The oxford dictionary defines Lobbying as any attempt by individuals or private interest groups to influence the decisions of government.
Except we want to be hypocrites, there is no one of us that have not lobbied before. As humans we lobby in business to gain advantage and to will contracts. Let's be careful to note that lobby is different from bribery. Lobby is recognized by the constitution and it is not a crime to lobby. In fact is is a fundamental human right to lobby. Lobbying in some form is inevitable in any political system and it is done all over the word.
In the build up to an election, most persons who are contesting for office do not have the funds or connection to achieve their aim, hence the aspirants form campaign organizations by which they solicit for funds, connection and other form of assistance that will aid their victory in a legal way.

Quite recently, both the APC and PDP announced the price of their governorship nomination form at 22.5 million and 21 million naira respectively. The question is, how can an individual spend so much for just a party form? What about the campaign it self?

Now we can clearly see why it is difficult for a youth in his 30s to seek such office except they have strong financial back up. Financial donations are therefore very important in electioneering campaign. However, like the saying goes 'there is no free lunch in Freetown'.

While aspirants are going about soliciting for funds and other assistance through their campaign organizations, they will encounter people who will freely donate money and render them assistance because they have read their manifestos and believe in their agenda.

In most cases, these free givers only makes up 10% of campaign donations while the remaining 90% donations and assistance comes from individuals best referred to as LOBBYISTS.

After reading your manifesto, lobbyist looks for how they will benefit from your government if elected before they donate or render you any assistance. In most cases, they make sure they have written or oral agreement with you in front of credible witness.
This is the plight of tony kabaka that Edo people must understand. Kabaka as a lobbyist worked for Adams oshiomole in all his electioneering campaign and when oshiomole won he rewarded him with a contract to collect daily taxes.
Kabaka was under contract with the government of Adams Oshiomole to help collect daily taxes also known as tickets from motorists and bike riders in the 18 Local Government Areas of Edo state. Kabaka did this efficienly through his company 'Akugbe Ventures' throughout the tenure of Adams Oshiomole.
In the build up to the 2016 elections in Edo state, Kabaka as a lobbyist was in support of another aspirant but oshiomole convinced him to support his anointed candidate Godwin obaseki with the promise from both of them that he will renew kabaka's ticket collection contract.
However, this was not the case, when obaseki eventually won with the full support of kabaka and other party members, he cancelled his ticket collection contract and said he will be using technology to collect tickets henceforth and not manually.

This to me is a betrayal! Not just a betrayal of trust but a betrayal of agreement. Akugbe ventures had branches all over Edo state with approximately 1000 youths employed in the company. Now all those youths have been jobless for 4 years now. How do you think kabaka should feel?
Even if the Governor does not want them to collect tickets again, can't he compensate them in another way?
For those people calling kabaka a thief, the questions is what did he steal from you or the government? Did he not fufil the tax remittance agreement he had with oshiomole? Did oshiomole ever complained that they did not remitt complete tax?
All I see in those insulting kabaka is jelosy. Such people don't know anything about political investment and the game of lobby which is lawful.
Edo is wiser now and we are all ready to support the man of the people Pastor Osagie IZE IYAMU.

You are the problem of this country. How dare you make an attempt to justify the deeds of kabaka. A man that collects over 70million naira as monthly revenues from hardworking citizens and remits just 2.5 million naira to the state government. A man that celebrated 1 billion naira in Dubai but has no office address or a paid job. Today Edo State government generates over 100 million naira as monthly revenue from Oredo local government. It's a pity.

Before 2016, our monthly IGR was 306 million naira. Now, it is over 2 billion naira monthly.

You can bash Obaseki for any other of his actions and support whoever you want to support, bt please simp don't dare castigate d governor for puting the likes of kabaka in their place which is in d dust bin of d past.
You are trying to sound intelligent while defending agberos. You might be one though.

Pls go research and read on lobby and lobbying because u got d concept wrong.

Pa. Ehinmen, I just have a question for you.

If Kabaka was collecting all the tax and remitting it to the government, then what's the problem

Was Oshiomole not paying him for those services through out those years How many times will he be paid

What's Obaseki crime in wanting to use technology to collect tax

It's people like you that does not want Nigeria to work!

The only thing constant in life is CHANGE, from your submission, it's clear that Obaseki genuinely wants to work for the people!

I rest my case.
