Yorubas never hated OBJ. In 1999, he wasn't their prefered candidate because he was running against Another Yoruba by name olu Falae, they knew they had nothing to lose, head or tail, a Yoruba wins.

If they didn’t hate OBJ in 1999 then why could he not win a single SW state that year? You are the one hallucinating against common sense and logic.

Because he was was contesting against another Yoruba representing a Yoruba party in 1999. Don't be dumb.

Deadlytruth:
When in 2003, it became obvious he was the only Yoruba candidate running, Yorubas voted for him massively, the slogan was " He is our son".

Yorubas were rooting for OBJ in 2003 on account of “He is our son” slogan and Igbos joined them in voting their son and preferred candidate. Can we call that a Yoruba-Igbo agenda therefore? Very funny!

Igbos already voted for PDP in 1999 when Yorubas didn't because they had the luxury of knowing that head or tail, a Yoruba man would emerge the president, as two Yorubas were the frontrunners. How then can it be said that we joined Yorubas to vote OBJ in 2003? More like the tribalistic Yorubas joined Igbos to vote OBJ, because the only other choice left would have been to vote a non Yoruba.

OBJ swept the votes in SW in 2003. He also swept the votes in SS and SE in 1999. The Biafra-Arewa thing is a product of your hallucinations.

With the exception of Lagos, elections in the whole SW in 2003 results were characterized by ballot box snatching falsification of results, etc all in a bid for OBJ to prevent the humiliation he had suffered in 1999. Only in Lagos was it satisfactorily free and fair and OBJ lost it. Was Lagos a non-Yoruba state as of then?

Well, elections all over Nigeria, including the East was same, it was the era of rigging. It was OBJ era of do or die politics. We can only analyze the final result before us.

Lagos is a highly multiethnic state, it's not exactly a model Yoruba state. Moreover, Tinubu had his own rigging machinery that cancelled out those of PDP, since Tinubu refused to dump AD.

No, You only ended up exposing your own hypocrisy, Igbophobia and obsession with Ndiigbo.
It's on record that Enahoro and Awolowo, both civilians formed unholy alliance with a Northern military dictator in 1967.

Self-contradiction again. It is on record too that Igbos decided to pitch tents with the Feudalist North against all against all other Southerners before other southerners. repeated it in 1979 despite the bitter lessons of the first occasion

It's on record that Awolowo treachery and deceit made it impossible for Zik to risk any form of alliance with him, and judging by Ojukwu- Awolowo later scenario, Zik was spot on in ditching Awolowo.
It had also been shown that Awolowo had no qualms forming alliance with military dictatorship North, as we saw his alliance with Gowon, and could had still done a similar thing if Zik didn't move fast in 1959.

We also know that in 1979, Awolowo was fully paid for his treachery in 1967-70 by Ndiigbo, and was once again left in the lurch.

We also know that just as he attempted to usurp the government of Balewa in 60's just because he was left in the cold, so did he try to Usurp Babangida government in the 80's and was caught for a record second time for treason crime.

And currently, Edos in connivance with Yorubas betrayed a Sothern president to once again pitch tent with a Northern former military dictator.
And Igbos in connivance with Hausa-Fulani connived betrayed the southern solidarity in 1993 to once again pitch tent with Abacha – a sitting military dictator and the worst in Nigeria’s history


Abiola was friends of Arewa, his mandate was an Arewa-oduanistan combo, and he was betrayed by Yoruba elders and traditional rulers who traded him for cool cash when it mattered most, misled him and watched him rot in prison. He was killed by Arewa people like Fajuiyi was killed, and Yorubas looked the other way as usual, looking to pin it on the Igbo man.
Hanging it on Ndiigbo is your usual reflex reaction of not accepting responsibility for your misadventures but instead looking to put it on Ndiigbo.

Why should you vote for MKO as a Yoruba man? Was the OBJ you voted massively for in 1999 and 2003 an Igbo man? And that was an election contested by not just an ordinary Igbo man but a very illustrious one, Igbos ditched him for a Yoruba man and still gave more votes to a Fulani man than him.

Our votes is ours, we decide who to give it to. We voted for OBJ, when had Yorubas ever voted for any Igbo man in their existence?

Did Zik have an Image? The same Zik whose burial
Ojukwu, the greatest Igbo hero, deliberately refused
to attend? An “intellectual” who kept on seeking
unity with those busy slaughtering his own
brothers right before him on a daily basis? Edo was
never that cursed to have such an “intellectual”.
The fact that he is not celebrated means he is not
as valued as a chick. Is there any chick which is
unloved by its mother hen?
Read below the damning verdict Ojukwu, the Igbo
hero, slammed on Zik


Zik image is on your 500 naira note, A federal University in his home state is named after him, Abuja airport is named after him, numerous roads all over the East are named after him.

None of your Edo leaders, both Dead, living and yet unborn will ever be fit to tie Zik shoes.

Edo was always cursed with blood thirsty Obas that made people to flee from the empire of blood and Gore right from the precolonial era till Nigeria, when confused beings like Akenzua dissolved Nigerian regions, argued against decentralization of power and nudged Gowon to create dysfunctional entities called states.

Ojukwu and Zik were never all that in good terms, I don't think Akintola had anything good to say about Awolowo in the 60's.

Lol! Buhari got just 19% of the votes in Imo, he got whopping 40% in Edo. A state that is supposed to be part of SS,lol!
Imo still delivered over 70% of the votes to GEJ, despite all Okorocha efforts.


Lol! We are comparing Imo not with Edo but with other Middle East states among which Imo was a clear departure from the general trend of APC percentages as shown below:
Enugu – 2.3%
Anambra – 2.6%
Abia –3.5%
Ebonyi -5.7%
Imo – 19.4%
The Edo’s 40% could be understood on the consideration of having their son as the national chairman of APC coupled with Edo’s revulsion for PDP on account of being the SS state hardest hit by PDP governors’ misgovernance since 1999. But what can we say is responsible for Imo’s 20% which, compared with Edo’s 40%, represents 50% translating to a credit grade mark to put it on the same pass range with Edo? Again, looking at it on the ratio of Percentage
: years spent in APC as at the time of the election we get as follows
Edo: 40% after 8 years of being in APC
Imo: 20% after 4 years of being in APC
It is perfectly the same proportion which translates to mean that Imo too will give at least 40% to APC after 8 years which corresponds to 2019 when Buhari will likely recontest.

No. The issue was the proof of Edo not being a SS state.

Imo could have voted whoever they want. GEJ wasn't Igbo, even though he was loved by Ndiigbo, neither was he from SE.

GEJ is from SS, was a frontrunner to the race, and got over 70% of the votes in all other SS states baring Edo, the pseudo SS state, the freak of nature.

Amaechi was a more powerful member of APC than the rubber stamp Oyegun, so that your APC chairman excuse is trash!

The only explanation to that is that Edo sticks out like a sore thumb in SS.

Ndi Anambra loved Ngige not ACN, moreover this your analogy is flawed. Both Ngige and Akunyili and other candidates in that election were from Anambra. Is Buhari from SS? Why then was a supposedly SS state giving him as high as 40% of its vote in an Election a SS candidate was a frontrunner?
You need help. Imagine comparing apples with oranges.


If not for short memory, my mention of Ngige and ACN was in response to your insinuation that Edo’s being in CAN for 8 years suggests a pro-Northern leaning. You are rather the one with flawed analogy. Now, just like your defence for Ngige here; was Oshiomhole not equally from Edo? Is Buhari from the SE? Why then was a supposed state of the SE where people claimed he committed genocide on them during the War even give him as high as 20% in an election also contested by a candidate from their supposed sister Region? That was pure madness?
Edo’s giving of 40% to him without any history or claim of genocide makes more sense than the 20% in a state in the Middle East where they accuse him of monumental genocide. That is just too outrageous and extremely stupid! As much as 20% for a man who, according to they themselves, killed innocent women and children in thousands? Silly!


Anambra people voted Ngige and not ACN because of his track record. when Ngige became to pro Arewa-oduanistan thereafter, he became unelectable.

A SE presidential candidate wasnt a frontrunner in
2015 election.
A SS presidential candidate was the frontrunner in 2015 election, yet a supposedly SS Edo gave 40% of its vote to Buhari.
There is no correlation between this and Imo state, Imo is not a SS state.

Well, Yorubas were not contesting elections under AG in the East, if they did, only then do they stand chance of winning.
Igbos were contesting for elections in the West, because the Igbo population there was substantial and that remains same today.
My argument holds.

You had earlier argued that the Igbo population in the West as at 1979 was not sufficient enough to have been responsible for the 10% Shagari got in Oyo, but now you posit again that Igbos already substantially populated the Western Region as far back as the AG vs NCNC time which is over 25 years before 1979. Speaking from the two sides of your mouth. So which do we believe now? Can you see how inconsistent you’ve always been?

You are the one clutching at straws here. Looking for diversions to run away from main issues.

Did Yorubas contest for elections in the East in the 60's?
That's the question you are trying to run away from with unnecessary unrelated diversion. Lol!

And yes! Igbos are present in the West but mainly in Lagos and not in Oyo. That Oyo 10% figure is certainly not Igbo votes.

Zik wasn't supporting an Igbo candidate in that NYM election. He was supporting a Yoruba candidate Samuel Akinsanya. That election wasn't about Ethnicity.
That election was really not about ethnicity to everyone except Zik. Awolowo supported an Ijaw man who won but Zik who, with his abysmal sportsmanship spirit which was to manifest again few years later in the Western Regions premiership election, later felt disgraced by his loss to a minority and in bitterness accused Awolowo and his supporters of discrimination against Akinsanya’s Ijebu sub-tribe not minding the fact that Awolowo was himself Ijebu, and then pulled out the Igbo folk from NYM. For goodness sake what was his business with Yorubas’ intra-tribal affair any more than the Igbo intra-tribal Osu Caste discrimination concerned non-Igbos?

Lol! See distortions and pathetic misrepresentation of facts.

Zik can't be having problem with minorities when the likes of Mbu, Imoke were the henchmen in NCNC Eastern region hierarchy. As usual, the above post is a product of your schizophrenic hallucinations. lol!

You had previously accused Zik of causing the Igbo- Yoruba rift because of the NYM elections, now I reminded that Akinsanya, Ziks candidate in that election was Yoruba, you had gone back again to propound a psychotic theory of Zik having issues with minorities.

What's your game? Bring Tonye in to serve as your shield why you cry how Igbos denial of Boro secession plans affected a far away Edo man in Midwestern region?

Poor comprehension as usual! Of course I referenced Barcanista’s thread firstly to answer to your question as to how many non-Yoruba Southerners’ ambitions have ever enjoyed Yorubas’ backing, and secondly to destroy your insinuation that the anti-Igbo stance of the Ijaws is but an Edo propaganda. And you got the message, hence your high BP over the mention of Barcarnista whose submissions there were killer punches to the lies of your likes there. Go there and prove Tonye wrong with superior argument if you can.
Why not let the courts say! What is the business of an Igbo man with a land tussle within a state he himself repeatedly says are Northerners or Yorubas? Is that not hypocrisy and instability? You are manifesting the symptoms of insanity. Simple!
I know my mention of Ijaw angle always annoys you as it stands as the greatest and most unassailable evidence of Igbo greed, persecution of others Southern tribes with the Hausa-Fulanis’ support, expansionism, etc. We started this debate as Edo versus Igbo but you brought Yoruba into it to score cheap points so I too brought Ijaw in. I will continue to make reference to Ijaw and your crying of blue murder can not stop me.

No. You failed to prove any of your points on Boro. You waited anxiously to see if any Ijaw would come and support you with Your Igbophobic rants, so that you can hide behind that and claim that a wrong done to Ijaw was a wrong done to far flung Edo and Yorubas.
Ofcourse, no Ijaw would bite your trap, so you resorted to mentioning Barcanista, who of course ignored you again, leaving you pathetically clutching at straws, and not for the first time.

Your mention of Ijaw means nothing to me, as I had since shown you quotes by an Ijaw man, named Dokubo on Igbo Eastern Ijaw issues.

You want Tonye to come fight your battles for you, while your greedy expansionism driven Edos and your Oba plot on how to chase Ijaws off their ancestral land in Gelegele?
Dude, you are pathetic.

The Gelegele land ownership issue was taken to the Supreme Court and the Binis won. So your utterance on it amounts to contempt of court and therefore betrays prejudice, unenlightenment, and Edophobia. Of course we know Igbos are lawless and have no respect for democracy institutions. If it were really an expansionist drive on Edos’ part it would not have taken the Oba a minute to overrun Gelegele prior to colonization. The Oba’s choice of approaching the court over the issue maeans he was ready to accept the court verdict either way it swung, thus can’t pass for expansionism. But Ojukwu and Igbos who, despite claiming that Edo is unrelated to them, invaded Edo and with force tried to annex it to Biafra land without any supporting court verdict or consent of the people. That was expansionism in its real definition.
Mr. Man, you stink of ignorance and Edophobia.



You don't claim people's land using dubious court judgements tilted in your favour and expect peace to reign, this is why peace had eluded Warri for sometimes now.

Your Oba is weak and powerless, you couldn't take Gelegele then, and you can't take it now. The temporary advantage guns you got from the Portuguese gave to you over indigenous African neighbors didn't last that long. Don't over estimate your prowess.

No Igbo person invaded Edo or tried to annex it, Edo as a part of Nigeria, with Akenzua and co giving Gowon advice from Lagos, invaded Biafra, and Biafra had to react. It's called actions and reactions.

Your Edo harassed all neighboring groups from
Anioma to Ondo using Portuguese acquired weapons, looking for people to subjugate. Shameless people.

Edo believes in solidarity but not to the extent of
retaining it when it is no longer justified or sensible
to do so. Blind solidarity is more of an Igbo thing.
In 2011 when GEJ appeared genuinely concerned
about the plight of the SS Edo rose above partisan
considerations and gave him bloc votes in
solidarity, but four years later when it became clear
that he was another Azikiwe, Edo gave it a second
thought.


Lol! So only Edos gave this so called "second thought"? Isn't it interesting that no other genuine SS state gave this Edo putrid rancid "second thought" ?

Freak of nature. Pseudo SS state.

And for all its worth, Edo solidarity with GEJ in 2011 mirrored those of SW and NC in 2011, and still mirrored those of SW and NC in 2015.

Question? While children were having classes under
trees and people drank water up to 60% polluted
with crude oil in SS communities GEJ’s was took
as much as N500bn out of a peltry budget of
N4.5tn and pumped into building, in the North,
Almajiri schools only for Northerners to later
discredit and reject them as an attempt towards
educational segregation. What is the use of having
in power a SS son who actually pandered more to
Northern interests than the sufferings of his own
people? He abandoned the entire South and Middle
Belt which voted for him but spent all his time
trying to please the Hausa-Fulanis who did not
only vote against him but started killing and
burning houses immediately he was declared
winner in 2011. And that was the kind of person
you wanted Edos to vote for once more and by
over 80%? You think Edos are foolish like Igbos?
And without prejudice to the rigging that explained
the very delayed results of the other SS states, I
would let you know that other SSners never
pretended about GEJ’s failure to address the
fundamental problems of the SS. In fact his most
vocal critics within the region were his own Ijaw
brothers. Asari Dokubo never missed an
opportunity to make it clear that GEJ failed the SS
but that his support for him was just about
balancing the power equation in Nigeria. http://
www.premiumtimesng.com/news/111270-
jonathan-has 0-failed-niger-delta-asari-
dokubo.html. A section of Asari Dokubo’s speech
reads: “
Monkey no fine, but the mama like am, but when
the ugly monkey becomes so rascal, the mother
will desert it because if the mother continues to
like the monkey in its ugly rascality, she too will
die with the ugly monkey, after all she has more
than one monkey child…... It is alarming that the
SS must have its uninterrupted eight years tenure
but with the way things are going under Jonathan’s
watch, we are afraid that we may not be able to….”
I guess you’ ll say Dokubo is from SW/NC
Other blunders of Jonathan which turned Edo
against him are:
--- his giving of national awards of honour to
rogues like IBB who institutionalized corruption;
Abacha the murderer of Saro Wiwa his (GEJ’s)
own brother; OBJ who ordered genocide in 1999 in
Odi in his own Bayelsa home state; etc for what
he, GEJ, himself described as their contribution to
national building. He ironically ignored the Ken
Saro Wiwa who pioneered and got matyred for the
fight that made his presidency as a SS man
possible as if to say that all Saro Wiwa’s
championing of resource control, restructuring and
bioremediation of oil polluted areas was an act of
nation destruction thus his refusal to honour him
with an award let alone raise a national monument
in his name. He refused to convoke a confab until
Okorounmu and Nwabueze pressured him into it
which he reluctantly succumbed to. At a time
nearly every one in the SS was getting more
enlightened about the structural basis of Nigeria’s
failure, Jonathan began to argue that Nigeria’s
problem had nothing to with structure but
corruption which once killed every other thing
would just fall into their places. Also, at a time the
Northern military elite establishment of the Katsina
Mafia was being suspected of responsibility for the
Boko Haram national insecurity GEJ sacked a
fellow SSner, Azazi Owoye, as NSA and replaced
him with a Nortrhern military elite, Dasuki. Also in
pursuit of his attempt to attract the huge but
falsified votes of Kano Jonathan which he should
have rather sought to correct, he, on Kwankwaso’s
request, sacked Festus Odimegwu as NPC
chairman just because the latter spoke a bitter
truth about Nigeria’s census history which pricked
Kwankwaso’s guilty conscience. Was that Kano
vote not later to drown him? Did Kwankwaso
eventually deliver those votes to him? The same
Jonathan hounded Ibori overseas in the name of
corruption whereas OBJ, IBB, and other Northerners
whose loots makes Ibori’s a child’s play walked
free. And that was the kind of person you wanted
Edos to give 100% votes in the name of SS
solidarity. Was GEJ himself showing any solidarity
to the SS course or rather to the Hausa-Fulanis?
Rather than revisit Saro Wiwa’s comprehensive
blueprint on the Niger Delta demands from the FG
Jonathan was satisfied with the amnesty offer
which was mistakenly accepted by the political
elite of the ND against the preference of the Okah
Brother’s whom he hounded till he was kicked out
of power.
The same person gave a N9bn worth pipeline
protection contract to OPC leader Gani Adams
while people people in the riverine areas of the SS
lived in shanties. [/b]



Isn't it interesting that despite all these your dogoturenchi concoctions, the whole of True SS were still behind GEJ, including Asari, and a True Niger Deltan Orubebe was willing to fight for GEJ mandate when JEGA declared the result?

So, the SS issue is about having an Arewa-oduanistani government in power and not about having a SSner in power? Lol, we are learning everyday.

What fantastic reforms do you speak of? The Arewa-oduanistanis the last time I checked just plunged the Nigerian economy into recession and set the creeks on fire once again, which is only beginning to cool now. You are delusional.

Only Igbos have decided to continue living in the
past and continue fantasizing about GEJ who
wasted an opportunity to redeem the SS and
Middle Belt while licking the arses of the Katsina
Mafia.
Only Igbos are so stupid and dishonest never to
criticize their own no matter how wrong and how
detrimental his actions are to them just like
Hausas and Fulanis do. And that’s why I insist that
Igbos and Hausa-Fulanis share a lot in common as
regards value system and attitude. Edwin Clarke
gave the same verdict on him too. MEND, a 100%
Ijaw group, endorsed Buhari’s candidacy in that
election. http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/

Well, the only three main empires( translate: Those with insatiable thirst for their neighbors resources including lands) in Nigeria, where in Edo, Fulani and Yorubalands.
It's obvious those who share similar mindsets, the 2015 showed us just that.

Delusional beings who believed a former military dictator with questionable educational qualifications, who was linked with the most corrupt government in Nigerian history( Abacha government) was ever going to be a better substitute for a true democrat, with outstanding educational qualifications.

The stupidity from these three ancient land grabbing groups is really blinding.

Igbos always stood for excellence. No rational human being would chose an archaic educational inferior candidate over a modern, educationally superior candidate. Only morons do that.

Many hungry Igbo groups endorsed Buhari too, and the likes of Ogbonnaya Onu and Ngige were with him all the way, he was even given a chieftaincy title by Aba monarch,so MEND endorsing him means nothing. What real SS votes said in 2015, meant more.

This is once more coming after having earlier said
that there were already many Igbos in the West
hence their domination of NCNC. However history
shows that even before 1900 Igbos were already
scattered among other peoples in very large
numbers. For example Zik was born in Zungerua,
Nger State, Ojukwu too the same Zungeru, Michael
Okpara – Keffi in todays Nassarawa; meaning that
their parents had moved to settle in the North
before amalgamation. On the contrary Awolowo
and Enahoro were both born in their home towns of
Ikenne and Uromi meaning their parents lived at
home. So cut this crap of Igbos.


I fail to see how this helps your argument.

How exactly does this prove that the 10% of votes Shagari got in Oyo, were Igbo votes? And not Yoruba votes. Are you implying that Oyo state had more Igbo population by percentage than Lagos?

No! In 2011, GEJ won SW and NC too. Edo being more of a NC/ SW state politically and geographically just followed suit.
And for the fact that GEJ also won in the Middle East in 2011, then the Middle East also followed suit and became like the SW and NC where GEJ also won.

But in 2015 GEJ lost in the SW and NC yet won in Edo just like every other SS state. You see how stupid you have become in your analysis?


GEJ won Nassarawa and Plateau too, but only just! Like he did in Edo. We saw the same pattern in Ekiti.

This amphotericity places Edo exactly where it rightly belongs, which is SW or NC.
Learnt parts of Edo North use to be part of present day NC. It makes sense.

He won Ekiti too? But like Edo, it was just barely.
Ekiti was a PDP state ironically he won barely. But Edo was an APC state yet he got 60%

A SW presidential candidate wasn't a frontrunner in 2015 elections. How exactly can you compare Ekiti with Edo with respect to 2015?

Well, it makes sense now, seeing that Edo is actually either SW or NC located.

What ACN sterling performance do you speak off in
Edo?

You would never know because you are blinded by prejudice and Edophobia. What performance record did your PDP have in Edo?

PDP meant Nigeria battered by the military and left her as the biggest economy in Africa.
Edo and every part of Nigeria enjoyed the boom under PDP.
PDP is not the best, but APC is certainly a retrograde movement and not progressive one.

Well, let's also assume that ACN good governance in Imo made the people re elect Rochas, yet Imo people were able to separate regional politics from party politics and individual performance. Hence at presidential level, gave GEJ more than 70% of the votes.
The same folks like you have always argued that Rochas’ re-election was rigged hence he did not really perform. I have heard that argument here on NL repeatedly. So it could be explained that had Rochas performed Buhari would have scored up to 80% in Imo.

Had Rochas performed better than he did, it wouldn't still get Buhari more votes than Rochas tried to get for him by all means.

One can't be asking too much by asking for 70% of votes from a supposedly SS state for a SS presidential candidate, if Imo, a SE state can afford to deliver over 70% of her votes to a SS man, simply because of defunct Eastern region solidarity.
One can’t as well be asking too much for wondering why a state in a region which openly called GEJ their own son gave his mortal enemy whom they accuse of war crimes as much as 20%.

Haha! But SE is not SS and GEJ no matter how we love him is not a SEner!
70% of votes for GEJ in Imo is still a big vote margin.

How do we explain a. supposedly SS state not replicating the rest of SS states or atleast doing better than Imo ?

Instead, Edo couldn't resist the Arewa pull, just like Yorubas. Guess somethings never change, huh? 40% votes for an ex military dictator that is from the North? Sounds already like 1967 all over again.
Just like how Igbos could not resist Arewa pull in 1959, 1979, 1999, and are currently trying to replay their usual blind marriage with them in 2019. Imo already is leading the replay of the Arewa-Biafra marriage with 20% commitment. The trend is already spreading across the Middle East as tesitified to by the gale of defections rocking the region.

So, we agree that Edo the freak state in SS couldn't resist the Arewa pull in 2015, even when a SSner was a leading Candidate in the election.

Igbos voted for no Arewa candidate in 1959, NCNC was in coalition with NPC, there is a difference.

And we voted for an Igbo candidate in 1979 in Zik.

We voted for a Yoruba candidate in 1999, alongside the real SS.

Anyway, the current bunch of Nigerian politicians are all corrupt, so yes, they were all running away from EFCC, since APC had been declared a gathering of saints and rival party members not currently enjoying immunity that comes with elective posts had been declared fair game and then hunted mercilessly as an exhibition to gullible cheering Nigerian populace, in the APC fight against corruption, they( politicians from rival parties) had all decided to cross over to the righteous side of APC to safeguard their loot and keep their image intact.
Just like how your likes cheered OBJ while he did it in favour of PDP politicians.

You mean Ken Nnamani, Nwobodo and Ekwunife too defected to APC to escape EFCC searchlight?
EFCC searchlight had always been on Kalu beginning from his exit from Abia Govt. House, and while at that he had oscillated from one party to the other.

Possibly. Osunbor and co defected too.

Osunbor defected to APC like 18 months before Buhari’s presidency against the likes of Kalu, Chime, Nwobodo, Andy Ubah, Nnamani who dumped PDP after lost at the centre. That is the difference which I earlier called principled politicking. And in any case Osunbor has no EFCC issue on his neck.
https://politics.naij.com/708695-pdp-suffers-yet-another-setback-prominent-members-defect-apc-edo.html
The guy in the story here is an LGA party leader and not a nationally recognized PDP chieftain.
So far you have not been able to show a prominent Edo PDP chieftain who dumped PDP after the party lost at the centre.

Osunbor left PDP when it became obvious APC was now in full control of Edo. How many prominent PDP chieftain do Edos have other than Anineh?

None of those men you mentioned are currently in power. They are seeking for protection, naturally and possibly return to power, since they had all lost control of PDP machinery in their respective states to bitter rivals, who are currently still in PDP and in power.
