Shaibu Reinstatement: None of the Dictators We Have in Africa is Worse than the One in Edo - Emwanta

For over a year, Gov. Obaseki has been witch hunting Philip Shaibu because he nursed an ambition to succeed him. Asides denying Shaibu his rights to allowances, he was even denied his right to worship as a Christian. Edo people will not allow these undemocratic tendencies to continue

This boy called Ewanta can not go far in life with his bad & unstable characters. He's so bitter as if Governor Obaseki collected his wife. In matters like this, you don't have to take it so personally or be emotionally outbursted unnecessarily on a national TV. Politics is a mere game where there's no permanent enemies or permanent friends. Simply stay professional and remain calm whilst expressing yourself. Ironically, the same baby politician or charged & bail lawyer called Ewanta who is lambasting Governor Obaseki here, rose to prominence through Obaseki by first making him an SSA and later a commissioner. Ewanta, you are biting the fingers that fed you? An ingrate & a betrayal is calling another person an ingrate and a betrayal..? What a joke..!! Obaseki is being bashed because he stands for good governance and he aims to retire all career politicians who believe in "loot & share"

Adaze Emwanta is like a woman scorned. He was handpicked for Commissioner by Gov Obaseki but terminated for poor performance. His bitterness and sense of entitlement know no bounds.

Acting like a partisan lap dog/spokesmam as a lawyer is shortsighted. You can present your case without all the lies, propaganda, and personal insults. How come Obaseki only became a wicked dictator only after he fired Emwata from his position as a non-peformer in his cabinet?!
