Edo: Two opinions from the social media

(Opinion) Edo: The meeting with the new godfathers

 
 
 
 
 
By Ugo Egbujo
At a meeting with godfathers of PDP, Obaseki looked pitiable.
He was sweating from everywhere
He had promised an arm and a leg but they wanted his blokkos (bollocks).
The PDP godfathers want a leash tied to his scrotum
Atiku, a PDP god-grandfather, has been conjuring and pouring libations, to soften the ground.
So what is the problem?
The godfathers of the PDP are master opportunists.
They want part of his today and part of his tomorrow.
They want him to know they cannot be Oshiomholed.
Obaseki is sweating because he had thought that a concluded discussion should be finalized with nods.
But he misread the PDP and their seasoned godfathers.
These ones do not pretend to righteousness.
The PDP waited for him to become an internally displaced politician before showing him the fine prints.
Obaseki is sweating.
A baby that has lived all his life on the back of his mother won’t know that walking is not like drinking milk.
These PDP people. He will pay for his form. He will pay for the forms of all the aspirants and pay all the bills they have incurred so far.
Then he will pay for party support in all the local govts. Then he will see all party elders in Edo. Then he will see party elders in Abuja.
Then he will drop his deputy governor. Then he will give them commissioner and board positions.
Even ndi Mbaise’s long wedding list isn’t this Kilimanjarous
Please pray for Obaseki.
(Opinion) Edo 2020: APC Anarchists.

By Elempe Dele, Senior Editor, Grassroot Hot News.
Edo State APC is planting reasonable doubt for the need of their continues existence in the state in the minds of the electorates. In as much as they are jubilating over the removal of one of their branded stoics, their case for continuity in the state is not strong enough, rather, it leaves a bad taste in the sensibilities of the people as it seems the party all the time takes the people for granted and for rides. It is a deliberate act;
“drive the willing people to delirium, reach a vedict and come out to tell them, they will take it. Do they really have a choice? The people who have been used and trampled on – they will take it.”
The Edo people have been living under these anarchists for over a decade, misruling them without reflections or being sober. They sway the people like whirlwind to wherever they want them to go.
Four Years ago, they sold a narrative to the people that one Godwin Obaseki was the best that have ever happened to the state – a 21st century technocrat. The sophists, Adams Oshiomole was the then ringleader of the orchestra concerting the narrative wherever he went campaigning. He never once forgot in those campaigns to demonize the other which people call Pastor Ize-Iyamu with the harshest of words in print. He defamed his character, maligned his person, assassinated his personality, called him names ranging from fake pastor, untrustworthy fellow…these were devastatingly unbelievable coming from Oshiomole who was supported by this same Pastor to get power eight years earlier. So based on the information supplied, the electorates voted for Obaseki against Pastor Ize-Iyamu in a controversial contest after the electorates convicted him in a court of public opinion.
In less than half a decade, the same Oshiomole came back to tell the same surviving electorates that Obaseki is no good because he didn’t fuel some fantasies or he was selfish. Either way, for over a year, Oshiomole has used all in his arsenal to charge at Governor Obaseki until (last) week where he waylaid him with sophisticated explosives inflicting a blunt force trauma on his political head at the APC screening excercise where he was screened out for what the authors called ‘discrepancies in the certificates he presented.’ And that probably would be the last of Governor Obaseki in the party full of damn breeds, scalawags, scumbags and anarchists.
There are bad politicians out there, most are in APC today. This fact is beyond doubt. There are going to be potentially thousands of victims with this recent development in my assumption. Some will go into political oblivion, some will be probed, some will be prosecuted and others will take to their heels.
The Edo State electorates, which are part of the people, must start a convocation of asking questions from APC, the people must start addressing lingering questions from these minstrels of chaos. Do they really need APC again or an interventionist?
Only the people can answer this question with their voting cards come September.
