In 2016 , when he was yet a mere co-opted member of Edo State Executive Council as Chairman of the Economic and Strategy Team, and was propel by the then Governor Adams Oshiomhole to run as Governor, he (GO ) was never seen kneeling or lying down anywhere in Edo State to beg for votes.
Fast forward, he is Governor with full constitutional protection of Section 308 guaranteed immunity in 2020 , he goes to the palace of the Oba of Benin without bead even when his handlers manages to put on him Benin Traditional dress until he was cautioned to do so.
In desperation and amidst confusion, he goes to the well-respected Oba of Lagos with his team of desperados allies, some of which stayed under the mango tree at the last NEC meeting of the APC, groveling, prostrating, lying and kneeling down begging the Royal father to help him out in the quagmire he puts himself.
Yet, he says Edo is not Lagos!
How else can one describe a HYPOCRITE?
His case is like that of a man who has Doctors capable of curing his ailments but chose to go outside to seek assistance?
He claims the politicians who worked for him to become Governor as useless, thieves and greedy. He claims the man who bore the pains , agony, and received the bullets for his ascendancy to power in Edo has been a “bad influence” and as such ” as far as he is concerned Comrade Adams Oshiomhole is suspended and remains suspended ”
Which man in his right senses pursues the person holding his pot of destiny?
In 2016, with same Adams Oshiomhole backing him he didn’t have to run from pillar to post. Now with a monthly #500m Security Vote in a state that Kidnapping and criminality has continued to fester he is doing Town hall meetings in Lagos, London and everywhere amidst protests to his failed government.
Does anyone needs a lesson on how not to govern a people? Understudy Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State!
