Tempers are
beginning to rise in Edo State over the All Progressive Congress (APC) NATIONAL
Chairman Comrade Adams Oshiomole’s seeming over bearing attitude in grabbing
every available juicy political position for his “boys”. The recent being Dr.
Pious Odubu, his former deputy, whom Oshio-Baba has just “assisted” to clinch
the Chairmanship position of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). Earlier,
his “boys” Clement Agba and Louis Odion had been handed juicy political
appointments; the one a minister and the other a Special Assistant to the
President. The other is Oseni Elamai who is Chairman, Joint Tax Board. Many
more are said to be lined up which is now the source of tension in the Midwest
region. “Oshiomole has never ceased to amaze me”, said one Frank Idemudia a
political activists in Benin City. “He is so one sided and blinded by excessive
pride”, Mr Frank disclosed. “The way to be a leader is to look outside your
camp, and pick people who are also qualified but lack the power”, he added.
How the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan frittered away the nation’s scarce resources is beginning to spill out – despite the shrill insistence by ex-Finance Minister, Okonjo Iweala that the records sheet were clean! Information pieced together by our investigators show that several paramilitary Agencies under the Federal Ministry of Interior shared a record 10 billion each for the purpose of influencing the March 28 General Elections in favour of the defeated incumbent. However, things did not go down well with the ranks and file during the sharing. Outgoing Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Boss (name withheld) was said to have misappropriated the huge booty by allegedly pocketing 5 billion for himself, while declaring the other half (5 billion) as the sum total. The bone of contention was that while the rank and file received 40,000 each some key associates close to the big guns went home with a hefty slice. Causing the rumble.
