Gov. Godwin Obaseki Seeks other Options as Efforts to Secure former Governor's and The Current National Chairman of the party Support for his 2nd tenure Fails...

It becoming more obvious that the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and the formar Governor of Edo state Com.Adams Aliu Oshiomole will not change his mind on his decision not to support Governor Godwin Obaseki second term of office ambition, the embattled governor is w

Looking at other options and believe will soon make his next move public,

Although Com.Adams Oshiomole has not spoken publicly about his reported opposition to Obaseki’s ambition, but the group known as Anybody,But Obaseki 2020 gathered that the distinguished national chairman is already penny names down of those who will likely take over from the Governor.

Its not also a news that among the current excos of this present government are also negotiating seriously for the Number one seat.many who have secretly launched their intention to take over Obaseki's job are

1. Hon Osarodion Ogie.. He is the current state sec to the present government and he was one of the major contestants in 2015 is still nurturing the ambition seriously.and it shows on his involvement in various union and youth elections in the state.e.g NUJ,NYCN EDO STATE, and many others.

2, Another new And likely contestant is the present Commissioner of Art and Culture

Hon Ero, he is a young and vibrant man who believes he has been able to change the phase of the state internationally and he is capable of leading the state to the next level.

3, Osaro Idah who is one of the major current exco of the state party is also weighing his weight to see how he can be featured among those who will pilot the state affairs.

4, General Charles the formal military man who have onces contested under opposition party Have also contested under the platform of APC In 2015 is also making serious move to replace the current Governor, and he seems to also have higher chance to get the ticket

5, Dr.Prof Ebegue Amadasun is professor of Medicine university of Benin who was also a contestant may also likely to pull a string but we believe he has been quiet for some time and has far gone back to class room may just decide to face his job only time will tell.

Others who is fully on ground and still negotiating seriously are Hon.Ogiewonwon,Dr Pius Odubu,Barr.Idahagbon, and others.

But must of the Governor's aides kept hope alive that a lot of discussions were still ongoing.

The options, according to his close aides, who spoke out during the week on condition of anonymity, are, stepping down or moving to another party. because without Com.Adams’s support, he has no other structure with which to fight; join another party as proposed by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)

In the event that Com.Adams remains adamant and withholds support, aides said, the most viable option for Obaseki is to step down and go home.because he did not prepare for the prevailing circumstances,” said an aide, “therefore, he does not have alternative plan to respond to his dilemma.”

Brought in from political obscurity by Com.Adams Oshiomole and helped into office through the massive political machinery

The initial attempts he made, said his aides, were stoutly resisted by the political establishment.

“The few policy changes he has made and appointments he made were seen as a move by him to stand alone and assert his authority. This is what has brought him to the current sorry state,” said another aide.

Without a structure of his own, his close associates, according to sources, are advising him to step down and let go. “After all, he was in his quiet corner before he was asked to come and be governor. If they don’t want him again, why would he fight them? How will he do it anyway?” said a source.

The thinking, said another source, is that a soft landing could be arranged for Obaseki whereby he would be allowed to serve out his term and go home in peace without any further molestation, which could include removal from office since his traducers have control of the House of Assembly.

The other two options, said a close associate, could not be contemplated without serious complications and consequences.

According to him, “Yes, he could join another party, as being proposed by the PDP but that could be grievous as the APC dominated House of Assembly could move against him before the general election



But a few of his associates still hope that a miracle could still happen even when the signs are clear that Oshiomole risks internal revolt if he decides to back down and support him.

Also the group leader of ANYBODY,BUT GODWIN OBASEKI
2020 HON.UYI OSATO said the Governor is been accused of miss appropriation of government funds and that for almost 4years he can not point to a meaningful project he has done. And that the people are tired of his leadership style.he also said the Governor should come out and tell how many edo people has he giving job to,who are those handling the contracts, what he has used the security votes for.etc.

We will keep you updated as the matters unfold.

Na where God wan punish this chimpanzee of a human e dey dance go so...

The only semblance of a governor the state has known in this dispensation?

Obaseki has obviously refused to open the state's treasury up for pilfering by the useless ugly Tinubu wanna be ape..

Obaseki could decide to roll on even the obscure AAC platform and still humiliate Oshiomhole if he so decides...but I'm very certain the smart Administrator won't be towing their do or die line of politics because he has a life very well going even while he is presently a governor in the form of his company Afrinvest.

Useless evil megalomaniacs...he's miffed to see Obaseki channelling the hitherto looted funds to fixing all the roads in Edo to the admiration of the citizens and open indictment on his 8 years of looting.

Thunder fire all of una there...

Oshomole wan turn Jagaban of Edo.

Oshiomole wanna pull Tinubu stunt in Edo state? More like jagaban of Edo. Btw why is Prof Oshodin not among those considered as replacement?

Misappropriation of government funds for 4years? Iffa hear .
Edo is working again thanks to Governor Godwin Obaseki, although he needs to step up his game more.

Oshomole wan turn Jagaban of Edo.

impossible, nobody can try that nonsense with us.

Beer parlor talk,

Obaseki is on track for a 2nd term, he won 24 seats in house of assembly last election.


Oshomole has no choice than support obaseki

Igbobyblood:
impossible, nobody can try that nonsense with us.

He is about to attempt it.

I don't think the Ambode treatment is possible in Edo state cos I know the Edo guys when they like you they like you especially wen you come dey try .


This like was applied to osho against osunbor then even after 2yrs and given the effort of the prof at that time they still clamoured for osho.

This is the first real educated governor apart from prof osunbor who had a short spell Edo state been able to project ...more also his policies are sound and update .



This is one I think osho will get it all wrong here ..mark my words !!!

Thought they said this dude is trying now.

Why are all these selfish politicians cutting short the reign of all these technocrats in politics.

Same thing they did to Abode.

As a journalist working in Benin, I have seen the rift between these two. Obaseki has been playing the educated one, unlike his street-lord predecessor. During the last elections he said edo people should vote their choice, this is a big contrast to Oshiomhole.

Edo politics must be played with money. Yes money. When the youths, the women, see money, they'd support you to the end. But Obaseki knows the financial condition OshioBaba left Edo before living, so he has refused to share funds. Many youths loyal to the ex governor withdrew their support.

Obaseki does not care if he's re-elected or not, he has always said without a second tenure he'd still be remembered as a governor. And he'd receive his entitlements just like the others.

But, during the last elections we saw a different Obaseki. If he was able to deliver 24 out 24 house assembly seats after playing ball with the youths, do you think anyone, even Mr Chairman can stop him?

then you don't know Edo state politics.

Even as obaseki as a flag bearer with oshiomole support, I doubt he can still win

Ambode deserve it, he was not doing anything in Lagos but that of Obaseki, he is working.

For those making noise here oshomole wouldn't fight obaseki reelection, in fact when campaigning for buhari he would always thank Edo for their support for obaseki.


Yes he didn't expect obaseki to become a man of his own decision but he won't go against him at all (its like the tinubu vs fashola 2nd term stuff when tinubu took the wise option).

Oshomole still gets shade from obaseki ignoring Adams tenure so oshomole won't gamble that when he can as well support obaseki again with the possibility of his cousin taking over.


By the way majority of edolites are sympathetic to obaseki for his strides and would be fully united to punish oshomole if he fights obaseki.

From the snippets of this thread,you can see how heavily supported and loved obaseki is.even pastor iyamu will vote him
