Edo Guber Primary: APC Stays Odd, As 14 Political Parties Adopt Indirect Primary

The All Progressives Congress (APC) remained the odd party in the list of fifteen political parties that have indicated their interest to field candidates for the forthcoming governorship election in Edo State.

Whereas all the other parties opted to use the Indirect mode of primary to select their flagbearer, the governing party opted for direct primary.

And this is inspite of repeated appeals by the Independent National Electoral Commission ( INEC) for political parties to consider the Heath of their members in the context of COVID-19 pandemic.

This was gleaned from timetable of scheduled primaries of the political parties, released on Tuesday by INEC’s Commissioner and chairman Information and voter education, Festus Okoye

The commission which met virtually said it considered several issues including the conduct of political party primaries for the Edo State Govemorship election scheduled for 19 September 2020 as well as an update on the prosecution of electoral offenders.

INEC said it has received notification from 15 out of the 18 registered Political Parties of their intention to conduct primaries “for the purpose of nominating candidates for the Ed( State Govemorship election slated for 19 September 2020”.
Of all the political parties, only APC adopted direct primary.

It warned the parties to adhere strictly to the law and covid policy..

” The Commission appeals to the various Political Parties to conduct their primaries in full compliance with the provisions of the I999 Constitution and Electoral Act 20l0 (as amended). Regulations and Guidelines for the Conduct of Political Party Primaries (2018) and the INEC Policy on Conducting Elections in the Context of COVlD-IQ Pandemic.

“Political Parties must shun all acts capable of breaching the peace and unsettling the peace and order of the State and jeopardizing the health and safety of party members. election officials and observers.

On prosecution of election offenders, INEC said it has received 16 files arising from infractions of the law during the 2019 general election and vowed to vigorously prosecute them.

“The cases are in Abia. Anambra. Bayelsa. Gombe. Kogi. Lagos, and Niger States. ranging from snatching and destruction of election materials. disorderly conduct. unlawful possession of ballot papers and Permanent Voters‘ Cards to canvassing for votes at polling units on election day”.

I reject APC for you EDOlite in advance


Am referring to those that have conscience and a working IQ

the guy above need to be Isolated. unless If you can explain what you mean by edolite should reject APC.
Now sit down let me lecture you.
1. although there are 15 political parties that registered with INEC but I can tell you there are just two parties in edo state APC and others. if not why should pastor leave PDP for APC and obaseki refused to decamp despite the fact that he will not get the ticket.
2. did you know why other parties choose indirect, it is simply because that they have no viable candidate so they will just try and patch people together and push them yet they will loose to APC
3. if you want democracy to work in Nigeria, political parties have to be structured first. I don't like APC at all but I can tell you that they are working on achieving this at present than any political party in Nigeria. oshiomole played obaseki so that he can fight the party and it's simple the party is fighting back. so sir don't because of pity for obaseki and hatred for oshiomole not say the truth.
4. if Godwin obaseki has done very well as a governor and he deserve another tenure there is nothing to be afraid of now. akeredolu of ondo state lists 50 achievement in 4 years and he said he is not afraid of direct or indirect primary,. why is obaseki afraid.
5. I would love another person aside pastor and obaseki to be the next governor as you can see the two of them remain the top most choice of the state. This shows our porous the leadership growth of the state is.


I arrest my case.

This Edo election will be very hot.

May the best man win.

family disease

Of all the 15 political parties its only APC that is insisting on direct primaries in this Covid 19 period.

Executive order my foot. It is now obvious that Obaseki has been served more than he can finish.

By the evening of 22nd day of June 2020, Obaseki will realize when Edo can sometimes look like Lagos.

If you are in doubt, ask Ambode.

Apart from pdp, all other parties won't have up to 100 delegates. That makes sense than having 3000 plus in a single venue traveling long distances. Which one do you think is safer? 300 plus in different wards or 3000 in a single venue? Be truthful?

With PDP concluding theirs on the 20th, this will be Do Or Die for Obaseki.

Where are those claiming that Edo APC will organize Indirect Primary.... 2 weeks and some days Obaseki should start campaigning...

Contrary to popular beliefs,
Direct primary is even more favourable at this covid 19 times.

For Direct primary people just gather at their wards and vote for their flag nearer. And it's done!


But for Indirect primary, people firstly gather at the wards to vote delegates. These delegates in their thousands then gather at the stadium to vote the flag bearer.


Direct primares is safer and definitely more democratic.

Hmm

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright

It is only APC practicing democracy

Okay

Uhh!

Report - Only APC opt for Direct primaries

Wailers from yeast -

Chain
I'm just confuse, I know Edo people will be as confused as I'm

If obaseki emerges then he will win but if otherwise then the one who emerges wins



Wanna know if there's something called the power of incumbency... Or the canal will decide... Or the people will would be Done

Let's watch out of this

Alright

Meanwhile

500gb external hard drive is available,loaded with plenty of series in high definition, cartoon etc
Location is Port Harcourt, can be sent to any location, check signature.

Hmmm

OK

Obaseki hope say you dey watch the film

All we want is a free and fair election.

....

Obaseki is d man for the position nothing can stop him

Adams Oshiomole eventually had his way. Obaseki was just a noise maker.

We told anybody that one to hear, It is only party chairman that INEC recognizes as the mouth piece of any party, not any yeye Governor or even the President

Even with Indirect Primary, delegates have to be elected at Ward Level
