APC strongman in Edo State, Charles Idahosa who was the political Adviser to ex-Governor Adams Oshiomhole for eight years has bared his mind on his fight with Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State…
“It is not all the time that we do what is convenient to us. Most of the time, we should follow our hearts and do what is right no matter how inconvenient. Consequently, given the present state of affairs, I have decided to suspend active political partisan participation in the state. I believe the period will afford me the opportunity to seek an enlightened perspective of the issues, consult widely for clarifications where need be and take more informed position on the politics of Edo state.”
“For every decision, there are consequences and possibilities. Yet, when a dog begins to bark at its owner, the dog owner should strut around in caution. That is the sobering epiphany of the present time. However, the great relief and comfort that I find in this decision rest in the fact that human beings may betray you but your heart cannot betray you” he declared.”
“I am a proud and happy man with independent mind of my own. Resistance against curtailments of rights and oppressive tendencies is my second nature. God forbid that I should keep quiet in the face of a charade and injustice perpetuated with savage impunity. I am a prisoner of conscience and feel tormented by the smokescreens!”
“I respect the right of everyone to be entitled to their own opinion but no one has a right to his own facts. A fact stands out for all rational men to readily acknowledge! The facts that informed the actions of our great party in Edo state in recent times are strange to me. I have struggled to come to terms with those facts and the consequential actions of the party but it has remained more perplexing by the day.”
