Oshiomoles first tenure he worked but his second tenure he encouraged thuggery and people like Tony kababa and nomoless became a lord that was in the pain of the people

senatordave1:


Not when oshiobaba is fronting him

GamalNasser:


Exactly there is nobody I fear in APC like that Oshiomole , the man is doggedly dangerous..Just see how he has almost achieved a checkmate against Obaseki , Obaseki has only one move to pull and if he pulls it wrong it's Checkmate

senatordave1:


No sir.it doesn't work that way.let me give you a synopsis.according to the party constitution, Adams will set up a committee that will have to go and conduct the primaries.you know Adams will only include people he trust.they can decide to just deceive inec and allow a superficial election in all the wards.they are two factions one loyal to Adams,the other to obaseki.of course,they will accept the results of the ones loyal to adams and announce it and later go back to abuja and present it to adams who will forward it to inec.

Again,they can simply go to Benin,lodge in a hotel and prepare any fictitious result and announce.this was what happened in IMO to nwosu and also in bayelsa.as you can see,obaseki has lost

martineverest:
and u think the contingents will support Oshiomhole??....even if Oshiomhole bride them,they will still stand for obaseki....u really don't know the kind of hatred Edo people got for Oshiomhole


do u even know Oshiomhole isn't from benin and esan??...the 2 major ethnic groups in edo

Quelme:
the issue of turn out is a topic for another day. Oshiomoles time as governor still remains the best ever since the days of Samuel Osaigbovo Ogbemudia.

Daum:

all these are needless rant let's wait for d primary

June I think....

People they forget wetin dem dy call power of incumbency. Even if Obaseki is not a politician, Philip Shuaibu the deputy is a rugged and dogged one. He has all the agberos he needs.

Na Philip boys they rig election for Edo north. Na Philip get thugs. Philip na grassroots for Edo north. You think Oyegun go fold hands abi. All the people Oshiomole insulted and disgraced in his time are the ones pushing Obaseki.

princdebola201:
Obaseki already have division on his camp, he is trying to manage it thats why he has not been attacking oshomole lately.

Obaseki will spend money like ambode did with lagos primary, but political machinery that brought him to power will sweep him aside

Esseite:


Sometimes ones wonders the level of IQ an average partisan Nigerian youth has..

Now Ize iyamu who contested under PDP in the last Guber is now the next best thing after sliced bread while Obaseki who was the cherry in the last guber is now under Igbo supporters...

The antecedents which are supposed to be used as gauges are not neccessary anymore, yet you seek a brighter future...

The reason why we have a certificate-less president is not far fetched, stupid begets stupid.

martineverest:
says someone who hasn't been to Edo State

Oshiomhole isn't even as powerful as Shuaibu is his senatorial district...obaseki is unmatched in Edo state

senatordave1:


That is real politics.that he hated a bad godfather
Doesn't mean he won't accept or even be a progressive godfather

Quelme:
are you in Benin? How far that Osakpawman Eriyo case? That guy still dey Oko?

senatordave1:


Guy,ibori is a terrible godfather,the worst of its kind.while he performed well,he has brought failures to succeed him.at least oshio brought Godwin who performed but was not loyal.the difference is that ibori gave his boys freedom to rule so far as they gave him his cut...

If obaseki was intelligent, he should have presented and managed with Adams this first term till he gets second term.this is common sense.tinubu is the real godfather

jamoyakz:

what will work for obaseki is that he has philip shuaibu and Osarodion Ogie in his camp even oshiomole is scared of Philip Shuaibu don't underestimate Obaseki and the villa cabal that is still waxing strong even after the demise of Abba Kyari

TheOgaBoss:
even during Osho's tenure the senators for Edo South and central were both pdp, so what exactly is your point?

Meninmen:



Lol. Confronting who? Ize-iyamu is the normal politician in Edo state. Obaseki is ready to fight dirty, but even if Ize iyamu wins, mark my words, Oshiomole can't control him. It will just be like PDP ruling the state

Daum:
politics is not all about who get or share money pass.party delegate go collect obaseki money still vote against am

Obaseki has many powerful northern Oligarchs in his backs. From dangote to Rabiu of Bus cement. See, Oshiomole na party chairman, how does he want to control military. For what we know, Obaseki is not in the bad books of Buhari so calm down. Who won share money pass....Obaseki has state resources to use, state money dy him hand to share give voters...where Oshiomole won see money share....I dy laff

Daum:



Oga na Oshiomole increase school feed baba

martineverest:
u know the last election was rigged despite it was a close tie....the last oba was a reserved king (and it gave Oshiomhole time to do whatever he liked),the current one is very proactive.t


the fact the the most powerful man in Edo State ,oba of Benin is pro-obaseki, Oshiomhole can NEVER come back to Edo state....the oba wants development,not criminals,thieves and cultists like Oshiomhole,iyamu and kabaka

martineverest:
Edo APC prefer obaseki, they even expelled Oshiomhole from state activities.....Shuaibu is more powerful than Oshiomhole in Edo north, Oshiomhole's region..ogie is the most powerful politicianbin Edo south (Benin)....Edo central is pdp

toogbasky:
Go get your facts right,, na the school i finish and my younger brother is still there,, we know how much we are paying;; when Oshobaba increase school fees,, students blocked the entire Express road for days,, he had to bring fees back to normal

Onlyonebuhari:


A major General has no certificate? Please tell us how many degree do you have in national idiot and miscreant?

Meninmen:

SIONKPO1:

Nwosu was not a seating governor but Rocha's
Even if Abuja thieves will be on ground but they can't. easily be manipulative in the wards the elections will take place

Daum:


The rugged SSG.
You dy Benin abeg.
Leave all those people typing from Lagos

odigbosky:



Well he is a godfather to his boys..
Well while his successors have performed woefully unlike Lagos, they are still loyal to him. He hasn't lost his power. Oshiomole is on the verge of loosing his power when Obaseki wins

ramatintin:
this Philip shuaibu u are talking about was it not oshobaba influence that made him a house of representative member.
