Majorly, the fear of Visa ban is the beginning of free and fair elections.
This election was APC vs APC....
If you look deep... PDP is a cab used.


Elrufai camp vs tinubu camp....Removal of federal might is a good plan to provide level playing ground by pdp.

But, let's wait for ondo... if federal might isn't used, the change is crawling in...

The fear of USA VISA ban is the beginning of Nigerian politicians wisdom. If you know you know.

Ordinary visa ban is too trivial to stop a desperate Nigerian politician from grabbing power & getting his hands in the public treasury.
Is the US the only country on earth?

God bless President Buhari for giving us the freest, fairest, most peaceful & transparent election since return to democracy.

Congratulations to Obaseki & the PDP.

Truly Edo is not Lagos.


you call ordinary visa ban odrinary when a politician has cash, monetary, house investments in the states and uk and you say he would not comport when he is threatened with this belongings? Buhari did not do anything here. dont praise him. if Buhari did, it must have been also fear of being banned from the UK to visit his doctors.

It's crystal clear Obaseki was humiliated and oppressed by that short man, Edo people just voted Pdp to show Edo no be Lagos. Apc candidate lost cos of the support from the wrong people. No influence cos it's clear Edo people self no get joy, any rubbish will lead to big problem in Edo.

Seriousness of the USA in her determination to restrict any erring political actor entrance played a major role for the seemingly peaceful Election

Buhari wasn't responsible for the free and fair election in Edo State. The visa ban did the magic.

Everyone knows that the US, the UK and the EU have the best medical facilities in the world. If the US bans them, automatically these other Western countries may follow suit. So, Buhari was even afraid that the visa ban might get to him.

Also, it's a dent on his image that he benefitted from a free and fair election, but cannot guarantee it. Even his speech to the North Eastern states governors recently that he could have used the security agencies to prevent the opposition from winning elections had negated your point that it was Buhari who willingly allowed a free and fair election in Edo State. Of course, these Western world powers heard that speech.

Therefore, he was afraid that he might be their target if he failed to do the right thing.

Besides, this wasn't the freest, fairest and most credible election since the return to democracy. The 2009 Anambra gubernatorial election was the freest, fairest, most credible and rancour-free since the return to democracy. There was no ballot box snatching and even vote buying didn't take place. And Peter Obi emerged victorious. People listened to Ojukwu when he campaigned that Peter Obi was the credible candidate he could vouch for.

The ban is not trivial as you think. US has allies that will follow suit with such type of bans. This time it is just visa ban. Next time, iran type of sanction might follow and nigeria will just pack up.


hi bro. what kind of sanction could that be? id love to learn

Our politicians heaven on earth is traveling abroad. And if the US can issue such serious warning, other countries like the UK and EU will follow suit.

Hence, our politicians have to comply in other to apeal the already ban. Lols.

Edo no be Lagos.



But Lagos is far better than Edo on infrastructure and leadership. So what do you prefer for responsive leadership, Edo or Lagos?

When you are banned from entering these developed countries in Europe and Americas, your properties are flagged. You can't sell it, and so many other restrictions. These thieves have a lot to lose.

Edo was peaceful simply because they were afraid of the ban

From all indications, Obaseki has won this election but two things stood out unexpectedly

1. It was generally peaceful

2. There was zero federal might influence.

What do you think is the reason behind this?

I would hazard a guess and I am open to correction.

A: The U.S visa ban restricted federal influence, which Oshiomole, Ganduje and Tinubu were banking on. I was on twitter when I read that order has been given that there should be no interference in the election. This was why, after votes at the PU were done, all security agents, from Army to Police and others LEFT.

B. The Oba of Benin meeting. Before the election, Oba invited both contestants for a meeting where he specifically warned against violence in whatever form. I often read from outsiders that Oba of Benin is just like any oba out there but what majority do not know is the weight the Oba of Benin carries among his people and this election further proved that.

Since the APC took power, this is the most peaceful election we have had...

The question is WHY?

Please join the discussion and I would like to learn from other persons and correct me where you feel I am wrong.

You can imagine your stupidity, thought you quoted you were on Twitter and got the information or Order from above that no one should rig the election.

So Twitter app can make such statement? Or it was your deluded mind telling you crazy shit.

Go back and listen again, the voice that said no rigging should tell you why.

Absence of federal might is a huge contribution followed by the international warning/threat

Biggest congratulation to buhari.
He is a military general but behaved honourably. Obasanjo and others were chronic riggers.

Little rigging would have tilted the result in favour of apc.

Welldone also to INEC.

I will summarise the as nswer as follow.
1. In Edo, the word of the Oba is Supreme. He spoke and we his subjects listened.
2. The fear of the US/UK Visa ban made election riggers to sit up.
3. The people believed that Obaseki was unduelly screened out by Oshiomhole hence protest the votes.
4. Eternal vigilance on the part of PDP by setting up the situation room to monitor results from polling units.
5. EDO people had to prove that power belong to the people
6. EDO NOR BE LAGOS

This a clear statement to the Jagaban of Bougu to watch his back, the good of people Lagos won't forever tolerate his excesses.

Yusman316:

How many times have u seen PMB go to the U.S apart from to attend meetings? One thing PMB doesn't do is meddle in elections or impose candidates. All what we have been seeing are handiwork of desperate politicians. His short coming is not clamping down on culpable characters from both his party and the opposition
his life is in UK. A US visa ban is equivalent to UK ban.

Don't shiiit yourself

All of these things which has said is kind of rubbish the truth of the matter is people in Nigeria are suffered most people do not even have food to eat so how do you want them to vote for APC

Uncleodi:



You forgot to add the Absence of Abba Kyari
he was Tinubu enemy.. So, it could have been same.

The North is playing politics with S.W bro.

Watch as they will destroy the APC image making it hard for people to trust it and alternatively giving PDP and Atiku power.

Watch as they will eventually queue up behind Atiku in 2023

All their money is stack abroad, if you ban them how them go take reach the money. Beside buhari knows he is not too fine, if they ban him, how will he treat himself
Re: Edo: What Caused The Peaceful Outcome Of The Election & Federal Might Absence? by stagger: 6:24pm On Sep 20, 2020
The visa ban by the US and possibility of UK, EU and other top countries extending it was a serious deterrence. No one wants to be on a US watchlist, especially if you have foreign assets.

Any Nigerian politician's nightmare is that they can wake up one day and all their assets are seized. Buhari's currency change of 1984 impoverished many politicians of that era. So imagine a foreign government like the US declaring you persona non grata, with a hanging cloud of asset seizure, and then in future a president emerging that starts a major clean up like Murtala Muhammed did in 1975.
Re: Edo: What Caused The Peaceful Outcome Of The Election & Federal Might Absence? by backbone503(m): 6:24pm On Sep 20, 2020
Forget US, UK or EU ban. The election was between a candidate of Buhari led APC against that of Tunubu led APC. The victory is for Buhari, that's why the election was like that.

PDP should expect a very different ball game in Ondo.

Take it or leave it, the zero Federal influence is simply to humiliate and demystify both Tinubu and Oshiomole.

Buhari is damn happy at the moment.

BTW, Congrats to the good people of Edo state. You all made it possible.
