The Sham Called Elections In Edo State by infoblaster: 3:48pm On Sep 28, 2016
The long awaited and talked about Edo State Gubernatorial elections is about winding up with vote counting presently on in virtually all the polling units. Remember, the elections was initially scheduled to hold on 10th September. 2016, before it was postponed in very strange circumstances to today.

This election is unique from all previously conducted ones, this is the first time elections will be held in the country when voters would be accredited and allowed to vote simultaneously unlike what obtains in the past. The time spent waiting for proper elections to commence after accreditation had been done has been completely eliminated which itself, is good for time management.

A rather disturbing trend reported from virtually most polling units in the state today is the massive and rampant vote buying in today’s elections. Inducement of voters with money is not alien to our electoral process, but what was observed today, is rather very alarming which shows the desperation these our so-called leaders could go all in the name of winning elections.

Today’s elections would most likely go down in the history of the state as one that attracted the most numbers of voter turnouts. A major factor responsible for this turnout is the inducement of voters which was very rampant across the state with security officers turning a blind eyes to the activities of party agent contractors inducing voters with money.

My anger against the good people of Edo state is that which day would they ever come of age and mature enough to stop selling their birth rights during election days for mere pittance? Similar act happened last year during the general elections where it was reported in some polling units that voters went home richer with between N4, 000 and N7, 000 as proceeds of their vote sales. History is presently repeating itself now with the sham currently going on in this gubernatorial elections.

Edo state is in dire need of basic infrastructural developments such as good roads, schools, health care centers and other basic necessities of life which today is a luxury. How do you think someone that bought his way into power would attend to such needs. This is the time for Edo state to wise up!

Who is winning..and who is losing?
Re: The Sham Called Elections In Edo State by Nobody: 4:16pm On Sep 28, 2016
both PDP and APC shared money. APC shared more.

Myopic people are voting PDP because of National hardship as if it is d state government dat decide dollar rate. APC lost some vote due to Buhari and not Oshiomole performance.

APC needed to share much money to prevent Anti Buhari forces from costing them the election.

Obaseki of APC will make a better governor.

However, at this very moment nobody can tell who will win.

Abegi. Whether you collect money or not, who ever that wins will still work and loot. Those that we voted free of charge last year what have we gain from them accept long convoy with tinted glass. Point of correction, its not inducement rather hardship or recession gift. We won't see them again till 2019 election.

Since the indigenes are not making noise about a clear case of malpractices, let sleeping dogs lie. The elected governor has a big task to do better than Gov Adams
