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;<br \/>\n&#8220;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 &#8211; they will take it.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe 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.<br \/>\nFour Years ago, they sold a narrative to the people that one Godwin Obaseki was the best that have ever happened to the state &#8211; 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&#8230;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.<br \/>\nIn less than half a decade, the same Oshiomole came back to tell the same surviving electorates that Obaseki is no good because he didn&#8217;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 &#8216;discrepancies in the certificates he presented.&#8217; And that probably would be the last of Governor Obaseki in the party full of damn breeds, scalawags, scumbags and anarchists.<br \/>\nThere 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.<br \/>\nThe 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?<br \/>\nOnly the people can answer this question with their voting cards come September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Opinion) Edo: The meeting with the new godfathers &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; By Ugo Egbujo At a meeting with godfathers of PDP, Obaseki looked pitiable.
