’There will be power shift in Edo’
THE dilemma of Charles Idahosa is understandable – this is even more so after reading his interview in The Nation Newspaper on Wednesday, 6th of May, 2020 with the headline, “Idahosa: there will be no power shift in Edo”.
The words of a drunken man are of no value. But for the sake of posterity, his recent attack on myself and my brother, Chief Taiwo Akerele and by extension the people of Akoko-Edo must be addressed and set straight.
Bringing development to a people goes beyond offering appointments to two persons from there and if Charles Idahosa would take a break from alcohol and bother to examine even recent history, he would notice that the people of Akoko Edo have historically taken their destiny into their hands, relying on the hard work and creativity of their sons and daughters to power their communities through legitimate endeavors and private contributions.
In the same interview, Charles Idahosa claimed that Akerele is a political lightweight with little or no consequence. Yet the man he slaves for with grey hair has ordered a near military invasion of Akerele’s home and ordered a desperate manhunt for him. No one can begrudge an old man who wasted his youthful years for taking advantage of a governor desperate for support to make a few millions.
