Bashir Ahmad, presidential media aide on the new media, reports that Buhari’s aircraft landed at 10:20 am. President Buhari is expected to visit the Crown Prince of Benin Kingdom, Eheneden Erediauwao, before attending the mega rally.

The rally is to hold at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, the Edo state capital.

Nineteen candidates are contesting the September 10, 2016 governorship poll in the state, but from all indications, only five are actively involved in the campaigns. The two key candidates are: Mr Godwin Obaskei from the APC and Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). It is considered that the poll would be won on the basis of performance. Based on this, the APC would depend on what it achieved during its eight-year government in the state, while the PDP would hope on promises. The PDP ruled the state for 10 years before the incumbent Governor Adams Oshiomhole took over the state under the platform of the former Action Congress of Nigeria before taking the state to the APC.

Ok

fine man as always, keep on with your good work

What is Buhari going to tell Edo people


Buhari na Bad market for Obaseki


Even Oshiomole, Obaseki and Edo State APC avoided mentioning or using Buhari 's name to campaign since the Edo State Governoship campaign started in July.

Buhari is not popular among the citizens right now.

He is a bad brand at the moment.

Buhari's coming to Edo State will further reduce the 41,767 total votes that Godwin Obaseki was supposed to get by another 47%.
Buhari is seen as a disastrous failure by Nigerians,how then does he intend to sell his weak brand to an already disenchanted Edo people.
All we'll do is ask the the cost of a bag of rice --Ogbiede Ifaluyi Isibor


Edo APC just squandered the few votes Obaseki will gather. You've been working hard to sell a candidate who's Oshiomhole's cabinet face of abysmality, then you wrap it up with a Buhari. Failure is surely sure.--Akinloye Oyeniyi


Pastor Ize Iyamu all the way

except not the Benin I know. he is not welcome there. only for the minority APC-shi.t zombies.

Buhari is brainless don't he know people of Edo will change their mind against Obaseki because he(buhari) is a badluck.

fine man as always, keep on with your good work

mii, are you serious?

Seeing this man standing there hopelessly campaigning in an innocent state is enough reason for Edo pple to know he is a failure even for the person he's campaigning for; example ..... Nigeria

Mimidiva:
fine man as always, keep on with your good work

Good work

You wan collect beating abi ?

Daura Congo , always on the move! As usual, they're fully prepared for brain-washing. Edo people are in for a treat!

Old man way no get shame

E dey baffle me say Buhari still dey campaign.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
I can't believe Nigeria economy is in recession after 1yr of Apc Govt

I understand you bro... See, recessions generally occur when there is a widespread drop in spending (an adverse demand shock) and net export activities. This may be triggered by various events, such as a financial crisis, an external trade shock, an adverse supply shock or the bursting of an economic bubble. Mainly recessions are caused by two factors, and luckily enough our own case will succeed over time. My case is the number 1 here.. look!

1. If recessions are caused by a tightening of monetary policy (higher interest rates to reduce inflation) then it tends to be easier to get out of a recession, as the interest rate rise can be reversed and this will boost demand.

2.If the recession is more of a balance sheet recession (bad debts, falling asset prices, bank losses) then the recession will tend to last much longer. For example, in 2009, interest rate cuts were insufficient to boost demand.

I am not supporting either side of APC or PDP, I am only being keen at understanding what the country is facing right now and what the future unfolds.. let us be part of the solution rather than been part of the problems.. The youths must think differently...

Next

It's not like Buhari is interested cos he knows there's no hope for Apc in Edo state. But he is there make e no b like say he is not dedicated to the party's course and activities

He is busy campaigning for someone when Nigerians are in misery after campaigning for him, sigh.

Hey! I feel like travelling to my State ones more to caste my vote for Obaseki. Nonetheless, Edo people CANNOT go back to Egypt. There is no doubt that the Pastor man has been wasting his monies for campaigns. Well, if not for anything, for Obaseki to have an opposition.

Ok....this election would have low voters turnout.

Indigenes are not happy and I tell you Saturday would be a litmus test for this May 29, 2015 government.

Voters apathy, low turnout and inconclusiveness would mark the election.

Nonsense

I can bet it with anyone that if buhari is given the mic to talk he will make dumb statements that will further dent apc image .

We all know that obaseki has won.


Sometimes we don't really need to waste our time voting when we already know the outcome.

Hmmm

I wonder what promises he is coming to make in edo state?

Lose election. I hope he don't die of heart attack when the result is released.

I can't believe Nigeria economy is in recession after 1yr of Apc Govt

And the crowd is there to welcome him. Such a nice and hard working President. Nonsense.

Thunder! What are you waiting for?

That Gej is the cause of all the problems we have in the country today. That US has agreed to send back all the looted funds. What else.

if APC wins in Edo, then i give up on Nigeria. Because they will never learn. if the whole country is suffering and they still choose to suffer then of all states they are most STUPID!

Na madness dey worry am
