The concept of godfatherism in Nigerian politics is a huge concern to everyone interested in making Nigeria a better place. Godfatherism has eaten deep into the Nigerian political system and is a threat to the democratic system we have in the country. As a citizen, this should concern you. #EdoNoBeLagos

We’ve seen this play out in Kano and Lagos. We’ve seen vivid instances that prove how godfatherism doesn’t help our country. 

The power to vote in and vote out any candidate is expected to lie in the hands of the masses and not some godfathers. 

Now in Edo State, the ugly head of godfatherism has risen to obstruct democracy and democratic elections. In an abysmal display of betrayal, it is sad that the ex-Governor of Edo state who once had the support of Edo citizens to defeat godfatherism is now aspiring to be the new godfather in Edo State.

In a recent display of misjudgement, the ex-governor went on his knees to beg traditional rulers on behalf of his preferred candidate, Osagie Ize-Iyamu. A candidate who he has vilified in the past for not being qualified for this same position.

This is an insult to the intelligence of the people of Edo state. Moreover, do the people of Edo state not matter? Do their voices not count? Should efforts not be geared towards convincing people that their preferred candidate is credible and fit for the position? This is a betrayal of trust that Edo citizens will not stand for.   

In a sane political climate, all candidates are supposed to present a slate free of criminal accusations. We will leave it to the court of Law to determine innocence, but the people of Edo state will not entrust their funds to an accused person.  

We cannot allow the concept of godfatherism to stand in Edo State at all. What we ought to pursue is, democracy and rule of law. Let the governor preside over state matters without any undue influence or pressure

Governor Godwin Obaseki posits that the will of the people should be the supreme determinant in elections. Edo state is not about to become Lagos State where citizens cannot breathe, and policies cannot be implemented unless it is approved by the ‘Strongman’.

#BetterWithPDP

If all Gov. Godwin Obaseki wanted was a second term in office, he would’ve easily agreed to share Edo state treasury with “Godfathers”, and they will support him; but he refused to share the treasury with Oshiomole and Tinubu, and chose to take side with the people of Edo state, to protect their treasury, continue his good works, and give back power to the people of Edo state.


#EdoIsNotLagos #BetterWithPDP

Edo people in this place, what say ye this day about the opinion above??

There should be end to every nonsense. There should be end to godfatherism menace. I support Obaseki

OBASEKI we know & trust.

Not some desperate charlatan seeking power by all means.

'Obaseki Carry Go'.... Is the song

Even we the good people of Edo state in diaspora has rejected the antics of Adams and his gang of APC thieves. Obaseki is doing well, APC can not just decide the future of Edo people because Obaseki refused to play ball. We stand gidigba with Obaseki and my family over there and even community will always support him because he's a good man with good intentions.

Say no to ugly Obaseki godfather wannabe without any achievements for four years except demolishing State Assembly and fighting almost everybody in the state

Mean while Edo no be Abia State home of Orji Godfatherism



.

Despite so called "Federal might", and the planned invasion of EDO by the Police and armed forces, the will of the people will prevail. We've seen it in Rivers.

OBASEKI 2020; Done and Dusted.

Oshiomole wants to arrogate the power to appoint and fire governors as he pleases just like Tinubu of Lagos. #EdoIsNotLagos #BetterWithPDP
