[TNG Analysis] At last, Oshiomhole eats the humble pie as Yahaya Bello predicts doom for PDP

The name Adams Oshiomhole rings a bell in Nigeria, the highly energetic former All Progressives Congress, APC chairman finally eats the humble pie pledging an unalloyed loyalty to his party.

One would have thought that after spitting fire over Governor Godwin Obaseki’s disqualification before an Appeal Court shoved him aside, the strong man of Edo politics in his usual style was ready to unleash his tongue on his party.

But he chose to humble himself though still unapologetic over his actions goes a long way to show that if given a second chance he would repeat same feat.

When Oshiomhole was in charge of the APC every other person was beneath him.

After Obaseki was disqualified he told Nigerians that the NWC has decided and its decision was final.

But as soon as the governor shifts base to PDP moving his entire cabinet with 14 Assembly members, the fireworks that ensued finally swallowed him.

As the Edo governorship race draws close, Oshiomhole will move into the battle field with his crown prince Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu without a troop.

Hanging the toga of a former chairman one doubts whether his ward in Iyamho will not be captured by the PDP.

Some die-hard loyalists of the former Chairman still strongly believe that he would bounce back stronger than before.

While those he had stepped on their toes either as chairman or governor simply conclude that his bouncing back will be into oblivion.

A big lesson for public officers who while in office throw caution to the wind and conclude they will remain in the corridor of government forever.

Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello is the new spokesperson of the APC as of late he comments on virtually on all issues.

When Obaseki finally got the nod to run under the massive umbrella of the PDP he declared that like former President Goodluck Jonathan he would lose the guber race in Edo State.

Bello who is an unrepentant loyalist of sacked chairman of the APC, Oshiomhole was kept quiet by the PDP.

The last one he dropped on Friday is that the PDP would lose ten states soon though he didn’t specify the treacherous governors.

One should quickly remind Bello that before the 2019 general elections it was speculated that three governors of the PDP, two in the south east and one in the south south are set to defect to APC.

Till date none has defected to his troubled APC that is fast transforming into CPC.

The PDP simply told the youngest governor in Nigeria that his assertion is unfounded that he should rather put developmental structures in his Covid-19 free state.
