EDO GUBER: Aisha Yesuf List Obaseki's Sins, Ask Him To Stop Complaining

Socio-political activist Aisha Yesufu has harshly criticized Governor Godwin Obaseki for expressing dissatisfaction with the results of the Edo State governorship election, in which Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) emerged victorious.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced on Sunday that Okpebholo won the election held on September 21, 2024, securing victory in 11 local government areas.

In contrast, Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won 7 local government areas, while Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party (LP) did not win any.

According to INEC’s Returning Officer, Prof. Faruk Adamu Kuta, Okpebholo received a total of 291,667 votes, defeating Ighodalo, who garnered 247,274 votes, and Akpata, who managed only 18,737 votes.

In a dramatic turn of events early Sunday morning, Governor Obaseki entered INEC’s collation center around 2 a.m., claiming his visit was to gather firsthand information about the results. However, he was escorted out of the premises by a combined team of policemen led by Deputy Inspector General Frank Mbah at around 4:10 a.m.

Yesufu, in her reaction, questioned Obaseki’s grievances regarding the election outcome, urging him to accept the democratic process.

She wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “I am looking for a video where Obaseki was speaking about the principles of democracy. Please share if you have it.

“Obaseki, who refused for 4 years to swear in 14 Edo House of Assembly members.

“Obaseki, who refused to swear in judges—he swore in 5 out of 8.

“Obaseki, who got his deputy governor impeached, is now talking about democracy under attack.”

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
