Fact Check on BUA Crisis in Okpella: Chris Nehikhare is a patent liar and fabricator of falsehood that must be ignored, says Edo Coalition for Good Governance

-

According to the group,
1. BUA cement factory in Obu Okpella is up and running as you read this piece.

2. Neither Governor Obaseki nor EDSG shut down BUA cement factory.

3. BUA has 10 (TEN) mining sites from where the Kano man takes limestone to feed his  plant.

4. Only one of the 10 mining sites has a dispute

5. Only the Federal govt is constitutionally empowered to allocate mine sites to individuals and companies

6. The court and FG issued a Stop Work Order for only the  disputed mine i.e BUA still has another 9 free mines.

7. BUA continued to mine at the disputed site despite the Stop Work Order using a militia group of innocent Edo youths and arming them to cover their activities at the disputed mining site.

8.Obaseki received SOS calls from some Elders in Afo Okpella who visited him in Benin to warn of an impending bloodbath.

9. Obaseki stopped all parties from working on only the disputed mine to prevent anarchy and senseless killings which is now common in Nigeria: remember what happened in Benue State, Rivers and Kaduna recently 

10. The PDP is not interested in peace in Okpella or anywhere else in Edo State. They are just trying to get into the Edo treasury so that they can start looting again.

It is strange that a party of looters and criminals that fed fat from money entrusted in their hands for the  development  of Edo State has suddenly emerged as the spokesman for BUA. But Edo people know their history and will allow the court to decide on the BUA- Dangote issue. 

PDP is indeed shameless for daring to say that it cares for Edo people. Since when? 

PDP does not care about Edo people. It is tired and dying and looking for any event in the polity to comment  on, no matter how uninformed the commentary. After losing out on all fronts, the once arrogant, lawless and shameless party  is fast becoming a pressure group instead of a political party whose criminal records will continue to hunt.

The Man Godwin Obaseki: Getting the Job Done - Chris Osa Nehikhare

There is no iota of doubt, irrespective of political differences, that Governor Godwin Obaseki has significantly improved State Competence, relative to his predecessors and across the States in the Country.  To achieve this, he had to rescue the State from private capture by ruthless non-State actors; this freed up public resources for public purposes.  He has held himself to a very high ethical and work-ethics standards, scrupulously focusing on the interests of the real people whilst staying on the Constitutional tracks in line with his oath of office. As a result, it was difficult to derail or defeat him despite uncountable battles in the judiciary and in other political machinations, orchestrated from high quarters.  Edo State is not yet on the mountain top, it still needs concerted push to avoid a free relapse or rollback.  The quality, intensity, ruggedness, doggedness and character of the next Governor is therefore so crucial that those lining up for the job should critically as
