As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.”As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind.

Felix Osemwengie Isere in Hot Water: How Edo Government’s Oil and Gas Summit Was Allegedly Used as a Fraud Vehicle
Jonathan Osemudiamen
The Edo State Government has suspended Barrister Felix Osemwengie Isere, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Oil and Gas, over his alleged involvement in a fraudulent fundraising scheme disguised under the banner of the state-sponsored Oil and Gas Summit scheduled for August 7, 2025. The suspension, confirmed in an official announcement signed by Umar Musa Ikhilor, Secretary to the State Government, has rocked political circles and sent shockwaves across Edo’s oil and gas sector.
According to the public notice issued on July 28, 2025, Mr. Isere was suspended for "unauthorized fundraising using the name of Edo State Government" in relation to the upcoming summit. What the public announcement did not include—but has since been uncovered through multiple reliable sources—is the shocking extent of the financial impropriety involved.
At the heart of the scandal is the revelation that Felix Isere used the bank account of his private company to solicit and receive sponsorship funds from stakeholders in the oil and gas sector. These funds were allegedly positioned as donations towards the now-suspended Edo Oil and Gas Summit — an event that had been widely publicized as government-endorsed.
Investigations reveal that over ₦50 million was funneled into his personal company account from a major oil and gas company whose name has not yet been disclosed. Sources claim that several other private operators also donated substantial amounts, believing their contributions were going directly to support the state government’s summit and energy agenda. However, none of the funds appear to have gone through official government channels or state-sanctioned accounts.
Critics argue that Isere’s actions go beyond mere misjudgment and represent a deliberate act of fraud. “This is not just unethical; it’s criminal,” one official familiar with the case remarked. “You don’t use your private company to collect donations for a government program unless you’re trying to profit illegally.” The suspended adviser has reportedly been ordered to refund all monies collected, and the summit itself has been suspended indefinitely pending the outcome of further investigations.
Contrary to earlier public perceptions, Felix Isere is not a UK-trained lawyer. He is, in fact, a Nigeria-trained legal practitioner who only recently relocated to the United Kingdom in pursuit of greener pastures. Facing tough economic realities abroad and struggling to secure stable work, Isere returned to Nigeria and began lobbying intensely for a political appointment in Edo State. Governor Monday Okpebholo, moved by his situation and seeing potential in his legal background, appointed him as Special Adviser on Oil and Gas — a portfolio meant to attract investments and deepen sector reforms. Just months later, that empathy appears to have been misused.
This is not the first time Felix Isere’s name is being linked to controversial practices. Popular social media commentator and investigative presenter, CT Naija’s Albert Obazee, had earlier accused Isere of fraud involving the UK’s Certificate of Sponsorship (COS) system. Obazee alleged that Felix was charging desperate Nigerians exorbitant fees for fake UK job placements using manipulated COS documents — a practice that has led to financial ruin and shattered dreams for many victims.
At the time, supporters of Isere dismissed Obazee's claims as envy, especially after images surfaced of Felix flaunting a newly built mansion in Benin City, despite only returning from the UK a few months earlier. Today, however, these earlier warnings appear prophetic.
In a rare but commendable move, the Edo State Government has acted swiftly, suspending Isere from office and disassociating the administration from any dealings with him. The public has also been advised not to engage with him on any government-related matters, especially in relation to oil and gas business in the state. Governor Okpebholo, who has prided himself on transparency and accountability, is said to be deeply disappointed by the incident. “This is a slap in the face of a government that gave him a chance,” a source within the Governor’s Office lamented.
Pressure is now mounting on anti-graft agencies, including the EFCC and ICPC, to investigate the matter thoroughly and prosecute if necessary. Civil society groups have called for a full audit of all financial activities related to the Oil and Gas Summit and any prior dealings by Felix Isere under the Office of the Special Adviser.
Meanwhile, Edo citizens, already weary of corrupt officials, are watching with skepticism, hoping this will not be another case of political cover-up and immunity.
Felix Osemwengie Isere remains innocent until proven guilty, but the signs are grim. From allegations of immigration fraud abroad to financial misconduct at home, his fall from grace may not only mark the end of his political ambitions but also serve as a cautionary tale for those who seek public office for personal enrichment. The question on everyone’s lips now is: How many other “Felixes” are still in government?
