Godwin Obaseki, APC governorship candidate for Edo State

Chief Lucky Imasuen, a former Deputy Gov.in Edo, on Thursday, described Mr Godwin Obaseki, a governorship candidate in Edo, as an economy driver the state needed now.

Imasuen made the observation during the endorsement of Obaseki by the state chapter of Pool Promoters and Agents in Benin.

He said what the state needed at this point of economy difficulties were persons like Obaseki because of his wealth of experience as an investment expert and chairman of the state economic team.

He said having been part of Oshiomhole’s government in this last seven years, Obaseki already knew what needed to be done to take the state to the next level.

Imasuen said that Oshiomhole had provided the basis for the growth of the state and what was left now was for Obaseki, who had been part of the government, to continue on the foundation that had been laid.

He expressed confidence that Obaseki would become the next governor of the state.

“Edo is a sailing ship and the ship has been sailing well.

“The ship must not be disturbed or changed. It is only Obaseki that can repair the economy of the State.

“Edo needs a governor who is an economic expert, particularly now that the Nigeria economy is going through trials.

“Obaseki is a driver who has driven well and has served the state with all sincerity of purpose.

“As good spirited citizens of Edo, we need continuity of a government with the track record of performance.”

The governorship candidate, who was represented by Mr John Osakue, the Deputy General of his campaign organisation, commended pool promoters and agents for the bold step of endorsing Obaseki.

He said Oshiomhole had laid the needed foundation for the development of the state and that the call for continuity was to sustain the tempo of development.

Osakue assured that the issue of double taxation and illegal collection would become a thing of the past when Obaseki emerged as governor.

Houthis Claim Attack on Central Israel in Response to Gaza ‘Massacres’

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has taken a concerning regional turn as the Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for an attack on central Israel. The group announced this as part of their escalating response to what they describe as "massacres" in Gaza amid the Israeli military’s operations in the strip. Details of the Attack The Houthis, a Shiite militant group with ties to Iran, declared that they launched missile and drone strikes targeting Israel. While the exact impact of these attacks remains unclear, reports suggest that Israel’s defense systems intercepted several threats over its airspace. This marks a significant escalation as the Houthis widen their involvement in the conflict beyond their typical operations within Yemen and neighboring Saudi Arabia. The Houthis’ Justification In their statement, the Houthis framed the attack as retaliation for Israel’s military actions in Gaza, which they characterized as indiscriminate bombings resultin...

Fall of Assad is a Blow to Russia's Prestige

The potential fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a long-standing ally of Russia, would mark a turning point in Moscow’s global influence, particularly in the Middle East. Steve Rosenberg’s analysis underscores the profound implications for Russia, which has invested heavily—both militarily and politically—in ensuring Assad’s survival over the past decade. This article delves into why Assad’s downfall would strike at the core of Russian prestige and what it could mean for the broader geopolitical landscape. Russia's Strategic Commitment to Syria Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Russia has been a staunch supporter of Assad's regime. In 2015, Moscow launched a military intervention that proved decisive in stabilizing Assad’s hold on power. This intervention solidified Russia's role as a key power broker in the Middle East and demonstrated its willingness to project military power far beyond its borders. Syria is not just an ally for Russia; it is a...
