Delegates, Our Biggest Problem, Our Enemies By: Oriaifoh Godwins Our flawed selection process in identifying candidates by the different Political parties, is the main cause of our bad, irresponsive and irresponsible governments, at the Local, State and Federal levels in Nigeria as the so called DELEGATES, after being paid, simply sell off the future of a whole constituency to the highest bidder, irrespective of whether such a person is a buffoon, insane, or an imbecile…they are never bothered about who they vote for to represent their party, as long as they get their money. During electioneering periods such as the one we are about to begin very soon in Edo state, the process and criteria of selecting who gets the ticket, and eventually become the candidate of the political parties, will begin with the conduct of the primary elections, where the electoral college, the so called DELEGATES of the different political parties gather to vote for one out of the aspirants. THIS IS WHERE THE ...

Edo PDP Needs A Unifier Like Uhomoibhi By: Oriaifoh Godwins As Edo prepares for the 2024 governorship election, all appears not to be well in the hitherto united, strong and formidable Edo Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. Moreso, the speculated resolve of the incumbent governor of Edo state, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, to impose Asuen Ighodalo on the people of Edo state, has further compounded the problem for the party, as the negative body language of the few "Old PDP" members of the party is not pleasant at all. The experience of the people of Edo state in the past almost 8 years of Governor Obaseki's administration, who was himself imposed on them by Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has not been a palatable one. In view of this, a number of persons in the state, are against another imposition of candidate on the state. Also, series of defections of members out of the PDP, may eventually make the Peoples Democratic Party to lose the state to either the All Progressives Party, APC, or th...

 EDO 2024 GUBER: When Process is Fair, Equitable... By: Winwin Black Ehiabhi As Edo state prepares for the 2024 governorship election, the incumbent governor of Edo state, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has  said that the process of seeking for his successor, must be fair, equitable and inclusive. This is very commendable, especially bearing in mind that the process that produced him as a successor to Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, wasn’t fair, equitable and inclusive; it was a very fraudulent process, and if Mr. Obaseki is now willing and ready to put a stop to that infamous process, it will not only be a plus to him as a person, it will also wipe off a lot of anomalies of his administration, and he will finish well as a governor that stood by due process, and a governor that put right the hitherto wrongs of imposition of candidates on the people. However, if this his statement is a mere political statement like many others that he has been making, it will be a big tragedy to him. As all eye...

 Phillip Shuaibu Returning To APC?... Oshiomhole, Edoror, All G-14 EDHA Members, Watch Your Backs By: Oriaifoh Godwins Some people are of the opinion that; ‘Politics is a dirty game’, but I completely disagree with them.  In my opinion, Politics is not a dirty game; rather, it is a NOBLE GAME played by some people that are dirty. Such persons are “dirty”, because, they lack Principles, Discipline, Integrity, Sincerity of Purpose, and Loyalty to the people whose interests they claim they are representing; and they lack fairness and Truth. I gathered from the ‘rumors mills’ flying all over the social media space, that. Rt. Hon. Phillip Shuaibu has concluded arrangements to return to APC, and that he is to be welcomed by the National Working Committee, NWC, of the Party? Hmmm… wonders shall never end. I can vividly recall all that transpired before, during and after the duo of Mr. Godwin Obaseki, the Governor of Edo state, and his Deputy, Rt. Hon. Phillip Shuaibu did together bef...
