Rejoinder to Otu Edo Nahire.


I watched a video clip made by Otu Edo Nahire, a socio-cultural organization that one had never heard of. Considering that Obaseki has a well funded Social media force as an arm of his government, it will come as no surprise at all that this is also one of his backyard creations.

For all it is worth, for the avoidance of doubt, these gentlemen should probably be advised to ask the governor what exactly Captain Hosa has done to trouble him. No citizen, no matter how wealthy, wakes up to fight government. However, every citizen of a State has a right to fight back with all the legal means available to them if they are attacked. Godwin Obaseki has threatened to revoke Captain Hosa’s C of O to properties that predate his election as governor. That constitutes harassment and intimidation. No one would stand idly by and watch their legacy being burned to the ground by an autocrat.

If I may ask, when did it become a crime to support whomever we wish to support in an election? Is Captain Hosa a candidate for election? Can he exercise his rights as a citizen of Edo State? Is he compelled to only support the governor? Are we a one Party State?

Members of Otu Edo Nahire, (if they are an authentic organization), are free to express themselves as they have done. We congratulate them for a well orchestrated hatchet job. The speaker is very eloquent, very talented.

Something is clear. We have 19 days to the election. We on this side are working door to door for our preferred candidate, Osagie Ize-Iyamu. They need to go and do the same on the other side. Propaganda can only go so far. Boots on the ground are what translate to electoral victory. We have our boots on the ground. Where are your own boots?
