As PDP urges INEC not to allow Edo sleepwalk into disaster
The Edo State Governor and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in September 19, 2020, gubernatorial election, Mr Godwin Obaseki, has concluded his ward-to-ward reelection campaign in Edo North Senatorial District, with a promise to protect the interests of the majority of the people and bring an end to godfatherism, which he said is a threat to the growth and development of the state.


Obaseki made the promise while speaking to party faithful in Ward 7, Etsako West Local Government Area, on Sunday, and called on the people to support him in the fight against godfatherism by voting en masse for the PDP in the forthcoming governorship poll.

The governor said that the progress of the state has been held down for too long by the godfather, adding: “In three years and a half, my eyes have seen a lot in Government. We need people who know what they are doing in Government. We want to stop all this nonsense so that we can create more jobs and a better future for our people.”

According to him, “The election of September 19, 2020, is a very serious one; on that day, we have to tell them that Edo must move forward and bring an end to godfatherism.”

In Iddo Ward 8, Etsako West Local Government Area, Governor Obaseki thanked leaders of the party and members of his campaign team for their time and sacrifices throughout the campaign which began two weeks ago.

He also urged the people to defend their votes, promising to resolve the lingering kingship tussle in Afokpella.

The way Edo people troop out in numbers to welcome baba Osho, it seems they love god fatherism.

Becoming the monster he vowed to extinguish.

what I see on nairaland comment section this days proves that the youths have no future..

they'd rather use their time engaging on baseless argument that has no relevance outside nairaland..

Emedu:
The outcome of Edo governorship election is very hard to predict because the Federal might is not decisive in who to support.

You, your siblings and the youths in your family have no future.

Only God can save Obaseki ,I pity him ,he does not understand politics and politicians , he was advised wrongly on how to fight godfatherism ,he too took the wrong advice , miscalculated and took the wrong steps .
90% of people he thinks are loyal to him are not they waited with him to share his plans with them before they leave .
He lost touch with the grassroots politicians (they are the most powerful ,they do all the dirty jobs in politics . Olusola Saraki , Bola Tinubu and Adedibu understand this very well ) Do you know it was grassroots politicians that saved Fsshola during is first time in office ?
He decamped too late (He should have known that they will frustrate him out APC with Osho as the chairman )Otom of Benue state was smarter
The masses ( the good people of of EDO )can love him but only the politicians can deliver when it comes to election .
Now the commander in chief of armed forces have declared that the APC candidate MUST win
Now the security arms of the government have had it clear they are against him .
Then who will defend his loyalist ?
Will you be surprised if they impeach him before election ?
Obeseki should approach the court ,to contest the legality of the new house .
My people in Edo my prayers is that God will keep you but always remember NON OF THESE. PEOPLE WORTH DIEING FOR .

With all the campaign so far. it is clear that Obaseki is a goner already. Too much love for Baba Oshomoile by Edo people. too much crowd everywhere
