Governor Obaseki seems to have problems keeping relationships. All politics is local. He should find a way to work with Dan Orbih of the legacy group and reach a common ground. Dan Orbih is a nice guy and had been in this game longer than Obaseki. After taking out a full newspaper publication to lambast then Governor Wike, it is strange that Obaseki now goes to ask Wike to intercede on his behalf. It was even Obaseki's mouth that we heard Wike would be contesting the PDP presidential primaries and Obaseki threatened Wike with "we shall see". This is the wrongest time to mend fences. Obaseki presents himself as a user. He ought to have reconciled with these people as soon as he won his second term, but he waited until he had use for them. There is absolutely no political intelligence in such a move. Asue Ighodosky, I advice you reach out to Dan Orbih, Wike and Ogbeide-Ihama and convince them on your own to show you wouldn't be a user like Obaseki. You are a good candidate but the Obaseki belligerent baggage is likely going to be your albatross. Meet Wike and Dan Orbih and make concessions. You are a boardroom guru. Negotiation is obviously a piece of cake for you. We want you as Edo Governor. 67 Likes 2 Shares |

Same fate awaits fubara and his emergency lovers. Dan orbih is in charge of the delegate list for the primaries, he can easily swap the names to accommodate pro ihama voters in the primaries. obaseki knows better that's why he's seeking for a reconciliation . 29 Likes |

emkz:You think they will listen to him? Orbih has rebuffed any meeting with GO and said all should go to the field, hence his meeting their 'oga'. GO offered Deputy or SSG, and they said NO. Ogbeide-Ihama is from Edo South, infact from the same LGA as Obaseki as well and was one of those who fell at the Primaries thanks to Obaseki & Ayu. The plan is to do giveaway like Samuel Anyanwu. 13 Likes |

fergie001: Asue Ighodalo can negotiate more sensibly than Obaseki. He needs to meet them and keep meeting them. For one thing, we agree that Edo South is the biggest and most populated senatorial district in Edo State. We have no doubt that there are competent men to lead our state there, and Ogbeide-Ihama is obviously competent. But let the Esans have it, and the best candidate across board is Asue Ighodalo. This man distinguished himself in his law practice and as a corporate guru. We can attest and feel his impact within Edo State and on a national scale. We are glad that people like him are coming out to run Edo State. I'd have wished he is made economic adviser to the president so he can serve on a larger scale. We must pay attention to leadership recruitment and Edo State is a litmus test here. Whatever negotiations need to be done to give Asue the PDP ticket must be done, and timely too. 12 Likes 1 Share |

emkz:Who is Asue to contest Governorship in Edo? Don't you see how it looks? I bring you as my person to contest, you now leave me to go and negotiate with the people I am trying to negotiate, that means you have started Fubara-ing before you enter. I will pull the plug on you with immediate effect. Asue has made it clear through his 'Oga', he will pick any of them for Deputy, and they have simply said NO. For one thing, we agree that Edo South is the biggest and most populated senatorial district in Edo State. We have no doubt that there are competent men to lead our state there, and Ogbeide-Ihama is obviously competent. But let the Esans have it, and the best candidate across board is Asue Ighodalo.This has been my point 101%. This man distinguished himself in his law practice and as a corporate guru. We can attest and feel his impact within Edo State and on a national scale. We are glad that people like him are coming out to run Edo State. I'd have wished he is made economic adviser to the president so he can serve on a larger scale.I know the man, his competence isn't in doubts. But let me make it clearer, I don't think the problem here is the PDP ticket. Obaseki can simply muscle himself in that one if need be, the PDP NWC at this stage needs money so whomever they send down will just come there to take money and go back. The bigger election is the problem, where the anti-Party will be historic. vanitybutiwanti:You want to match a Governor dollar for dollar, how much Dem get?

vanitybutiwanti:I edited, the PDP has not named anyone.... Mutfwang was Chairman of the screening Committee. A Governor will only chair the Primaries but the main election is how they get the Ward Delegates and the thinking of the NWC. Obaseki will likely want to do it how he did before the General Election and I believe the Orbih people will have learnt one or two. 3 Likes |

vanitybutiwanti:You think he is negotiating because of money? Very funny.... Obaseki is negotiating because the NWC decides the adhoc ward delegates list that will be used for the Primaries, even if it is cooked in someone's parlour. Anyone the NWC approves is final, others can go to Court and will be told the Court cannot dabble into the internal affairs of a Political Party. The last election, both parties cooked, Ayu was pro-Obaseki and accepted his own. Now, Wike partly has a foothold and is now in Abuja so Obaseki is trying to make sure whomever they send does not do a Gulak. vanitybutiwanti:Wike's work is for the Primaries & Anti-Party, we are talking about Edo State. It is whomever majority want, will win. 4 Likes |
Re: Obaseki Moves To Mend Fences With Wike Ahead Of Edo Guber Primary by vanitybutiwanti: 11:49am On Jan 31 |
fergie001:Ayu had nothing to do with the last election, wike had to plead with the other group to give way for obaseki in his primaries, he said it in his new year luncheon, infact he asked ihama and orbih to stand while he narrated the story to the people In attendance. I also got feelers that obaseki paid the legacy group 6b, problem started when he failed to appoint the 4 commisioners from the legacy group as agreed in the meeting. 3 Likes |

vanitybutiwanti:He is telling a lie. Of course, politicians lie... He pleaded yet they pursued it to the Supreme Court or you didn't know the Apex Court ruled on it less than 2 months before the election? The Federal High Court, under Justice Inyang Ekwo, upheld Orbih's list, that is why Obaseki did not attend the Presidential Primaries and his people also did not attend, it was Orbih's people that voted. Obaseki's people appealed and the Appeal Court declined Jurisdiction and held that the Party was Supreme but did not make any consequential order. Orbih's people now approached the Supreme Court for interpretation, the Apex Court affirmed Obaseki 's list and held that the NWC's decision is FINAL. So how did he appeal to them, after the Supreme Court judgement? 1 Like |

fergie001:why did obaseki appreciate wike after the election? Why didn't obaseki come out to dispel the 'lies' after wikes speech at the luncheon? Wike specifically said obaseki doesn't keep to agreement in the luncheon, I guess they had to follow through with the cases because obaseki failed to live up to his own part of the bargain in terms of appointments after the elections. The orbih group had to make an attempt to retain the structure after obaseki renaged on the deal. I hope you know I'm alluding to pdp primaries in Edo state? 4 Likes |

vanitybutiwanti:You seem to be mixing 2020 & 2022/2023. See, this is not the first time Wike is calling Obaseki a betrayal, and I believe GO answered him once and left it at that, however, I am telling you Court cases that are in the open, taken to Court by Wike's people led by Dan Orbih and Ogbeide-Ihama (who was running for Edo South Senate) in 2022. For 2020 Which structure did Obaseki hold in 2020 when he won? His people in APC led by Anselm Ojezua had nothing because Orbih people insisted they will get Deputy-Governor. GO refused. Wike then used Ogbeide-Ihama (then Reps member representing Oredo) to file a case at the Rivers High Court to stop the primaries because Obaseki refused to drop Shaibu. The Court granted it ex-parte before it was struck out after some horse-trading. You have to understand that Ogbeide-Ihama was Wike's choice to fly the party ticket in 2020 but for feelers that Obaseki was coming over. Ihama had purchased forms already and had to step down on Wike's prompting. In 2022: It happened thus: - Two lists in the Ward Congresses -NWC dilly-dallied until both factions held Primaries, then picks that of Obaseki -Orbih group goes to Court, the rest is history. For 2024, the issue is simple: 1. The argument is that the legacy people led by Orbih is insisting that it will remain in Edo South simply because they believe that Central doesn't have the numbers to win. No names yet but Ogbeide-Ihama seems to be the front-runner. Again, Orbih controls the traditional members of the PDP. 2. For the legacy people, it's the right time to deal with Obaseki. TimeManager:Any idea on what the agreements were? |
