By Ozioruva Aliu – Benin City
The campaign between supporters of Governor Godwin Obaseki of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu took a violent dimension as two persons identified as Oguma Ojo and Friday Yaya who are supporters of Ize-Iyamu were shot on Friday night by one Omoloju Atere popularly called Ugogo said to be on the run in Ward II in Igarra, Akoko-Edo local government area.


An eye witness said the member representing Akoko-Edo II Hon Emma Agbaje had addressed his supporters where he pledged his support for Ize-Iyamu.

Later that night, the assailant was said to have gone to where the victims were sitting with about four other persons and shot at them.

A family member of one of the victims said the issue has been reported at the police station in Igarra.



Meanwhile the State deputy governor, Comrade Philip Shaibu was reportedly engaged in a war of words with his boss, Godwin Obaseki at a leadership meeting Thursday following what they described as failure by the governor to release funds for the election.

It was gathered that trouble started when the governor commenced the meeting and charged everybody to give the election they’re all but this was said to have been instructed as Shaibu was said to have told the governor that he (Obaseki) is not serious in winning the coming election as he allegedly said the governor has neglected the committees formed two weeks earlier with no funding for their activities.


Tension reportedly heightened when he accused the governor of luring him to fight his godfather Oshiomhole and now showing no commitment or seriousness in funding the forthcoming election.

“Mr governor I see you don’t understand what this election is all about. You are not serious about it. Do you think is the little boys carrying laptops here that will do it. If you don’t want to fund the election then I have no business being here. I will back out” Shaibu was said to have declared.


He further urged the governor to release money for the guber campaign and Obaseki was said to have requested for the budget of each of the committees, six of them in number.

But the aides of the two actors; Senior Special Assistant on Media to Shaibu, Benjamin Atu and Crusoe Osagie, Special Adviser on Media and Communication Strategy to Obaseki, denied the allegation.

Atu in a statement quoted Shaibu as saying that “Politics has a way of letting you know the inner recess of the human mind.


“My loyalty to Obaseki is sacrosanct and not debatable. No amount of blackmail or propaganda can stop me from serving the interest of Governor Philip Shaibu declared. I will Support Obaseki and make sure he wins the September 19th Governorship election in Edo State”

He called on the People of the state to disregard ongoing rumour. “Expect more of this kind of propaganda from these characters that didn’t wish us well.

If he release money and lose the election, will Philip be there to defend him?

It is foolishness of the highest order to die for selfish and wicked type of politicians that we have in this country. They are all the same calibre of people. Today APC and tomorrow PDP and someone is dying for them. Really pitiable situation.

Stop having that mindset, did IPOB not support Udom Emmanuel, Wike, Tambuwa, Ortom etc. did they not win?.Though am not Ibo or IPOB fan, IPOB is not the reason for some politicians failure, it just the way those victims who lost played their game.

“Mr governor I see you don’t understand what this election is all about. You are not serious about it. Do you think is the little boys carrying laptops here that will do it. If you don’t want to fund the election then I have no business being here. I will back out” Shaibu was said to have declared.
This one sweet my belle die

Hmm please be wise don't let any politician use you
None of them love you

I won't pity anyone that puts his life in danger campaigning for these birds of a feather, people that literally don't care about your existence and only care about your votes so they can achieve their selfish interest when they are voted in

bloody

This is bad

Obaseki knew his end has come, that's why he turned this peaceful campaign to violence. But Edo people are wiser now. We will continue to campaign for Pastor İze Iyamu with no Violence.

God bless Pastor İze Iyamu, our next Governor,
God bless Oshiomole,
God bless Me.

Leave we edolites alone!

Igbo man, your Obaseki will win online.

So Shuaibu is threatening to drop Obaseki's sinking ship.


Obaseki knows that he is not getting a second term and he does not want to spend too much money on campaign after paying huge tax to get PDP ticket.


Edo will be turn to a war zone few weeks from now, if you don't have sense go and die for one politician.

Both parties are already arming Edo cultists and touts to cause havoc before, during and after the election.

WATCHOVER:

Stop having that mindset, did IPOB not support Udom Emmanuel, Wike, Tambuwa, Ortom etc. did they not win?.Though am not Ibo or IPOB fan, IPOB is not the reason for some politicians failure, it just the way those victims who lost played their game.
