By Aiyidubie Igbinoba We have watched in utter consternation how the public space has recently been inaudated with misinformed and infantile vituperative misgivings of one Tony Erah over the upcoming Edo 2024 Governorship election. It is no longer news to any discerning mind, except Tony Erah who is not capable of understanding that the next governor of Edo state is favoured to come from the Edo Central senatorial district of the state by all state actors with a view to continue to foster the existing good neighborliness and peaceful coexistence for which the entire Edo State is known. Edo like other states has three senatorial districts and it is on good record that no particular district of our great Edo State or other state for that matter is actually capable of winning Governorship election single handedly without the collaboration of other two districts and this synergy of symbiotic relationship has been the order of our elections since the advent of our democrati

As Edo people continue to count days for the terminal date for the expiration of the Godwin Obaseki led administration, notable aspirants and their supporters are strategically positioning themselves for electoral victory in the coming Edo governorship election. A frontline Governorship Aspirant who would likely be favoured by his indepth understanding of the diverse communities and the rural dwellers is Very Rev Fr. Dr. Andrew Obinyan. Fr.

The political character of any person is his habitual responses to political situations and this is rooted at his or her personality level. These responses, include a wide range of attitudinal actions and traits formed over the years. Some are apathy or interest, submission or assertiveness towards authority, suspicion or trust of other groups, empathy, emotional intelligence and several others. Today, the political space in Edo State is bereaved of a man with political character. The result of this missing quality has resulted in the bumping and unstable socio-economic situation in Edo State. A state that was on a steady rise during the stewardship of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has declined to that of social instability that has put her credibility in doubt with unending political infighting. As politicians prepares for the September 2024 governorship election, the various parties must as a matter of fact, consider political character and antecedent as number one qualificati

As the expiration date of Godwin Obaseki is getting closer, many aspirants across political divide have signified interest in the plum job. One potential aspirant who is likely to carry the day is Very Rev. Fr. (Dr.) Andrew Obinyan because of his close ties with Edo youths. He has been able to develop strong conviviality with the youths through useful engagements and endeavours carefully thought out programmes to meet the aspirations of the youth thereby redirecting their energies to worthwhile enterprise. His solely sponsored football tournament, regular empowerment talk on having a great aim and investment in self instance, among other worthwhile endeavours, have engendered a new vista of hope for the teeming Edo Students and youth. This synergy and collaboration with the youth across political divide without doubt would give him an edge over other aspirants in the Edo 2024 Governorship election as the youth are already eagerly awaiting the coming of Very Rev Fr.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) nationwide indefinite strike on Tuesday, paralysed human and commercial activities in Edo State. Checks by Champion Newspaper around the state capital, showed that Court premises, deposit banks, and other financial institutions were under lock and key in strict compliance of NLC directives. Activities in government ministries and agencies were also halted by the solidarity strike while only private businesses open for business. Also, Oredo, Egor and other local government Secretariats visited in the Benin city metropolis were in compliance also as workers in their numbers hung around the councils' premises  In a twist, the Congress Of Nigeria University Academics (CONUA), University of Benin (Uniben) Chapter, distanced itself from the ongoing NLC strike, describing it as a "one man decision". The Chairman of the Uniben CONUA, Comrade. Ishaq Osagie-Eweka, who stated this in a chat with our Correspendent on Tuesday in Benin,

By Osarobo Igbinomwanhia  "When people throw you stones, it's because you are a good tree full of fruits. They see a lot of harvest in you. Don't go down to their level by throwing them back the stones, but throw them your fruits so the seeds of yourself may inspire them to change their ways" - Susie Hess Miller  The above quote from the American art collector and motivational speaker, Susie Hess Miller aptly captures the trauma and pains one Tony Erha is presently experiencing in the run up to the Edo State governorship election and the advocacy for an Edo Governor of Esan  extraction.  His latest article is titled "Of Akpakomiza's Imposition, Ohonbamu's Outburst and Metephoric Power Shift to Esanland", published in the 9 November edition of the Conclave news.

By Chris Tony Akhabue The protest by Ikpoba Hill Youths over the deplorable condition of the road linking Benin- Agbor and other South South States of the federation has elicited commendable response as the Edo state government has put mechanism in place to ensure required palliative is done on the failed portions to make it motorable until comprehensive rehabilitation is done by concerned federal authorities. Recall that the deplorable situation of the road irked the youths who took to the streets and consequently barricaded the road in several places to press home their demand for its rehabilitation. Palliative work has started earnestly from the Tony Dee point as hard core used as palliative have eased off the chaotic situations on that axis.  Speaking to the champion newspaper correspondent, the Ikpoba Hill Youths Forum chairman, Comrade Kingsley Osemwigie said that he is happy that the Edo state governo Mr Godwin Obaseki visited the protesting youths to assure the

 Every government spells out a spending plan at the beginning of a fiscal year. It is based on income and expenditure, called budget. The reason people are no longer excited over budget presentation is because it has become a mere yearly ritual. It sounds so melodious to hear our leaders reeling out from a budget what they intend to accomplish in a fiscal year. But at the end of the year, the people look back and become so disappointed that the budget hardly performed-- as most of the promises and declarations made therein never got attention.  Here is the good news. Dorry Okojie is coming with the weapons of probity, accountability, patriotism and prudence to assure and ensure budget performance. As a practical person, with a very rare quality of working his talk, he will drive a transparent team-- work that knows the fundamental import of public financial administration as essentially pivotal to budget execution. Over the years, non budget performance has come to be a
