why didn't oshiomole win the last election against seriake dickson??...bayelsa people wanted to remove Dickson permanently and they voted apc last week...buhari lost presidential election in Edo state..pdp won most of the senatorial and Mass elections in Edo state..where was oshiomole when APC lost in Edo?.

u aren't an Edo man..u won't understand.... oshiomole is even from minority ethnic group...the 2 majority are Benin ( anti oshiomole) and esans( irredeemable PDP minion's and anti-oshiomole)....the fact that godfatherism is what Edo people are against will give obaseki stronger arm...just look at PDP members jumping to APC and kabaka saga,they are mostly cultists,which oba wants to annul..

the kings in Edo state are behind obaseki,thus his doggedness

Where are you from? Who told you that Edo central has more population or voters more than Edo North? Pls cross check your facts

Obaseki will be in hot contest for APC ticket during primary election..Edo election is loading

And me will also decamp to Apeecee soon,that only way to survive Nigeria politics.

A former Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, Hon Bright Omokhodion, former Deputy Speaker, Festus Ebea, former state chairman of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, Mr. Tony Omoaghe, on Thursday joined Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC)

Others were Mrs. Tawa Idubor, Chief Blessing Agbomhere, Etinosa Ogbeiwi, Emmanuel Momoh and several others.

They had announced their mass resignation from the People’s Democratic Party through a voice vote after motion was moved and seconded by Hon Festus Ebea (Edo Central) Emmanuel Momoh (Edo North) and Tawa Idubor (Edo South).

Giving reasons for leaving the PDP, Hon Omokhodion said they had an intense and exhaustive deliberation on the political wrangling and demise of internal democracy in the Edo state chapter of PDP as well as consulted widely across the three senatorial districts of the state.

Hon Omokhodion noted that the present leadership of the Edo PDP lost its political directions and all attempts to suggest ways of redirecting the fortunes of the party was resisted by the leadership of the party.

Omokhodion said the action of suspending top leaders of the party on spurious allegations were undemocratic and has reduced the morale of members to its lowest.

“That as a result of leadership failure, Edo State PDP no longer command the electoral sentiment of the Edo people.

“We, therefore in our numbers collectively resolve that Edo state PDP has failed in its objective mission to the people and we have this day resigned our membership of the PDP and have resolved to join the All Progressives Congress.”

Addressing party supporters, Pastor Ize-Iyamu said the resignation was not to give room for speculation or give impression that they were retiring from politics.

Pastor Ize-Iyamu cautioned them using against ‘throwing stones at the house we once inhabited, a house we have many friends and many associates.

He said, “PDP and any other political party for that matter are not our enemies. Please refrain from any attack that suggests that we are leaving PDP in anger or in bitterness. What is important is our primary objective in politics, why we chose to be in politics.

“Many people have different reasons for being in politics but for most of us in this group we see politics as an opportunity to represent our people, we see it as an opportunity to assess government and bring the dividends, the benefits of government to our people and we cannot be fulfilled if we play politics without being above to achieve these goals.

“People might call us names, but many understand why we have to do what we did. We have done what we have done because we believe that we just assist to bring development to our people. We must assist to bring solutions. It is not enough to just criticise and criticise. We want to be in the forefront of providing solutions.

“We want to assure our brothers there that we are not coming to a strange place. APC is home to many of us just like PDP was home. We are going into the APC with good intentions. We are not going there to join factions. We are going to join APC. We are going there to help strengthen the party and we intend to give our full allegiance to those in charge, those in authority. We will not undermine the powers that be. We will not join in any fight or name calling but we have come with the best of intentions.”

Nigerian politicians and their gimmicks.

Obaseki is also cross carpeting to the pdp should incase Oshiomole denies him the party ticket to contest the 2020 governorship election.

yes , is oshio game plan

helinues:
Oh okay

He must have been assured the Apc ticket before jumping the ship

We are waiting as things unfold

Pastor Ize-Iyamu is in APC as an instrument that will be used to give Obaseki the 'Ambode treatment'.

Ize-Iyamu will get APC ticket while Gov Obaseki will decamp to PDP and get the ticket.

APC will use formula GR9010ED21 to unseat Obaseki.

saintokwuluora:
PDP politicians working in tandem with Obaseki in Edo. This new move is to make Oshiomole irrelevant in Edo APC. The fight for control of APC in Edo is now much more messier. Ordinarily Obaseki would have left APC for another party but that will put him dangerously against the federal might of Buhari's government ahead of next year's election so instead of that, PDP in EDO has joined APC. Good move.

Good Kini?
Or you don't know what has been going on in Edo State? This is the Climax of the Long Raging War between Gov Obaseki and Oshiomhole. If Anybody can Unseat Obaseki and Clinch the Party's ticket, that person is Pastor Ize-Iyamu.. Apart from that both Apc and PDP voting Public Love Obaseki, but that's not important to Oshiomhole who feels Obaseki has no right to challenge him or have a mind of his own. The only reason Ize-Iyamu joined APC is because he has been promised the Ticket because he is absolutely no use to APC... Obaseki is in the fight of his political life. The Tinubu Ambode scenario is repeating itself again in Edo State, its now left to be seen if it will work

This one don't even know what is happening in Edo state.

Nyamiri:


Just for a minute imagine Ize Iyamu supported by Oshiomole and backed by federal might. Just imagine that.

Maybe you need Dickson, Dino and Wada to explain better to you.

they told u Dickson lost because of federal might?..where was federal might when APC lost presidential election to PDP in Edo and also lost most NASS seats to pdp

How many HOA seats does PDP have in Edo State?

By the time Oshiomole is through with Obaseki, you'll be here to read the story.
