DROP YOUR NASS AMBITIONS, PREPARE FOR GOVERNORSHIP

Drop your NASS ambitions, prepare for governorship….Ojomon tells Uromi Politicians



By: Oriaifoh Godwins

Prince Michael Ojomon, Former National Secretary to Uromi Community Association and a retired Teacher, has called on political leaders as well as politicians in Uromi, the headquarters of Esan North East local government area of Edo state to jettison the idea of contesting for any position at the National Assembly, like the Senatorial or House of Representatives, as the position of the Governor of Edo state, which is clearly the turn of an Esan man to occupy is ahead and the politicians and people of Uromi across the political divide, should rather begin to prepare for it now. 


 Prince Ojomon who said, he is not in support of Hon.  Mike Onolememen, or Rt. Hon. Friday Itulah contesting for the position of the Senator of Edo central, added that, even if Okpebholo has had their turn of eight years, in occupying the position of the Senator, he will rather advice that Uromi should allow the other axis of Agbazilo to contest for the senatorial position so that when the time comes, it will be an all Uromi affair.

Reacting to the possibility of some persons in Okpebholo also showing interest in the gubernatorial race when the time comes, he said for equity and fair share, Okpebholo shouldn’t allow the Agbazilo axis of Esanland to  have the position of the governor this time, as Okpebholo already occupied the position twice when Professor Ambrose Alli was the governor and when Professor Osunbor was the governor.   

Prince Ojomon also advised that any one from Uromi that is currently contesting for the position to represent Esan North east/Esan south east at the House of Representatives, should also step down to allow those from the other parts of Agbazilo to contest for the position. He said; “…all those aspirants from Uromi, that are jostling to contest for the Senate and House of Representatives positions, should rather all come together and form a very strong force to support a governorship candidate when the time comes….’

Much Ado About Uniben gate killings .... Nemesis? or...?

Much Ado About Uniben gate killings  .... Nemesis? or...? By: Oriaifoh Godwins. On Sunday 10th May 2026, the people of Edo State, and indeed Nigerians and the world at large, received with rude shock the barbaric murder of a student called Alex Omoijiate, a University of Benin student who was said to have just finished writing his exams. When I saw the lifeless bullet riddled body of the guy, sitting behind the steering of the Mercedes GLK vehicle, the first thing that came to my mind is: "What a wicked world !". How can anybody do this to a fellow human? Hours later, the social media was awash with how quiet and easy going, the guy was, some persons expressed same sentiment that I expressed, the first time I saw the video, but the following day, stories behind the killings began to emerge. I have been telling those that care to listen, that; "every action definitely has an equal and opposite reaction", but many think it's just a 'stray talk'; however, t...
