Who is Captain Hosa? The twin identity behind the mask.
~By Adaze Emwanta

It is with the greatest shock and chagrin that l read a media statement in the Leadership Newspaper, sponsored by one Edo-born retired aeroplane pilot and money-bag, called Captain Hosa Okunbo. The said seditious publication was meant to disparage the personal reputation of the Governor of Edo State, His Excellency, Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki. I believe that the said Captain Hosa, who was born in Orhua village somewhere in Uhunmwode Local Government Area of Edo State, decided to change his name from Idahosa Okunbor, in order to obliterate records of his imprisonment for a drug related offence. He was miraculously discharged of the criminal offence, but was unable to obliterate the record of his detention in two different prison facilities in Lagos. The recent statement on AiT Democracy Today programme by the Minister of Transport, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, accusing him of defrauding the Federal Government of Nigeria to the tune of 17 million US Dollars, speaks volumes of his track record of fraudulent behavior.

So, it is laughable to hear him speak of not supporting the re-election bid of the Governor. That is not different from the rantings of Tony Kabaka. I will not even comment on the glaring fact, as it is rumoured in some quarters, that the man now bleaches with all manners of feminine creams, in order to conceal his underlying health challenges. The much l can say in that connection, is that the envious man needs our prayers. The greatest disease he suffers from is envy for those who are better than him.

In 2016 Mr. Idahosa Okunbor worked against the election of Godwin Obaseki, to the office of Governor of Edo State. Just like he is doing now, he bankrolled the election of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu in 2016. The moment his candidate lost, he immediately switched loyalty to the winner of that election, Godwin Obaseki. He had done that to Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, who lost the Nigerian presidency to President Muhammadu Buhari, the previous year (2015) . True to his type, after the inauguration ceremony, he begged the Governor to lead him on an investment trip to China. His request was granted by the Governor.

Before his trip to China with the Governor, Hosa had told Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu to withdraw his case from the Election Petition Tribunal, because in his very words, “Edo people have gotten the Governor they have been looking for and Ize-Iyamu has NOTHING to offer”. These were Hosa Okunbor’s very words when the Governor magnanimously granted Hosa’s request to support him on a business trip to China to meet with his Chinese prospective partners, who had refused to participate in his proposed projects except the Edo State Government was involved in the discussions. The Governor, having being newly elected could easily have declined Hosa’s request, as Hosa did not in anyway support his campaign and election. But to Hosa’s biggest surprise, Governor Obaseki, without any consideration whatsoever agreed to embark on that trip with Hosa and ended up guiding, directing and advising Hosa and his team on the best and most beneficial way to undertake the transactions with the Chinese. It was reported that Hosa was so elated and grateful for the Governor’s support, that he again declared on that trip, that he would call Osagie Ize Iyamu to drop his case at the election tribunal, because he Hosa had seen that Osagie Ize Iyamu had nothing to offer.

During the regime of Adams Oshiomhole as Governor of Edo State, he awarded the construction of Airport road to the same Captain Hosa, and the project was not completed after many years. It was Setraco Construction Company that eventually completed the project. The contract of managing the water fountain at Ring Road Benin city, on an annual basis, was given to one Pastor Dandison Okunbor, the younger brother of Captain Hosa for a whopping cost of ₦500 million. This was one of the conduit pipes Captain Hosa wanted Godwin Obaseki to allow to continue, but the Governor ended the contract, as he didn't see any economic sense in that venture.

The foregoing and many more grievances flowing from the end of Adams Oshiomhole and his lions and tigers informed the new alliance with Captain Hosa against the re-election bid of the Governor. I dare say that a lorry load of these fellows can't upturn the resolve of the vast majority of Edo people to re-elect the Governor, come September 19 2020.
It is very evident that Captain Hosa Okunbo, Pastor Osagie Ize Iyamu and Mr. Adams Oshiomole are desperate, crass and, obviously, bipolar birds of a feather, who lack character, and have no iota of decency and truth in their make up.

We shall resist Captain Hosa and his new army of lions and tigers with our PVCs, come September 19 2020. God must win!

Edo no be Lagos

Says the man who instituted the case barring the Federal govt from giving his own state the nddc chairman. Hate will consume him and Obaseki.

It is a pity a trained lawyer writes like this because of food. What has body cream got to do with the issue of governance? What concerns Capt with lions and tigers? Ameachi said he is defrauding d govt why did he not report to efcc. The NASS has commended him on that same particular contract. Because Obaseki has ganged up with Ameachi to crumble him. God is bigger than Obaseki. This hate will consume him.

Emwanta is the S.I unit for lies and talking recklessly. You never hear him speak to issues but rather attack individuals.

Captain hosa is a vaga..bond...switching allegiance anyhow....he is as unstable as water.

capt.Hosa is a liar like mallam ize iyamu
