Few days ago we tried telling APC products of godfatherism that Edo state is a unique place. I know my people

As it stands now I advise Captain Hosa as someone I respect should call and congratulate Obaseki.

Ize iyamu should repent and retire from politics of bitterness

Oshiomele have limited time to repent or confirm his reservations in hell

Desmond has lost every credibility and should find a way to redeem himself of godfatherism

Tinubu should get ready for his confessions

Gandolar should bury his head in perpetual shame

Wike though a very controversial is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs

Philip Shuaibu should stop being underrated. His loyalty is uncommon

Many thanks to US and other foreign powers for the Visa ban it came very handy and it's helping to curb impunity

However, the victory isn't about PDP or Obaseki it's a collective voice of the people against our common oppressors, which translates the eviction of PDP from Edo if Obaseki under performs as well as the sure "tsunamious" eviction of Buharideens and APCdeens from Aso Rock come 2023.

Edo is where the revolution began! Nigeria must be better

Those who are mocking ex Lagos Governor - Akinwunmi Ambode - on the basis of the Edo election are missing the point.

First, the Edo governorship election was more of a plebiscite on Adams Oshiomole than a contest between the PDP governor Godwin Obaseki and the APC Pastor Ize Iyanmu. So in essence, this isn't Obaseki defeating Iyanmu. This is Edo people retiring the former APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomole for his overbearing god father status. In fact, there is a sense in which it can be argued that the APC candidate could have won more votes if not for the liability that Adams brought to his campaign. When you add that ill-adviced video by Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT), you would understand that the duo of Oshiomole and the Lagos BAT brought nothing but 'minus' to the APC candidate. That video of a man who foisted a semi-literate 16th century-brained coup plotter on a 21st century 'nation' only to turn around to address himself as "the leader of all democrats" rankled so many people and helped cement the resolve of Edo people against the APC.

So in a nutshell, what Edo people have shown is that no force, no matter how powerful can undermine the resolve of a determined people.

Lagos State under Ambode was an entirely different case because for one, it's always difficult, if not impossible, to rescue slaves who see their chains as some beautiful bracelet. The Lagos electorates, with the exception of a few, are quite in love with one man determining their fate. Or so it would seem. So there was very little an Ambode could have done without the people. Not with Tinubu's strong hold on all the party structure in the state, Asorock support as well as a well oiled non-state actor such as the Lagos State Road Transport Union ever ready to act as his stand-by instrument of violence each time the need arises. Or why do you think the road transport union in Lagos is treated as the 4th arm of govt? Who do you think flew the union leader MC Oluomo abroad for treatment after he was wounded in a pre-election clash in the run-up to the 2019 poll?

To uproot Tinubu from Lagos will require a combination of factors including federal might. This might just happen in 2023 if the signs are anything to go by.

But for now, Edo is indeed not Lagos. Just as Lagos is certainly not Edo.

I heard enough this morning. The warning was hot!

Yes ooo Edo no be Lagos or any south Western State.

I totally agree with you. I'm not in support of those booing Ambode. but in all he didn't play smart enough in my opinion but not enough to boo him in anyway
