EDO STATE GUBER RACE: OSHIOMOLE DRAWS BATTLELINE


This is authoritative, Comrade Adams Oshiomole has finally drawn the curtains between him and Governor Godwin Obaseki.  All pretense to the renewal of fresh pact between him and the embattled Governor was finally laid to rest when the APC National Chairman stormed Benin-City with the full complement of the national committee members to receive Pastor Osaze Ize Iyamu who decamped to APC with all his members.  Oshiomole arrived Benin without informing the incumbent Governor, regardless of the fact that the rally had been cancelled by the Inspector General of Police.  But this action did not however go down well with Youths in Benin who subsequently blocked the routes Oshiomole was expected to take.  The road leading to his residence was also allegedly blocked and the ceremony had to shift to Pastor Ize Iyamu’s house where Oshiomole belatedly addressed the crowd.

Reports say Youths all over Benin are angry over Oshiomole’s determination to unseat Obaseki.  They have vowed to resist his efforts and pave the way for Mr. Obaseki to returnfor second term. Though in an ominous declaration, Oshiomole,  was said to have disclosed openly: “I don’t lose elections and he, Obaseki and Phillip Shaubu knows it”.

Meanwhile, sources say Oshiomole is likely heading for disappointment as Pastor Osaze Iyamu is said to have hidden agenda.  The source say the former PDP candidate was only out to milk Oshiomole dry and at the end ditch him for Obaseki.  “Osaze is not a serious man; we know him; he is only out for a pound of flesh; how can he pally with the same man that disgraced him thoroughly in the last elections?  Asked the source.

WORSHIPPERS THRONG TO KUJE FOR BISHOP DAVID EDOBOR (ANGEL 1)

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...
