ITUA'S SACK, GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH

Image
By Chris Akhabue  The realm of Social Media is rife with superfluous lamentations of inexperienced commentators bemoaning the sack of Fred Itua, the former Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to the Executive governor of Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo. Two of such misleading conjectures caught my attention this morning .  One of the baseless and unfounded pieces titled, "SIR OWAEN FRED ITUA : A VITAL ASSET NEEDED FOR THE FULL ACTUALIZATION OF THE SHINE AGENDA" authored by one Osatofoh Aitolo sponsored to launder the unredeemable self inflicted damages on the sacked CPS is unfortunately an exercise in futility and a vexatious affront on the highly esteemed personality and integrity of the state governor and all well meaning Edo people. ‎ It might have been wiser not to dignify the undignifiable piece with any response, as it is not solicited,  but silence in the face of such drivel would risk allowing his fabrications to fester unchecked and ultimately add ...

PDP Calls On President Bola Ahmed Tinubu To Prevail On His Party Members In Edo.

Image
  PDP Stands Firmly With Former Governor Godwin Obaseki Against The Provocations And Destructive Politics Of The Okpebholo Administration The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Edo State Chapter, wishes to alert Edo people, Nigerians, and the Federal Government to the ongoing, coordinated and increasingly reckless campaign of calumny, provocation, distortion and hostility being orchestrated by the Edo State Government under Senator Monday Okpebholo and his cohort of overbearing APC godfathers. For months, the APC-led administration has deliberately sought to bait, distract and tarnish former Governor Godwin Obaseki, a leader who served Edo State with transparency, prudence, institutional reform and clarity of purpose. This lingering resentment stems from Obaseki’s principled refusal to surrender Edo’s resources to private pockets — a tradition entrenched under their former leader, Adams Oshiomhole, but courageously halted by Obaseki. DESTRUCTION OF OBASEKI’S LEGACY PROJECT...
