By: Michael Ezomor I write this piece, to quiz our minds and awaken our spirits to certain pertinent issues that some think does not matter, but are actually the matters arising in determining our daily lives, destiny, as well as the destinies of our generation. Before I go on however, I want to strongly warn that this writeup is not is meant only for those for those with good conscience. In my opinion, anointing of a successor, and imposing same on the people by an incumbent governor, is meant only to cover up the skeletons the outgoing governor is leaving behind, nothing more. All that story about continuity, are all rubbish; as such, anointing and imposition of a successor, by the incumbent, is the main reason why corruption, embezzlement of public funds, etc continue in government.

 EDO 2024 EDO STATE SHOULD GET IT RIGHT NOW OR NEVER By: Oriaifoh Godwins As Edo state prepares for the 2024 governorship election, it is time for Edo state delegates that are responsible for choosing the candidates in the respective political parties as well as the electorates that will finally cast their votes for candidates of their choice, to know the implication of allowing any sentiments, including financial inducements to take a centre stage in their decision making, in casting their votes for any candidate.
