There is wild jubilation in Edo state on Monday over reports that Comrade Phillip Shaibu, the deputy governor of the state has concluded plans to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
It was gathered that Shaibu’s grouse centred on the refusal of the State Governor, Godwin Obaseki to appoint a cabinet one year after his election into office for a second term.
A close confidant of the deputy governor who spoke on the development on condition of anonymity said Shaibu has been appealing to the Governor to appoint those who laboured for their victory in the last governorship election, but Obaseki won’t budge.
He said “Yes, that is the true position of things now. He is leaving the PDP. Many people in Edo state are not happy that there is no cabinet in place one year after the governor was sworn-in for second term. For one year, those who voted and suffered to give the governor victory are not yet appointed”.
“The deputy governor is not fighting for himself; he is fighting for the masses. He is addressed as a ‘comrade’ because that is what his life is all about; fighting for the masses and demanding justice for the oppressed in the society. He has been prevailing on the governor to appoint people who worked for him but he (Obaseki) has refused to listen”.
“Many people spent money, risked their lives while some sold their properties to mobilise for the governor’s victory in the last election, yet they are now left in the lurch after the governor secured victory”. is the justification for Obaseki not forming his cabinet? Many people in Edo believe it is wickedness, especially when you consider the fact that 14 assembly members are yet to be inaugurated since 2019”.
“There is wild jubilation in Edo now over the reports that the deputy governor wants to leave. Many people believe the governor is acting like a dictator. People are saying it is good that the deputy governor should separate himself so that people will not use what is happening now to condemn his political future that it is him and the governor who connived to deny people of appointments”.

How much more can a woman be blessed? Though we will agree that God has blessed all its creatures with special gifts, we cannot but accept the obvious truth that some persons are highly favoured. This is more like a law of nature. Well, your pick of whom God has blessed enormously might differ from mine. Nevertheless, “Hajiya Dada” would always stand as one Noble woman that God has favoured.
Who’s Hajiya Dada?
Hajiya Dada is a strong and brave woman from Katsina whose womb has produced prominent and dignified personality in Nigeria’s political landscape. Right from her husband, most men and women that came from her pedigree were all influential people in the society. Mama gave birth to a one time president, governor, minister and first ladies.
Hajiya Dada’s Pedigree
Late Alhaji Musa Yaradua was her husband, Daddy was the former Minister of Lagos Affair where he submissively served his country in love.
Hajiya gave birth to Late President Umaru Musa Yaradua who’s praised as one of the best president Nigeria ever produced. Just two years of exemplary leadership earned Yaradua praises among Nigerians, even up till today. His sudden death remains forever a huge and disastrous death to the country. May his soul rest in peace! Umaru Musa Yaradua
Also mama gave birth to Late General Shehu Musa who was the vice president to Obasanjo military led junta. The duo served meritoriously ushering Nigeria into a democratic government.
General Shehu Musa Yaradua
Likewise, Colonel Abdul’aziz Yaradua contested for Katsina gubenatorial election twice under CPC and APC in 2011, 2015.
One of Mama Grandson was Murtala Shehu Yaradua was a former Nigeria minister (Minister of Defence State).
Hajiya didn’t just produce Noble men, three of her granddaughters were former first ladies of different states. Maryam, Zainab and Nafisa were married to former governors of Katsina, Kebbi and Bauchi respectively.
Mothers are golden but Hajiya Dada was pure Gold from heaven. We pray God bless us just as He blessed Mama
No doubt the death of Captain Hosa Wells Okunbo which many are yet to come to terms with on account of what he represented in the lives of his family, friends and associates is likely to throw up some dilemmas on how to manage his monstrous assets as well as some changes that are likely to shock a few and not go down well with others.
One of such changes which has already been decided on, barely two weeks after his death, is the sale of his Abuja based luxury hotel, The Wells Carlton Hotel and Apartments.
ENLIGHTENMENT gathered from reliable sources that at a meeting which had in attendance Okunbo’s family members including his US based wife, Nosa whom he parted ways with in controversial circumstances and reconciled with before his passing, the family resolved to put the hotel up for sale. What must have promoted this decision is yet unknown even as what the family plans to do with the proceeds from the sale of the hotel remains a mystery. No doubt, decisions are being reached on what to do with his remaining assets even as the family bicker over them.
The Wells Carlton Hotel and Apartments was commissioned in December 2018 after nine years of painstaking investment of time, energy and resources. A multi-billion-naira luxury investment, it is located in the highbrow area of Asokoro, Abuja. It is a sprawling 55 room facility with avant-garde bars and four world-class restaurants, state of the art gym, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a Japanese/Indonesian spa etc.
The Edo-born businessman died at the age of 63 in a London hospital after a one-year battle with pancreatic cancer. His health had reportedly improved and he planned to return to the country just in time for his son in-law, Tsola Emiko’s coronation as the new Olu of Warri on Saturday August 21.
