PLOT TO DEFEAT OBASEKI AT THE PRIMARY THICKENS


Barring any other unforeseen circumstances, the stage is set for the defeat of Mr Godwin Obaseki at the forthcoming APC governorship primary to decide who picks the ticket for the election. The plot to prevent him from securing his second term in office has been concluded.  Our reporters gathered from credible sources that even the results for the primary election has been determined.  A popular double chief from Uromi, in Edo South with close links to Oshiomole has been assigned the role to deliver a wealthy oil magnate of Benin extraction.  He  has been anointed to carry the party’s flag for the 2020 election by the Abuja politicians and the remnants of the renegade House of Assembly members presently ensconced  at Zeus hotel, Mabuchi, Abuja, also owned by a retired army pay master and former guber candidate also of Benin extraction.  Our reporters gathered that a popular thug whose name sounds like ‘’kabaka’’ has been detailed to spearhead the rout of Obaseki during the primary.  Infact Obaseki is to be scored ‘’O’’ in Edo South and Edo North Federal constituencies respectively, disclosed our source who prefer anonymity.
In recent days, the All Progressive Congress (APC ) National Chairman Adams Oshiomole has become emboldened voicing out his anger openly against Obaseki; only last week he stressed that some people he referred to as “agents of destabilisation” are out to rubbish his achievements during his tenure as governor of Edo State. The 30 billion naira Storm Water project was mentioned.  The central hospital Benin had been previously cited.  These are pointers to the raging war between the ‘’godfather’’ and ‘’godson’’, whatever this means. Mr Obaseki is however not resting on his oars. Sleeping with one eye open, the governor has gone about making sweeping changes disbanding his cabinet and reconstituting them in his favour including dismissing 250 Senior Special Assistants and Special Advisers. This is seen as measure to consolidate his hold on power.

Kuje, a suburb in the capital city of Abuja is witnessing an unusual traffic: hundreds of worshippers are seen trooping to stadium road in Kuje where Bishop David Edobor, General Overseer of the Joshua Generation Church is blazing the trail, performing spiritual feats, healing, delivering and restoring damaged destinies. The young General Overseer popularly known as “mathematical prophetic” “accuracy bazooka” has declared repeatedly: ‘you can doubt my prophesies, but you cannot doubt the outcome!” Preaching last Sunday, 16 th September, the cleric disclosed that the examination of life has no timetable unlike that of common exams.

The Independent Corrupt Practice and Other Related Matters Offences Commission (ICPC) were set as an anti-corruption agency to rein in persons involved in suspected shady deals and sharp practices. But in recent times as investigations have revealed The commission appears to have derailed as it is fast losing that tag as an anti-corruption agency.  Preliminary investigations have unearthed some sharp practices of illegal detentions on spurious charges, unauthorized raid and sealing of victims houses and unwarranted blockages of victim’s accounts. “This bad practice must be discontinued” declared Mr Rafiu Ibrahim, Secretary-General of Association for Good Governance and Transparency (AFGT). Throwing more light on the sad development, the Secretary-General wondered why the ICPC would detain without charges any suspected Nigerian for upwards of two weeks without proceeding to court, while systematically extorting various sums of money from the detained Nigerian.  The Secretary-Ge...
