I am Not Obaseki's Agent, Mole or Representative, I Disagree With His Style of Leadership - Akpata

I totally disagree with Governor Obaseki's style of leadership even though he's my relative and friend. There's no empathy or compassion in his style of governance. We are not on the same page hence my decision to run for governorship in the Labour Party to show Obaseki and the PDP as well as the APC where he was before that they have gotten governance all wrong.
Olumide Akpata, Edo State Labour Party Governorship Aspirant

Listeneing to Olumide talk gives one hope for the Nigerian enterprise. Governance isn't the rocket science that the current crop of leaders and their prececessors have sold to us. Government is so far removed from the people because there is a serious empathy deficit. Government in Nigeria is obviously not for the people.

Everyone wants to spend without talking about how to empower the economy to make the state functionally independent but what do i know? as every body dey talk say the man smart who i be to say otherwise? but governorship is more than thinking about basic infrastructure without looking at a long term solution to the economic problem that is making the state poor but again how can an intelligent man market only roads and hospitals, i say na big shame.

[@glbglb3127]

Don't be an Innuendo, if your crafty mind you believe esans are more than Edo people don't you ? Trust me, we gonna make it mandatory soon, that no more question or debate to even include any minority in the state when it comes to election, just the way some states are doing in Nigeria, you don't even discuss such in some states where the dominate tribes rules the state. you and I know deep down Edo people own state Edo and using Edo south resources to care for both central and north, yet you insatiable and ungrateful for the privilege given to you. Instead of clamoring for your state you want to govern a state where you are 15% percentage both in population and territorial land size. Do you know only Uhunmwonde LG IS bigger than the enter esan land? even include the Edo speaking area in esan land that are close to Edo south. I guess you don't know. So don't try and be crafty thinking you are smart, Edo's are good people they carry everyone along based on historical purpose knowing you people and every other Edo ID Clans originated from the kingdom and decide to say let a better and competent candidate be voted for irrespective of where you from in the state. If Edo people says no to other tribe to rule the state, can you tell me what will happen? Nothing and nothing anyone can do about it. you people better think wisely.

[@osakpamwanbenedict59]

U are correct that other tribes vote in Benin to make up the 59% but same with the central and North who has 15% and 25% respectively. At the end of the day all zones are a compendium of both indigenes and external voters.

How can people be so narrow-minded to the extent of zeroing development to road construction alone? Road construction doesn't falls into the primary scope of development of a society. Besides HE Gov Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki has constructed more number of roads and more kilometers of road than any governor that has ruled/led Edo state. I know some of you will be quick to make reference to Nyesom Wike of Rivers state, Wike constructed just 1000 km which was less than what Gov Okowa of Delta state did in the same period of time without making noise.
