The Edo State Governor and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Godwin Obaseki, on Saturday, said the sacked national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comr. Adams Oshiomhole, has no regard for Benin people, adding that the former governor likens Benin people’s attitude to money the way chickens run after corn thrown at them.

Obaseki, who said this during his reelection campaign rally in Ogbe wards 1 and 2, in Oredo Local Government Area (LGA), noted that “This election is not a contest between my brother Osagie Ize-Iyamu and I, but between Oshiomhole and me. We have dealt with him at the national level and will bury him politically in this election.”

The governor’s reelection also got a major boost as 1, 000 tricycle riders from Ogbe Community in Oredo LGA endorsed the governor for a second term, promising to mobilise other voters across the state to ensure the governor’s victory at the poll.

Declaring their support through their Chairman, Mr. Aiworo Austin, the riders assured that all the tricycle riders in the state will vote massively for the PDP.

According to Obaseki, “The sacked APC national chairman has no regard for Benin people; he can't dictate to the majority; he has no regards for us in Oredo. Benin people are not like chickens that run after corn thrown at them and will render the former national chairman politically irrelevant for disrespecting Benin people.

“Our place in the scheme of things is not negotiable with somebody who does not have a pedigree, who does not have the qualification to determine the political direction in Edo. Oshiomhole cannot determine who governs the state for the majority of the Benin people.

“Oredo Local Government Area has been taken for granted for some years now. One of the things that caused our quarrel was that Oshiomhole wanted to choose who will represent me, the governor, in the state and national assemblies. Can you imagine that?

“Can you imagine the insult? That was when this fight started, because he believed in his mind that Benin people are like chickens that run after a thrown corn.

“Not all of us are cheap; not all of us are looking for money desperately. This election is about the future of young people in Edo; this election is to tell people that politics is not a dirty game. It is only dirty when dirty people play it.

"I know I will win the election. We have almost 50 thousand registered voters in Oredo. I want us to win with a very large margin that will shock the opposition. When Oshiomhole sees that we won with a large margin, he will not have the courage to talk again in Edo.”

nice advice. extend it to APC too.

Obaseki has devolved into crass tribalism.

Why didn't he expose Oshiomole when he allegedly made the statement?
SMH

Hasn't the Oba settled this dispute?

Both parties should engage the electorates and not this mudslinging.

In as far I am a core supporter of Obaseki. Oshiomole isn't wrong if he made that statement. Majority of the core Benin people are very crafty when it involves money. They can sell out immediately. I remember during our days in SUG in Ambrose Alli University. When an Esan man stands, nothing can change his mind. He will only eat your money and still stand where he belongs. Same with Etsako people. They are also known to stand on what they believe. You see core Benin people, they will sell you out and cash out.

Reason Oshiomole hates Esan people:
Oshiomole said nothing you can do to please Esan people. They will eat your money and still follow what they believed on. That is why he always say Esan man can never be trusted to wave when bought.

Late Chief Tony Anenih also made such statement. He said in 10mins you can buy a Benin man who have been shouting for 1year.

Its becos of Esan that is making Obaseki still the Governor and not impeached because all the HOA from Esan in his camp never waved when offered. But you see some from Benin, they shifted when offered 40mil each.

Most of them are like FFK. Lol. Anywhere belle face.

U dey point the other person while your 4 other fingers dey point at you.

Abeg, una two na the same category..

lmao mumu obaseki want to bring tribalism into it. i guess nyamiris influence is really working on him.

ize iyamu is your opponent on oshiohmole, obaseki that cant even speak benin is trying to play us

When someone is doomed

Oshiomhole made himself the main factor in this election rather than the APC candidate and should be ready to lose again just like he lost out, unceremoniously sacked and was disgraced out of his position as National chairman of APC.

Oshiomhole will be disgraced again with his bad choice of Ize iyamu come September 19 2020.

Obaseki is merely telling the truth of Oshiomhole’s unfortunately misguided & fallacious statement about a certain tribe. He’s not being tribalistic by any stretch of the imagination.

4+4 ogbane!!!

I don't know that this guy is empty?

you’re right

Obaseki should not bring tribalism into Edo state, because of he's ambition

This is wrong on all levels. Such desperation. The same Oshiomhole influenced the appointment of Odubu a Benin man as Nddc chairman congratulated even by the Oba but you went to court and joined strangers to truncate the appointment. Oshiomhole influenced the appointment of Ekhator a Benin palace chief into the nddc board but you made sure with your outsiders that the board was not inaugurated. Oshiomhole influenced the appointment of Osage a Benin into NigSat but the day he was removed you celebrated in govt house. Oshiomhole beautified the Kingsquare front of the palace but you made sure it was abandoned. Oshiomhole constructed roads with drainage and street lights around Benin. But you have not done one. Oshiomhole built a world class hospital in Benin, Oredo but you closed it for 3years and then gave your doctor friend from Warri to manage. These are a few.
Talk is cheap who is the enemy of Benin

Becos Oba settle dispute should stop them from campaigning?

lol, you really Sabi the game.

Esan man live on principles they can't be bought.

Do you know how much oshomole has thrown to ojezua since to stab obaseki yet he didn't.

Do you know how much Adams gave okiye to stab obaseki too yet he wouldn't.

I always say if obaseki has had the full backing of his Benin brothers he wouldn't have had problems.

Majority of those hoa not inugurated where fellow binis, the thugs and others causing issues in the state capital are his fellow binis.

Since this campaign, i doubt if there has been any violence, shooting, thuggery, tension in Esanland like we have seen in afemai and Benin, that is because Esan have one voice and those eating the other party money would flex it in peace and stick with their brothers

Ipob badluck has ruined your chance
