded their primaries by which time it would have been too late for obaseki to decamp to PDP. so,who loses?

noleflendum:
He will loose as far as he has our aggressive idiotic jobless brothers total support

Sokosuji:
tissue upon tissue of lies.. Kabaka and his gang were purely PDP thugs who only decamped to join oshomole when he got his mandate through yaradua magnanimity and re election because of Jonathan's gentlemanliness

iammo:


Obaseki should had being a man and not a coward, why seek help from people and agree them of loyalty only to turn around and start fighting them.. atleast Seyi Makinde has zero Godfather because he spent his own money failed 2wice and tried again same with buhari, but obaseki used Oshiomhole's connection , money and all now he is denying oshiomhole

Sokosuji:
Nobody go bear wetin obaseki bear for oshomole hand.. He said so himself.. The man was simply compressed to a wall..oshomole himself won't take it from anybody..Obaseki is a complete gentleman. U didt have to make up those tissues of lies just to paint oshomole good and obaseki as villain

ZombiePUNISHER:



See them....
There is nothing democratic about these people.... They are all tyrannical beings ..illiterates

No sane person will endorse Godfatherism

just name 5 things Obaseki bared? abeg name am.. people like fashola went through similar situation and still rose to become super minister.. so mention 5 things Oshiomhole did to obaseki

Maxymilliano:
It is not yet uhuru as the endorsement covers only the primaries, as he will need to slug it out with Ize Iyamu in either a direct or indirect primaries.

He will need all the luck he could get to cross the primary hurdles.

Sokosuji:
I am not obaseki pro .. Neither am I from Edo state.. But I detest high handness/oppression.. Get your facts right and stop spewing ridiculous lies like kabaka fought federal soldiers barehand to install oshomole and obaseki

as ussual when they dont have anything to say they start changing goal post

After April 6 we shall know if truly his endorsement would get him a ticket, {Only delegates list compiled by National chairman can vote in Edo Primaries, INEC would only accept primary result from Oshimhole's NWC }

to the scumbargs insulting Oshiomhole and suppoting Obaseki may you encounter an Ingrate like Obaseki..
The problem is not even with Oshiomhole but Obaseki and how he treats people who fought to make Edo an APC State..

When Oshiomhole was running helter skelter like an orphan trying to win Edo from PDP some people like James Ibori secretly used his closeness with Yaradua to help him, which Oshiomhole repayed his kindness with a land in Edo GRA and Ibori built it to taste, what did Obaseki do when he got power, he demolished Ibori's house because Ibori didn't even recognize him as the small boy that he is,

When PDP Federal Government refused to protect Oshiomhole and his supporters back then, their only seciurity was thugs like Kabaka and his gangs, who would face PDP and federal police and fight it rough and rugged till Oshiomhole could campaign every corner of Edo, now Kabaka and his gang that many died and got sentenced to jail are now labeled a tout and hooligan , with their investment and hotels being demolished

part of Oshiomhole's cabinet like Ize Iyamu were the most qualified to succeed Oshiomhole but Oshiomhole picked Obaseki above the real strong party men that worked tirelessly, fought blood for blood with PDP, since Oshiomhole knew what he did was wrong he called Obaseki to give Juicy Post to this guys which Obaseki did, only for him to start treating them bad and later sacked them,

the House Honourables that made Oshiomhole have a successful 2 terms governance also decided they want to compensate one of their own with speakership, what did Obaseki the ingrate do? he forced his own candidate as speaker through minority vote and locked up the State House

Obaseki would claim there is no money to party member loyal to Oshiomhole and doesn't give them contracts yet he and his aide got caught by Interpol trying to launder $2million dollars to france

this is why nobody wants to help anybody in politics other than their family because soon after they get there they become Don

iammo:


may everyone you ever helped in life treat you the way obaseki treated oshiomhole.. can I hear a loud amen from you?

Correcto:
The passion in your stupidity should be a case

Cvesta:

You sound so aggrieved. Which juicy position or contract did you lose? You talk like Oshiomole fought PDP Alone. If oshiomole broke the law to compensate anyone, the incumbent governor has the right duly vested by the people to correct such ills

why trade insult when i can press the report button and have Mynd44 deal with it

Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki, has been endorsed for a second term, POLITICS NIGERIA exclusively gathered.

This development is coming as the rift in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is being laid to rest.

This paper reported how the rift between the national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole and Mr Obaseki, had posed a threat to his re-election as the Governor.

However, a reliable source, who is also a close ally of Mr Obaseki told this paper that since the party has made reconciliatory moves, it has agreed to return Obaseki as the Governor.

Meanwhile, when this paper reached out to the spokesperson of Obaseki, Crusoe Osagie, on Thursday, he refused to comment.

Nonetheless, he debunked allegations that Obaseki plans to join the Action Alliance (AA) since some party stakeholders were opposed to his ambition.

"They are all lies," he told our reporter.

Also, he confirmed that the National Chairman has settled scores with Mr Obaseki following the intervention of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Recall that the reinstated Deputy National Chairman, North, of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC Sen. Lawal Shuaibu, said for the party to make headway in the forthcoming governorship elections in Edo State, the incumbent governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki remained its best bet.

Mr Shuaibu who was returned to the party after the Comrade Adams Oshiomhole-led National Working Committee NWC extended an olive branch to all officials on Wednesday, spoke to journalists about the chances of Obaseki.

Asked whether the altercation between the governor and Comrade Oshiomhole was a time bomb waiting to explode during the elections, Shuaibu said, “It is not a time bomb. We all heard President Buhari during the last NEC meeting announce that any governor who has performed deserves a second term."

Guy you strict o, you wan finish that guy life.

But seriously I have condemned obaseki's action several times, how can he be so wicked, he forgot so soon how Oshomole supported him to become what he his today

iammo:



Then there shouldnt be cry of witch hunt if Ohiomhole exercise his franchise and freedom in deciding to support Ize Iyamu

Lostz:
the so-called APC members he abandoned, are they up to 500?

bhest:

Oga don't sugarcoat this thing you and I knows well the role of godfatherlism in Nigeria politics. It's true oshiomhole and his likes isn't stoping people from exercising their franchise but they sure don't make it count.

ramon212:

You are Yoruba. You stay in Lagos and talk non sense. Yoruba people support oshiomole because he is tinubu boy. It's funny how Yoruba people know more about Edo state than those living their. Direct or indirect primaries. Obaseki will win. We are solidly behind him.
