How Oshiomhole single-handedly gave Edo to PDP is God's plan.

Ondo State is a Yoruba state. It's time they say NO to slavery. If they want Liberation, we're here for them. We can't force liberation on anyone.

PDP is coming stronger for 2023.

God bless Edo
God bless Obaseki




Shame on Ambode!

Nwaide01:
You guys will just sit behind your keyboard and be typing rubbish, south east the poverty capital of the South, which south east state have been to?and which criteria do you use to arrive at this your permutation? is it money, housing, roads, education or what because I don't know any region in Nigeria that ranks above the SE in the above mentioned criteria.

Things can only change in the case of uncertainty not when the map is open

Would Philip force himself on pdp Edo

PDP that has made SE the poverty capital of the south is the liberation you're talking about?

OBASEKI should remain in PDP and rather play UMAHI's style of politics to avoid betrayal.

20. And on the day of reckoning more votes had been casted for Godwin than for Iyamu and he had been crowned governor to reign in Adam’s stead.
21. Behold, at about the second year of the reign of Godwin, and like a dream of the night, after the feast of the old year, the new governor and old governor saw discord together.
22. The new Governor had called upon the people saying, ” he wants your gold and Silver and I said nay!!!. No man shall be god over this land, for this is the very cause ye fought for in your reign, and I say it shall stand.
23. And when it came to the ear of Adams the son of Oshomiole, what the new governor had done. He had cried with a loud voice..
24. “A traitor is on the throne!!. therefore shall my eyes not be allowed to behold the ungodly stand in judgement for long.
25.for yes! he has bitten the finger that fed him bread. And his reign must be seized!. Another four years thou will not go!
26. And Godwin the son of obaseki had responded, “I shall go another.
27. On the fourth year of the month and on the day when a new adversary was to be chosen to travail with Obaseki. Iyamu had come forth and said “here I am, I will go. And Adams spake softly saying ” I am with you.
28. Now the people of the city had rent their clothes and thrown forth their voice in desolation saying to the Adams the son of Oshomiole, who shall we go with?.
29. Whom shall we believe? For the Lord God is not the author of confusion, a man whom ye called a leper yesterday, how turneth he now an angel? And the one whom ye called a messiah the day before, how turneth he now leper?.
30. For dignity is not like the sun that comes and goeth. Or like the leopard spots, or like the stars, or the changing seasons. Dignity is like the word of the Lord that endureth forever.
31. And it came to pass after these things, that election was held throughout the province of the ancient city on the nineteenth day in the month of September in the year of corona A.D in the reign of Oba Ewaure 11,
32. that the people of Edo decided that light should defeat darkness and godfatherism casted into the bottomless pit.
33. And, Lo The Lord blessed Godwin the son of Nogheghase, the son of Obaseki with more votes over his contenders from the plain of Benin to Esan and across river Ikpoba unto Owan, Etsako and unto Akoko Edo.
34. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of David, which saith, God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

I watched AIT interview of Wike and he dodged speaking ill of Tinubu throughout the interview.

From that moment, I've been suspecting Wike.

Maybe he's interested in cutting dealings with Tinubu before 2023.

These are the types of comments the irritates us as Yorubas. What do you mean that you want to liberate us? Thats insulting, we are the one in pole position to liberate any tribe in Nigeria.

*The Book of Edo Chapter 1 vs 1 – 34.*

1. Now, it came to pass, In that period when men chose their rulers, after the reign of Lucky the son of Igbenedion. A certain man arose from the mount of Auchi whose name was Adams the son of Oshomiole.
2. It was he who was the chief of the publicans and a leader of labour. Later he had become Governor over all the province. And Adams abode as governor for eight years in Edo.
3. Behold, during his reign, the man Adams had excelled in speech and uttered many fierce and lofty words.
4. And his oration was honey and wine to the hearts of the people.
5. He ruled the city with a mighty hand and prophesied with a loud voice unto the four walls of the cities; the North, the South, East and West, saying;
6. “Woe unto the godfathers and naysayers and oligarchies, to the men who have exalted themselves over this city as gods over men.
7. “Again I say woe onto them. “For as the day wipeth out the night, I Adams the son of Oshomiole shall flush out their reigns, and seize their loin cloth.
8 “With a heavy rod shall I chase them out, and they shall run. I shall break their brass gates, and set their iron bars asunder. And it was so.
9. That at the end of the eight year, wherefore Oshomiole was to complete his reign, a man called Godwin the son of Obaseki had exalted himself saying, "I will be governor.
10. At the same time, Iyamu the son of Ize had also exalted himself and said i will be governor.
11. Adams had looked up the face of Obaseki and took his hand and kissed it and spake with a voice saying “fear not, for I am with you, oh thy faithful servant, I shall bear you upon my wings, thy mouth shall speak good tidings, and in my stead thou shalt reign.
12. And it came to pass, when the due season for contest came. Adams and Godwin went together in one accord, to the outskirts of the cities to the tabernacles, to the villages, and to every field.
13. Lo, Adams had held his companion's hand saying with a loud voice; “Oh cities of Edo hear ye my counsel, Oh land of my inheritance, bear thy comrade’s witness, for this is the man whom thou shall vote for, a faithful and just man!
14. “Begone from the man Iyamu for he is vain and double faced.
15. Cast not thy votes for him for his mouth is slack.
16 Ye! he has put on the loin cloth of a saint but his heart is darker than widow’s ash.
17. Withdraw your firstborn sons from him, for he dines in the devil’s cult.
18. Withdraw thy daughters, for he is a deformer!
19. And it came to pass that many people had hearkened unto the voice of Adams the son of Oshomiole.
20. And on the day of reckoning more votes had been casted for Godwin than for Iyamu and he had been crowned governor to reign in Adam’s stead.
21. Behold, at about the second year of the reign of Godwin, and like a dream of the night, after the feast of the old year, the new governor and old governor saw discord together.
22. The new Governor had called upon the people saying, ” he wants your gold and Silver and I said nay!!!. No man shall be god over this land, for this is the very cause ye fought for in your reign, and I say it shall stand.
23. And when it came to the ear of Adams the son of Oshomiole, what the new governor had done. He had cried with a loud voice..
24. “A traitor is on the throne!!. therefore shall my eyes not be allowed to behold the ungodly stand in judgement for long.
25.for yes! he has bitten the finger that fed him bread. And his reign must be seized!. Another four years thou will not go!
26. And Godwin the son of obaseki had responded, “I shall go another.
27. On the fourth year of the month and on the day when a new adversary was to be chosen to travail with Obaseki. Iyamu had come forth and said “here I am, I will go. And Adams spake softly saying ” I am with you.
28. Now the people of the city had rent their clothes and thrown forth their voice in desolation saying to the Adams the son of Oshomiole, who shall we go with?.
29. Whom shall we believe? For the Lord God is not the author of confusion, a man whom ye called a leper yesterday, how turneth he now an angel? And the one whom ye called a messiah the day before, how turneth he now leper?.
30. For dignity is not like the sun that comes and goeth. Or like the leopard spots, or like the stars, or the changing seasons. Dignity is like the word of the Lord that endureth forever.
31. And it came to pass after these things, that election was held throughout the province of the ancient city on the nineteenth day in the month of September in the year of corona A.D in the reign of Oba Ewaure 11,
32. that the people of Edo decided that light should defeat darkness and godfatherism casted into the bottomless pit.
33. And, Lo The Lord blessed Godwin the son of Nogheghase, the son of Obaseki with more votes over his contenders from the plain of Benin to Esan and across river Ikpoba unto Owan, Etsako and unto Akoko Edo.
34. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of David, which saith, God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

Awol1:
The just concluded Edo governorship election defied several permutation and expectations of violence and Federal highhandedness to become one of the most credible, free, fair and violence free election Nigeria has ever had.

So many people have lent their voice on what they think must have made this possible, with some attributing it majorly to US visa ban and UK/EU threat of Visa ban and asset seizure.

Now, while not ruling out the role of the international community in making the election peaceful and credible, there's need to look at some local factors and political calculations that may have influenced the trajectory of the election.

First, the gang-up of some progressive governors against rediculing of sitting governors by powerful forces within the party. After it happened to Ambode, Oshiomole wanted to repeat it with Obaseki which prompted the protest of some of the APC governors who finally succeeded in booting out Oshiomole from the party Chairmanship. There's nogainsaying that some of these governors were still sympathetic to Obaseki's plight.

Second, with the tussle for 2023 already reaching a crescendo within the ruling party, APC has been dangerously divided into two, if not more, camps. The Tinubu camp and the Amaechi camp. Obaseki stood against the Tunubu camp which made him draw bulk of his support from the Amaechi camp even though he was in an opposition party. The idea of the Amaechi camp is to whittle down Tinubu's influence before the 2023 elections so as to boost their own chances.

Now, with both camps having their degree of relationship with the president, it's possible that it is the reason the Federal Govt chose to play neutral and let the people of Edo decide the fate of the two camps.

The big question however is, to what end? If politics is a game of interest like it's been severally defined, one will therefore not be wrong to think that there must be something in it for the Camp of APC that supported Obaseki. And if we recall, even after his defection from APC to PDP, Obaseki once released a video of him on a video call with the president. Doesnt all these things beg some questions?

So, considering that Obaseki seems to have left APC but those in APC didn't leave him, his touted cordial relationship with the president, and how agencies of govt involved in the elections maintained neutrality which aided his reelection, do you see Obaseki remaining in the PDP that went all out for him or do you see him returning to APC?

AWOL is a Nairalander and a servant to reason.

Expect a new Supreme Court Governor in few months time.

shame no dey catch you? well - you are going through the phases of grief

PHASE 1 : DENIAL

Racoon:
The APC in Edo state & @ national level is currently enmeshed in multi-prongs crisis that it will take eternity to resolve.Even the primary that produced Ize Iyamu is still being contested in court.

So the worst mistake Godswin Obaseki can do is to defect back to the APC with a popular mandate that providence brought his way last Saturday.He will forever regret it.This is politics anyway where anything can happen.

Mikecold:
He would remain because apc is soaked in so many crisis local and national.

The deal was that Esan step down the turn they were supposed to have this year in pdp and get it in 2024

Why I go shame, when Obaseki and PDP rigged the election.
