Obaseki Declares War On Civil Servants: Edo Rejects His Do-Or-Die Intimidation
Obaseki Declares War on Civil Servants: Edo Rejects His Do-or-Die IntimidationIn a shocking display of desperation, Governor Godwin Obaseki has once again resorted to threatening the civil servants of Edo State, warning them that their jobs are at risk if they do not vote for the PDP.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
His chilling declaration that the upcoming election is a “life and death situation” reveals just how far he is willing to go to cling to power, turning the democratic process into a personal battlefield.
Governor Obaseki, let us be clear: Edo State will not be held hostage by your fear tactics. This is not the Stone Age, where leaders could enslave their people for selfish gain. We are in the 21st century, and democracy thrives on values such as compassion, integrity, leadership, and transparency – qualities that you seem to have abandoned in your quest for power.
The civil servants of Edo State are not your pawns. They are hardworking citizens who deserve respect, not threats. What exactly have you done for these civil servants that makes you feel entitled to control their votes?
These are individuals who have seen your failures firsthand and now, out of desperation, you attempt to bully them into submission.
Your constant refrain that this election is a “do-or-die” affair shows the extent of your obsession with power. But let us remind you, Governor Obaseki: the people of Edo will not be intimidated. They will not be forced into voting for a party that has failed them repeatedly. They will make their choices based on their conscience, not on your coercive threats.
Edo is a state where the people are intelligent, resilient, and proud. They will not allow their futures to be dictated by fear. Obaseki must take a step back and recognize that he cannot continue to treat civil servants like slaves or subjects. This is a democracy, and the people’s will is paramount.
As the APC, we stand with the civil servants of Edo State and all citizens. We encourage them to exercise their democratic rights free from intimidation and harassment. Obaseki’s threats only expose his weaknesses and insecurities. It’s time for him to take a chill pill, focus on his legacy, and leave the people of Edo to make their decisions in peace.
Governor, elections are not a do-or-die affair. The people will speak through the ballot, and no amount of threats will change that.

DOUBLE AGENT CRISIS: Melaye Fires Epic Warning Over Adedeji’s Alleged Dual Roles As Tax Boss and President’s Fundraiser!.
African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain Dino Melaye has strongly criticized the inclusion of Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) Executive Chairman, Zacch Adedeji, as Deputy Director of Fundraising for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 presidential campaign.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Appearing as a guest on Arise Television’s Prime Time, Melaye argued that assigning campaign fundraising duties to the head of a critical national revenue agency demonstrates profound desperation and violates public service rules.
Key Objections and Legal Challenge
-
Conflict of Interest: Melaye emphasized that because the NRS chairman’s office is a Senate-confirmed position bound by statutory and public service regulations, holding a simultaneous political campaign role creates an unacceptable conflict of interest.
-
Intentions Questioned: He alleged that the arrangement suggests the initial appointment to the NRS was strategically designed to channel financial backing toward the president’s re-election bid.
-
Legal Action: Vowing to challenge the development in a court of law, Melaye stated his intention to expose what he perceives as a disregard for governance standards.
Response to Campaign List Review
Melaye also reacted to recent reports regarding the suspension and review of the campaign council roster. He claimed that the swift administrative pullback and the omission of certain names were direct reactions to public outcry and criticisms raised by opposition figures.

Former Aviation Minister and Nigeria’s former Ambassador to South Africa, Femi Fani-Kayode, has publicly criticized former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, alleging that his eight-year administration oversaw the systematic marginalization and mistreatment of Christian communities in the state.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Addressing northern Christian leaders, Fani-Kayode claimed that during El-Rufai’s tenure, Christian communities faced violence, denial of developmental projects, and unequal allocation of resources. He asserted that Christian clergy members frequently endured insults and opposition regarding government policies, yet maintained a stance of prayer and non-violence.
Shifting his focus to the current administration, Fani-Kayode praised incumbent Governor Uba Sani—who previously served as a special adviser under El-Rufai—describing him as fair-minded and inclusive. According to Fani-Kayode, Sani had privately expressed deep concern over the previous administration’s approach toward religious groups in the state.
Furthermore, Fani-Kayode alleged that El-Rufai’s former deputy, Barnabas Bala Bantex, was also undermined and disrespected because of his faith during cabinet sessions. Concluding his remarks, Fani-Kayode emphasized that principles of fairness and spiritual duty must always transcend partisan politics.

Inside Oshiomhole’s Warning: Why Hope Uzodinma Is The Wrong Man To Sell The APC Government to Ndigbo!
Former Edo State Governor and current Senator Adams Oshiomhole has clarified that Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma should not bear the sole responsibility of championing President Bola Tinubu and his administration across the South-East region.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking during a television interview on Sunday, Oshiomhole addressed broader political engagement strategies aimed at strengthening ties between the Federal Government and the South-East. He noted that while Uzodimma holds a prominent position as secretary within the ruling party’s campaign structure, that role does not translate to an exclusive mandate for explaining government policies and milestones to the Igbo community.
Instead, Oshiomhole emphasized that all political leaders and governors representing the South-East share an equal duty to communicate effectively with their constituents and build strong bridges with the center.
“Please note, the fact that Hope Uzodimma is the secretary doesn’t mean he will be the one marketing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the Igbo nation. I believe that every other governor in the South-East also has a role to play,” Oshiomhole stated.
