Dossiers of the activity of the "Man Comrade Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole" in recent political crisis, within, as well as extended to other political parties, are clear proof of a "dictator commando" born in a remote village, Iyamho, Etsako West, Edo State.
In recent times, his name has been mentioned more often than the lightning speed across various medium of information houses not for the good, but for claims of "Godfatherism" and "Emperorism".
His act of dominance, started when he became a powerful tool of agitations while he was still the leader of the Nigeria Labour Congress.
He dared the government of the day and would soon be recognized for his fearless approaches.
He was perceived very good to his imperial subjects, but woe to anyone, who opposed his decision.
In a flip side, he was nominated by some political trojan who had enclaved and dominated the political space in Edo State considering his background as a labour gaffer.
He played the "loyal boy role" during his electioneering process because, he had no significant resources to withstand those who was in the realm of power.
With the conviction of his agility and chameleon style of loyalty, millions of Naira was gathered to ensure his victory.
The man he is supposedly planning to oust in office today was said to be key actor in fund raising where he allegedly attracted supper donors to change the scheme.
From the grave vine, it was gathered that Chief Oseni Elama who was a close associate to the incumbent governor brought both Oshiomhole and Obaseki together.
So for sure, one good turn deserves another. Perhaps for Obaseki's role in Oshiomhole's fund raising,he made it mandatory for him(Obaseki) to be the next governor.
Arguably, it is perhaps one of the reasons he fought out to ensure Obaseki's victory.
Sooner, he was elected as the state Governor through the tribunal judgment against the then ruling party.
For his first four years, he fought and turned around in a master piece performance to pull down Godfatherism in the state.
This resilience he exhibited, endeared him to the people as one of the unknown Messiah to liberate the people from political cabals.
The elites, the young and the aged celebrated his styles and would soon christened him "Oshioquake''.
He tormented Some political bighorns who effortlessly stood by him to ensure the Voodoo's of the political warlord from Urhomi was brought to disrepute. May his soul rest in peace though!
At every opportunity to man the podium, he takes a dig of dishonor at them. He claimed the era of Godfatherism was never going to see the light again.
He brainwashed the majority with his synopsis of craftiness and most became so cowed that they hardly see any thing he does wrong before them.
He challenges constitutional orders and ensure beneficiaries of such are deprived.
When it was time to live Dennis Osadebe Avenue, the seat of power to the Edo State government, he churlishly had a different motive on who his successor will be, even though his deputy, Pius Odubu and others mauls continuing the realm.
Over five aspirants contested the primary election and wanted to be his successor.
But trust the emperor, he used all instruments of power to frustrate other alternatives.
Recall that Amidst the period of turmoil in the history of the Roman Empire, came the era of the Five Good Emperors.
Instead of selection by dynastic succession, these five rulers were chosen and trained by their predecessors to ensure smooth, peaceful transitions of power.
Among the five, Emperor Trajan (reigned 98–117 AD) acquired the title Optimus, or “best.”
For me, Obaseki is the only positive Trajan who not only have expanded the borders of governance to their greatest extent, but also governed with singular benevolence and generosity toward his subjects by using task payers resources to fund them.
Democrats considered him among the most capable men to have led the empire. His administrative accomplishments is a perceived victory over Emperors.
By this, the author do not suggest that there are no floors in his about to wind down first tenure, but however, those who must criticise should do constructively not to cause greedy distractions.
This my have led to absolute believe by Hon Charles Idahosa on his performances
HON CHARLES IDAHOSA's STANDS
Hon Charles Idahosa over time have been very active and concerned about the division across the party's leadership as well as the role of the national chairman of the All Progressive Congress, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole in addressing core issues of party line.
Evidence of his concerns, is that he has taken bold steps to unravel the under tune behind hostilities of the wanton crusaders of anti Obaseki government.
Amidst these upheavals, storms, Whims and caprices, the emperor has deliberately refused to speak up to address salient issues raised by a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, Hon. Charles Idahosa.
Hon Idahosa in a recent development, wondered why the national chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has refused to address the protracted issues head-on which he described as playing the godfather in the politics of Edo State.
According to Idahosa “Oshiomhole must have been joking when he denied his godfather’s role in Edo State politics.
“Oshiomhole brought Governor Godwin Obaseki to us and told us that he was the engine of his administration and today, governor Obaseki has lived up to our expectations and he has actually exceeded the expectations of millions of Edo people.
Idahosa who is peeved over the continuous crassly handling of conflicts by the National leadership of the party, curiously asked why the so much interest exhibited by him on the leadership of the state house of Assembly.
He said, "What's Oshiomhole's interest in the state house of Assembly? Why does he wants to produce a speaker? Why has he not been able to live Obaseki alone? Oshiomhole chose the deputy governor, Rt. Hon. Comrade Philip Shaibu, he imposed all the commissioners on governor Obaseki and chose the Secretary to the State Government, Osarodion Ogie Esq.
If an idea does not come from Oshiomhole it is rubbish. So what is Oshiomhole denying?”
What more proof does the former governor need to accept that he is playing the role of a godfather in Edo State?”
Oshiomhole wants to turn himself into a small emperor here and we will not accept that.
Idahosa further maintained that, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun was very correct when he claimed Oshiomhole was playing the godfather.
“Chief Oyegun is a very decent man and does not just talk because he wants to be heard. He is not a flippant person; he says things as they are.
The former political adviser to Comrade Oshiomhole in a vanguard publication further said: “Currently we have an Oshiomhole in Edo State Oil and Gas Producing Area Development Commission (EDSOGPADEC), another Oshiomhole in Edo State House of Assembly, not to talk off his own mother’s brother’s children.
He claims he knows everything. Enough is enough of his high handedness.” Idahosa added: “Oshiomhole chose the local government chairmen in the 18 local councils of the state as well as most of the members of the state house of assembly.
The current crisis in the state assembly happened because he seems to be losing his hold on the politics of the state. He is guilty of what he accused former governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, of doing.”
Recall that the APC National Chairman, had denied playing the godfather in Edo Politics after Chief John Odigie-Oyegun accused him of being the architect of all the crises leading to the tension in Edo State APC.
Oyegun who spoke through his spokesman, Ray Murphy, said: “Today there are all kinds of rancour coming from Edo State.
They all boil down to attempts by a godfather and godfatherism that is heating up the polity in Edo State.
Obaseki is the executive governor of Edo State and he should be allowed to exercise the powers vested in him by the law. “To what purpose is this idea of APC Chairman putting the state under tension?
As a governor on APC platform, he should be allowed to run out his tenure before they decide whether to bring him back or not.
There are so much antics going on and you do not need to be a prophet or a Babalawo to trace where they are coming from.
They are coming from APC. I want to think that they are all targeted at weakening the governor of Edo State.”
But Oshiomhole responded: “Edo people know me and I know them. I don’t need short-cut to sustain my position in the system.
But you know that there is nobody in Nigeria who is not open to accusations. The important thing is that he who accuses should give you proof.
The denial seems not enough to be convinced, he is not the heat behind the lightning tundra.
Hon Charles Idahosa's demands is worth no abuses from any quarter to heat up the polity, but a simple way of telling a man to braze up to his repositories and address issues.
He should have some tundra hills preserved for posterity, rather than chase white goose for continuous Godfatherism he kicked against while in power.
