The Standard Flag-bearer of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and who is also the Incumbent Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has been the talk of the town, owing to the forthcoming election which holds in the state in less than seven (7) days to this day. As many, including me will be lead to believe that Obaseki is the man for the people, and which is definitely true judging by the enthusiasm of his supporters and the jubilations that edifies his campaign rallies. It is still pertinent though, to notice this mistake which Obaseki made, or has continued to make as the election day draws nearer. But candidly, Obaseki could actually be a pawn in his own game, being shoveled over the board by his political party, which might be behind the violence in the state so far, but either ways, this will not be of any help to both himself (If he were the Instigator) and his political party (If he is not the Instigator), because it will only succeed in driving people away from him and his political agenda on the long run.A similar senario played out in Osun state during governorship election in 2010, between PDP and the All Progressive Congress, which was then called Action Congress Of Nigeria (ACN).However, because of the violent posture displayed by Oyinlola, the Osun people turned against him, patiently waited until the day of election, before they laid bare their anger and showered their votes on the opposition, making PDP roundly and squarely defeated.Now, Governor Obaseki should learn from this and should avoid the mistake that ruined years of hard work for the Osun state incumbent governor in the 2010 elections, 10 years ago.
