The Edo North senator, Adams Oshiomhole, has explained why he knelt before the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II.

Oshiomhole said he knelt before the Oba of Benin because he understood and respected the traditional institution of the Benin people.

He disclosed this while featuring on Channels TV Politics Today on Monday.

The lawmaker also noted that the outgoing governor, Godwin Obaseki was a failure.

Oshiomhole recounted that Obaseki could not point out any primary or secondary school he built during his eight year as governor.

According to Oshiomhole: “I’m excited that we won and I have the rare privilege of presiding over the affairs of Edo State as a governor for eight years and I understand the needs of the people. I know what the state was when I left and what it is today and to some extent, not a few people believe that I should be blamed for Obaseki’s failures and woeful performance.

“During the campaign, you listened to us and Obaseki; you can’t say he pointed at this ultra-modern primary school that he built or there is this secondary school he built. Instead, Ighodalo said he would extend broadband to Edo North. Earlier in the year, Obaseki and Ighodalo said they had done a feasibility study and there is approval from FAAN to construct an airport in Edo North.

“They assured the Oba of Benin that the great people of Benin will have a seaport in Ghereghere, they brought former Vice President Osinbajo to do a groundbreaking of the industrial park, yet none of this has taken place. If you go there, these places are occupied by Lizards and snakes.

“Even the drainage I did to deflood Benin City, he compromised it and this is rainy season, so the timing of this election was good for us and bad for the PDP because when it rains nobody can step out of his house.

“They have nothing to parade order than that Asue was the Chairman of one million boards and had made money, but what Edo people know him for is that he was just a transaction partner.

“As a sitting Governor of Edo State, I understand and respected the institution of the Oba of Benin and all the royal fathers of Edo State. I always kneel down before the Oba and will always do so, even when the current Oba asked me not to do so. A father is always a father.”

He talks too much

That is the truth. He came about the word Edo best to decieved us. Since is nearly eight years tenure, no student from the public school in the state has gotten one of the best results in WEAC and JAMB but only private school students has gotten the scores. What is now the benefit of his so called reform in education when no public school was celebrated from the state in national recognition. Schools were not built. Many public schools lack adequate teachers. The state own Ambrose Alli university fees was increased astronomically that many students couldn't pay. He closes college of agriculture situated in ovia for more than four years under the guise of total reconstruction and he only build Little building close to the school that he now opened when there were questions been asked by Edolite. He didn't pay staff salaries in those times.

You are all failures
If you call obaseki failure I wonder what you will call that 1st class Chicago olodo tinubu.

Obasaki don enter oshomole trap.He go use mouth roast dis guy

Obaseki fall im hand! Well, one man’s fall is another man’s rise. His opponents took advantage of his folly and lack of tact to floor whatever goodwill he may have garnered as an “oppressed” governor.

F**lish man, Nigeria is not a country but a group of Company.

Know this and know peace

Nigerian politicians will remain politicians. It's for the camera.

LiquidRay Concepts is on a project to design 100 business Fliers for 100 young Nigerian entrepreneurs at the price of $1 each.

Make use of this opportunity now before it elapses.

But the agbadorians were mocking Obi for showing the same respect to the Oba.

Oshiomhole recounted that Obaseki could not point out any primary or secondary school he built during his eight year as governor.

I wonder how these people see building schools as big achievement even when other necessary modalities are not put in place for effective learning like recruitment of qualified teachers and ensuring good welfare of teaching staff.

To them it's just to build schools and post on the internet.

Wickedfact:

You Peter Obi who didn't build schools and teachers were on strike for more than 7 months when he was Governor.
If not tribal hypocrisy and inbred stupidity, why are you ing Obi?

But Obi's Anambra state has been trouncing your state educationally since his tenure till now because of his legacy in education.
Go and !

Edolites voted for whom they want to govern them for the next 8 years.

May Prosperity comes their way.

God bless Edo State.

God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬.

We Rise ✔️

The indigenes of Edo state are so happy with this election outcome.
Not a single death or chaos was recorded as it has been happening since '99.

Even the revered Oba of Benin came out to celebrate 🍾 and give us some beautiful Edo dance steps 🕺 🕺 🕺 💃 💃 💃!!!

Na some children of hate, frustrations and perdition that have never visited Edo state for once in their miserable lives they cry on top this issue.

Enemies of the nation dem.

(Quote this post of you are one of them, inconsequential elements dem 😛 ).

Idiyo:
He talks too much

Face the message.

U may even talk more than the guy.


Face the message and leave the messenger

BigBrother9ja:
That Oba sef no get level

E dey mis yarn sometimes

The hype on this Oba is very senseless, as if he's the only king in the entire Edo State or for the entire Edo people.
He's just a king of Benin community. His kingdom and rulership on covers for his Benin people and not all Edo State people.

Who covers the uncovered parts?
