I won't be surprised APC is behind this.

Say no to drugs

garfield1:


Lol,we know who is actually displaying foolishness in public glare.after reading what Akpata said clearly,you still blurted out nonsense.clap for yourself.do you know the facts of the matter more than the victim? It is better to remain silence than to talk balderdash

U think Naira20 watched it? Person wen never fit eat had MB to watch?

Penguin2:

The spread is where I think Akpata miscalculated. Because I really don’t understand the political capital that the woman he chose as running mate is bringing to his ticket.

But should LP get the simple majority and fail to get the spread and things go to run-off, you know it would be easy victory for Akpata especially if he’s up against Okpebholo.

See, I don’t think Edo people are ready to vote APC again.

True if akpata goes on a rerun against APC,he will win as pdp will prefer lp than APC.if he goes against ighodalo,he will also win as APC will prefer lp winning than obaseki stooge winning.i think lp only path is getting the highest votes to force a rerun.
Akpata miscalculated by choosing a useless running mate.he should have chosen a more popular politician like sergius Ogun or the rice man or even from the north he could have approached strong men like alimikhena or adjoto.in politics, you will have to align with people you hate to win.this is where APC is the best.tinubu and buhari loathe each other but aligned to get power.okpebholo wanted hon ihama but reluctantly choose idahosa inorder to brighten his chances.

You are not from Edo so you cannot say the people don't want to vote APC.they might not like APC but it is not as if they like pdp.edo people may not like APC as a party but their best governor was from APC.they do not like godfatherism which pdp represents and a lot of people secretly admire okpebholo for defeating oshiomhole.
The 2023 elections showed that they are ready to vote APC if they bring the right candidates.you said okpebholo won through zoning.hon okojie had more votes than lp and pdp combined to win a rep seats in esan.is that zoning? The then speaker onobun won APC by less than 1000 votes after a rerun.out of the 5 assembly seats in esan,APC won 2 massively while pdp won the rest narrowly.same thing in the north.ss don't like godfatherism.bayelsa in 2019 hated APC but votrd lyon.that is what will happen even if it means voting lp

Big head obaseki is chewing more than he expected.....his own time will come!

Penguin2,you see how desperate and bad obaseki is? Two days ago, oshiomhole campaign trail was attacked in etsako.it is obvious obaseki has sensed defeat and is panicking

Only foooools & bastaaards will ever vote anything APC in any part of Nigeria again, talk less of Edo state!

garfield1:


He has lost out.but why are people even supporting that man

because he is the only NBA president who was able to say the truth to Buhari and faced the crop of northern NBA squarely, he has courage.

Elections are approaching, politicians are showing the violent demons in them. After elections they'll now tell Nigerians to "move on"

Na you wan defeat obaseki? The election is between APC and PDP. LP will come a distant 3rd. LP candidate is not popular and his tribe is a minority in Edo State

So Benin (Edo South) is now a minority in Edo.

Akpata miscalculated big time in his choice of deputy and I’m surprised he did that.

Sergius Ogun for instance is a brilliant and refined young man that would have come with a lot of political capital.

Rice Man too seems to have his little weight to throw around but Akpata ignored these guys and chose a non-entity. He hasn’t won the governorship and prioritizing someone who wouldn’t give him headache in power.

Or is it that he wanted to appeal to female voters? If that was his aim, I’m not seeing it happening because the woman he chose seems like she can only bring her own vote alone. It’s just like Datti to Obi’s ticket.

But I just saw a video of the Oba of Benin opening Akpata’s project yesterday. You know what that means? That’s a tacit endorsement. And once the Oba dispatches instruction for Benin people to vote Akpata, not even Idahosa nor the SSG running mate to Asue can change anything.

Fingers crossed sha!

Dude, Akpata is not a minority in Edo. A lot of Edo n'Ekue families are integral part of Benin. His late father was Commissioner of Education in Bendel State and later a chief at the palace of Oba of Benin as the Ima/Imaran/war general of Benin Kingdom. Oba of Benin does not award titles to those without very strong Edo ties, not even present or former Nigeria presidents, top politicians or even Joe Biden.

His father was also at Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) working with Buhari, late Dora Akunyili, etc.

The upgraded University of Education at Ekiadolor has been named after his father, late Chief Tayo Akpata.

Let's vote based on issues, capacity, ability to articulate manifesto and not ethnic or divide and rule stuff.

Some of them are just fools on this platform 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 How could someone call the tribe that owns the state a minority tribe. Edo South (Benin people) owns the state 80 percent. Others are just following their lead.

You are seeing it clearly.the oba can only support akpata discreetly he won't come out openly

Who asked you who will win the election? And who are you to say whether someone is from a minority or majority? Do election suppose to be looked from the prism of minority or majority?

You are a clearcut bigot. Tribalism has sliced your brian into particles. We don't need your type in this age and onward.

His father was a palace chief and very good one too.

Oba knows how dirty politics is and as a seasoned diplomat, he only advises politicians.

Oba will not instruct anybody who to vote.

Nobody does tacit support. Edo has some of the most sophisticated voters. What we saw in Benin, Lagos and Abuja in 2023 presidential election were not instructed by Oba of Benin. Those three places just have some of the most single-minded, educated and sophisticated voters. This is the future trend where politicians must sit up and take the youth seriously.

He will benefit from his late father goodwill and take a chunk of Benin votes paving way for APC

Of course! None of the first class traditional rulers has ever supported anyone openly.

Not even Sanusi was as direct in his support for Abba in 2019 which later cost him his throne.

But agreeing to commission Akpata’s project in this point in time speaks louder than even the Oba appearing on CNN to endorse him.

The people of Benin will vote Akpata.

I won't mind akpata winning honestly.the obong of calabar supported prince since 2011 but never came out openly....I think akpata can still substitute his running mate

Ẹdo state LP infighting, no more no less.

He is not the chosen one of LP members on ground and those ones are fighting back.

They don't expect to win the elections but they expect to see some cashout money before Abure gulps it all.

there are some minors in nairaland

Don't blame anybody and start looking for pity votes... Take responsibility and hold your aggrieved members responsible.
Crying and looking for pity will not win you votes...

Nothing must happen to the Edo State incoming governor.
Olumide Akpata, God is with you.

Look at increased cost of living
Look at sufferings
Look at electricity tariffs

Wtf!

After all attacks and winning election for whoever the stoog is, they will still dispose him. Ask wike and Kaduna governor's. Let's allow the people to choose who leads them.
