Former lawmaker and a member representing Oredo constituency in the
lower chamber of the National Assembly, Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon, has
been appointed by Edo State governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as Chief
of Staff.
His appointment was announced on Wednesday evening and he will be
officially sworn in by 10am on Thursday morning at the Edo State
government house.
The Law Graduate of University of Benin is as self-styled verbal contortionist who enjoys a cult following.
Ask Obahiagbon about himself and he would simply tell you: “I want to
give you homo sapiens a infinitesimal sample of how the ingredients
compose to form me. Anyone care to know? Most yes and a few imbeciles
who lack compassion and common sense to get inspired.
“Since it’s most yes, I’ll navigate you through my journey. I grew up
in Benin, but was born and had my elementary education in Sapele. When
my father went for further studies in England, we had to relocate to
Benin and that got me into Edo College and St. John Bosco Government
School, Ubiaja. I proceeded to read law at the University of Benin.
After my youth service, I contested an election to represent my ward
as a councilor in Oredo Local Government Area in 1990. After, I went to
England in search of greener pastures, but I could not take it for more
than 18 months.
“This was because I had a passion for the political developments
going on in Nigeria. I died silently in London, but returned to Nigeria ,
where I joined again in the political development. Six months after my
arrival, there was a local government election and I contested for the
chairmanship position Long story short, after a few losses.
I won an
election to the Edo State House of Assembly, where I spent eight years
on the platform of my people and it was time to move to a latitudinarian
pedestal to discharge service to Nigerians and I presented myself
before my party in a hotly, fiercely, but democratically contested
primary and it pleased the cosmic masters and my constituents to give me
the mandate to fly the party flag and I won. That began my journey to
the House of Representatives.”
