ESAN PEOPLE, CHIEF TONY ANENIH AND EDO STATE GOVERNMENT.

Buhari

By Prince Kelly O. Udebhulu, Director, Media & Publicity, APC Nigeria, Spain Chapter.

The head of a camel would eventually pass through the eye of a needle for any Edo central`s candidate to be able to convince the Benins and the Edo North people to concede the governorship seat to Edo Central (Esanland) on the basis of  justice and fair play. Tell the prophet or prophetess that he/she lied to you politically anchored upon the Nigeria`s political perspective!

It should be cleared to the Esan people (Edo central) that the leadership of the APC would like to zone the governor seat to Edo South Senatorial district, though political analysts are yet to deduce from the body language of the governor who succeeds him. It is obvious that only Governor Oshiomhle and he alone can determine the next governor from the array of aspirants scrambling for the seat. No two ways about it.

The 2016 governorship election is going to be direct fight between the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Interestingly, with the victory of the APC in the 2015 polls and the massive defections that have confronted the PDP in Edo state plus the alignment and re-alignment of famous politicians and party big wigs who where hitherto in the other side of political divide, and their supporters engaging in what could be regarded as political re-alignment under the APC platform; joined with  the APC in the state to win majority of the state House of Assembly seats in the just concluded general elections make the party the preferred platform for aspirants who want to succeed Comrade Governor Adams Oshiomhole because the battle can best be viewed at the favored direction of APC`s candidate securing enough supports and votes at the poll results  of  Edo state governorship election, 2016. 

For Edo central to gain, we must lobby or ask for the seat of a deputy governor that will be best positioned as a credible governorship candidate after the tenure of his principal. Without doubt in my mind, the deputy governor will do his or her best to bring development to Esan land just as our deputy governor today, Odubu who is commitment to the development of his local government in particular and attracted a number of road projects, pipe borne water, electrification projects and the construction of the Ogan/ Ugo/Orhomikhe /Urghonigbe 57 kilometer stretch of road to his people.  This must be our concern now or never as Esan people must know that the era of playing politics blindly or non-digital is over, we cannot afford to play the role of opposition to any ruling government at this modern day Nigerian politics, as the political wind blows, we must follow in order to gain unlike the era of late Prof. Alli and Jakande, when and where opposition to the ruling party gained. We must have concrete plans to project and position ourselves accurately.

We should remember our icon in politics in Nigeria, Chief Tony Anenih, founding member of PDP just resigned from active politics and his enormous roles he played in the party for the past 16 years both in the human and political development in Esan land and Nigeria in general must be emulated by any person or persons that will ever rise to such height in Nigeria politics. Ironically, some major clan or clans in Esan land must desist from the myopic reasoning that they only can produce a very better person for Esan development; any clan should be allowed enough playing fields politically for any rising Esan person or persons into the State and Nigeria politics. Saul was known to be at longer head with Christians but later turned to Paul and a leading member of the Christian family.

2016 governorship election turns out to be a joker card for edo central inhabitants and must be handled maturely. It is now or never as where two elephants fight, the ground suffers.

CHIEF TONY ANENIH RESIGNS AS PDP BoT CHAIRMAN.

The National Working Committee, NWC, of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said it has received the resignation of the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the party, Tony Anenih.

In accepting the resignation, the NWC noted the outstanding contributions of Mr. Anenih in the party over the years especially in his capacity as the Board of Trustees Chairman.

“As one of the founding fathers of the PDP, the NWC appreciates Chief Anenih’s guiding role in the party in the last 16 years and wish him well in his future endeavours,” the party said late Wednesday.

The party in a statement by its national secretary, Wale Oladipo, also said “consequent upon the resignation, the Secretary of the Board of Trustees, Senator Walid Jibrin holds forth pending the election of a new BoT Chairman”.

The party said Mr. Anenih resigned “on personal grounds”.

The PDP has been hit by a wave of crisis since losing the recent national elections.

Its national chairman, Adamu Mu’azu, resigned earlier on Wednesday.

EDO CENTRAL SENATORIAL DISTRICT & ITS APC`S GOVERNORSHIP FRONT RUNNERS 2016. Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor & Barrister Kenneth Imansuagbon (The Riceman).

A Review by Prince Kelly O. Udebhulu

“A leader is one who knows the way, shows the way, and goes the way; where and when you board your flight never really matter, a successful landing at destination counts…Kelly Udebhulu (2015).”

Before  General Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) won the presidential election in Nigeria, at the March 28th 2015 Presidential poll, these great sons of Esan land have been at their respective private lives, became APC loyalists which arose calculations across the country of their predicted defections to APC anytime. Today, these great personalities defected and their ambitions to rule and put in their best towards the development of Edo state remain firm and strong.

Though we have capable minds from Esan land who are in APC today, like minds as Chief (Dr) Francis Inegbeniki, Mr Joe Okojie, Mr Victor Eboigbe, Hon. Thomas Okosun, and host of others, these two personalities below have in the past, shown interests and still illuminate such ambitions to become the next Edo state governor after the incumbent Governor, Comrade Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole.

Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor:

Born on Friday, October 5, 1951 in Iruekpen in the present day Esan West Local Government Area of Edo State to Mr. Abraham A. Osunbor, a retired teacher and politician and Dame Felicia E. Osunbor, a retired teacher.

On May 29, 2007, PDP produced Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor as the governor of Edo state. He served as the Civilian Governor of the state from May 29, 2007 to November 11, 2008 after the court nullified his election. On March 2008, the Edo State Governorship Election Tribunal declared that Prof. Osubor’s election was invalid, and asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to withdraw his certificate and declared Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole of the Action Congress (AC) Party the winner. On November 11, 2008, a Federal Appeal Court sitting in Benin City upheld the ruling of the state’s election petitions tribunal, declaring Oshiomhole to be the governor of Edo state. The decision was based on several voting irregularities.

Former Governor Oserheimen Osunbor, Professor of Law and the immediate past governor of Edo State, is a major pillar of the PDP in Edo Central Senatorial district before his defection with his teeming supporters to APC on Tuesday, March 7, 2015.

His defection to APC did not come to many as a shock owing to the fact that despite he was the National Chairman of the Nigeria Law Review Commission under the Jonathan’s administration because many felt he had overstayed in the PDP over alleged illegality that characterized the conduct of the PDP governorship primaries at Dr. Samuel Ogbemudia’s stadium in 2012 where he lost. More often than not, Osunbor prior to his defection had stayed away from activities of the PDP, an indication that his days with the party were numbered. 

Osunbor, who is from Edo Central senatorial district is touted to contest the 2016 governorship election, may have capitalized on the agitation from the people of the zone that it is their turn to produce the next governor for the state. Part of the agitation was that Osunbor only served for 18 months in office between 2007 – 2008, when the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal declared Osunbor election invalid. 

The former governor had in a previous encounter disclosed that he had been under pressure from friends and associates to contest the 2016 governorship election. He was received into the APC by governor Oshiomhole. Oshiomhole, while welcoming Osunbor into the APC family stated, “I will be working with a respected Professor of Law like you and many of you supporters. We thank God for what he has used us to achieve. I appeal to our people to vote for our APC House of Assembly candidates because they will help me to develop our state rapidly and with the APC government at the top, the sky is our limit”.

Barrister Kenneth Imansuagbon (The Riceman).

Kenneth Imansuangbon is a man of many parts. A lawyer, politician, busi­nessman, philanthro­pist and the chairman, of Abu­ja-based Pace Setters Group of Schools. Born on May 4, 1966, into a humble background in the rustic Ewohimi community in Edo State, he rose to fame by dint of diligence, transparency and open-mindedness.

He began his educational pur­suit at the St. John’s Catholic School Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State and proceeded to Ago-Iwoye Second­ary School, also in Ogun State. Though he passed out in flying col­ours in 1981, owing to poverty, the young Imansuangbon had to take to menial job as a technical assistant with the Federal Capital Develop­ment Authority (FCDA) Abuja. He worked with some great expatriates who spotted his exceptional bril­liance and talent and advised him strongly to return to school. Ken did not dismiss that idea with a wave of the hand. While at FCDA, he gained admission to study law at the University of Ife (Obafemi Awolowo University) Ile-Ife.

After a stint as a lawyer during which he established Imansuang­bon and Co. Company, a legal firm of which he is a principal partner, he veered into education when he set up Pace Setter Schools. As Chairman of the Schools/Academy with more than three campuses in Abuja and one in the US, Imansu­angbon has for years now offered scholarships to children of mili­tary/police and other security of­ficers who lost their lives in active service.

In quest to promote grassroots sports and youth education, Iman­suangbon has annually organised sports and essay writing competi­tion for secondary schools across the country.In continuation of his philan­thropic gestures, Imansuangbon has for seven consecutive years shared bags of rice on the streets of Edo State every Christmas, a ges­ture which has endeared him to the people and earned him the alias, “Rice Man.

In spite of his contribution to the educational sector in the country, the educationist turned politician threw his hart into the governorship ace way back in 2007 on the platform of the Action Congress (AC), alongside Hon. Charles Idahosa, and Matthew Atama, as the front liners. He left the party in anger and went to the PDP when he lost the AC ticket to Oshiomhole. It was learnt that Imansuagbon, a major financier of the party played a critical role in what has today metamorphosed into APC. In 2012, he again contested for the governorship ticket on the PDP platform in a party primary that as reportedly skewed by party leaders in favor of Major General Charles Airhiavbere.

Before now, Imansuagbon, can be said to be a member of the APC. He was said to have left the PDP in December 2014, over what he attributed to lack of justice, equity and fairness by leaders of the party. He was reported to have predicted a revolution which would sweep the PDP out of power in the 2015 general elections, a prediction that has come past.

The governorship hopeful, who also hails from Edo Central senatorial district, is confident of clinching the APC governorship ticket come 2016, recently revealed to the press why he jumped the PDP sinking ship to work for the APC, in an interview. 

He said, “if you observed, by the time Mr. President visited Benin I was not at the stadium, I was conspicuously absent. In December, I granted an interview where I said I foresaw a revolution in Nigeria.

And what that means was change and I predicted that Jonathan was going to lose the election. So, when Jonathan visited Edo I had resigned my membership of the PDP.

“In PDP, what made them lose the election basically was because there was lack of fairness, equity and justice within the party and even in Edo State majorly. You saw the primaries of 2012, if it was free and fair I would have won the primaries and of course the story today would have been different”.

“I supported Buhari at the general election, thought I was out of the country. My coming to the APC was not about the party but about the honesty of Buhari, I am a Nigerian and what influences me is my love for my country. I saw that Buhari will represent the interest of the Nigeria people better, so I supported him. Even, though I was outside the country then. I asked my people to vote for APC and that was what happened. I supported APC with money tactics and logistics and we delivered APC. I am happy to tell you that I delivered APC against the tyranny of a few”, he declared.

He also expressed confidence that despite he is from Edo central senatorial district, the people of Afemai in Edo North and the Bini’s of Edo South would support his governorship ambition come 2016.

SENATORIAL CONTEST; WHAT ESAN PEOPLE MUST KNOW.

By Prince Kelly O. Udebhulu.

Esan people seriously need a new beginning, and, Esan people have the enough political capacity to bring this into reality. After 16, non-stop, years of PDP domination in Esan politics, every Esan person cannot visibly touch, an infrastructural, educational, social development recorded in our land except what our illustrious son, late Prof. Ambrose Alli, brought to esan land during his 4 years rule as Governor of the then Bendel state. Back to memory lane, NPN headed by our high chief in PDP today, were the people who ringed late Prof  Ambrose Alli out of office in the 1983 election, thereby, putting to a stop the developmental train that entered esanland then; (if late Prof Alli was allowed to continue his second term in office, I guess, esan land would have developed more than where it reached during his first term). Same PDP cabals removed Prof Osunbor, as Governor, from office with an accusation of disloyalty. How much can we say that Esan people never experienced in the hands of these conservatives?

Now, the hard lesson we have learnt is enough and the only way to show our collective reaction is to vote out PDP domination in Esanland in this forth-coming election, with this, we have expressed our anger that the EBAKOTA (agreement reached only by cabals in PDP always which still produced another sleeping senator in waiting as their PDP candidate in the senatorial race, who will be 100 % loyal to the PDP conservatives), have ended abruptly politically.

Here comes a known Esan personality, a businessman, a philanthropist, the Uzoya of Esanland, Chief (Dr) Francis Inegbeniki, who knows the political terrain clearly, who cannot be another sleeping senator representing Edo central senatorial district. One funny accusation by many in distant from Chief Inegbeniki, who claimed to know him (people who are more catholic than the pope), is that they tagged him as rude and fearless and will never respect the godfathers. Just imagine! My reaction to them is straight; Chief Francis Inegbeniki will be rude to those who prevent developments to come to Esanland and will continue to be a thorn in their hearts till the liberation we desire from the hands of these cabals is achieved.

Chief (Dr) Francis Inegbeniki promises everywhere he goes in his campaign rally to make esan people proud, uses his senatorial influences to bring infrastructural developments to Esan land, empower Esan indigenes just as he has being doing in his private capacity, he preaches peace throughout Esan land, assures every voters that their votes will count and avoid confrontations in the faces of provocations as he is fully aware of the sinister plans of the PDP cabals. He assures people of Esan people in the Uzea/Uromi/Ugboha environs of the completion of the water projects abandoned by the PDP”s contractors though claimed completed in their record. He further assures other esan people of provision of water and other desired amenities accordingly.

Chief (Dr) Francis Inegbeniki assures all enijies including chiefs that he will represents their interests at the federal levels and promises to eradicate unnecessary bureaucracy in the welfare packages of the traditional rulers. Not left to be assured are the market women who will be proud to have Chief (Dr) Francis Inegbeniki as their senator.

The Senatorial election day is 28th March, 2015, I promise you that you will be proud of the work he will do at the Senate, so lets us all work together either by making phone calls, door-to-door mobilization, organizing support in your neighbourhood, stand in for Chief Francis Inegbeniki where orientation, correction and amendment are to be given in absentia !

“I win You Win”

EVERLASTING MEMORY: 365 DAYS TODAY, I LOST MY DEAR BLOOD BROTHER, LATE CHIEF FRIDAY USIFOH OSUYI. A TRIBUTE TO HIM. (1958-2014).

prince kelly holding the portrait of the late brother

By Prince Kelly O. Udebhulu (Younger Brother).

I would like to share something personal with you. On February 6th, 2014,  my brother passed away. Indeed, God reached down from heaven and took him home at the age of 56 years.

“Few only notice your successes but many feel your positive touches in their lives”...a tribute ( Prince K. Udebhulu, 06/02/2014).

Around the spring season of 1958, a child was born to the family of Ibharayi by a golden daughter of Pa Odiase of Ohon- Urohi, in Esan West Local Government of Edo State; the child name was Late Chief Friday Usifoh Osuyi. He was strong, wise, energetic, handsome, emulative and aspiring right from his tender age because of the circumstances surrounding his early days in life-many know about these circumstances.

My blood brother, Late Chief Friday Usifoh Osuyi, was a very special man. He was a person who cared about the people around him. He always took a special interest in what everybody did and how they were doing it. He never quit fighting injustice & oppression. His true success in life is people. He understood the joy in lifting other people up, making them smile, and leaving them changed in a positive way. He was trying to make this world a better place for all until the end to get well from the diabetes that came to his life at the last years of his successful period on this planet earth.

He is very much a big part of who I am today. I have been lucky to spend 44 years with him and to be part of his life. He dishonored bad advices that came to him during his early plans to have me educated, trained and subsequent sponsoring of my humble self to abroad where I became a man today. He touched many of our lives in so many ways. We are all better people because we knew my brother and God used him to touch our lives.

My brother was an amazing family man and always had time for his family at all times. He was a devoted husband.

Our Mom and my brother shared many good times away and at home together, just to show genuine love, caring and affection to her.

"Brother, Our mom weeps but gracious to God that you were a figure and an icon wherever you touched while on this planet earth! How we wish you are alive for more gracious years!!! ".

My love of hard work, boldness, wise decision making, love for those who dislike me and my spirit to assist people under my capacity came directly from my brother.
The things I will miss most are our morning phone calls, how he cares about me, my two sisters, his children, his wives and his big smile.

All I want to say is thank you to my brother for making this world a better place for my family and our friends. Thank you for caring about me and taking an interest in my life. I love you brother.

Please let’s have this prayer for him;

“GOD, GIVE HIM A BETTER RESTING PLACE, PROTECT HIS CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN, PROTECT HIS FAMILY, SUPPORT OUR MOM TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO BEAR THE LOSS, AND GUIDE HIS BROTHER, SISTERS, FAMILY RELATIVES AND FRIENDS TO SHOW LOVE TO HIS FAMILY THAT HE LEFT BEHIND IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.”

Late Chief Friday Usifoh Osuyi, was a Husband, a Brother, a Grandfather, an Uncle and a Friend to many and most of all was my pillar, educator, father, best friend who touched my life in many ways positively.

MAY YOU CONTINUE TO REST IN PEACE.
