POLITICS OF EDO STATE.

The disappointing output from those who rode high into office on propaganda and lies is making the vast majority of Edi state indigenous take a second look and think again. The honeymoon with misinformed citizens is fading away! The persecution of a man  they tagged a political nobody is now the main focus of the incumbent state government in Edo State. Over 15 hectares of land for empowering Edo youths with agricultural wealth - creating skills has to go just for a needless power show. Edo politician,let's remember the transient nature of power.Yesterday, it was Oyegun, Lucky Igbinedion, Osumbor, Oshiomhole and now Obaseki.When leaders step off the political stage, how do they want to be remembered?

We have a situation where moral and legal clarity is usually attacked by a self-interested elite group steeped in deceit and with no conscience. Nigeria, for example, is no exception to this challenging and uninspiring status quo. This is what is playing out in today's Nigeria. There is an ongoing unhealthy rivalry between two elite groups. A subtle supremacy battle in which each of them wants to undo the other to stay politically relevant. In the process, all kinds of divisive strategies are employed( ethnicity, religion, and even gender) to confuse the sentimental populace and divert attention away from the glaring shortcomings of leadership. Subsequently, governance suffers and there is a dearth of needed public infrastructure to improve the well-being of the governed.  For Nigeria to make any a
