*POLITICAL MISCALCULATIONS: The fall of a Man*

*By Hon. (Comr) Eromosele Ehisuan*
*President, Esan Agenda World Wide & Edo Coalition Movement*

We have told them that anyone that goes against Esan Agenda is against equity, fairness and justice. Therefore, the fall of the person will come faster.

We have never imposed the Esan Agenda on anyone, rather we have made appeals with all the gods of Esanland, our traditional rulers left their thrones and went round Edo South and Edo North for the purpose of Esan producing the next Governor of Edo State. Many listened and adhered to our appeals. Therefore, they joined the movement. God bless you all.

But Comr. Philip Shaibu's boys on one occasion wrote to discredit our traditional rulers. My team made a response to that and they withdrew. Some of them called me and apologized.

Rt. Hon. Philip Shaibu, our Deputy Governor was advised by his boss, Governor Godwin Obaseki to relax and let the Esan people have it, but he insulted his boss and started displaying youthful rascality in different occasions that he even discredited His Excellency in an event by coming late after the governor's arrival. It is an insult to the office of the Governor, because the Deputy shouldn't have come after his boss, rather he should have sitted, waiting for the arrival of his boss.

He disrespected the party leadership on the 22nd of February, 2024 by conducting a primary election by himself and declared himself a winner. It is an offence to be expelled by the State Working Committee (SWC), whereas, the party's legitimate primary election, supervised by all statutory bodies was conducted on that same day, which saw Dr. Asue Ighodalo as the authentic and legitimate candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to contest the September 21, Governorship Election. All aspirants were present in Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium for the primary election that Dr. Asue Ighodalo emerged the winner, except the two that withdrew from the race, Rt. Hon. Omoregie Ogbeide Ihama and Hon. Dr. Felix Ehiguese Akhabue, whose letters of withdrawal were sent to the National Working Committee.

The Deputy Governor insulted the office he occupies by constituting nuisance in the State and trying to unturn the smooth electorate process of the party recognized and supervised by INEC. He went further to travel all the way from Edo State to the National Office of the party in Abuja, requesting and demanding for a Certificate of Return without apologies. This is a disrespect to the office of the State Governor, who is also the leader of the party and he made caricature of the National Working Committee and the State Working Committee that have certified Dr. Asue Ighodalo winner of the party's primary election.

I believe the impeachment is long overdue. We as leaders and stakeholders of Edo Coalition Movement in conjunction with the Esan Agenda, have written a letter some weeks ago which went viral stating our position and frowned at the attitude of our dear Deputy Governor, advising him to tender an unreserved apology to the State Governor and the State Working Committee based on the youthful rascality displayed overtime. Well, the Edo State House of Assembly has deemed it necessary based on their own calculations as regard other impeachable offences to serve the Deputy Governor a notice of Impeachment, seeking his response within 7 days. It is a welcome development. We are in support of it.
