FOR those who have keenly followed the performance” of the Oshiomhole administration, one conclusion is inevitable: that it is a continuation of the Igbinedion years.

IT is now apparent that Governor Adams Oshiomhole’s achievements are not worth much in the burgeoning politicking that presages the July 14 governorship election in Edo State. Otherwise, he would not be running helter-skelter shopping for and procuring black market endorsements with public funds at the detriment of our collective patrimony.

A suspicious car accident involving a governor’s convoy and the murder of one of his top aides leads to accusations against an elderly political “godfather”.

MANY years ago, our primary-six teacher caused a paroxysm of laughter in class when he taught us the history of the slave trade. What actually caused the laughter was that the teacher told us that in exchange for human beings, the European traders offered our forebears mirrors. In our young minds, we felt that our fore fathers were the original “mumus”. What a terrible bargain they made, we said to ourselves.

THE pity haunting the Goodluck Jonathan administration is the inability of the man to initiate policy without any public outcry.
