OpEd: Oshiomhole, OfficialAPCNg And 'Murder' Of Democracy By Dyepkazah Shibayan | Sahara Reporters Acrimony should not guide our politics at this stage of our 'democracy' as it is normal to have disagreements. READ MORE:
Acrimony should not guide our politics at this stage of our"democracy" as it is normal to have disagreements.The disqualification of Godwin Obaseki, governor of Edo State, from participating in the governorship primary poll of the All Progressives Congress fixed for June 22 did not come as a shock to me and I'm sure to many others.
This same Oshiomhole boasted of defeating"godfathers" to emerge governor of Edo. So, what has changed? Why tow a line you once considered a wrong order? Who helped him govern the state during his time as governor? But this is not where I have a problem. Hear Ayuba:"We are staking our integrity, the integrity of the process in this country in order to arrive with what we have done."
In disqualifying him, the Ayuba panel cited a"defective higher school certificate" and explained that the defect could have been from the institution but that Obaseki did not make any move to correct him which is a ground the governor was disqualified. I'm stupefied. They also wondered how Oshiomhole could issue a"waiver" to Osagie Ize-Iyamu, a pastor, to enable him be in the race for the ticket.
