Obaseki’s Wrath Ignited: How Oshiomhole, Okpebholo, And Idahosa’s Airport Welcome Triggered The Governor’s VengeanceYesterday, the APC Gubernatorial candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo, along with his running mate Dennis Idahosa and Senator Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole, touched down in Benin City. They arrived ahead of their street-to-street campaign for the upcoming gubernatorial polls....READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE ▶▶
Upon their arrival, they were met with immense fanfare and jubilation by the airport staff and taxi operators within the facility. Whenever these guys land, it’s always a bit of a stampede—the organic love is so contagious.
Oshiomhole, the Baba himself, is a mover and shaker of men.Combine the grassroots appeal of Okpebholo with the iconic Mr. Project himself, Dennis Idahosa, and you’ve got a recipe for something truly extraordinary.
Well, reports reaching us indicate that the rousing reception for Oshiomhole, Okpebholo, and Idahosa didn’t sit well with State Governor Godwin Obaseki. Allegedly, he dispatched officials to caution the airport staff, and it’s feared they may have been reprimanded. This isn’t the first time Obaseki’s vindictiveness has come to light.
Obaseki’s actions have reached a fever pitch. He’s reputed to be so vengeful that he would kill a tiny ant with a sledgehammer and a double-barrel gun just to exact his pound of flesh from his intended victims.
Recall that after his reelection in the 2020 elections, Governor Godwin Obaseki was alleged to have fired all of his personal aides, from his chefs to his drivers. Even his once-powerful Personal Assistant , Tijani, was not spared. It was a complete overhaul of his personal staff.
At one point, there were allegations that he dismissed a driver simply because the driver had built a house. This kind of behaviour paints a picture of someone who seems to despise progress, especially when it comes from his own townspeople.
And now, Obaseki is once again alleged to have rammed the candidacy of his lackey, Asue Ighodalo, down the throats of civil servants and commercial drivers across the state.
My fellow Edo citizens, as the election approaches, it’s time for us to demand a fair and free choice. We must be tolerant of diverse opinions and support the right of every voter to select the candidate who best represents their vision for our future.
Let us stand firm against coercion and ensure that our voices are heard and respected at the ballot box. The power is in our hands to shape the future we deserve.
