kestor:
To put you out of your misery, what makes you think he doesn't (at this time) have his HSC certificate in his possession now, like he later did with his UI certficate (which has been authenticated by his alma mata) just like NYSC has corrected his name?. You think you're smater than him or the party that accepted the documents after the initial controversy thrown up by APC?
My only worry is that he could have avoided the embarrassment altogether, it's something you and I should learn from.
Sort out any discrepancy before aspiring for any office.

Your two last statement is a wonderful lessons for everyone to learn from Governor Obaseki scenerio, I think why he relaxed about it is, he thought he will not use them. Oshiomole got the small loopholes and use it against him. Thank God for him, UI have come to say he graduated from their school. Before UI can give admission, one must have meet up with the requirements and don't think UI can bend the rules for anyone. Don't forget, UI is federal government controlled institution. NYSC have come up to issue the corrected certificate and NYSC is also federal government controlled institution, I don't blame the governor for the NYSC certificate issue because everyone all know how is almost impossible to correct name on NYSC certificate if you are not connected or in government position.
To me, he has all his certificates genuine, is just that some persons don't want to accept it because it will affect their interest later. Let see what will play out in the coming days.
I think with information bill that was passed into law, anyone can apply to UI to ascertain if the governor met the requirements to be admitted as student. Going to court is just an antics to distract the Governor.
My PVC is ready for September 19.

MsAllison:
I wonder if Oshiomole and his NWC will grace the rally

just thinking

Please contribute maturely
any irrelevant comments will attract the sanctions of the mods

thanks

Tony Kabaka.
What will Oshiomole say at the rally or campaign?
Let's us all watch, the time is not too far again.

seunmsg:
Rubbish OP. I will advice your sponsor to go and prepare for the general election. Osagie Ize-Iyamu is the candidate of APC and there is nothing your paymaster can do about it.

In addition, tell Obaseki to prepare to defend his candidature in court. He was not validly nominated by PDP because he did not obtain the party’s nomination form and participate in the screening within the timeframe stipulated by the party.

Again, he already bought the form of APC and therefore participated in the nomination process of APC. As a result, he cannot validly participate in the nomination process of another party. The Supreme Court already ruled on this matter in the case of Uche Nwosu of AA. The court invalidated the candidacy of Nwosu because he had participated in the nomination process of APC for the same election. Obaseki will suffer a similar fate.

Thank you so much for the insult.
To correct some of the wrongs you wrote, nobody paid me to post this and no amount of money can make me post this. My integrity is intact and I prefer in more than gold and diamond. Though I'm not rich now but I can be rich tomorrow and not my any wrong means. Go check all my post, they are all base on facts.
I will advice we should wait to observe what will happen between now and September 19. I want a healthy competitive election and the majority of Edoites should be allow to decide where the pendulum goes.
Take care and stop insulting someone who might be your elder in all ramifications.
Take care.

Edo 2020: WHY INEC MUST NOT ACCEPT OSAGIE IZE-IYAMU AS APC GUBER CANDIDATE.

By Fred Latimore Esq.

As it is today there is no duly elected National Chairman and Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as required by the Electoral Law to submit the name of the governorship candidate in Edo State, to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, as a result of the dissolution of the party's National Executive Committee, NEC, wherein principal officers including the National Chairman and the Secretary were sacked and subsequently stripped off of their administrative functions and powers.

The question is "Can a caretaker Committee Chairman and Secretary that were not duly elected at the APC convention perform the duties required in the Electoral Law, especially submission of governorship candidate for election in Edo State? This question is obviously begging for an answer.

It is important for INEC to painstakingly check her powers in this regard and decide whether or not it is within the commission's assigned lawful responsibilities to accept Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu's name from a Caretaker Committee Chairman, as APC candidate for the September 2020 governorship election in Edo State, without bending to pressures from powerful individuals and the so called federal might. INEC must not bow to illegality as a result of federal might pressures.

The second legal lacuna which INEC must resolve is; whether or not the fragrant disobedience to lawful court orders appointing Chief Victor Giadom as Acting National Chairman of APC, by the illegal Hilliard Etta/Ajumobi's Acting National Chairman cabal, that constituted the adhoc committee which conducted Edo APC Party primaries on June 22; can be cured or panel bited by a mere ratification, bearing in mind that the judgment of the Court of Appeal that quashed Adams Oshiomhole's Appeal was operational and potent as at the time Edo governorship primaries was conducted. It was crystal clear that contempt of Court played out and this is a grave violation which ratification can neither remedy nor cure, in the instant case.

In my considered legal opinion, It is absolutely impossible for the APC NEC to ratify the order of a court of competent jurisdiction in the sense that immediately the Court of Appeal quashed Adams Oshiomole's appeal against the decision of the Court below which appointed Victor Giadom as Acting National Chairman, the lower court judgment became operational automatically, thereby restoring Giadom's status as Acting National Chairman of APC. It was on the strength of this legal reality that President Mohammadu Buhari, recognised Giadom leadership as Acting National Chairman as can be seen from the meeting held at the Council Chambers in the Presidency on June 26, 2020 chaired by Giadom and authenticated by Mr President.

The legal implication of Mr President's decision to recognise Giadom is that all the parties activities, actions and inactions as well as the decisions taken and those implemented by the Etta/Ajumobi's faction against Giadom's leadership simply amounts to crude disobedience to superior court order; the Court of Appeal which validated the decision of the lower court restoring Giadom's position as Acting National Chairman of APC. Contempt of Court activated and must be unravelled in the temple of justice, anytime soon by interested parties with locus standi.

It follows that an action taken, orders given and adhoc committee constituted by the Etta/Ajumobi's faction goes to no issue. All actions and inactions were in continuation of illegality, fragrant disobedience to lawful court orders that cannot be ratified by a lesser APC NEC. If INEC accept a governorship candidate who emerged from an illegal process authorised by an unrecognized Acting National Chairman, it simply connotes that the APC ratification is superior to lawful court orders or Court judgments that were not vacated before the APC controversial ratification alien to law.

Therefore, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu cannot be recognised by INEC as Edo APC candidate, simply because he is a product of illegality cum disobedience to valid court judgments/orders. INEC must resolve these legal lacunas before rejecting or accepting Ize-Iyamu, otherwise her integrity shall be tested in the Court of Law, sooner than later.

The third lacuna for considerstion is; Giadom as the lawful Acting National Chairman declared on National Television and may have also written to INEC that Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu is not recognised by APC national leadership as Edo APC candidate, for the fact that those who constituted the adhoc committee that appointed Governor Hope Uzodima as Chairman of the Edo primaries were not recognised and as such all of that governorship primaries exercise went down the drains as a fraudulent act, null and void and of no effect whatsoever.

The legal potholes in the above laughable APC Edo governorship primaries scenario is that Governor Hope Uzodina's assignment was exercise in futility, it never happed in the eyes of the law and therefore cannot be ratified by either Mr President or a congregation of APC leaders in a political jamboree, without first vacating the court judgment/orders.

The APC ought to have approached a court of competent jurisdiction, to among other prayers seek and obtain order of ratification, if possible, to cure multifaceted illegalities, fragrant disobedience to lawful court orders; and not to ratify the candidature of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, who obviously was a product of fragrant disobedience to lawful court orders by certain overzealous politicians who felt they were more powerful and greater than the Court of Justice and custodians of our legal jurisprudence.

No body, no political party and political leaders that is above the Law and cannot therefore knowingly ignore valid Court judgments handed down by Courts of competent jurisdiction. If this happened as can be seen in the instant case of APC, the sanctions must be activated and those involved cannot benefit from their wrongdoing including the APC and Mr President.

The Hope Uzodima's illegal APC governorship primaries in Edo State, is more or less a dead baby which a mere ratification cannot revive or bring back to life. It's dead and buried and INEC cannot soil her fingers by recognising Osagie Ize-Iyamu as Edo APC governorship candidate in this dispensation.

It is my considered legal opinion that APC as a party cannot benefit from her fragrant disobedience to Court orders/judgments by ratifying an action or process that undermined the powers of our Courts. INEC cannot accept the Edo APC candidate because of the legal lacunas raised above and I stand to be corrected.

As it is today, Edo APC does not have a lawful or authentic governorship candidate standing for the September election. Certainly, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu's name cannot appear in the governorship election ballot papers for the September election in Edo State.

The fear of EFCC. Buhari said he will deal with anyone who take APC to court. Nor thief ooo make buhari nor threaten you.

Kindledlight:
You are mixing up everything,just try educate yourself and discover all what you said is wrong .

A letter against the conduct of APC primary was send to INEC by the legal acting chairman of the party and that letter have not been recall till now from INEC. What Victor Giadom did was stands according to law as at that time. Don't you think this will have legal implications later?
I want to see a full contest in Edo State. I wish any legal practitioner is here to educate us on this point.

Kindledlight:
Ku i

Its all politics,PDP also insulted Obaseki saying he didn’t do anything for 4years,Who would have thought they will give him the party ticket on a plater of gold?

Can you show us a prove where PDP insulted the Governor before now?

Anyone taking Samson Osagie serious should do a rethink. Someone that was in government for 12years without any form of achievement. He is from my Local government, I know him very well. He is the master of political lies.
Samson Osagie, Tony Kabaka, Henry idiagbon etc are all disadvantages to Ize Iyamu. He bleeped up for associating himself with them.
No more state money for you for the next 4years in Edo State, carry your face and problem go Abuja.

jasent:
OK we hear you.So since he achieved all this why did Oshiomole refused yo give him any board appointment, despite the fact that he campaigned for Osho?if you can answer this question I will shift my support from Godwin to Iyamu.

He will never respond to this.

Ehinmen3:
you and your unproductive comments

Can you book for a debate in any of the TV station? Let's meet face to face to talk politics in Edo State. I'm not a politician but I'm not politically dull. Have been following Edo politics for years, you can't deceive me with your bought conscience.

ORIENTATION101:
E don use Una money buy PDP ticket for September 19.
I hope civil servants money no dey among over 6billions he has been sharing to Tax collectors in PDP

Don't play politics with this, the money have been released by the government but some top persons in the HMB sat on it. I know some of those persons that protested, why did they not go to government house to protest?
I'm a Medical Laboratory Scientist in Benin City, I know and have heard what is playing out before now. Before you blame the governor because of politics, do investigations. Those rushing here to comments are those castigating the governor in other trends and as well as create topics to castigate him.
In a given government, there must be those who are there to hack the process to favour their personal interest.
I think it will be resolve soonest.

What I have to say is this, is like op have turned himself to something else or blind to see anything.
Governor Obaseki is not a saint, he has tried in alot of things, why not give him kudos for it than playing the spoilt game because of politics or political and personal gains?
I'm not a politician, I'm just a voter and a full Benin guy from Edo State. I have stayed majority of my life in Edo state, I followed the state politically so I can't be deceive. Have been following op on all his posts against the governor which you know some of the things you posted are lies just for you to deceived the innocent and people here who is not from Edo State nor reside in Edo State. I went to AAU around February this year, I was so marvelled with what I saw compare to what I saw when I was there about 5years ago, my sister graduated from the school, she so much said alot of the development the Governor Obaseki have done in that school, why not give him credit for it even if he is using state money, he can't decide not to do anything there because he can get away with it because of our governmental system. Are you telling me you have not see the roads done and the once under constructions?
Let's play things out rightly, if not for anything but for our conscience sake.
Note: Have not meet the governor once neither has he given me anything, have only saw him on TV, I know he is not being vocal on his achievements like Oshiomole, to my assessment, he tried in so many areas but not all.
Majority of Edoites will decide come September 19, 2020.

Yeye post from a yeye poster.
Before June, no one talked evil against Obaseki, since you are not gaining selfishly, he is now evil.
September 19 is so close, God will keep us all to see that day and beyond. Just watch, by July, all the videos of Oshiomole talked against your Ize Iyamu will roll out for all to see.
Those who don't mean well for Edo State and majority of her people irrespective of how highly placed they are, they will sleep and not wake up before September 19, 2020.
Enough is enough.

proudevil:
No be for naija?
In fact even if he is not removed ,he will be frustrated by court cases and investigations. Sanusi was also powerful, but he wine and dine with the wrong guys and he wasn't removed outrightly, they started with corruption allegations undermining his leadership position..

Please stop comparing Oba of Benin with Emir Sanusi.
Nobody dare want to dethrone the Oba of Benin. Who will accept the throne?

helinues:
Not a bad candidate though but between NDDC and Apc chairman, which one is more juicy/stress less?

You spoke my mind, though I know the news is fake.

Royalist04:
He is the Governor of the state. We are voting him. So be objective
Tell us what are his achievements, not he pay salary. It's just like a father will say I feed my children who help me in the farm
Don't mention AAU they are TETFUND projects

Where they not TETFUND before Obaseki came into government, how come the works of TETFUND is starting in his time?

TheGodlessGod:
Roads:

The ones you mention most of them have already been constructed he just added alphalt to it. Why can't you post the before and after pictures??.

Schools:

I'm glad you mentioned "Reconstruction" meaning since four years obaseki didn't construct a single school in Edo state, you even added training of teachers to make the list longer.

Infrastructures:

The Edo buses you mention, it's not up to 10 in Edo state. During oshiomole era it was working around Benin. Obaseki just killed everything.

Edo production centre: I followed everything about that, he said he'll build over 5 of that around Edo state senatorial district, he only build one in Edo south and abandoned the rest.

I don't want to hear renovation as part of his achievement because it's shameful, I've never seen when kaduna, Kano or ebonyi governors are posting their achievement, they don't even mention renovation..

The cars he bought for Edo security outfit is no where to be found.

As for housing, emotan garden is abbadoned I've been to there myself, even though it was a joint private effort just like ossiomo power project, obaseki couldn't commissioned anyone in four good years.

Why have you given yourself to lies?
You nor dey see WABAIZIGAN cars for Benin?
What about the new look of all the sporting locations in Edo?
All the schools Oshiomole renovated and chairs he bought for the schools, were they all not substandard and are they all not bad before he left government? Oshiomole did alot of works but most of them were all substandard. Have you been to Ambrose Alli University of recent and compare it with Oshiomole time?
Just be truthful for once even if you were paid to propagate lies against the governor.
I am not directly saying the Governor is a saint but he tried in some areas of governance and you have to give credit for that.
If I have my way, I will prefer with vote someone who have not tasted political position before but in Nigeria, we go for party and what we can gain as an individual.

divicode:
You are correct bro, wailers should go and hug the closest transformer

Are you from Edo?
Do you have a PVC in Edo to vote?

madridguy:
Congratulations to our incoming Governor.

Your governor and your household.

Staro:
OP, read

I'm from Edo State, I can attest to this, it's so correct. You didn't include stopping of ticketing by agberos lead by Tony Kabaka and co. If you were in Edo State during Oshiomole government when Tony Kabaka were in charge of all the ticketing, beating of bus, car drivers, market men and women were on daily basis but it's no more since the government of Obaseki. Introduction of technology in collecting government revenue.
Governor Obaseki have not also borrow a dime to fund his projects.
Also, no state institutions have gone on strike because they are paid their salaries as when due.
I think his rating is more than 65%

lalawealthy:
Bros,if u are an Edo man,u won't be talking like this.I pray Obaseki wins the governorship election,but bros my fear is that he has mortgaged d state already...go mark it,we won't have any developmental project all tru.that's my fear .we should stop talking with sentiment.am a pro-obaseki but nah my fear b dis.

What did you mean he has mortgaged the state?
Has Governor Obaseki borrowed any money since his administration?

Quelme:
don't mind them. Every sensible Edolite knows Obaseki is a disaster! MOU governor and nothing more.

Most of the people castigating the governor are either not from Edo State or they don't even stay in Edo State. If they are, they are political jobbers.

spirul77:
secondary education has been free in edo before obaseki, security has been worse in edo, gully is dragging Benin city with the oba, a state that receives one of the highest allocation from fg and you are talking about policies ,what then are they doing with the money? Or you think gov Dave umahi dont have policies too? Baba forget what you are hearing ,I'm speaking from a first person point of view because I'm typing live from benin,nothing has changed for the good rather things are getting worse by the day ,the few roads constructed has long been washed away by erosion in Benin, this man obaseki is a typical failure that yahaya Bello would be so mad if they are both compared, edo needs infrastructural development and you are talking of policies that an average edolite dont feel, dude is total audio, I bet with my two balls OP won't see a single picture of any project, what salaries are you even talking about when the previous adm was paying 25k as minimum wage when the rest of the country was paying 18k.
Edo needs infrastructure and not audio policies and mou, we have the money and it's a pity you are celebrating renovation and painting of state sec as achievement, would a local govt chairman list renovation and painting of secretariat and stadium as an achievement? Talking about education, the previous administration started the red roof revolution in edo schools but today were are we ?

Why are you so lying, is it for political reason?
the last administration paid #25k, for how long? was it? was it not at the almost end of the administration? Did Governor Obaseki not continue with it?
Can you tell me what Oshiomole did with the#30B water storm project money he borrowed from world bank and other money he borrowed?
Can you point to any of the road Oshiomole did that is still good today?
You are political blind if you are not seeing what the governor have done.
Tell me, has he borrowed any money?

I'm from Benin City, though I don't have the pics of what the Governor Obaseki have done so far because I have not bothered to snap any but have seen some with my eyes. Most of the road Oshiomole did were all bad but the Governor is fixing them again example is 5 junction, ring road that's police station road, siluko road, lucky road etc. He has done alot of roads in GRA, he is fixing Ekehuan barack road, he has also refixed the stadium and other sporting facilities in the state. He did TV road too. Have seen a number of schools he renovated, some I can remember is Emokpae primary school, Usi primary school, I saw some schools in ugbowo renovated by him. He paid all the state workers salaries before 25th of every month even in this pandemic. He is also paying pensioners and gratuity. He has not borrowed anything since he came to government. He was able to stop agberos that disturb and beat bus drivers and market men and women. Bus drivers now pay 1200-1400 as against 2500-3000 before his government. Because of this pandemic, he stopped the payment. Before this pandemic, payment now goes to government directly because of the technology he introduced in collecting the money and not through individuals. He is also building a big central park in Ring road, as at the last time I passed there, the work as gone far. He has build a power station, he is standing the poles now that will supply electricity to street lights, government facilities and hospitals and some resident areas.
I went to AAU early this year, what I saw, I was so impressed compare to what it is in before this administration, AAU and other indigence can attest to this fact, gigantic works are still on going. The school don't strike as before.
He also worked with the Oba of Benin to stop CDA in communities in Benin City and Edo in general. If you are an Edoites in Edo and in diapora, you will understand this benefits.
I didn't write this because I have gained anything from the governor, these are the things I saw with my eyes and nothing less. From my point of view, he tried but it can't be 109% because he is a man and not God. I think he has to continue, he is the best candidate so far.

We the Edoites knows the antics Oshiomole and co were trying to use to stop Governor Obaseki, he has failed. We will vote for Governor Obaseki, we can't vote a steal who we cannot trust with Edo state money. We can't vote who will bring agbero to Edo State, Edo State money can't go to few greed pockets.

I chatted with him, I played along. He asked me to pay #11250 for a bag of crayfish and 3k for waybill. I said he should send me his account details. After then, I told him it should be payment on delivery, he disagree, I told him he is a scammer, he blocked me.

I chatted with him. This is Account details he gave me- name :Royal food ventures:account number :0589398955 :Gtbank.
He is a scammer.

Have chatted with the WhatsApp number, I can say he is a fraudster.
