Edo Primary: APC Governors To Meet Tinubu Over Obaseki (31413 Views)

No.

Obaseki needs to meet and placate the APC Chieftains in Edo one by one like Chris Ogienwonyi, Pius Odubu, Solomon Edebiri, Amadasun, Charles Airhiavbere and the 14 House of Assembly he refused to permit their inauguration. Obaseki messed up by sidelining these political leaders thinking they were dispensable, which Oshiomole never did. Oshiomole is not the only factor that determines who takes the party ticket.

If Obaseki thinks a political maestro like Tinubu would talk to a dogged fighter like Oshiomole to accommodate Obaseki or a man of process like Buhari would interfere in a state's political matter, then Obaseki is not politically saavy and would make it easy to kick him out at the primaries or rigged out in the main elections.

Obaseki, save your honour and don't contest. Even if you win, Oshiomole would never take your name to INEC.

at this point I do not care who wins at the end.

Edo somehow has being blessed with credible candidates so far in the last 12years...hopefully the next is the best or better still the current governor retains his seat.


either way it's a win-win for Edo people.

Why on earth would a 'popular governor' be afraid of direct primaries? With the crisis in Edo APC, d only mode of election that can prevent a repeat of the Zamfara incident is a direct primary election. Why on earth is Obaseki afraid? He has d same access Ize-Iyamu and every other aspirant has to d party faithfuls. What is he jittery about? As an Edo man, truth be say Obaseki too Bleep up. Nobody knew him in Edo political circles prior to 2016. Oshiomole brought him in and practically ran his campaign for him. While I'm against godfatherism, there's what we call political patronage and Obaseki could have done that while still being his own man. But nah, he'd rather engage in an open fight with his predecessor and every party man. Imagine going as far as lobbying to have the NDDC appointment of the ex deputy governor revoked cause he is not from his camp. Would any of the so called progressive governors be happy if the Oshiomole treatment is meted to them by their successors who they almost singlehandedly installed? As for development, forget what u read online. I'm an Edo man and I can tell you for a fact that Obaseki hasn't done zilch apart from some civil service reforms and d repositioning of the primary and post primary education sectors. Infrastructurally, Obaseki is a non performer. How can anyone even be agitating for an indirect primary which is a cesspool of corruption as d few delegates selected can be easily influenced with state funds.
U are very biased!

If you think Tinubu is not relevant in Nigeria political sphere, most likely your assessment might not correct.

Inaugurated 10 out of 24, state house of assembly. They told him for peace to reign, first issue another proclamation to inaugurated all assembly while the 14 other should withdraw their case. They withdrawn their case but he never inaugurated them.

For the coming elections, the 14 will surely work against him in direct primary, even among the 10, most of them will still work against him. Obaseki shut all doors opened for reconciliation abusing his power to maltreat his political colleagues. What many do not understand is that the fight was never between Obaseki and Oshiomole but Obaseki and majority stakeholders in the state party. Oshiomole intervened and demanded for fairness but Obaseki turned the table against the peace maker (Oshiomole). He start telling the world that Oshiomole want to control his istration and he did not wht him develop the state. Oshiomole in his wisdom stay afar from him, keep mute when Obaseki and his teams were hurdling insult on him. Oshiomole went a step further by advising those who has been unjustly treated by Obaseki to threads the path of Peace and never to involve the judiciary. They listened and trust Oshiomole for his word.

As it stands now, no one can save him. Buhari will not come to his aid for his singular act of abusing his power on inaugurating a state assembly at night shutting out 14 out of 24 out. To even celebrate the judgement that ousted the National Chairman (Oshiomole) has sealed his fate with Buhari and the entire "Presidency". Ambode was even better, his own sin was, he sidelined all party executives and elder and scraped LAWMA an agency where over 80% are of the Party giving the contract to his close allays. In the current political setting in Nigeria, you can not say your party has no say in your istration, if you successfully complete your tenure, you will not get the next ticket.

Obaseki do not only sidelined major stakeholders of the state party, he rubbished them and cut them to nothing. Same thing that made Bayelsa lost to APC in the governorship election, no thanks to the deputy irregular names. Moreso, no matter what, in politics you should never be an ingrate. Buhari has and will never prosecute any case that will indict Jonathan because of Jonathan singular act of not contesting the election that brought him as President. His cabinet even Tinubu have no option when it became clearer to them in Buhari’s 2nd year in office, all cases (Metuh, Dasuki, FFK, etc) were pursue with glove hands. But Obaseki, in political ethics, failed in this regards.

God bless you! You’ll live long. In of infrastructure, Edo state has regressed so bad. The only worthy road Obaseki has done in 4 frigging years is TV road. Can you imagine?

A last minute peace deal will be sealed between oshiomole and obaseki.

Ize Iyamu was brought him to rattle obaseki so he can make more concessions. POI will not get the APC ticket,he will get something else he needs but not the ticket.

Oshiomole that cannot handle ordinary obaseki a political neophyte that will now say it's POI he trusts, I Know Osho isn't that dumb and will never trust the pastor that taught him politics.

Naija politicians operate like a mafia

U compare obaseki with Oshiomhole?
Obaseki works across the state from Benin to estako to ubiaja. How can u compare him to someone who was busy working only in his home town? The road oshiomhole refused to do for 8 years in ekpoma, obaseki did within his first two years. Obaseki do not select areas, every part of the state is benefitting from him. U can never compare him with oshiomhole's government! Oshiomhole that almost ruined the state owned university to build his own? Make una dey talk truth small!!!
I fear una!

Greed everywhere. You don do your term, comot make another person continue from where you stop.

Even if you want second term, you don't go about bragging and disrespecting same people who assisted you to become governor. After all the bragging, you are now running up and down begging.
Obaseki better do all the juju he can do to win, else, he better run away from naija like Ambode did. If not, him go hear am.

Oshiomole is only after Obaseki for his personal interest & that of the hungry & insatiable so called party leaders. It has nothing to do with the wider interest of Edo Citizens.

The state is abuzz with tremendous for Obaseki and Philip Shaibu. At the appointed time, Oshiomole and his unfortunate co travelers will be put to shame.

The source said, “The meeting with Tinubu is essentially to seek his intervention in the crisis rocking the party in Edo State. Part of the conditions being worked on, which the governor is expected to meet, is to swear in the remaining of the state House Assembly who have yet to be sworn in.

Why would Obaseki says elected individuals refused to be sworn in. He should confess the pressure and unwholesome condition he gave them to be sworn in. He wanted to get compulsory allegiance from them. Obaseki is the source of Edo's current political war

No discussion yet with Edo governor over defection, says PDP


Na now dey just wake up and realise that Obaseki has problem? About three different committees were set up to bring to an end the quarrel between the two but Obaseki didn't allow the committees to do their job, always claiming that the committees lacked credibility. I think it's too late. The man misbehaved a lot
