If you’ve been wondering why Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole is fondly called “Oshioquake,” just tune in to the latest wave of media buzz. This week, the former governor of Edo State has once again become the center of attention after his electrifying interviews with Channels TV and Arise TV. His words have reverberated across the nation, shaking the very core of political discourse….READ FULL ARTICLE
Oshiomhole’s recent interviews were nothing short of seismic. He exposed the glaring flaws in the PDP’s gubernatorial candidate, Asue Ighodalo, and his unsuitability for the Edo State governorship. But the real bombshell came when Oshiomhole laid bare how Governor Obaseki has mishandled the APC-led federal government’s palliatives. He revealed that out of 22 trucks of aid and over 10 billion Naira received, there’s been no significant impact or improvement, despite Obaseki’s constant blame-shifting towards President Tinubu. Instead of addressing the hardship faced by Edo people, Obaseki has been rebagging federal aid and using it for party purposes, all while pocketing substantial monthly budget allocations.
So, the PDP has been obsessing over Oshiomhole’s interview, “running kiti kiti, dey run kata kata, no fit drink water drop cup…” They’ve unleashed their army of online attackers against the former governor of Edo State. They’ve twisted and doctored his statements, even fabricating a narrative about witches and wizards in Ewohimi, where Oshiomhole is a respected son-in-law and the community takes great pride in him.
But there’s a reason why they call Oshiomhole “Oshioquake.” To quote Rema, “E get why dem dey call us Benin boys (confirm)… We no dey make too much noise (clear road). Na we dey pull up with convoy (eh?). If you touch Oshiomhole, YOU TOUCH THE FULL NATION.”
Nigerians have rallied in support of Oshiomhole, mocking the PDP’s candidate and their tactics. Here are some notable voices who have come out swinging in defense of Oshiomhole and against Ighodalo and Obaseki:
Olutola Alabi
: A prominent commentator and political analyst, Alabi expressed disbelief at the PDP’s attempts to undermine Oshiomhole. He praised Oshiomhole’s honesty and criticized Ighodalo’s lack of vision for Edo State, stating that the PDP’s candidate has already been disqualified from serious consideration.
Yusuf Suleiman
: A well-known public figure, Suleiman slammed Obaseki for his mishandling of federal resources. He emphasized that Obaseki’s failure to address the state’s issues and his misuse of aid meant for the poor demonstrate a gross disregard for the welfare of Edo people.
Nneka Eze
: An activist and vocal critic of the current administration, Eze highlighted the absurdity of the PDP’s attempts to deflect from the real issues. She lauded Oshiomhole for his bravery in speaking out and criticized the PDP’s candidates for their lack of transparency and accountability.
The support for Oshiomhole reflects a broader national sentiment. The public is not only rejecting the PDP’s tactics but is also rallying behind leaders who stand for truth and accountability. In this battle of political storms, Adams Oshiomhole remains a formidable force—an “Oshioquake” indeed.
