Kate Osamor Elected As MP For Edmonton In Uk ( Photos) by argon500: 8:43am On May 08, 2015 |
NATIONAL Health Service (NHS) manager Kate Osamor has become the fourth Nigerian-born elected member of the British House of Commons after being elected as the MP for Edmonton in north London yesterday. Representing the Labour Party who had a generally bad night across the country, Ms Osamor was declared the winner in the north London seat with 25,388 votes. Her closest rival, Gonul Daniels of the Conservative Party ended up with 9,969 votes, making it a comfortable win for Ms Osamor. She now joins fellow Labour MPs Chi Onwurah representing Newcastle Central, who was returned with 19,301 votes and Chuka Umunna who was returned in Streatham with 26,474 votes. Helen Grant, the sole Nigerian MP in the Conservative Party is still awaiting the results of her election in Maidstone and the Weald. Ms Osamor, who has worked for the NHS for 15 years, is a trade union activist, a women's charity trustee and a member of the Labour Party's National Executive Committee. Martha Osamor, Ms Osamor's mother is a former Haringey councillor. In February this year, Ms Osamor was selected as the Labour Party's parliamentary candidate for the Edmonton constituency after stiff contest with fellow Nigerian diasporan Kate Anolue. She made funding the NHS, opposing its fragmentation and standing up to government cuts the centrepiece of her campaign. Despite this victory for the Labour Party in Edmonton, nationwide, the party appears to have had a disastrous result. It is expected to lose about 50 seats in Scotland alone to the Scottish National Party, who now have 56 members of parliament and in England, has made zero net gains against the Conservative Party. Prime minister David Cameron looks set to be return to Downing Street with a working majority this time as his coalition partners the Liberal Democrats got more or less obliterated. Leading Liberal Democrats like Danny Alexander, Vince Cable, Simon Hughes and Charles Kennedy all lost their seats in what was a disastrous night for the party.

Imagine Africans vying and winning elections in the UK without the queen threatening them with lagoon and the British calling them strangers? My advice to the parliamentarian-elects: Don't model any Nigerian politician especially Obasanjo and Tinubu 102 Likes 16 Shares |

Here is an African vying for and winning an election in Britain, while some of us back home are fond of screaming blue murder whenever a non-indigene of a state wants to contest for a position. It's about time we grew up politically in this country and rise up above mediocrity and triberlism. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

Meanwhile somewhere in a jungle nation in west Africa, a frog eyed cretin like governor who was just recently (s)elected to the senate ordered the sack of all non-indigenes from his state's civil service. The sacked workers included his fellow tribesmen from neighbouring states and even people married to indigenes of his state. Even the long serving civil servants who started working before the state was split into two were sacked and asked to go to their new state's civil service. And at the end of the day, some 'smart' fellow comes to tell me the problem is Yoruba or Awusa or Igbo or Christian or Muslim etc. 5 Likes |
