PIMPAR: Kindly ignore that toddler. Most of them just comment out of ignorance. Trump was once a Democrat, later move to independent party before joining back to Democrat and finally back to Republican.
There are many of them here but we will always try our best to put the records straight. Not because of them, but those that will fall for their lies.
Kyukastan: I learnt Donald Trump's lineage is republican and same applies to most politicians in the USA be it Democrats, they stick to the party of their birth. They also believed in the ideologies of their parties.
But all politicians in Nigeria are harlots, jumping here and there for selfish reasons.
God bless Nigeria.
Donald Trump was a democrat member until 1987... and between 1987 till now he has changed party more than 3 times..
cbngov01: the one he hasnt joined since? some politicians have class!
Do you know thatFFK was in APC before? As at 2014 he’s a member of APC and a critic of GEJ. Funny how some people don’t know much about Naija politics.
egopersonified: Can the 1st runner up in APC or the 1st runner up in the governorship election of 2016 take obaseki or inec to court to claim victory as a result of this certificate issue?
youneedjesus: If he is not qualified to contest in one party then he is not qualified to contest in any party. Or are the qualifications different for different parties? The question we should be asking is how did he escape disqualification in the first elections. If truely his certificates are not authentic then INEC has to explain what happened in the first election that he was not disqualified. Furthermore, if his certifiedcate is 'fake' then he should cease from continuing as governor forthwith. Finally, if APC says he is not qualified after presenting him as a qualified candidate then it puts a question mark on APC's sincerity and intergrity and they can not be trusted to present a candidate with correct certificate. It only means that every of their APC's candidate cannot be trusted. My humble submission. All Nigerian politicians need JESUS if not things will never change. God bless.
In 2016 He submitted his SSCE and affidavit that his certificates got lost. But in 2020 those Certificates resurfaced with discrepancies. The NYSC carries Obasek while the Uni carries Obaseki. Where I have issue with him is that all this years he didn’t approach NYSC for the correction. Now we want to see how PDP will correct that mistake that it won’t hurt them back.
Mysticwebb: Abeg leave matter, all politicians are betrayals.[b]Didn't Oshomole betray his godfather and even publicly boasted about it?[/b]Or is Oshomole's grandfather also a betrayal? From our political history, it is clear that a successor to a governor always fight to break free from him and become his own boss. Some succeed while some fail. At the end, we will know Obaseki's fate.
At the bolded. Who is Oshiomhole’s Godfather in Edo.
I will first write NYSC to issue me another certificate that will show my name spell correctly. If he go to another party to contest and by mistake he win (which is not possible). All the second place need to do is go to court and get him removed with the discrepancies on his certificate. NYSC carries Obasek and Uni certificate carries Obaseki. I think he should stay out in APC and support anybody that emerge, so that he can still have some political relevance. People comparing his case with Benue are missing something. Ortom didn’t have face off with any of the party hierarchy like Obaseki did. Benue election came during the general election and APC attention was divided in to more than 30 states. But in September APC will focus all its attention on Edo. Let us remember what happened to Fayose and his candid in Ekiti.
waziri4biz: Oshiomhole did not clear him to contest because he was sure obaseki would have won in the so called direct primaries and guess how they knew this.. They tried making local government and ward executives of the state to dump obaseki but they all kept refusing which is why they made sure he doesn't even participate in the primaries
You’re dreaming. Obaseki and the2 others were disqualify because they don’t even want them in the race. Obaseki should go to another parry and contest to let us see how popular he is.
SarkinYarki: He will only fail if Oshiomole employs osun voter filtering and voter intimidation using Federal might which is very likely but if Obaseki studies the voter filtering well and finds out how to neutralise it he will sail through
You don't know that Obaseki is alone in this case.. Those Party excos supporting him will not decamp with him... They will rather beg Oshiomhole to retain their position in APC than follow Obaseki to another party and become just a party member.
senatordave1: From the state party chair comments,he won't follow obaseki
Not only the Party Chairman almost all the Exco in his faction will stay put in APC.. Once he decamp to another party they will all go and beg Oshiomhole. Obaseki didn't learn the roots of politics before he starts claiming political big boy.
I said it 2 days Ago here that majority of his aides, House Members and Party excos will not go with him.... Shuaibu is the biggest loser because He was scheming to succeed Obaseki but now they will leave unceremoniously.
This is the Same Idahosa that was praising PMB for snapping photograph with Obaseki, saying PMB have endorsed the Governor and nothing anybody will do to stop him from wining the party ticket and his second term.
He can not advise Obaseki to take things easy. Now let's see where they will push him to.
If you’re not stupid or senseless you should be able to counter what I posted about the court affidavit Obaseki presented in 2016. You and your co travelers have pushed him into the pit you pushed Saraki,Atiku and co into.
Obaseki submitted a court Affidavit in 2016 that his credentials got lost. 2020 the credentials resurfaced with some discrepancies. His released NYSC certificate reads OBASEK and his Uni Certificate has OBASEKI. That alone will make the court remove him like the case in Bayelsa.
drskyfly007: supreme Court judgement on buharis certificate issue covers Obaseki...
Obaseki is eminently qualified..You can check up the minimum requirement to contest governorship position in Nigeria according to the 1999 constitution.
PDP will gladly accept him and he will win.
Truth is that he was disqualified cos of politics..
Did you see his NYSC certificate that it’s reads Obasek and his University certificate reads Obaseki. Same case PDP is struggling with in Bayelsa Governorhip tribunal.
RTSC: Pdp won the presidential election there. And I hear they dominate the state Assembly.
If true, that means they voted for obaseki and not necessarily the apc.
The bolded is not true. Obaseki refused to allow 14 APC members access into house since last year that they won election. Even when the President and NASS ask him to re-inaugurate the house, he refused. APC is the majority. The
moderatedguy: How by not begging?.,....by not allowing thugs take over Edo state.
Do you know that out of 24 house members Obaseki inaugurated only 10. And he has been working with those 10. Now tell me if what he did Is good denying 14 constituencies representation in the house. Is that not dictatorship
1. Going against the decision of NWC who choose direct primary. The Governor and claiming it will not hold in his state. 2. Issuing a order that people should not gather for political reasons. 3, Using his cronies to obtain injunction stopping the parry from organizing primary election in edo. 4. Not allowing 14 APC house of assembly members access to the house.
spinreel: With all due respect to your views, you didn't get what I posited. I'm not saying they won't have a candidate (Zamfara did); I'm saying with the polarization of the party in the state; it would be futile. I'm no party member; just an advocate of good governance.
The bolded. Because of the polarization of the party at the state level is the reason the NWC opted for direct primary but Obaseki want indirect which will make the party go the Zamfara way. What happened in Zamfara and Rivers was that there were 2 factions and 2 different indirect primaries were held. But the case of Edo will go same way like Imo and Ogun where the NWC opted for direct primaries. All party members and not delegates will choose the candidate.
If you call you disqualification show of shame. What do you have to say for not Inaugurating 10 out of 24 members in the house of assembly. Show of force abi? You better go quietly to the party you want to contest under because what’s waiting for you after you handover will be too much for you to handle. Remember majority of your cabinet members will start resigning from next week, then you will know that you’re alone.
spinreel: Lol! Exactly, he knew what was coming. His plan was to ensure APC runs into constitutional crises while he seeks refuge elsewhere. They should have allowed him contest. Now, his stooges will institute legal processes to ensure Zamfara Scenario. I bet you Oshiomole did this to circumvent the Executive Order and case already in court. Now, he would just need to write to INEC, stating they have opted for a CONSENSUS candidate, since the remaining players are his boys. Now, watch how dirty Obaseki can fight. APC in Edo State is about to implode from inside-out. He wants to be Tinubu, yet not half as smart as he is. Lets watch as the drama unfolds.
You get this wrong. Obaseki is not suspended from the party. The Screening committee said he’s not qualified to contest under the party. Now Obaseki will need to resign from the party himself and go to any party of his choice. APC will still do their primary and Ize-Iyamu will come 2nd. All this has been planned long time ago. Oshiomhole bringing Ize-Iyamu to APC is to weaken PDP. Now after the primary Iyamu will be given federal appointment. Bookmark this page.
Then PDP should be ready for litigations. Because time frame for purchase of form is over and candidates screened already. All he can do now is join another party and enter into agreement with PDP for support and they will be part of his government Incase he win the election.
PDP won’t give him Ticket ahead of others and also timeframe for purchasing form is over. Remember PDP has done its screening. Obaseki will look for one of the mushroom party to contest and he won’t come 2nd.
Flyingngel: Nonsense, somebody shld call Oshiomole to order. what is the guarantee that he would have the same problem with Use Iyamu?
We are all calling Oshiomhole because he is the party chairman. And nobody is blaming Obaseki for his part of the problem. 14 APC HOA members were not inaugurated even when the president intervened in the matter Obaseki refused to listen. When Obaseki was busy demolishing he’s opponents houses in Edo nobody talk then. When Obaseki issued a gazette against the party nobody see that as Anti-party. And he still want to contest under the same party he signed an order against. Or when his Deputy went to IGP to arrest Oshiomhole nobody said anything to warn him that a day like this will come. They’re all fighting for their selfish reasons.
