OSHIOMHOLE'S LAST DITCH EFFORT TO TRUNCATE THE WILL OF EDO PEOPLE MEETS RESISTANCE

by John Ewah

Everything seems over for Oshiomhole and Ize-Iyamu in Edo State as their last desperate attempt to truncate the will of Edo People meets with vehement resistance.

Statistics from the opinion poll sponsored by an acclaimed 'godfather' of Lagos politics and a certain Benin billionaire, has shown that the APC cannot get beyond 23% of total vote cast in the forthcoming gubernatorial election in Edo State, due to the putrid and ragged political reputation of the APC candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, amongst the Edo populace, which no amount of image laundering and reputation managers can launder.

Even more worrisome to the Ize-Iyamu camp are the concluding results of their campaign call centre which pegs their number of positive responses at 21%, that is if the figure was not inflated by them; as they have been known in the not too distant past to rig a primary election that had no opponents. These preelection results have sent electrifying shiver and panick down the spines of the Oshiomhole-ze-Iyamu camp.

With the reality of an impending and inevitable defeat staring them in the face, and with the ghosts of their atrocities haunting their inactive conscience, they decided to hatch this last failed plan to illegally inaugurate another House of Assembly, with an imported Mace from Imo State, in a desperate attempt to impeach the Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly alongside the Governor, with the backing of the alleged or so-called Abuja police, and thus install Victor Edoro as New Speaker and acting Governor of Edo State.

This to the people of Edo State, was an outright insult on their sensibilities and an attempt to outrightly truncate democracy and legitimate governance with illegality, and Edo people, in a bid to resist the aspiring godfathers and take their knees off their necks, converged at the State House of Assembly; the Anthony Enahoro Complex, at Kingsquare, Benin, to defend the integrity of their nascent democracy and the revolutionary governance which is currently taking over the Nigerian political terrain with Godwin Obaseki as the propelling force.

It did not matter to these political actors if the House of Assembly Complex was currently under renovation, they were willing to sit anyway and install an illegal speaker and Governor, in a country governed by a constitution. It is time President Muhammadu Buhari called these political comedians led by the Oshiomhole-Ize-Iyamu union to order.

Edo people more than ever are now ready to defend the freedom and rights which Democracy and the Nigerian constitution offer, as they are willing and capable of resisting any attempt to enthrone impunity and civil unrest, and uphold the sacrosanctity of the Nigerian Constitution.

It is time President Muhammadu Buhari called these political comedians led by the Oshiomhole-Ize-Iyamu union and Obaseki to order.

Say No to Godfatherism...

I don't think this one knows what really happened in Edo... In Edo that i know, the people are obviously tired of obawere as such, resist the police invasion..Obaseki dropped truck load of sand to block the Assembly, removed the roof of the house of assembly, used 5 members to impeach a deputy speaker.

Where was this idiot when all these happened...

Nonsense and ingredients...

Leave am, na cane we go use flog am for this Benin. Let him move freely like he used to before na.
A man whom the people brought to prominence will be brought down by the same people. He's making Obaseki look like a hero by the day. He's just fighting for his political survival and not for the wellbeing of Edo citizens, that's why we will resist him.
You need to come see the crowd at the House of assembly this morning. We can't surrender our patrimony to a band of thieves.

Too much Wisdom & Sense in one post!!!!!!

You have done well and will be rewarded

Meanwhile, all those our brothers from the West who want Obaseki's downfall just because he makes their entire race look weak, will learn one or two things about we Edos. We don't make noise about our destiny, we decide our own fate.
It has been our mantra in Bini that, and translates loosely to:
"This is were the man stood, fought and died; is better than, this is were he ran into the bush".

Like all self acclaimed political Godfathers who only positions themselves to feed fat on state funds and government allocations, Oshonmole should be fought to a stand still in Edo. It only takes greed for someone who ruled a state for eight years to still want to control the state machinery and funds by proxy.
