Icheeee Sir,
It’s not gonna be easy for Wike, Edo is not Rivers ooooooooooooo.

Federal no be small thing oh !

wike no get single power .he won is because APC did not contest . immediately after 2015 election two Senate seat was nullified by election tribunal .there were rerun APC won the two

Na so my GMB. No story. Edo is APC, I repeat Edo na APC.

Mr President if you are from Edo State, you will know that the Flag bearer of your Party Ize Iyamu is a loser already. What wonders me though is your support for him to candidate for a public office knowing his previous criminal records. Ask about him from EFCC. They will tell you, he is a criminal and that he is having a case against him at the court regarding 700 Million Naira he misapropriated. Play back Oshiomhole Campaign Video 2016, you will understand better. Mr. President why support such a person to handel the affairs of Edo State? It is either you are yielding unnecessarily to the pressures from Oshiomhole, Tinubu & Co. or you don´t care about Edo People. A Thief and Criminal should never be supported to hold public office. You disappointed many Edo People to have given your support to Ize Iyamu. The do or die affair of your Party to win Edo State and give it to a Thief to handel, is even making us the Edo People to love Obaseki more. Himself and his deputy have showned, that they are reliable persons. Your are the sitting President, ask about Obaseki, you will hear how lovely he has performed within 4 years. The Buhari i know appreciate such persons. But why supporting a Thief according to Oshiomhole to replace a good governor? Help us though Mr. President to ensure free, fair and peaceful Election in Edo State. Please ensure, that Oshiomhole &. co. do not use the Police, Military, Agberu and violence to bring unrest and intimidate innocent Voters. If this is ensured be very sure that the Edo People know very well the right person to vote for. Oshiomhole will get his final defeat in Edo State. He is already a roasted chicken at the federal level. Thank you so much for plucking his wings.
We want improvement in Edo State and we trust Obaseki and his deputy for the job. God bless Edo State

Okay okay

I am dedicating this position to those who are in need, I pray Almighty God grant your desires.

Amen

SmartyPants:
One thing I can't understand....why does Edo seem to be so important in the grand political scheme?

It's a relatively small state, and only minor in terms of oil, no port...

But the battle has drawn the high and mighty info the arena...

What am I missing?

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.

Only voters suppose decide, but in Naija, d dullard can make anybody wins any elections by using the inec and his puppet military and police

Kubernetes:
Only the voters will decide

abi decider. Sit down there. You think its only by votes... Wake up from slumber, it goes beyond that in Nigeria politics.

Well, I pity those who will sacrifice their lives for this election because recent developments in edo state has shown that the will of the people will not prevail.

It is now left for the best rigger to carry the day.

Abuja12345:
Unu amaro ka PDP siri kwado... Wike is waiting for you people

Thank God there's no CP Mbu and First lady in Edo to carry out Wike who has never won a free and fair election plan

Wa gbayi Baba to ja ...

Obaseki and PDP are loser,
Never again PDP in this nation

crazygod:
If a president can say this without thinking of the will of the people, then this country has really gone. Very sad

He urged his party men to deploy all lawful means to win. As the leader of the party, thats exactly what he should do.

Andrew13:
Lol
Sai madman
He urged party leaders at the national and state levels to follow the electoral process in an open and transparent manner, adding, “What I want is a transparent process so that the confidence of the people will be strengthened.”

Tell Buhari Edo no be Aso Rock.

Mo3891:

.

In other words, Edo is a predominantly Moslem state.

Abia state is about 99% non Moslem.

I think mr president made a mistake with that statement. It suppose to be, ensure massive rigging during Edo state election.

mannobi:
Obaseki is a novice in political matters. How would you clamp down on pdp for three years and in a month you joined and expect everyone to do your bidding just like that. He can only settle the tax collectors and not the real pdp voters.

Yeye Obaseki

All your sins are forgiven once you join APC...which church the man dey pastor self??
