We hereby call Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to concentrate on his epileptic Presidential ambition and let Edo people decide their political destiny. Your style of politics in the south west with its attendant sign post of dictatorship is unattractive to Edo people. We are aware that Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu has already been given a list of non indigenes to specific portfolios in case of an APC emergence in the September election. This is your modus operandi! Thank God this will never happen as a result of the resolve of Edo people to vote and re-elect Gov. Godwin Obaseki to continue his good work. Edo people are saying it loud that EDO IS NOT LAGOS! The Midwestern region was created as far back as 1963. To dream of using Adams Oshiomole and Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu to reverse the political cloak of the state will be resisted by well meaning Edo people. As a former Governor, you should know better that the Governor after proclamation of the house will let the House conduct its business...

What began as a minor misunderstanding between the two men was mismanaged on both sides. The gulf of distrust became so wide that it was impossible to reach across the divide for a friendly handshake. Powerful individuals and interest groups had weighed in on the war between the political godfather, Oshiomhole and his estranged godson, ...

On the evacuation place back to the US, it is hard for me to believe after 35 years the reason I returned to Nigeria was a fraud, a total fraud. I returned based on the belief that Nigeria was destined for a greater future with Buhari, that corruption will be addressed head on, that nepotism will be fought and eradicated, that militancy will wane and disappear under this military general, a colossal disappointment. I returned to the clarion call for us to rebuild Nigeria to once again be the Giant of Africa. I packed up my family and all that I owned in property, financial and otherwise to bear upon my commitment to support this leader. I came home gleefully to support my nation, only to discovered that, I, like many others before me have been duped. There was no leader or leadership, it was an army of bandits without guns parading as leaders with a quest to rape the country I call my motherland. I had been sold a bridge in New York by crooks in Nigeria. Today, I can attest...
