In the process, he forgot that these powers belong to the people, the sovereignty belongs to the people. They delegate you, they entrust you, believing that you will do good to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd even the royal father, he was fighting him. He fought everybody, whether you looked for his trouble, didn\u2019t look for his trouble, for Obaseki, crushing people was [for] himself a way of life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, we are very happy now that we have consigned him to the dustbin of political history. As a person, he is my friend, but as governor, he was a failure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow what are the facts? Obaseki is like the proverbial blind man who in 2016, he rode on my back as an outgoing governor, we crossed the river, and he didn\u2019t allow his leg to touch the water, and so, he didn\u2019t understand what it took to become a governor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2020, again, there were internal crisis in the APC, Obaseki again had the backing of some elements within the APC, and of course, the very Wike that he\u2019s demonising now, Governor Wike, as he then was, left Port-Harcourt to Benin, and the REC they were protesting against, that same REC was in Benin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgain, Obaseki rode on the back of Wike and elements and what became known as PDP Legacy Group, together with some of the elements in APC. They took him to cross the river for the second time without his leg touching water. And so, twice, he was being described as the iron man.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so this time around, he has burned all the cables, he has divided the PDP into two, the legacy PDP left him, Wike left him, I left him, his deputy left him, and so he was now a lonely man. And now, he had to cross the river using his own strength.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-7\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<div data-advadstrackid=\"941128\" data-advadstrackbid=\"1\" class=\"infor-target\" id=\"infor-995632740\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/FirstBank-Giant-Strides300x250.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator Adams Oshiomhole, has described the Governor Godwin Obaseki\u2019s led government as a failure in Edo state.
