SHOCKING: Edo Deserves Better: Obaseki Squanders N1.1 Billion on Furniture as Flooding and Erosion Worsen. Elect Senator Monday Okpebholo for Responsible Governance

SHOCKING: Edo Deserves Better: Obaseki Squanders N1.1 Billion on Furniture as Flooding and Erosion Worsen. Elect Senator Monday Okpebholo for Responsible Governance



In a shocking revelation by shahara reporters, it has come to light that Governor Godwin Obaseki's administration spent a staggering N1.1 billion on furniture and fittings in just the first quarter of 2024. This expenditure is part of a larger budget allocation of N2.2 billion for chairs in the 2024 fiscal year, a clear misallocation of resources given the state's pressing needs.


During this same period, only N5 million was allocated to the Ministry of Environment and Sustainability, and nothing was spent on the Ministry of Water Resources' capital expenditure, which had an initial budget of N1.03 billion. Most alarmingly, the state's erosion, flood, and watershed management agency received no funding, leaving critical infrastructure projects unattended and residents vulnerable to environmental disasters.


Furthermore, the state spent N203 million on refreshments and meals in the first quarter, part of a total N739 million earmarked for the entire year. This raises serious questions about the priorities and governance of the current administration.



As Edo State faces these critical issues, the need for a leader who prioritizes the welfare of the people and responsible management of resources becomes paramount. Senator Monday Okpebholo, the APC gubernatorial candidate, represents a much-needed change. With a track record of integrity and dedication to public service, Senator Okpebholo is committed to addressing the real needs of Edo State, including effective environmental management and sustainable development.


It's time for Edo State to choose a leader who will put the people's needs first. Vote for Senator Monday Okpebholo and bring about the change Edo State deserves.

In a video that has rapidly gained traction online, Prophet Fufeyin Jeremiah has delivered a powerful response to his critics, notably Abel Damina, VDM, and Tundeednut. The video, which has sparked widespread discussion, showcases Prophet Fufeyin's thoughtful rebuttal and defense of his ministry, addressing the criticisms head-on and educating his detractors on the principles of faith and spirituality.

The Controversy

Abel Damina, a well-known preacher, alongside social media personalities VDM and Tundeednut, has been vocal in their critique of various religious practices and figures, including Prophet Fufeyin.

Prophet Fufeyin Jeremiah’s response is both measured and insightful, aiming to clarify misconceptions and provide a deeper understanding of his ministry’s practices. In the video, he addresses several key points:

The Role of Prophetic Materials: Fufeyin explains the significance of prophetic materials in previous videos like anointed handkerchiefs and oils, which have been criticized by Damina and others. He highlights their biblical foundations, citing examples where physical items were used as conduits for divine power and miracles. Fufeyin emphasizes that these materials are not magical objects but symbols of faith that God can use to manifest His power.

Miracles and Modern Faith: The Prophet passionately defends the occurrence of modern-day miracles, stating that the power of the Holy Spirit is as active today as it was in biblical times. He challenges the notion that miracles should be relegated to history, arguing that limiting God’s power undermines the very foundation of faith.

Spiritual Leadership and Integrity: Fufeyin also addresses personal attacks on his integrity and leadership. He underscores his commitment to living a life of integrity, transparency, and service, pointing to the tangible impact of his ministry on the lives of many. He calls for unity among Christian leaders, stressing the importance of building up the faith community rather than sowing discord.

The Public Reaction: 

The video has garnered significant attention across social media platforms, with many viewers praising Prophet Fufeyin’s composure and the depth of his explanations. Supporters of Fufeyin have expressed their appreciation for his willingness to engage with his critics and provide clarity on contentious issues.

BREAKING: Oshiomole Defends Okpebholo: "He’s the People’s Choice, Deal With It!!" PDP

BREAKING: Oshiomole Defends Okpebholo: "He’s the People’s Choice, Deal With It!!" PDP




In a robust defende of Senator Monday Okpebholo, former Edo State Governor and APC stalwart, Adams Oshiomole, has issued a stark rebuttal to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). Amid growing criticism and political tension, Oshiomole emphatically declared, “Monday Okpebholo is the man the people want, so deal with it.”

The statement comes in response to the PDP’s ongoing objections to Okpebholo's candidacy, questioning his suitability and the legitimacy of his support. Oshiomole, known for his direct and unapologetic style, did not mince words in his endorsement of Okpebholo.

*Watch Video:*

“Monday Okpebholo has consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to the people he represents. His record speaks volumes, and the overwhelming support he has garnered is a testament to his effectiveness and dedication. The people have spoken, and it’s clear they stand with Okpebholo,” Oshiomole stated.

He went on to challenge the PDP’s narrative, asserting that their criticisms are unfounded and merely a reflection of their political frustration and jealousy. “The PDP needs to come to terms with the reality that Monday Okpebholo is the chosen representative of the people. Rather than resorting to baseless accusations and attempts to undermine his credibility, even threatening his life and security, they should respect the democratic process and the will of the electorate,” he added.





Senator Okpebholo, who has been a vocal advocate for various social and infrastructural projects in his constituency, expressed gratitude for Oshiomole's support. “I am honored to have the endorsement of a leader like Adams Oshiomole and now the deputy governor if edo state Phillip Shaibu. My commitment to the people remains unwavering, and I will continue to work tirelessly to fulfill their trust and expectations,” Okpebholo remarked.

The political landscape in Edo State has been highly charged, with both the APC and PDP vying for dominance. Okpebholo’s candidacy has been a focal point of contention, highlighting the broader struggle for political influence in the state.

Oshiomole’s defense of Okpebholo underscores the APC’s confidence in his leadership and their belief in his ability to deliver on his promises. It also serves as a call to action for Okpebholo’s supporters to rally behind him in the face of opposition.

As the political discourse continues to evolve, one thing remains clear: Monday Okpebholo has emerged as a significant figure in Edo State’s political arena, with a strong backing from influential leaders and a solid base of popular support. Whether the PDP can effectively counter this momentum remains to be seen, but for now, Oshiomole’s message is unequivocal: “Deal with it.”
