It is imperative to this author that this piece is viewed accurately as an attempt to provide insights into his perception of Captain Hosa Okunbo’s character and personality, rather than a self- serving agenda. Besides, it must be recognized that the author is neither his mouthpiece nor a hired gun on an image laundering mission on his behalf.
With real and imagined supporters of the respective key actors being singled out for character attacks and abuse, Capt. Hosa has come out as the biggest casualty and collateral damage amongst the “non-key political actors” in the mudslinging that presently characterizes Edo state polity.
This is so because the allegations on which the attacks are based are not only spurious , they are also as slanderous as they are malicious. The social media space, given its huge potential for publicity mileage, has not helped matters. Uninformed “internet warriors” have become willing tools and agents in the hands of political actors, intent on damaging the hard-earned image and reputation of others.
So, any action that impugns the person and reputation of Capt. Hosa is an attempt to insult the wisdom of the highly revered late Monarch and the entire Bini kingdom by association. Likewise, the recognition by the US Congress is confirmation that Captain Hosa is not overtly or covertly associated in any form of criminality, be it presently or in the past.
