In a continuation of his series of publicity stunts to Edo royal fathers, a former governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole has recently been reaching out to eminent persons who are close to the Onojie of Uromi, HRH Anselm Okojie, Aidenojie II, to seek forgiveness.

Almost four years ago, just three days to the end of his second tenure as governor, Oshiomhole had deposed the monarch in a brazen assault on our traditional institution. In his authoritarian manner, he rejected pleas from all quarters, including HRH himself, not to sack the Uromi town monarch.

It was the present Edo State governor, HE Godwin Obaseki, who, barely six months into his government reinstated the Onojie.

As the September 19, 2020 Edo gubernatorial election approaches, Oshiomhole, who was recently sacked as national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has been making frantic, face-saving efforts to garner support against the incumbent governor.

Credible sources have confirmed that the Uromi monarch has outrightly rejected Oshiomhole’s overtures, on the grounds that the public would perceive it as not being genuine and influenced by the forthcoming election. With their penchant for giving financial rewards, amongst other inordinate offers, the highly revered Esan monarch does not wish to be associated with such unholy alliances against the sitting governor.

His stance notwithstanding, the peace-loving monarch has advised Oshiomhole that he can return to the palace after the guber election, and that his pleas may be accepted when the appropriate conciliatory traditional rites have been performed.

Ok

Esan people as wise to Oshimhole's antics. Left to him alone, no Esan person would become governor of Edo State for the next 100 years. Oshiomhole leave our Onojie alone and face your music.

After what he did to Onojie, Oshiomhole must be very stvpid to think that Uromi sons and daughters will forgive him talk more of Onojie.

The curse they placed on Oshiomhole will continue.
