The APC gubernatorial candidate for the September 10 Edo elections addressed a mammoth crowd of Edo people in diaspora in Atlanta and gave them hope for a better future for Edo state in a well structured and coordinated economy under his leadership come November 2016.

Mr Obaseki spoke on wide variety of issues especially with particular repsect to land reforms, taxation, role of diaspora remittance in economic development, agricultural development, educational curriculum, relationship between skills, technology and education and poverty reduction.

He further promised to make security of lives and property as a major plank of his government when voted into power. He particularly spoke on the advantageous position of Edo state as an economic hub in Nigeria. He identified the fact that outside of oil, Edo state is one of the few states that can survive on its own and this feat was achieved under Governor Oshiomhole and reiterated his determination to build on such progress.

On the issue of land reforms, Mr Obaseki lauded Edo diaspora for contributing to the beautification of the state through modern housing development etc, he however said that government will continue to modernize land acquisition in the state to ensure that touts and communities do not take advantage of lack of government well planned layout to extort investors and genuine diaspora Edo people.

A date that coincided with his birthday, was marked with a surprise birthday cake, the mark had all Edo people in attendance irrespective of political affiliation. The APC chairman in America praised Edo APC for organizing very transparent primaries that produced Mr Obaseki.

The APC candidate promised to run an issued based campaign and will run away from personal insults on his opponents stating that there are so many issues confronting the people of Edo state to the extent that there will be no time for distraction.

He promised to work with stakeholders in Edo state to have a look at the educational curriculum to reflect more of technology, industrialization and demand side of the economy. According to Mr Obaseki, technical education will be given a serious priority to ensure that we take advantage of the industries that will be established by private sectors investors. Edo state has abundant human resources that require training and re-training to be employable under the expected industrial revolution and commercial upsurge in the next few years.

This man knows what he's doing. I particularly approve of his campaign strategy. He's trying to shift the attention of Nigerians in the diaspora to the Edo elections. These are people who send money to their families in the villages. Their families in the villages would trust their judgement. Especially that massive grassroot campaign has not started. Even Iyamu is yet to constitute his campaign team.
Obaseki is quite coordinated for now. His pace is tactical and intellectual. He's trying to give the impression that he's a technocrat.
With this kind of strategy and with Osho-baba's ibile swags. PDP should prepare to have a run for their money.

I have never seen an American Governorship Candidate coming to campaign in Nigeria. Some Nigerians are foolish sha. smh

THIS IS THE MAKING OF THE PRODIGAL SON.

This poser will not be able to stand the wind of PDP's brand of change that's gonna blow through Edo come August!

People of Edo do you want a repeat of "Go and Die" governance? Yes A REPEAT! Afterall, Obaseki is ASShomohle's confederate!

Vote Visely! VOTE PASTOR IZE-IYAMU!!!

Lol obaseki Missed this one if you want to campaign to edo in diaspora go to Italy or spain not u.s

Sir, I advise you focus your attention on market women, visit villages, Organize town hall meetings.... These are the people that stand under the sun or rain to vote!

Who is your campaign manager sef?

I still maintain that he was booed. Is that a hall or someone's parlour?.

Branzy:

Gbam. He just went to launder money for Oshimole

I'm waiting with keen interest when Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton will take their campaign to the street of Lagos and it's metropolis.

lets analyse your post.
1. You claimed that he ''addressed a mammoth crowd''. Please where is the mammoth crowd in the pix? Abi the crowd dey invicible?

2. Also, you said He promised plans for a ''better future'' in Edo. Its means the status quo is not acceptable. He is right, Edo voters will change that.

3. The date coincided with his birthday? Just tell us say the guy go do party for there sponsore by his godfather with tax payer's money. Edo can not afford to vote a party freak as governor in this trying times when APC led govt has improvished the poor masses.

4. ......''The Apc chairman in America''. I laugh in hausa language. The APC chairman no get name or is he ashamed to be identified with Obaseki?

5. He met with Edo people in New York? Like seriously? No New York photos to back it up? Are APC members in New York ashamed of their govt?

APC and propanganda be like 5 and 6. The sauce dey tasteless sef..

obaseke......kini?.....GO n DIE jor

Edo people

Same way Osinbajo was giving lectures n we r counting two years but no political/economic direction. And why wld u campaign to a minority in diaspora n live majority of ur voters dat reside in Edo state. Does dis mean ApC no longer have d moral right to address the grassroot voters. Seems the 'scammer' tag rili stuck wit Apc n it's giving dem bad market. Buhari sef

See this mumu, is it the people abroad that will thumb print in Nigeria? When he enter finish, he will be using people's salary to fill his pocket from all the campaigning.

Well campaign has started gradually and each party will be coming up with different strategies so as to carry the day.
I pray the better side wins

U don't know when Edo joined the United States of America! !

If anyone ever comes up with a bigger collection of absolute nonsense than the above, they might as well apply for a place in the Guiness Book of Records.

When is he going to Italy?!

Too much money... . . . . . . . . T O . . . Waste! . .

My brother every body is suffering under every government...
Nothing is sure, he just has to convince them somehow to win this election.
