I Never Thought I Would Even Be A Councillor — Oshiomhole by KingOvoramwen1(m): 12:45pm On Nov 20, 2016 |
IMMEDIATE past governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, was received back home yesterday by the people of Edo North after his eight years’ stay at Bini-City Govt House, even as Oshiomhole claimed he never thought he could even be a councillor in life. The Auchi Polytechnic ground was full to the brim as people waited from 10am till 4:50pm when Oshiomhole, who was earlier at the governorship campaign rally in Ondo State, arrived with his wife Lara. Traditional rulers, politicians from the zone, including the deputy governor of the state, Philip Shaibu, were on ground to welcome the man whom the Otaru of Auchi described as the “hero of our time”. Governor Godwin Obaseki and his wife Betsy arrived the venue five minutes after Oshiomhole got there. Oshiomhole Other dignitaries at the event includes the Secretary to the State Government, Osarodion Ogie; Chief of staff to the Governor; Taiwo Akerele; state Chairman of the APC, Anslem Ojezua; Patrick Obahiagbon; PDP House of Representatives member, EJ Agbonayinma; Senator Francis Alimekhena and many others. The Chairman of the organizing committee and former Commissioner for Local Governments and Chieftaincy Affairs in the state, Chief Tom Uloko, said the people of Edo North were proud to welcome Oshiomhole back home due to the way he transformed Edo irrespective of the paucity of funds and his doggedness in the fight against god fathers in the state. Responding, Oshiomhole, who apologized for coming late for the event, explained he could not have left the Ondo rally since it was another serious business for the APC. Expressing his gratitude to God and the people of the state for supporting him throughout his tenure, Oshiomhole asked those he may have offended to forgive him. His words: “I want to say I am indebted with the opportunity given to me to serve Edo. My mother is here and I wonder what she might be thinking now, because none of us in my family ever thought anybody could even be a councillor. So I am very grateful to God. “They were several things we wanted to do across the three senatorial districts but with the sudden crash in our finances, we were unable to do them. But no government will be able to solve all the problems and I thank God we have another APC governor, in the person of Godwin Obaseki, who understands the problem and knows what to do. “We did our best in the 192 wards but we still have challenges and I know Godwin will tackle those challenges. I want say I am sorry for those I may have offended without knowing but the ones I did to instil discipline I stood by it. We were not perfect but I thank you people for tolerating our excesses. Obaseki will do better than me and we pray God to guide him because I am happy he is a worthy successor”. Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/11/never-thought-councillor-oshiomhole/

BornStunner1: I wanted to insult you but I just wanna be civil so to avoid ban. How many times would they tell you Taiwo Akerele is from Igarra in Akoko Edo LGA? Who made him a Yoruba man? He's from my community and wouldn't tolerate it when next you sell him to the Yorubas. Besides, do you know how many Hausa-Fulani/Igbo aides Ambode has? Why trynna cause e-war where there's none? Abeg swerve joor. |

BornStunner1: You're a wacko boy. Tell me how the people of Akoko Edo migrated from Ondo! Little wonder Lucky Igbinedion marginalised the people of Akoko Edo when he was the Governor. |

BornStunner1: You don't have sense. Akoko Edo (man) represented Edo North at the 7th Senate. Akoko Edo just produced the CoS and Chief Press Secretary now and you're still here blabbing. So senseless! We are from Akoko Edo and we do not speak Yoruba as our first language. I don't even understand Yoruba. What now makes us Yoruba?? You must be out of your senses. |

BornStunner1: You're yearning like a goat and not a human being. I've never been a Yoruba man and why should I deny it? Yoruba people are successful people and I would be glad to be one. So why should I deny them? You ain't making sense abeg. You sound like a deranged fellow. |
Re: I Never Thought I Would Even Be A Councillor — Oshiomhole by MONITZ: 2:53pm On Nov 20, 2016 |
BornStunner1: Are the yorubas not a part of Edo state??I mean the Akoko - Edos particularly,Edo state is a miniscule Nigeria because it has most tribes as natives. |
Re: I Never Thought I Would Even Be A Councillor — Oshiomhole by donphilopus: 2:56pm On Nov 20, 2016 |
BornStunner1: A foolish comment from a fool. Taiwo Akerele is from Igarra the HEADQUARTERS of Akoko Edo LGA. I'm also from Igarra the headquarters. Pls now tell me how Igarra is in Afemai soil! BTW, Akoko Edo gave Obaseki 30,000 votes. Can you proudly post the number of votes your LG gave to Obaseki?? You fool shouldn't tell me you're from Oredo because you behave like one village boy from a rural area in Benin. |

Re: I Never Thought I Would Even Be A Councillor — Oshiomhole by donphilopus: 3:02pm On Nov 20, 2016 |
MONITZ: The guy is just an illiterate who doesn't know anything. The so-called Yorubas gave Obaseki the second highest votes in the just concluded elections in Edo State. What the fool doesn't know is that Akoko Edo has over 46 villages and towns and is one of the largest LG in Nigeria. When Etsako was one, Akoko Edo was one as well. When Esan was one, Akoko Edo was one as well. When Owan was one, Akoko Edo was one as well. Now Etsako has been divided to three, Esan to five and Owan to two and Akoko Edo is still one. And the fool is telling me Akoko Edo is small. I would advise him to travel outside Benin and stop depending on money from Italy. 1 Like |
