Fear grip the short man. U can't owe workers for 18 month, didn't employ one single soul into the Civil service for 8 years, multiple taxation, closing down of Edo Line, Building a private university that charges as high as N700,000 with state funds instead of investing in the state owned university "AAU Ekpoma and under ur watch a thug and a cultist "Kabaka" decleared openly he is one billion naira rich just because he is an APC thug and won't expect negative reaction from the disillusioned edolite. Oshomhole will tested our resolve and we are ready for payback. Any we are waiting for APC at the polling booth, Idiot that thinks Everybody can be fooled all the time.

are you all foolish,i repeat politics in nigeria is about money and elections are won a day to that day which is friday and the highest bidder would win...I have been a presiding officer before last year,dont fool yourself that most people vote genuinely(Most online would rather watch at home and upload it,those young people on the street that do nothing or low jobs are the ones that vote and very old men and women and then market women and then the elite who are friends and family of the candidate and those who just want to occupy there mind),Have you ever asked yourself why does corrupt people who did nothing still would win elections over and over again....I repeat the highest bidder would win and in this hard economy that no money.Some will say collect money and vote for your choice but hey what are assistance presiding officer doing,some will be paid on that day just to watch you thumbprint and use eye contact to say if truly its your party the person voted for or not.....i just dey laff...The tricks of election are very easy in nigeria if you play your card very well and smooth.

Not surprised!..Buhari has proven that he's not capable of conducting a credible elections.

The time's now for all Nigerians to speak up, Edo is jst a test of hypothesis once it proven, it will be replicated in 2019 presidential election.

Nigerians have to show them we are not stupid!
So Buhari is now the INEC chairman.

StepTwo:
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) confirmed on Wednesday that it is prepared to conduct the Edo State gubernatorial election slated for Saturday, September 10. The commission’s willingness to go ahead with the poll undermines requests by the police and Department of State Security (DSS) to postpone the election.

The two security agencies had on Wednesday morning threatened that “insurgents” and “extremists” would provoke violence during the election. This was disclosed in a security report issued jointly by the police and DSS. INEC officials told SaharaReporters that they heard of the "Security Report" while at a stakeholders meeting Benin City with the Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of Operations in attendance. The source further claimed INEC was 99% ready and had already distributed non-sensitive election materials across the State when the devastating report hit its officers and ad-hoc staff
Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomole, who was campaigning outside of Benin City, urged INEC to avoid delaying the election for too long, saying that the All Progressives Congress (APC) was going to “bury” the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the contest.

Edo State PDP Chairman Dan Orbih opposed the postponement, saying such an action would put “democracy on trial.”

INEC sources speaking to SaharaReporters confirmed that neither the DSS nor the Nigeria Police Force consulted with the commission before advising it to postpone the election. INEC, however, was aware of the security report issued by the two agencies.

Saturday’s election between Godwin Obaseki (APC) and Osagie Ize-Iyamu (PDP) is expected to be tightly contested, with both camps engaging in last-minute efforts to secure victory.

President Muhammadu Buhari visited Benin City on Tuesday to address a rally in support of the APC candidate. In anticipation of the rally, the APC reportedly paid each Local Government coordinator N5 million to “mobilize” a crowd for the president Buhari though the attendance in the was impressive but it yielded poor support for APC's candidate regardless.

Meanwhile, PDP governors have been pumping funds into local government areas surrounding Benin City, claiming that the party has made progress that would defeat the APC on Saturday.

At the time of reporting, INEC has yet to make a statement officially postponing the election, although a source at the agency admitted that the security report has psychologically demobilized its workforce.
However, its officials, including the chairperson and four national commissioners, plan to remain in Benin City until a final decision is made.

The coming of Buhari to Benin was ill advised. He should have stayed away as his coming was a minus to APC. With the hunger & inflation in the land coupled with the obvious lopsided appointments at the federal level in favour of northern states, I think his presence will not help his party.
