The Speaker, Frank Okiye and the
Deputy Speaker of the State Assembly were also impeached on the same day.
This
has led to camps of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, and All Progressives
Congress, APC, throwing jabs, accusations and counter accusations at each other.
Just last night, Bola Tinubu, the National Leader of the All Progressives
Congress APC, said Governor Godwin Obaseki will be voted out come September 19
because of his “woeful leadership” According to the National leader, Obaseki who
promised to be the Governor of all the people of the State has denied 2/3 of the
people of his state their right to representation in the state’s only
legislative chamber.
Also, Governor Umar Ganduje described Obaseki as a woeful
failure and a liability to his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. Obaseki
had fired back at Ganduje saying he was in no position to assess his performance
because he has “baggage of the viral video of him stuffing dollars collected
from contractors”.
But Shehu Sani, reacting to the rivalry between both parties
said Edo State has become Syria with Wike acting as Putin and Buhari as Trump.
His tweet read: “Edo has become Syria;Obaseki is Assad, Wike is Putin, Baba is
Trump, Jagaban is Nathanyahu with Saudi, Turkey, Iran and Terror groups all in
there.“ Daily Post reports
Edo has become Syria;Obaseki is Assad,Wike is Putin,Baba is Trump,Jagaban is Nathanyahu....with Saudi,Turkey,Iran and Terror groups all in there.
