Obaseki is wining this election
Am going to my village in uhunwmode local government area of Edo state to cast my vote for obaseki... uhunwmode is close to esan land but not esan...esan land and my local government is for PDP

I[b]t will be hard for PDP because most of the bigwigs given supports are not from Edo. [/b]The influence of Capt Hosa and POI will weaken the Obaseki endeavors coupled with the fact that he did not do more on infrastructures like the predecessor. Most of the political foot soldiers don't trust him.

Edo Central won't 100% for him but likely 60-40 because of the influence of party structure of APC that didn't go with him in that area.

Edo North won't be 100% for APC but that is where massive make up will happen and Shuaibu will be tamed in Jattu.

The senatorial elections PDP is talking about and last presidential was intentionally allowed to mock Obaseki and draw him to the discussion table in which he turned bad eyes to.

Tomorrow is pregnant and expect more drama before Saturday morning. My prayer is that the best out of the 2 wrongs will win irrespective of their parties

The first bolded is very true.they can only provide moral support.you need men from edo
The second highlighted point is another area obaseki is seriously failing in..
Your second paragraph is what I've been harping on but I wonder how Phillip will be tamed in jattu

Exactly, so this scenario is even more strange.
It is Obaseki (not PDP), Oshiomhole (with some renegade APC members) & Ize-Iyamu (who has some PDP following as well).


I wish my state is like edo politically

I wanted to say this to fergie.apc has mastered the art and act of winning local or state elections in edo but find it difficult to win nass polls

I will conclude that whatever happens, Obaseki did not manage the 2016 victory well and the result pushed him out of APC. If he dares do that in PDP, he will not last 2 years in power. He should ask himself very honest question " Apart from being a governor, how strong is he politically ?". It is obvious Philip will go back to APC someday but this election is the definition of Obaseki as a politician.

He deliberately dodged promising the central support in 2024 to produce the next governor and that will speak volume tomorrow from the result that will come out

I think the section of apc loyal to obaseki has been tamed and silenced and largely irrelevant thereby resorting to litigations.don't forget pastor has sympathisers in pdp also.

Both pastor and obaseki are evenly matched but when you add oshiomhole and federal might,pastor moves ahead.
Obaseki needs to win massively at polling units
On a one-on-one pedestal without incumbency, Ize-Iyamu is a more popular politician. However, this is an election against an incumbent who is from the most densely-populated area of the State.

Those members in their few numbers can really hurt you. Bauchi for ex...The President did win there.

You speak of Federal might, this President seems a bit disinterested in this Edo election. I think majority of APC bigwigs will get involved with Ondo which I think they will win. (my personal thoughts)

All these analysis is inconsequential coz as long as it is a staggered election in Nigeria, APC can and will never loose d election. If this Edo election was conducted during d general election, Obaseki would have emerge winner.

Edo south should have been a deciding factor if the Igbos there turn up and vote for their usual PDP. But the problem is that Igbos generally rarely ever turn up on voting days. They dont seem to care about voting but cry afterwards.

The only thing that seem to hate more than voting seem to be islam and its mumbo jumbo

Still in Auchi. Shuaibu was disgraced and humiliated yesterday in his ward. He wanted to show his street credibility like Oshiohmole but was disgraced. The people were shouting Philip Ole!!!!!! My own be say no IPOB clown should come online tomorrow and shout rigging. Obagone has no political structure in Edo state, he lost his polling unit, ward and local government to Ize Iyamu, in fact, all his senatorial and House of Reprenstative candidates lost to Ize Iyamu in the last general election. The combinations of Oshobaba and Ize Iyamu will be too strong for Obagone.
You are talking rubbished. Do you know that even the APC know very well that PDP will win Edo south and in general Edo state? that is why they are trying to use federal might by all means but it will not work.

Ondo will be far easier to win than edo.if you look at buhari since 2015,you will discover that he never gets involved directly.he does as if he doesn't care but you will see his men doing the damage.in osun,he was abroad but you saw what happened.the video of oshio and gambari and ganduje flying with the presidential jet is clear enough

This is how elections should be, unlike the selections in Enugu, Ebonyi and Abia states. In those states, once you are selected by the PDP cabals, go and sleep, you have already won. Even if you are a devil and other party candidates are saints, they will still vote for you because of PDP that never did anything for the region.
And also in Lagos, osun ogun etc. Once u get apc flag, u r done with the main election.
Who no be thief for Nigeria?
Do u know how much is embezzled daily in Lagos by those who r in charge?
For ur mind Lagos is being governed well than those states u mention. Lagos that generates more than 30billion daily which sum up to 900billion. Has it reflected on the development on ground?
There r no saints in Nigeria, buhari is an example.

Oga don't mislead people here, abeg. Especially those who might not be able to read the whole piece. It wasn't stated anywhere in the analysis that pastor will win, neither was obaseki touted as likely winner. But if you follow the analysis very well, you'll see that pdp stands better chance in edo south and central than apc.
Go back and read again in edo south
3 LG is sure for apc
2 LG is sure for pdp
2 LG are battlegrounds

Those states you mentioned....he showed his hand.
Ondo, Ekiti, Kogi....He showed his hand & really got involved.
Osun, Bayelsa...He left the men there to take care of things.

Moreover, this is Edo..the Oba has very huge influence.

Also, it is public knowledge that a faction wants to clean out another faction and Edo is the playground.

Maybe these factors are playing out.

Or do u expect the dep governor of ondo state to win?
