WhizdomXX:
The apathy in Nigeria's elections is getting two much. Come to think of it how can barely 530,000 people decide the future of a State with over 5 million. 10% of the State is determine the future of 100% of the State's residents. A western observer would assume they're disenfranchised but we all know it's because majority Nigerians no longer trust the government/politicians be ye APC or PDP. This is bad. Average turnout for an election should be 67%(2/3). Anything short of that shows apathy, higher figures show a good democratic governance interested citizenry and that is how we want Nigeria's election to be like.

NIGERIA MUST BE GREAT AGAIN. GOD HELP US

Once again, congrats to Mr. Godwin Obaseki

Dude as things are going, soon only politicians, their families and hangers-on will be voting.

But politicians are too busy grabbing money to see the danger in it. First is apathy, then protest followed by revolution.

Confidence in politicians mirrored in voters' turn out ebbing by over 5% in 4 years, Extremely bad.

People are losing interest in Nigeria's political failures and hence apathy in electorate or voting became inevitable.

Nna eh! No qualms

This is so unsophisticated

you always say this in nearly every thread.
Is that all you got?

Osho baba will always have my respect all day every day. Sad that whenever a great leader goes through some rough patch, even those beneath him would have the guts to say all sorts. Buhari could have lost three times prior to 2015, does that make him irrelevant?. He brought Obaseki out of obscurity & for which he would forever be indebted to Oshiomole. Obaseki will never come close to Osho's political landmarks. When Obaseki ends his tenure, he would go back to being a school boy just like Peter Obi.

kiss the truth!

From what obscurity if I may ask? Do you know the meaning of the word obscurity? Do you know the Obaseki family in Benin? Let me mention a few 1. Jackson Gaius Obaseki 2. Late Dr.Owen Obaseki 3. Pedro Obaseki 4. Late Justice Otutu Obaseki(of the supreme court of Nigeria)kindly Google these names.
Back to your write up Prior to becoming Governor Obaseki has already been doing well for himself in the private sector he and his friends supported Oshoimole in 2007 same way Oshomoile supported him, he's not in anyway indebted to him(Oshomoile). After all show me a successful person in life and politics that was not assisted in one way or the other.

I rise

Just because Buhari compromised APC Edo for Obaseki to have a second term as agreed this people won't stop making noise

Emeka Ihedioha and Imo State people made mouth more than what Obaseki is making now, and we know how he was disgraced at the tribunals


.

Trash!

If Not for federal Might and irregularities in previous Edo state elections... Edo state has always been PDP imaging a whole EDO central the Esans PDP 5/5.. Nobody knew that this election was going to be free and fair..We were thinking that Oshomole was going to do some magic in other to make the garri rise.. So most of us lost interest.. I bet you if INEC will conduct election this free and fair nobody will be left at home.. Everyone will come out and vote.

Nbotee:
The summary of the whole story is dat Oshobaba is now Oshopikin... All he always brought to the table was arrogance

After all he brought defeat to ur brother Jonathan nd Obituary Obi

He has done well Politically
Stop crying

voter apathy should be addressed by inec through political education. as it's said, the minority now decided for the majority. it's sad. so sad.

Lavisha:
it is finished for oshopikin.

He should just pak and go else Obaseki should banish him and kabaka to Kano state.


make Dem go sip tuwo masara with okro soup with alimajiri.

Edo no be LAGOS

In conclusion, Pastor Ize Iyamu can never win more than five local government in Edo State. In bridal shaggy's voice "Tank you"

fergie001:
In Summary, are you saying he was a passer-by in that election?

Pls ask him again and again because I don't understand all these empty noise.

Edo said No to godfatherism and bin apc with their devilish act pls end of story.

The next line of action is Ondo no be Lagos then next Osun no be Lagos and on and on. APC at the cetral had really upset Nigerians with their democratic junta regime and for these reason that party must be annihilated in Nigeria forever.

this is a good development....PDP next stop will be ondo state

Okay...

Cmanforall:
Okay... This is over. What next?

Ondo

Now Obaseki has sent him finally on political oblivion


Your home is incomplete without good quality furniture thats why we are here for you

anonimi:


This is terrible for our politics, especially with those who refuse being the greatest wailers for dividends of democracy. Democracy that they did not work for. Sowed nothing but want to reap something. Are they also thieves like the politicians they criticise?



Why should INEC do anything about it?
Moghalu, Ezekwesili, Utomi, Durotoye and the other jobless noisemakers should do that from now with massive sensitisation schemes instead of being emergency candidates six months to the lections.

What we have in Nigeria is selection and not election

And finally, Obaseki and Edo people defeated him... Pride comes before a fall.

IGNORANT Man, go and bury your head in shame! May I asked you, are you from Edo state? What do you know about Edo politics? Between Oshiomole and OBASEKI who should be grateful to each other? Where were you when Oshiomole was a common factory worker at Arewa Textiles Ltd, Kaduna? Who are those you think backed him up to become Union Secretary-General at both the local and National levels? -The Edo people, of course! Fast forward, where were you when Oshiomole ran to OBASEKI in 2007 for help? Or where were you when OBASEKI, through his connections and friends, raised over N300m to finance Oshiomole's governorship bid for Edo state and, he made sure Oshiomole won? Was that not what gave Oshiomole the courage to voiced that, "he had defeated GODFATHERISM in Edo state?" So, between Oshiomole and Obaseki who is now an ingrate? If you don't know something, you should always asked and STOP saying what you don't know.

You just kissed the lie..

Oshiomhole bit off more than he could chew but the report is too simplistic. In 2016 the local governments POI won were mostly from his Esan stronghold. in 2020 the local governments he won were from edo north oshiomhole's political base. if POI had won the local govts he delivered in 2016 he would have coasted to victory so saying adams was of no benefit to POI votes wise is a bit of a stretch
