Obaseki Losing Media Battle
With just 10 days to Edo election we have seen several campaign clips of the incumbent governor Mr. Godwin Obaseki and his main challenger Dr Osagie Ize-Iyamu on different television stations and they have been aired on radio as well.
But since the end of 2015 election rounds in Nigeria a new reality has dawned on our political sphere and it is very alarming that many have not come to realize the new normal in our political world.
Prior to 2015 election we saw President Goodluck Jonathan on many Television Stations campaigning, alas, he lost the election because his media team focused on television and radio broadcasts while his main opponent took part of the television and radio airway but dominated the social media. He was on every blog site and was trending on every social media platform as well. And he won the election.
I have keenly followed Governor Godwin Obaseki’s campaign and I must confess that his media team is not doing enough as they are losing the social media battle by a great margin. The governor is not trending on any social media platform and that is so unusual. The screen on ring-road and other strategic places in the state will not show Edolites all the governor has done and with few days to the election it is important that the governor rejig his campaign team and focus more on the social media because there are more smart-phones in Nigeria than there are televisions. And with the epileptic power supply and high cost of fuel in the country, people prefer getting information with their phones than with televisions or even radios. One week is enough for information to spread because with social medial, the world is a global village and everyone is a next door neighbor. Furthermore, information travel faster with social media than it travels with television or radio.
Now it behooves on the governor and his handlers to do the needful. A stitch in time saves nine and a word is enough for the wise.

I want assume you're referring to nairaland media space

On nairaland obaseki is dominating the media, his supporters comments always have more likes and they are always on front page.

Over 5 commissioners has resigned, Ize iyamu has 20 law makers support him against obaseki 5.

Ize iyamu has completely outclassed him. Campaign, grassroot supporters and meeting local people.

How many Edo people are in this forum? Less than 50 and how many has voters card and will vote ? Less than 10 yet obaseki is wasting money putting ads here.lmao

Obaseki is Igbo candidate.

Oga calm down. September 19th will clear all our doubts.
Then we'll know how much social media noise can influence the voting population that is trying so hard to reverse the woes of the past few months due to COVID, in an economy that is strangulating them. People are hustling, you're here talking about social media. Wait till September 19th.
