Today, I write with great hope on the future of Edo State based solely on the election of Professor Oserheimen Aigberadion Osunbor as the primary PDP candidate.  Noted as a humble, intellectually polished man who earned a first class in Law from Nsukka and holds a Ph.D in Law, Osunbor may very well be the leader needed in Edo State...

To be a nuclear power, all you need is the audacity. Then fortify such audacity with a few chess moves. And you are in. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has audacity perhaps. But he has no underwriter friends.
