Oshiomole
picks an Etsako running mate for Obaseki, with the hope Etsako that
will have enough votes for APC, nice move, while also thinking that
there are some foolish Esan people who will secure votes for him and
settle for speakership, a position they never got in seven and half
years, even when the zoning suggested it should have been so.
Well, calculations have changed, while in the time past Esan was the
decider, until Oshiomole deceived even the Binis and some Esan people to
gain overwhelming victory over General Charles, it has returned to the
status quo ante. Esan will vote PDP, Esan in Benin will vote PDP, Binis
will vote PDP, from Orhiomwon to Iguobazua.
Etsako west already has a PDP representative in the house of assembly,
confirmed by the court, and Akoko-Edo is traditionally PDP. Other
factors to note is, Okpella and Ibilo, with Oshiomole aiding Dangote to
steal their lands, they won’t vote for Godwin, a Dangote candidate.
The church of Christ is solidly behind Ize-Iyamu, a pastor and a social
crusader. Other factors to note are the failed promises by APC on state
level, that have now been more amplified by their national leaders who
are still groping in the dark as the economy sinks lower than even the
evil days of Abacha, the lopsidedness of APC national appointment etc. a
vote for APC is akin to casting your pearls at swines again!
They have trampled they have trampled on the people’s good will and have
turned on them. Who will forget go and die? Political aides of deputy
governor Odubu’s sacked at random and the arrest of a park chairmen
forcing drivers to part with their PVC before they can work?
Nobody in Bini will be in a hurry to forget the recent storm that
submerged vehicles and houses just a few days ago, 100 billion have been
spent on Bini storm water control in the past seven years. What of the
celebration of multiple billions by street thugs who are now notable
people in the society, while pensioners are dying and salaries come in
trickles?
Edo missed it over seven years ago, when they decided that a street thug
is better than a philosophical king, that a tailor is better than a
professor of Law! Now it is time to right the wrong, while Oshiomole
pranced about, from one state to another, pretending to be fighting for
the right of the people, while he carefully avoided Edo state.
He never achieve anything. He never reduced fuel price and he never
fought for Edo workers, being gullible, artesian rallied around him to
help him win, then he went after the most of them, while he selected a
few to enrich and terrorize the general populace.
A prince of Bini kingdom was slapped by a thug, recently, a local
government chairman was slapped right there in the Secretariat, before
the Royal palace and the state Assembly and the people of Edo, his only
crime was trying to regain his mandate stolen by Oshiomole.
The draconian rule Edo have been subjected in these seven and half years
should come to a stop, Ekiadolor and Igueben would like their higher
institutions to be at par with the Edo University, built in record time
in Iyambo! Esan, Bini and Owan would like to see projects on the ground,
projects not struggling to see the light after seven and half years.
While rains have been a major problem with Oshiomole, it hasn’t stopped
Edo University, the projects in his village and senatorial district to
stopped the building of his own personal empire, right there in Iyambo,
decorated with ornate gates, tared roads, artificial hills and ponds.
We have to be wise, we know how he takes projects to Lagos to satisfy
Tinubu, we know how furniture contract was given to someone in Lagos,
while we pride ourselves to be the best furniture makers in the country,
while we have furniture companies lining Akpakpava road through Dawson
road to Oluku!
We know how Hitech, Tinubu’s construction company built substandard
roads in Benin that have led to flooding and erosion recently, we know
how our common wealth have been diverted to Cape Verde, while we only
got an elaborate wedding in return.
More importantly is the issue of qualification, with sentiment, we
allowed a man without the requisite qualifications to take the helms of
affairs in Edo state and look where we are today! It is needless to go
into the primary school issue, a result that was issued by a school that
was founded four years later.
We have to be wise to know that NLC is a division for lower level
workers and artisans in the trade, they are not really endued with any
knowledge to lead, instead they employ bellicosity in their aim to get
what they want, a governor who has a background in this regard is least
qualified to produce a successor, this will be the last nail in the
coffin this administration has plunged the state.
Considering what is happening with Buhari and his rudderless government
in the center, know that APC is mere propaganda. Oshiomole could not
help the state, Buhari is yet to come to terms with the Nigeria, birds
of the same plumage, lacking required qualifications, they are still
groping in the dark, while the economy of Edo state and Nigeria plummet
into a devilish abyss that will require a well thought out economic and
social blue print to achieve.
Vote to make Edo state safe again, Pastor Ize-Iyamu has the blueprint,
he bent to your wishes over seven years ago to help Oshiomole get to
that position, now is the time to listen to him! This have been seven
years of famine, only the Pharaoh and his men grew fat. Lets usher in
the seven years of fatness again. Years of wisdom, make Edo proud again,
in sports, Bendel insurance, Bendel United, in state icons, Edo line,
in infrastructure, water board, schools organised markets, sanitation
etc.
I vouch for Ize-Iyamu, you can take his words to the bank.”
