Bro, you don't need to get irritated over fact. What you should do is try to say no to enslavement by anyone irrespective of his/her affluence. Igbos have always been at loggerhead with the Fulani caliphate whose intention has remained to subdue and continue to dictate for the rest of the country even when their intentions are not in synchrony with others. The Yorubas have always been supportive of one Nigeria which clearly they can't explain what one Nigeria has done for them since amalgamation. However, some few Yoruba Elders have come to realize the true meaning of one Nigeria but are still begging the issue with their clamour for restructuring.

Now, back to what the guy you quoted said, one acclaimed godfather has been holding the sway, personally chosing who to govern Yoruba states just because he governed Lagos State and has been feeding from the states resources since 1999. He believes he is even richer than one of the states and stated it clearly, yet most Yorubas still tie themselves to his aprons string. However, he thought himself an oracle beyond Yoruba region and wanted to prove with the rest of the south but was vehemently resisted and rejected.

Truth remains that the rest of the south apart from the west will do anything to reject being subjugated and controlled by one person against their interest and that's what we call.
Jonathan resisted and the reason he fell apart with Obj, Obaseki against Oshiomhole and many more. Today none claims regional godfather of the rest of the south except in the west where boudillion claims so for the west.

Slawormir:
Damnnnnn niggarrr He will remain in PDP anyday anytime twice on Monday

frankyychiji:
By 2023, 2/3 states would be PDP. Obaseki is happy where he is.

Your write up clearly shows that you have little knowledge of your history as Igbo otherwise you would have easily recall that during the 1st and 2nd Republics it was the Igbos that clinged to the Hausa/Fulani to the benefit of themselves and at the detriment of others.
Yoruba race is independent minded and very smart at knowing what they really want, and we've made clear times and times again that restructuring that grants both political, economical and fiscal autonomy to the federating units is what we want and not the breakup of Nigeria.
You forgot quickly that Akeredolu, the present Governor of Ondo State was not the Candidate of Tinubu in 2016. Akeredolu was elected by the people of Ondo State and if they so wish they will reelect him. Tinubu candidate failed at the primary of APC in 2016.
Its ridiculous that the Igbos represented by people such as you and the OP are trying to coerce others tribes to join their beliefs, but truth is that such approach dont work with the Yorubas.
By the way how many Governors in South West are installed through the influence of Tinubu, probably only one, the Osun State.

Kriss216:
How Oshiomhole single-handedly gave Edo to PDP is God's plan.

Ondo State is a Yoruba state. It's time they say NO to slavery. If they want Liberation, we're here for them. We can't force liberation on anyone.

PDP is coming stronger for 2023.

God bless Edo
God bless Obaseki




Shame on Ambode!

Passionate888:
The Amaechi faction will wrest power from Tinubu, that's when Wike will extend a hand to him

Ambode don suffer for una hand, the amount of shame thrown at him on Nairaland can cause him High Blood Pressure

And how would that put food on your table and pay your bills?

Just wait till PDP crisis will start then disappointment will stir you in the face.

martineverest:
he will remain in pdp for next 4 years and decamp after his tenure

Yebosola:




Armchair critics, wetin make am shaky? Do u this SW play emotional politics? U are a learner.

WATCHOVER:
Looking at the way the PDP as a party fought for him.
Especially DELTA STATE PDP, THE IGBINEDION DYNASTY, CHARLES IDAHOSA AND CO.

IT IS CERTAIN OBASEKI WILL REMAIN IN PDP

My brother ignore them.

Uncleodi:

20. And on the day of reckoning more votes had been casted for Godwin than for Iyamu and he had been crowned governor to reign in Adam’s stead.
21. Behold, at about the second year of the reign of Godwin, and like a dream of the night, after the feast of the old year, the new governor and old governor saw discord together.
22. The new Governor had called upon the people saying, ” he wants your gold and Silver and I said nay!!!. No man shall be god over this land, for this is the very cause ye fought for in your reign, and I say it shall stand.
23. And when it came to the ear of Adams the son of Oshomiole, what the new governor had done. He had cried with a loud voice..
24. “A traitor is on the throne!!. therefore shall my eyes not be allowed to behold the ungodly stand in judgement for long.
25.for yes! he has bitten the finger that fed him bread. And his reign must be seized!. Another four years thou will not go!
26. And Godwin the son of obaseki had responded, “I shall go another.
27. On the fourth year of the month and on the day when a new adversary was to be chosen to travail with Obaseki. Iyamu had come forth and said “here I am, I will go. And Adams spake softly saying ” I am with you.
28. Now the people of the city had rent their clothes and thrown forth their voice in desolation saying to the Adams the son of Oshomiole, who shall we go with?.
29. Whom shall we believe? For the Lord God is not the author of confusion, a man whom ye called a leper yesterday, how turneth he now an angel? And the one whom ye called a messiah the day before, how turneth he now leper?.
30. For dignity is not like the sun that comes and goeth. Or like the leopard spots, or like the stars, or the changing seasons. Dignity is like the word of the Lord that endureth forever.
31. And it came to pass after these things, that election was held throughout the province of the ancient city on the nineteenth day in the month of September in the year of corona A.D in the reign of Oba Ewaure 11,
32. that the people of Edo decided that light should defeat darkness and godfatherism casted into the bottomless pit.
33. And, Lo The Lord blessed Godwin the son of Nogheghase, the son of Obaseki with more votes over his contenders from the plain of Benin to Esan and across river Ikpoba unto Owan, Etsako and unto Akoko Edo.
34. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of David, which saith, God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

PDP that has made SE the poverty capital of the south is the liberation you're talking about?

Racoon:
The APC in Edo state & @ national level is currently enmeshed in multi-prongs crisis that it will take eternity to resolve.Even the primary that produced Ize Iyamu is still being contested in court.

So the worst mistake Godswin Obaseki can do is to defect back to the APC with a popular mandate that providence brought his way last Saturday.He will forever regret it.This is politics anyway where anything can happen.

NSK4U:


Yorubas know what they want yet they fought against confederation in the 60s only to wake up today with the restructuring noise. Now what are the terms of your new restructuring different from the terms of confederation?

First and second republic ('63-66 & '79-83)? how did Igbos glue with the north? Do you even know the history you referring?

Well, ma popcorn, still in the season of Edo no be Lagos, final political burial in '23 for one butterfly feeling himself a bird.

okuta007:



I sincerely believe Obaseki will return to his private life after his tenure is completed - the man is not a natural politician - He is an investment banker - I see him expanding his business by venturing into new sectors and probably working with Dangote since they are friends - He wont be in politics. He may accept ministerial appointment if the president considers him but I do not see him running from pillar to post running for office

That is the difference between someone who has a business or skill before politics - they easily retire to that business

Being a money market guy, he knows how to turn N2 Million to N10 Million in a year, he will just be fine in the private sector - The only person I know will continue politics is Shaibu - and because this Edo election is off cycle, he may have to run for Senate - challenging the current APC Senator in Edo North - and if he wins, he will have to leave office as deputy Governor one year short to the completion of his tenure in 2024

Shaibu should go to Senate and If I were Shaibu, I will use my office now as deputy governor to focus on my Senatorial district for the 2023 PDP Senatorial ticket - and it should be easy if he starts prep early. IF he doesn't go to Senate in 2023, then by 2024 - He will be without a job after Obaseki is done with his term and I have a feeling PDP will give the gubernatorial ticket to an Esan man in 2023. I WILL NOT ADVISE SHAIBU TO ATTEMPT SUCCEEDING OBASEKI - he should go to Senate first and once an Esan man is done with his 8 years then Shaibu can contest for Governor from Edo North - then he would have built a solid structure there, because Osho defeated him in Edo North last week, with 22,000 more votes so he has work to do if he has a future after being the deputy governor.

Goke7:


this is laughable, you think these politicians are just in office to eat rice. I de laugh o in obj's voice.

TheTrueSeeker2:


With Edo election Gov. Wike has successfully created for himself a formidable force in Nigerian politics to be reckoned with. Interested parties for 2023 will begin to tilt towards him. For #OndoDecides Wike's presence or involvement will speak volume and rattle the gladiators in that state
