Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education suffer worse conditions. More than a mere infrastructural deficit, schools are under lock and key, left without activities as they continue their stint in indefinite strikes. #ObasekiFailedEdo
Under the false pretence or sincere ignorance that the debts will be repaid, Obaseki’s administration through Crusoe Osagie, the Special Adviser to the Edo State Governor on Media, explained away the debt, mindlessly. #ObasekiFailedEdo
The Gov of Edo state cried of injustice yet he gave an unjust treatment to the 14 HOA members, kidnapped 6 members at night to swore an oath. #ObasekiFailedEdo
He rationalized it thus:
“Contrary to the opinion by less informed people that ranking as the second state in the country after Lagos with the highest foreign debts portfolio is a negative feat, it is actually a positive development. #ObasekiFailedEdo
Youths who should be in school, who should be the future of Edo State, are now used at tools for artificially planted political conflicts, & the others, championing cultism, resort to kidnap-for-ransom trade #ObasekiFailedEdo
This simply indicates that Edo State, like Lagos and Kaduna states, are the few states in the country with the requisite level of transparency in governance to access the huge international pool of development financing. #ObasekiFailedEdo
#ObasekiFailedEdo continues to borrow under the guise that he is helping to improve infrastructure and enhance the living standards of ordinary people.
But after three years of rising debt profile, a casual observer can confidently ask: where are the infrastructure and the basic amenities enhancing the living standards of the ordinary people? #ObasekiFailedEdo
In the healthcare system, the Five Star General Hospital has continued to witness stories and accusations, without sincere effort to make available, primary health care for the common Edo man. #ObasekiFailedEdo
This is what Edo State has become: a place of deceitful narratives. Godwin Obaseki, wise enough to invest in proficient PR, but finds it unnecessary to carry out his many promises. #ObasekiFailedEdo
The conflicts brooding in Edo State started out with Obaseki pitching some political principals against the people, claiming that some elements want to coerce him into spending public fund. #ObasekiFailedEdo
Chinua Achebe in 'Arrow of God' stated that when a god turns against his worshippers, the people will show him what tree it was carved from, sending and dumping it back to the forest where it belongs. #ObasekiFailedEdo
But he is still the Governor, committed to hunting down lawlessness &putting everyone &everything to order. A statement he used to justify the demolition of political opponents' properties #ObasekiFailedEdo
