The 2020 Edo State Governorship election has come and gone but some of its talking points still reverberate.
These elements had earlier in the year tried to use Edo and the legal entanglements in which they placed Oshiomhole as a way to weaken, if not destroy Asiwaju’s influence in the APC. Their attempt not only failed, but it also backfired. Spontaneous and independent shows of support for Asiwaju were seen across the nation. It was confirmed. Tinubu enjoyed more grassroots support than these foes who dared not emerge from the shadows to confront him directly.
It is against this background, the involvement of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in the election must be weighed. In a video that went viral, the National Leader of APC admonished Edo voters not to renew Obaseki’s mandate as Governor because of his anti-democratic action of inaugurating only nine members out of 24 members of the Edo State House of Assembly following their election during the 2019 general elections.
Supporters of Governor Obaseki and the PDP have put a spin on Asiwaju Tinubu’s action calling it interference in the affairs of Edo State. To them, Tinubu ought to restrict his political interventions to Lagos. Yet they do not apply the same measure to themselves.
It's obvious some clueless commentators are still getting part of the 'bullion loot'. A waste of reading time. Trash
Tinubu is still making the mistake of unleashing faceless commentators to circumlocute on his behalf. This writer succeeded in making more enemies for Tinubu. Anyway, Tinubu will never be President - His children may be.
