—–What Election Fraud Has Joined Together, No Integrity Can Put Asunder
—–How Prof. Osariemen Osunbor’s Mandate Was Robbed in 2008 by Oshiomhole & Pastor Ize-Iyamu.
Oshiomhole & Ize-Iyamu: When H.E Philip Shaibu, our deputy governor stated on AIT that Oga Oshiomhole must have had the result of the primary ready before the exercise, many of his audience didn’t appreciate what the gentleman was hitting at. My harmless rabbit had to fire a concurrent shot to illustrate, in details, how Oshiomhole’s idea of Direct Primary works.
The details of the electoral malfeasance which took place in the Ogun direct primary was unveiled. Even though our next revelation is supposed to be that of Imo and Zamfara state, my harmless rabbit has decided to trace and establish the history of election conspiracy relationship between Oshiomhole and Ize-Iyamu. This will give some insight why a regroup of these two professional election fraudsters constitutes the most lethal poison against the integrity of any electoral process.
This should worry every true Edo person, it should be a source of concern to all Nigerians, and it should arouse the interest of all lovers of democracy across the world. This is especially so, as this electoral fraud innovation, which was invented in Edo state by these two merchants of rigging, seems to have been exported to our national consciousness, and is being carefully rehearsed for massive deployment in the 2023 general elections.
HOW PROF OSUNBOR WAS ROBBED
It all started after the swearing-in of Professor Osunbor on May 29, 2007. Against Oshiomhole’s wish, Ize-Iyamu insisted that comrade should approach the tribunal to reclaim his stolen mandate.
The case was filed at the election tribunal Holden in Benin. The case dragged on till 2008 until the judges agreed that the ballot papers that were used for the election be recounted in the courtroom. This was the first of it kind in the history of elections cases. Unknown to all the stakeholders in the case, Oshiomhole and Ize-Iyamu had hatched a sinister plot, a kind of plot within plot. Immediately, Lagos was contacted and the sum of N400m was shipped into Edo state for the ‘financing of the plot’.
Pastor immediately contacted some students of the Delta state university, Abraka. One of the students, who participated in the heist, who was shortchanged of the promised payment, narrated the entire scheme to me about 6 years ago when we met in Dubai. He told me that every midnight, pastor Ize-Iyamu will arrange to smuggle them into the INEC office in Aduwawa, Benin. What they did all through each night is to sort out all the ballots papers whose votes were in favour of Prof. Osunbor, the PDP candidate, and double thumbprint them in order to invalidate them.
The young man could not hold his tears when he narrated this satanic act against the prof to me. He said Osunbor clearly won that election but he was robbed of it by the duo of Oshiomhole and Ize-Iyamu. The guy took time to take me through a lot of heartbreaking details, some of which are beyond the scope of this bullet.
However, this is another testimony to what the deputy governor alluded to in that AIT interview anchored by Ijeoma. Only those who do not know Oshiomhole and his antics would accuse the deputy governor of raising a false alarm, some of us who know these things can attest that Philip was 100% right. Perhaps, it is a new variant of electoral fraud Oshiomhole and Ize-Iyamu committed against the Professor and Edo people in 2008, that they are planning to, again, foist on us in 2020. Their starting point is the APC primary!
This is why I shall continue to encourage my harmless rabbit to continue in this sojourn of electoral revelations. It is good for our democracy, it is good for our people. May God bless Edo state.
