It has come to the notice of Edolites that a certain Special Adviser to The Embattled and Outgoing Governor Of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, on special Duties by name, Hon Gowon Yakubu a.k.a Gowon Jerry, flooded the social media with pictures of a secondary school project he claimed he constructed under the instructions of Godwin Obaseki. SOJ Media team took a walk to the school to see things for themselves and also show the public, the bad state of the school building he claimed to have erected. On getting to the site of the school building, we discovered THE DOOR to the STAFF ROOM was LEFT OPEN during a time  when teachers and students are not in school. And there was just ONE CHAIR and ONE TABLE inside the STAFF ROOM. Seriously we were shocked beyond expression. The DOORS of the class room as claimed by Hon Gowon were IMPORTE

" OBASEKI HAS NO PROJECT TO SHOW IN OUR SCHOOL. OUR ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING IS A TETFUND PROJECT." AAU STAFFS AND STUDENTS SPEAK OUT On recent times, The People of Edo State have been made to believe so many lies about Godwin Obaseki, Outgoing Governor Of Edo State, by His Media thugs who stop at nothing to paint the governor good and sinless. The governor have been claiming Ownership of Projects belonging to TETFUND, SEEFOR, NDDC and others in an attempt to make Edo people believe and elect him a second time. One of the Projects Obaseki is claiming Ownership of is the NEW ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING IN AMBROSE ALLI UNIVERSITY, EKPOMA (AAU), a project belonging to the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND).

ENOUGH OF MEMORANDOM OF UNDERDEVELOPMENT (MOU) IN EDO STATE By TONY AIGBORIA Governor Godwin Obaseki was inaugurated in 2016 amidst fanfare and thunderous hope that the foundational structures which Oshiomhole had laid will be further entrenched by the Governor Godwin led administration. Disingenuously, he led everyone to believe he was a technocrat with a sound mind capable of taking Edo forward. Little did anyone knows that the Judas traits of his forebears are very much with him. Even though Comrade Adams was warned of this reality, he never saw a man with so much calm disposition to turn out a be a better traitor than his grandfather. Obaseki unstrapped his dictatorial tendencies as soon as he took over power, he created tributaries off all the ministries manned by Senior Special Assistance (SSA) to undermine the statutory ministries and their commissioners. To prove that he already had a script, the day he inaugurated commissioners he assured them that he will make them poorer tha

Edo 2020: PDP Chieftain pledges support for APC candidate Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu and Hon Gani Audu. “We will join hands collectively with the APC candidate to ensure that Godwin Obaseki does not return. I am PDP member, but I will vote APC. A man with the humility of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu is better than a governor who fights everyone who disagrees with him. Edo has become too polarised over avoidable and needless battles. Let us have a new leadership that will usher in quiet and peace to everyone. The noises from the Obaseki aspiration have become too polluted and cannot be in the best interest of anyone.” Commenting on Hon. Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama, Afegbua said: “Hon. Ogbeide-Ihama got swallowed up by the politics of money that has become the bane of Nigerian politics. He was ambushed by Governor Obaseki’s desperation who was ready to use any amount to railroad people in the party to buy into his aspiration. How can someone who did not buy nomination form, who came in when sale of f

GUBER: UCHE NWOSU'S SUPREME COURT AWAITS OBASEKI, GODWIN ERAHON, FORMER EDO APC PUBLICITY SECRETARY WARNS. A former state Publicity Secretary of the Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Godwin Erhahon has warned the state governor, Godwin Obaseki, and his deputy, Philip Shaibu, to be wary of the fate of the candidate of the Action Alliance (AA) political party in Imo State, Uche Nwosu, in a recent Supreme Court judgment. He said Obaseki is surrounded by swindlers who are urging him and his deputy to continue to pursue their gubernatorial ambition on the ‘wonky, expired and empty platform of the PDP.’ Erhahon, a former Chairman of the Edo State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), in a statement in Benin City, said the Supreme Court judgment in the case involving Nwosu, who participated in the party primary election of two different political parties in Imo, ought to have made Obaseki have a rethink because of the illegality of the action. ‘The ape

Obaseki's Gelegele seaport as captured by Moji Danisa This is Obaseki's Gelegele Seaport where he has been sinking billions of state funds, Edo people's money since 2017.  This is GeleGele Seaport. Only canoes and pirogues berth there as we speak now. Obaseki had a great dream to revive the trade route of yore at Ughoton. The Portuguese and others used the Ovia River for trade with the Edos until the tragedy which ended the Benin Empire...according to history. Obaseki's intention would have been regarded as grand but it has turned out a delusional dream...as most of his projects are, all big talk and rickety start ups without progress...Gelegele became an avenue to fritter state funds.  Does this look like a seaport? More on Obaseki's fraudulent government? Stay with me here. You will open your mouth!
