Re-Comrade Oshiomole stumbles again and again I am just so disappointed with the Press Secretary;s logic-that since Austin contested an election in Nigeria=Austin is clean guy. Ned Nwoko was a member of Rep after he was convicted along side Mr Austin. Ibori was convicted also in England before he became the Governor of Delta state. Mr PS as a one time aide to IBB i expected more than this from you. Charge (v) was a charge that the three solicitors had made claims for costs on the Legal Aid Fund which they knew or ought to have known they could not justify. The appellant and Mr Nwoko were convicted. Mr Farrell was acquitted on the grounds that the claims in question had been made against the Fund after he ceased to have any connection with the firm. So far as Mr Nwoko was concerned, such claims were made during his second period of stewardship, which lasted between December 1998 and February 1999. The appellant was convicted because such claims were made out during the period when she was held out as a partner in the firm, and she had told the Tribunal that she had supervised the files relating to the immigration work in respect of which those claims were made. |

I believe there is an underground mafia trying to severe every effort oshiomole makes in governance. Is it not the same thing they did to Bola Ige in the energy industry. May God help him out because I know he is a good man and has good wishes for his people but that thuggish part needed to govern a state in Nigeria is lacking in him. |

Wat is this chief press secretary talking about? I appreciate ur quick response in defence of ur boss, dat shows ur doing ur job. But wat i dnt appreciate is ur inability to sit him down and talk sense in2 him. the state owned uni, wich am a stdnt of has bin on strike 4 two weeks, and nuffin has been held 4rm the so called people's guvnor, an ex labour leader cnt negotiate labour issues, its a big shame. The university primary and sec sch has bin at home, economic activities in these institutions paralized. Persons who get there income 4rm dese places wud soon start kidnaping u guys. |

There is an underground Mafia working against Adams Oshiomhole and the leader of that Mafia is Oshiomhole himself. When Lucky Igbinedion is your Godfather, what good can come from you? Adams Oshiomhole is clueless. The man is doing nothing about the kidnappings in Edo, he's on a mission to exchange all the PDP reps members with AC ones, he has embarked on copying everything done in Lagos without success: first It's tax, then he started destroying shops, he skipped the construction of roads part and jumped straight to 'tree planting exercise'. He wants me to plant trees in a tropical rain forest. You step out of your house in Edo state and what greets you is a tree yet this man feels we need more. In fact, it is one of his projects of priority. The man will do nothing but sleep around with girls and smoke indian hemp. |

Re-Comrade Oshiomole stumbles again and again Friday, 19 June 2009 06:50 By PRINCE KASSIM AFEGBUA E-mail | Print | PDF The attention of the Comrade Governor Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole has been drawn to a news report on your website accusing the Governor of appointing Barrister Austin Atakpu as a Special Adviser on Taxation, whom you described in your report as an ‘ex-convict’. We wish to use this opportunity to state the following; that Austin Atakpu is a Special Adviser to the Governor on Taxation and Revenue and not ‘Tax Collector General’ as insinuated in your report. There is a Board of Internal Revenue under the Chairmanship of Ese Owie,Ph.D, an alumnus of Oxford University, UK. Aside from that, he is also a Lawyer and has vast experience on taxation, revenue generation and management. His experience also encompasses international trade law and policy, financial services regulation, insurance and shipping. [b][/b] Secondly, the Comrade Governor had no knowledge about the alleged conviction of Austin Atakpu in England neither was he aware that Austin Atakpu had brushes with the law in the United Kingdom with regard to conviction. If there is any such evidence of conviction made available to the Comrade Governor, he will apply the necessary logic. Besides, Atakpu has contested election in the past and the understanding would be that he had gone through the screening authorities before he could be certified for election. There was nothing to suggest that he was convicted as alleged at the time of his appointment. On appointments, the Comrade Governor has repeatedly said that the State would not compromise on merit in recruiting the right personnel to drive development and governance in Edo State. He believes in the ability of members of his cabinet to create the right platform to engage governance and make life meaningful for the average Edo person. He certainly will not compromise on those solemn pledges which he had made when he was being sworn into office as Governor of Edo State. If he possesses the right information, he will act accordingly. Thank you. PRINCE KASSIM AFEGBUA CHIEF PRESS SECRETARY TO THE EDO STATE GOVERNOR. Hmmmmmmmmm laff no go kill me oooo conny man die,na conny man go bury am, I m from Benin,though i have been out of the Benin for a while, Did i hear ESE OWIE is it not that same Ese that i know so well.The soon of the Saint [s][/s]Senator Stephen Roland Owie the man that sold Edo State to the Igbinedion at 1st instant Nawaooo, agree that the Dad is different from the Son.

What mannerof character assasination and crass disregard to decorum with a whiff of libelous verbose of the highest order being perpetrated in this here thread ![]() If no be papa, na pikin, if no be womanizer na embezzler, if no be ex-convict na adulterer, warrahellll meeeen ![]() As per the son of the former senator, I would like to know, is he doing his job or not? Well if he ain't, y'all can go mouthin stuff. But if he is, y'all berra hold your peace. The entire system is corrupt from top to bottom, and change must have to emanate from the top I concur, but even individuals have a duty to perform too you know, even you.

Gov Oshiomhole probes ex-convict status of aide VINCENT ADEKOYE, Senior Correspondent, Benin. GOVERNOR, Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State has ordered an immediate investigation into allegation of the ex-convict profile levelled against one of his recently appointed Special Advisers (name withheld). advertisement Daily Champion gathered that the probe by the governor is to save the State Government from the embarrassment suffered by the government in the past few days when the news of the ex-convict scandal broke out. However, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Kassim Afegbua, denied the allegation and called on the accusers to provide convincing proof that the said political office holder was once a prisoner. He said the suspect recently contested election and passed security screening. It would be recalled that Edo State Government had been in the news in the past few days over allegation that one of the Special Advisers had been indicted in the past by a court in the United Kingdom (UK). Apart from series of internet messages sent to Oshiomhole on the matter, report indicated that the governor had been inundated by callers from both within and outside the country expressing worry over the past records of the said political office holder and the need for the governor to sack him to save the image of his government. A source at the office of the governor told Daily Champion that in order to give the affected public officer a fair hearing said: "The Governor, as you know, is a man that likes transparency and truth, has called the Special Adviser to his office last week and confronted him with the allegation and the comments of people on him." An aide of the governor who does not want his name in print also said: "So, in order to be seen to have done what is right in the sight of the law and men, the governor ordered full scale investigation into the past activities of the Special Adviser especially his alleged brushes with law enforcement agents in the United Kingdom. "From available information, it is clear that the governor did not know that the man had such dirty past which could stain his people oriented government. It is certain that if the information is confirmed, the governor may have no option than to kick him out." http://odili.net/news/source/2009/jun/22/700.html |

Oshiomhole is no longer the the Adam's we knew. I don't know if his dabbling into politics has affected is moral judgements or he has seen what every other promising new breed politician sees - free easy money- and some extra fat has accumulated in his usually fast thinking brain. I have lost my respect for him, Dora, and many other promising but disappointing politrician - is it tricksters or Poli-Emblezzers ![]() ![]() This Na Uncle Go Slow.

I know this austin man so well, known him for a couple of years and yes he is biggest crook ever, a lair and a thief. he went bankrupt so many times. applying for credits and loans with different names was the only way austin survived in the Uk. He stole from people both close and distant friends. If only Edo State know he is only serving to steal for himself and family.its such a pity |

One irony about Nigerians is, it doesn't give opportunities for repented criminals, suspects, upcomers and starters. But we give opportunities to established criminals, state thieves, business oles, if Adams had appointed a well known Edo born thief nobody will raise eyebrows. That is why Edo will never progress the people and the polity is antagonistic to change. |
