For those of you wondering why the state elections of a tiny state like Edo is causing so much commotion in the country, I wrote a piece yesterday to explain why it is so. Please see below. I believe this will explain better. Cheers Politics is a game of numbers and every state matters to any political party. For the ruling APC, the more states they have to govern, the more power they enjoy. Before Obaseki resigned from the APC in June this year, they were controlling 21 states while the opposition PDP had 15 states. With Obaseki now being a PDP member the PDP party now controls 16 states at least till September 19. Another major reason is that Edo state was the only South-South state that APC won after the 2019 governorship elections in Nigeria. The APC party strongly believes that as long as they hold Edo state they can penetrate and get the other south-south states. Since 2016 APC, apart from Edo state has not been able to get any other south-south state and in order to show that they are a national party with spread across all the geographical zones they have to ensure they win Edo state by all means, to help them enter the other oil rich states. If APC fails to win the Edo state governorship election on September 19 that will mean the party has no single power and influence in the oil rich Niger Delta region. Another reason why this is seen as a do or die is the power struggle between the former APC national chairman Adams Oshiomole and the Governor Godwin Obaseki. For Oshiomole winning the governorship election for APC will be a big statement for him and it will enable him stamp his authority back as already people are blaming him for the state about to fall into the hands of the PDP party. Also the governor decamping to a rival party has many people angry as they feel the governor has carried the mandate to another party and they will want it back. The political turmoil in Edo state is even affecting the National APC body as well. And in my own personal opinion I see this coming Edo state election as a possible look into how the year 2023 national presidential and legislative elections will be. Both parties are using this Edo state election as a litmus test. That's why they are taking it as a do or die affair. I took particular interest in this election because it is my home state (though I have been away for so many years) and it saddens me to see the anarchy going on. 1 Like |

truthstands01:come September 19, you will repeat this same epistle of rigging in broad day light, the use of armed personnel, etc on the Edo elections. I have seen people say they would vote for party A and they later vote for party B. |

odiks: Your photos remind one of when ex president Jonathan visited Obas of Yoruba land to beg for re-election in 2015. The Obas placed their staffs of office above Jonathan. Many people from the SW interpreted the Obas’ staff above Jonathan as symbol of Yoruba rejection of Jonathan. They ridiculed Jonathan kneeling down below the Obas. Today, what do we have? A general wish that Jonathan should have continued as president. |

Where is Buhari and osinbajo? If APC is really popular, let them allow for free and fair voting/result. But already they are using federal might to destabilize the state. |

Breaking kola nuts and gin doesn't guarantee success if not we would have been having double leaders in one position, The Ultimate blessings comes from God. The fact that the Oba uses kola nut does not guarantee APC will win. Upon all the kola nut breaking has Africa progressed more than the white who do not break kola like we Africans do?. Secondly for those persons shouting Esau and Jacob, let me remind you that the First person to present himself before their father, who looked like a weakling the person of Jacob later named Israel got the blessing, while the later who looked strong, hairy, believed he has federal backing lost the blessing the person of Esau. The Bible went further to state that the father showed his love to Esau more than Jacob. In this little story from the bible we could draw it out that Obaseki is the Jacob later named Israel, while Ize-Iyamu who looked hairy because of Federal might is Esau. The (Oba) who represents the father who according to this report from this ghost Journalist seems to show Love for Esau (Ize-Iyamu) couldn't do anything, why? because God already revealed to their mother (Edo people and other true prophets) that Jacob(Obaseki) is the chosen one 1 Like |
