Oshiomole is after obaseki because he didn't signed the pension law for ex governor.Immediately oshiomole tenure expired he proposed a pension plan for ex governor's and other ridiculous allowances for obaseki to approve.But the governor refused so he is bent on getting back at him.

skedman:
Oga direct primaries is still the best and that is what inec is using for the same election
Having division of people in different unit is better than having different delegate cluster together from different town in one place
Obaseki

Exactly!!! Having 6000 plus delegate gather in one place is likely to pose more danger to the spread of the virus than having less than 200 (in some units) card carrying members gather in one place and vote.
This excuse by the governor does not hold water

Biofil84:
I said it this Obaseki guy is a technocrat can u imagine the weapon he is using to counter osho direct primary method, a very valid method.

Osho should rest and allow this guy finish the remains 4 years, he was also given same chance so he shouldn't deprive others of thier own privilege.

Hnmmm if this guy enta for his 2nd term in office eeeeeeh osho will need to feel a form before entering Edo state and write an exam before entering his village.

Oga pipe down!! Technocrat you say?? Unitl then your Obaseki governor will learn in the hardway let him ask Ambode who is more of a Technocrat politics is beyond being only Technocrat first you must know how carry everyone along irrespective of divergent views, Yes we can't compare Edo politics with Lagos Politics, they call it Politics because it involves intrigues, suspense and manipulation for Obaseki am sorry is already a "Goner" if am in his shoes I will preparing my last speech out office by now Oshimole brought him in and will surely take him out mark my words!!

If Covid-19 wouldn't make direct primary fashionable, then there's no reason to have the major election since note people would be involved

Salatavor:
He has a point. But he is just pointing at himself.

So what is your own point and where is it pointing at ?

Brilliant from Obaseki.

Anybody who knows the two men will know that Godwin Obaseki is a well educated , civilized technocrat from a respectable family lineage, while Oshiomhole appears more like a tout, no one can actually point at any family lineage he is from, maybe that's why he appears brutish and uncivilized in his utterances and actions.

FortuneDeGreat:
Having looked into it, I think the reason he gave is sound and appropriate at the moment, it would be stupid of any body to even suggest such a massive gathering all in the name of ordinary party primaries.

If not that Nigeria being what it is, ordinarily, thinking of a direct method won't work but as the powers that be want it, Obaseki is obviously on a losing side.

Obaseki is been clever by half, so there won't b gathering on real election day, since direct primary is like real election,.

AmazingMOG:
my guy shut up you bini people makes too much useless noise.


That's why you people hype your useless city, the most useless and under developed city in South south full of mud house


Making noise about your culture and king but it took the British 3 days to burn down your kingdom then exile your king to Calabar


Making noise in politics and your state has nothing to boast of better political position in the country.


Do you think politics is by noise? Please go and sleep you're a lazy youth. go and repair your old city ravage with cultism and prostitution.

Shuuu! Who b dis first class push and start mugu self?

Like they really care. Try direct Primaries and see yourself go down! But come to think of it, why do our politicians always use this as a vindictive tool? Ondo State is Indirect while Edo is Direct Primary model

Edo APC is already factionalized. Using a delegate list controlled by the governor's faction means disenfranchising the other faction which will lead to another round of litigation

If Ondo state is indirect,Akeredolu is on a long thing because his faction were not recognized by the party NWC except he is able to bribe those delegate with huge amount of money,I was in Akure last week discussing APC matters in ondo state with one of their grassroot member,only Alasoadura is the only notable party cheiftain behind him,most of all the party big wing has left him coz of anti party activities,he singlehandedly sponsored AA candidate against someone like borofice which is 2x senator in Ondo South and loses heavily,just imagine as sitting governor.He got away with the list of doctored delegate during the time of oyegun,I don't think he can scale through under Oshiomole. With sincerity,the man is doing well in Ondo state, atleast he doesn't owe a single month salary with few capital project but am not seeing him trumph the APC primary in Ondo state.

This is not a valid excuse, if the governor is using covid19 as an excuse for direct primary what will now happened to the main election, will INEC conduct an indirect election during the main election too because of covid 19.

went to plead with Tinubu who is a god-father to many in the West land....To help him fight Oshiomole....

I didn't know you heard when serving them drinks

I said sometimes ago that Oshiomole will deal with Obaseki and someone quoted me to tell me how Obaseki will rubbish Oshiomole at the poll.....


Obaseki who said god-fatherism in Edo politics must be abolished went to plead with Tinubu who is a god-father to many in the West land....To help him fight Oshiomole....


I don't like Oshiomole, but Obaseki played a child's politics in today's game.....

martineverest:
and Lagosians will sit at the comfort of their homes doing permutations for Edo state on how Oshiomhole will trump obaseki. .I just smh


it's either obaseki or PDP... Oshiomhole is dead and buried in Edo land

Exactly my thought

WHITELIGHTER:


Exactly my thought

don't mind these nairalanders.....u see that deputy governor,Shuaibu ,he will rip Oshiomhole apart

obaseki got oba's backing

So how will the main gubernatorial election be held? Lol Oga Obaseki is a goner. Just watch na

AmazingMOG:
I guess you're a cultistttttttt that's your city trade mark

Shut your trap since you have nothing reasonable to say. Ozuor.

bolaayenimo:
If PDP decides to do direct primary, can Obaseki stop them as governor because of COVID-19??

Yes, he can, as d chief security officer of Edo State.

All Edo Indigen and Youth are mugu.I see not reason why they will keep quiet and allow oshomole used his Godfatherism to intimidate the ruling governor. All this people are fool's.

If u know u popular them adopted direct primary

Oshio was not given additional 4 years. He earned it. Let whatsoever desires earn it too.

Everything na COVID-19
You go do indirect voting for the main election abi?

So corona virus is what APC are using now to carry out their nefarious political activities.

AmazingMOG:
You're gone man.

There is nothing you can do about it.

Oshiomole's is an enemy to the entire good people of that state.

Ingriid:
Direct or indirect primaries, Obaseki may still emerge as d flag bearer of Apc , cos it appears Oshiomole as really lay low, I hardly hear of him these days; I hope all is well with Osho baba.

I sincerely hope someday this godfather-godson brouhaha will end in our politics.

you seem out of touch with the issues on ground..oshiomhole laying low How

Was it not oshiomhole that brought the guidelines for the primaries that is making obaseki run up and down

Yebosola:




Obaseki is been clever by half, so there won't b gathering on real election day, since direct primary is like real election,.

It is been projected that by September which is the month of the election, the world would have come up with a solution to the pandemic.

Watch out for the increase in the number of covid-19 cases in Edo state. Game on.

Nothing concern us with una problem. My own is let the party have more crisis so Edo will fall to the hand of PDP like in Zamfara and Rivers State.


Just that Edo PDP no dey see opportunity here to help destroy them. Wike really dealt with Amaechi

With the help if his godmother at the supreme court.
I no mention name o o

All na long story of a fearful man. Is it not the same direct method that would be used in the general election?

You missed it, why would inec also insist on elections in this pandemic era? If they would come out to vote during general elections, what stops them from voting during direct primary.
That's double standard.

Direct or Indirect, all na free kick.

Obaseki you need to form a strong wall, Otherwise Bini go be Lagos.
