  FRUSTRATION: OSHIOMOLE RUNS TO PRESIDENT BUHARI FOR SUPPORT AND BACKING My duty is to ensure  free and fair election in Edo State —  Buhari Information reaching us today that Oshiomole met with President Buhari seeking his support and backing in the forth coming Edo Governorship election.  The background of this August visit to the Presidency is as a result of the rejection that he and his team are getting from the people of Edo state, who clearly are not in support of the projected candidate of the APC . This is so because the Edos are not interested in him or the candidate he is projecting to the Edo people.  More so, it is evident that about 15 APC Governors and most of the National leaders of the APC are not interested in the Edo election.  Flowing from the aforementioned, Oshiomole in his bid and desperation to return to power for his subliminal third term ran to the president, so that the president will release the federal forces for him to use to c...

   OZA YOUTHS REJECTS, BOOED HON PATRICK AISOWIEREN AT AN ENLARGED YOUTHS MEETING YESTERDAY* By: Sir Gabriel Otioma, Avid Mind. A man that has been rejected by his own clan or people has twice defeated in the race of life. There is no doubt that home is the strong hold of every politician, but a politician that has lost love and respect from his own people should not expect to get it from the external forces. However, those who are excellently good in keeping records or regular followers of my political arguments on social media would attest to my different articles against Patrick Aisowieren, a house of Reps member representing Orhionmwon/Uhunmwonde Federal constituency at the National Assembly. I have argued severally that in a true democratic practice, people like Patrick Aisowieren would never have the opportunity to be elected as a councillor of a political ward not to mention sitting at the green chamber of National Assembly to represent two local governments. Yeste...

One of the members of the SUG who preferred to remain anonymous said “it is true that we were approached two days ago and a request was made to us by a certain man who disguised as a pastor. The request was for him to use our MACE for a drama presentation at his church in Auchi. We obliged him since we believed it will be for a harmless purpose. We were shocked to see our mace on social media and again on TVs across the stat...
