Edo politics

The man luk like OBASEKI's bro

this mumu man called Inec governor what does he know about stealing, even if they mention the amount stolen he couldn’t still not pronounce it correctly.

The money is confusing……

Oshiomole is the one suspending them not the Inec and Oshiomole elect Governor.

Tribunal should not be bias on their judgment, return my dear state back someone whom will not be hiding from the press and can’t attend a meetings for fellow governors.

Thieves everywhere in my beloved Nigeria.

Them don start

You talk, write like an educated illiterate

Wallai

Hmmm

A house built with saliva will be pulled down by the morning dew

The thievery of the average Nigerian is baffling.

When were this people appointed!?

Less than 3 months and they are getting suspended?

You mean these men can't survive in life without their wide mouths latched onto the teat of government patronage?

Samson Osagie has been a HOR for years now but look at this

Why people like Samson Osagie is still getting appointments despite history of non-performance still amazes me.

Nigeria and democracy are 2 parallel lines that can never meet. Whatever works in other countries, becomes opposite in Nigeria.

Corruption in every offices and position in naija

Wonderful

Good one from the Guv' 👍

Imagine less than three months in Office they have started stealing. Okpebholo quickly assembled a team of brigands that were retired by Obaseki just to spite Obaseki.
The Binis will learn new things from Okpebholo.
Samson Osagie who occupies the highest position given to any Bini person in okpebholo government will definitely be replaced by an Esan person.
But don't worry, Asue Ighodalo is coming.
Edo shall be great again.

They couldn’t wait to get into office.

As he no sabi money unkor. I believe say na brief them brief am. If say na just him,he won't even know they run street behind him. He no even bold investigate Obaseki,Abi na the same color them dey fly ni?

Between Obaseki and Lucky Igbenidion,I don't even know who chop Edo .

Thieves everywhere in Nigeria. Less than three months in office, and they’re already caught up in financial scandals. How do you start looting before even settling into the job? This is why the country is struggling—public officials see positions as an opportunity to enrich themselves instead of serving the people. Let’s hope the investigation isn’t just for show.

A government sworn in just yesterday?

AGS wey you just appointed amhow many months ago

Is it possible the man is seen to be working with the opposition


Naija politics sef

A very big one for that matter. How does the suspension of both about financial inducement, relates to Oshiomole. Okpeboho should be commended for even having the courage for suspending them. They are big wigs. If you know Edo politics you will understand better. We have to many educated illiterate on this platform.
