Choose Deputy Rightly. Edo LP Chieftain, Urge Guber Candidate By: Oriaifoh Godwins A Labour Party Chieftain in Edo state, Chief Dr. Patrick Osagie Eholor, aka  Ultimate Equal, and President, One Love Foundation, has advised the Labour Party, LP, Candidate in the upcoming Edo governorship election, to consult widely before choosing his Deputy, and not take a unilateral decision based on "money, or strength", especially bearing in mind that the woman who is being favoured by him, is looked at as a Yoruba woman, following the series of allegations to that effect, and moreso that the woman is not getting the requisite support from the people of her immediate constituency.  "..It took us some time to be able to clear out so many doubts about your state of origin and in particular the name 'Olumide' and now again the person whom you have chosen to be a Deputy, unfortunately is also flaunting her Yoruba name..."  Chief Eholor's advice is contained in an An Ope...

OBASEKI'S ABYSMAL FAILURE: Asuelimen Ighodalo, in same driver seat.  By: Henry J . Asuelimen Ighodalo, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Candidate, for the 2024 Edo Gubernatorial election, has nothing to offer Edolites. The Peoples Democratic Party Candidate, was the remote Chief economic strategist and invisible major driver of Godwin Obaseki's failed economic policies and programmes.  Edolites cannot afford to suffer for another 4 years of Godwin Obaseki misrule, as Asuelimen Ighodalo, that was anointed by Mr. Godwin Obaseki, and imposed on the Peoples Democratic Party, as their Candidate, will only continue with the misrule of Obaseki, that will eventually end in years of nothingness. God forbid! The clear alternative, who will work for the people, and restore the lost glory of Edo state, is the All Progressives Congress, APC, Candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo aka Akpakomiza. Akpakomiza, will restore and grow the State economy. With Senator Monday Okpebholo, Edo state...

EDO GUBER 2024: BETWEEN A NOISELESS WORKING SENATOR AND A BRANDED CANDIDATE  By Henry J By 24th April 2024 when the window of Campaign Will be uneveiled,  the temperature of the race of Edo Gubernatorial election would have risen to a boiling point.  Already, the drum of 'war' is gradually gathering momentum. The politicians have started subtle consultations, threats and boasting, testing the waters and building bridges, with alliances and re-alignment of forces in full swing preparatory to full blown campaigns.  The social media, the safest organ for spreading all manners of political mischief with little or no danger of facing libel charges is now awash with all shades of concocted stories designed to promote various interests of political parties of choice and the political gladiators.  The "Take Over Edo’’ slogan of the APC has continued to dominate conversations amongst party faithful though with no visible efforts to make it a reality.  "We must proje...

Akpakomiza's Calm Nature, Speaks Volume ...sends the right signals By: Oriaifoh Godwins People that talk less, but do more, I respect greatly. Those that talk more and do nothing, I totally disdain. However, those that don't talk much, but end up in speaking their minds by their actions, are great leaders. In view of the above, people of Edo State would have noticed that, in the past close to eight years now, Edo State have had a talking governor, who has been verbally active, but practically passive. Wait a minute please; before you condemn my opinion, please read on.... It will be recalled that, Mr. Obaseki, the governor of Edo State, promised to turn Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, to a World Class University; I was one of the then gullible people that, out of joy, experienced a 'premature erection' when he made that promise, but, Alas! Na audio. Many people in Edo North were elated when the governor promised them that an airport will be sited in Edo North; that was...

Commenting on the storm that was rising in Edo APC, Senator Okpebholo said; "...some people saw it as divisive, but it is actually a unifying phenomenon that eventually made our party to come out stronger, as a united force ahead of Edo governorship election coming up in September..." The APC Candidate made this known  recently, in an exclusive interview with Winning Media, after President Ahmed Bola Tinubu offically presented him with the APC Party flag. Continuing, Senator Okpebholo who emphasised...

APC LEADERSHIP:THE RUDDER AND RECTITUDE OF DIRECTION OF MONDAY OKPEBHOLO AND DENNIS IDAHOSA FACTORY SETTINGS Henry J. He who sweats more in training, bleeds less in war. It is commonly placed that, when a group performs low beneath  the expected benchmark, then there is the need to evaluate the head of such group. It requires the rudderless of a leadership to exhibit the needed rectitude and not rascality, to accord his group direction that is primed on the pivots progress. It is pertinent to acknowledge the ruddership of the current APC Leadership for giving muscle that is both timely and comely to addressing the altercation that could have wrecked the ship of our AGENDA for Edo State but for the gray matter harnesation of the leadership to have the right plug connection to the socket. This rightly connected plug has attracted new voltage of energy: vibrant, virulent and vigorous to determinedly pursued a vision that is precipitated on collective bargain and party inclusivity. The...

Ambassador Uhomoibhi Setting a Good Example… Politicians need to learn from him By: Oriaifoh Godwins In spite of the fact that some persons have always described politics as a dirty game, I have often maintained that; Politics is a very noble endeavor, but played by some persons that are dirty. In view of the above, the end result of the Primary elections in Edo state, conducted by the All Progressives Congress, APC, the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, and the Labor Party, LP, comes to mind. From the ‘Observers' corner’, Edo people are not unaware of all the intrigues, and scheming’s, the 'behind the curtains' transactions, that happened before and during the primaries conducted by all of these major political parties that have eventually identified their candidates for the Gubernatorial elections coming up later this year. Edo people that watched from a distance, as well as those that watched from a close range, all know that the erroneously but commonly used word, ‘Free...

OPINION DENCO, DANCO Don't Divide Edo APC...OKPEBHOLO is the new face of Edo 2024 By Henry J What brings a man down quickly from the mountain top of life is when he deliberately soil his heart with injustice, jealousy and unnecessary hatred against his fellow man. Yes, many political leaders are down today because they unjustly promoted mediocrity, unproductive fellows and arrogantly demoted top class professionals, hardworking and loyal supporters.  "Leaders must avoid the temptation of "absolute power" and reward loyalty with good, and not evil." It is also possible to become very  unpopular within a short period of time, and rejected by the people if you let your personal hatred for an individual provoke you to war against him unjustly. The end of it all is shame, regret and frustrations. I personally advised  Hon Dennis Idahosa to be circumspect and stop being used by negative forces to unjustly fight Senator Monday Okpebholo, the same way I have advise anot...

Edo Guber: PDP Aspirant  Urge Supporters To Remain Resolute in Changing Our Narrative By: Oriaifoh Godwins A former United Nations Boss, and the longest serving Permanent Secretary in the history of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Professor Martin Ihoeghian Uhomoibhi, OFR, who contested for Edo state governorship position under the auspices of the Peoples Democratic Party, and who was clearly the most outstanding of all the gubernatorial aspirants in the just concluded Edo guber primary election, has urged his teeming supporters to be resolute in changing our narrative for good in Edo State. Ambassador Uhomoibhi gave this advice in Benin city recently while speaking with a team of Newsmen. He said; "...we must remain stedfast in changing our narrative. We must not continue to allow mercantilists take advantage of the widespread poverty in the land to access political power..."  " ...for me, the delivery of the largest dividend of democracy to the largest numb...

Shuaibu’s Impeachment Saga: Personal Vendetta or Nemesis? By: Oriaifoh Godwins We live in a physical world that is spiritually controlled.  I have always told people that care to listen, that: Every action has an equal and opposite reactions. Inotherwords, whatever you sow, you will definitely reap…whatever you do, good or bad, will definitely come back to you in same measure. In the case of what is currently happening to Edo state Deputy Governor, Rt. Hon. Phillip Shuaibu however, I may not be completely right though, which is why the caption of this my write up bears a question mark. Some years back, when Rt. Hon. Victor Edoror was the Deputy Speaker to Rt. Hon. Kebiru Adjoto, in Edo state House of Assembly, EDHA, for whatever reason best known to the ‘players’ at that time, Edoror’s salaries were stopped. When he, Edoror, approached the then Speaker of the House Kebiru Adjoto, for explanations, Adjoto asked Edoror to go and SETTLE with the Deputy Governor, Phillip Shuaibu. On me...

OPINION PHILIP SHAUIBU, HIS CROCODILE TEARS, WHAT EDO PEOPLE MUST KNOW ABOUT HIS IMPEACHMENT SAGA. By: Henry J "Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them.  They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care.  Either case is a failure of leadership." -Colin Powell It is truly pitiful to witness the Edo State Deputy Governor walking around visiting the Edo State House of Assembly lawmakers appealing to them not to impeach him after the just concluded Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Gubernatorial Primary slap he received from Obaseki. Philip Shaibu, as Colin Powell rightly stated, has lost the trust of his troops, the Edo people, and the electorates.  People perceive him as self-centered and hostile to the growth of others. Where will Philip Shaibu begin his appeal? Is it from his political party, the PDP, that provided him shelter, and when he arrived, he threw the l...

 EDO APC:  Need For Guber Primary Election DISAGREEMENT To Be Resolved Amicably. By: Stanley Imhanruor Esq I have clinically reviewed the events that played out in the Edo State APC Primary Election of 17th February, 2024 and the rescheduled Primary Election of 22nd February, 2024. You will recall that after the declaration of results from eight (8) Local Government Areas in Edo State, the process was disrupted and the primary election was factionalized leading to the emergence of three candidates - Dennis Idshosa (Denco ), Sen. Monday Okpebholo (Akpokomiza ) and Anamero Dekeri as the  winners of the factional primary elections.  Consequently, the Independent Electoral Commission refused to recognize  any of the factional candidates as the winner of the primary election and  declared that the Edo State APC Primary Election was not conducted in line with the requisite guidelines. Thus, a supplementary primary election was conducted on 22nd February, 202...

It Will Take Another Generation to Fix Edo State By: Oriaifoh Godwins Every one has been yearning for a positive change in the wellbeing of the 'health' of Edo State, as Edo State has been 'sick' over the years, as a result of the fact that, those that have over the years been saddled with the responsibility of fixing the mess and give the people a better life, in terms of responsive representation, that creates enabling environment for businesses to thrive so that people's standard of living can be upgraded, have all along been deceiving the people with cosmetic so called projects that hardly stand the test of time; yet, every political season, they gather miscreants who they have deliberately impoverished, give them peanuts, to clap for them and hail them into power.  This has always been the trend, which is why Edo state has remained in this sorry state of quagmire for a long time now. For all I care, they can continue in their criminal activities, but they must ...
