Averting violence in Edo poll
writes on the factors that will guarantee a hitch-free governorship election in Edo State on September 19.
When he has continued to blame his former godfather, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, of overbearing demands, it was ordinarily expected that Governor Godwin Obaseki and Philip Shaibu, his deputy, would have dropped their toga of violence and toed the path of non-violent or peaceful campaigns like Dr. Jonathan, who though a rare patriot, lost the 2015 elections to President Muhammadu Buhari.
United States President Donald Trump has been facing stiff opposition from various sides, both local and international. He is now about the most criticized American President. Recent events have shown that Obaseki is not only running his government based on lies, he is also hounding opponents who refuse to support his government and reelection bid. Obaseki and his deputy have been making several attempts to intimidate supporters of Pastor Ize-Iyamu and other respected APC supporters, including Captain Hosa Okunbor.
Obaseki and his loyalists allegedly destroyed their own bill-boards at different locations in the state as a gimmick to deflect responsibility and get a reprieve for the alleged organised destruction of APC billboards after the party filed a petition with the police and other relevant agencies. For a governor that prides himself as a gentleman, it would be better if he has responded to the issues rather than attacking opposition members. If this can happen now, what should we expect when Obaseki is allowed to occupy the leadership position of the state in September?The new twist
