Oshiomhole, Learn Some Moderation!
By Olawale Olaleye
If there’s anyone who crosses all lines and limits of decency in the name of politics and campaigns, then former governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, has no sparring partner.
He’d not only throw caution to the wind, but he would also descend fully into the gutters for a satisfying pig bout.
If the Edo State First Lady, Betsy Obaseki, had actually said the APC candidate, Monday Okpebholo, did not have a wife in argument for family values in leadership, which I personally don’t think is a big deal, must he call the woman CHILDLESS as a response?
Betsy wasn’t speaking to him but Okpebholo. Why didn’t he allow Okpebholo to speak for himself? Or, is the communication skill of the APC candidate truly that poor that he couldn’t address that matter by himself, if he felt concerned or strongly about it?
But, for a former NLC president, erstwhile governor for eight years and currently a senator, it is curious how an uncouth fellow like Oshiomhole got to such height in leadership. That calls for yet another study in Nigeria’s murky politics.
Who mocks others for being childless? No matter how you try to couch it, it is clearly out of line and very un-African. Age is sometimes a disservice.
That’s distasteful, senator!
