Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki has vowed to continue resisting all attempts to forcefully take-over the Edo state house of Assembly.
He added that he will do everything within his constitutional powers to protect the house and the state.
“For us as the executive, we will use the instrument available to us constitutionally to protect the house and the state.”
“Nigeria is governed by the constitution and President Muhammadu Buhari has always said we must follow the rules of law and do things according to the law,” he added.
The governor’s comments are coming shortly after 14 house of assembly members loyal to the All Progressives Congress, APC, were sworn-in at a secret location after the state house of assembly complex was shut down by the state government for ‘renovations’.
Out of 24 members of the assembly, 17 are supporting the All Progressives Congress candidate, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, in the upcoming Edo State election.
Where is the rule of law here,it is unfortunate that somebody like Osheolee will be hitingup polity this way.Hate speech attracts a fine of 5million.please,Mr.president such an act will attract what?Hope it won’t be a praise speach.
Oshiomole is not human,let him always remember that he is nobody in the Apc
APC is here to decieve Nigerians.
In banana republic any thing goes.The issue of pre-election ,elections and post election crises in Nigeria is always a sad moment ,I usually reason within that we do not have a country. The available one is sees as an opportunity to enrich some opportunist who usually parades themselves as leaders .Just one person and his interest holds the whole state in chaos. Its unfortunate Nigeria is out of course.
Nigeria is really govern by constitution and the law. Oshomhole has lost grip of power, as a drawn man he catches what he sees hoping to be freed but it seems too late, he can’t be APC Chairman again. He should stop taken tramadol and other intoxicating drugs to get himself free.
Obaseki has bite the finger that feed him so no going back what goes around must surely come around, the same way they make him the governor the way his going to be remove from that office and put another person their so no complain he should bear whatever consequences that come his way as long as Nigeria politics is concern.
I wonder, i just hope that Edo people shall be bold to carry their destiny and let this short man who want to be a godfather by all means to stay clear.
