I Can’t Hand Over Edo State To An Unintelligent Man – Governor Obaseki by Gjrich(op): 9:15am On Sep 05, 2024
Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has said he can’t hand over to an unintelligent person.

Obaseki said this during the Peoples Democratic Party’s campaign in Akoko-Edo Local Government Area of the State to canvass votes for the party’s candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo, in the September 21 election.

According to him, the PDP has the best candidate in the election, urging the people to vote for credibility and competence.

Obaseki said his government has pursued reforms in education, agriculture, sports, technology, and health, among others,

These gains and successes would be derailed if left in the hands of an unintelligent, inexperienced or incompetent person whose only aim in power is to share the common patrimony of the people among the political class”.

“We have reformed the education sector through the EdoBEST programme and ensured your daughter headed the State’s Edo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB). We can’t hand over EdoBEST to unintelligent people.”

On his part, Ighodalo charged the electoral umpire on free, fair, and credible polls in the State.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu said he will support free, fair and credible elections as he is a democrat that believes in the credible process,” he said.

What a silly statement from a supposedly intelligent person.
It is not up to you to choose who to hand over to. You have completed your tenure.

Does he have power to choose who to handover to outside INEC winner declaration?

I don't understand. Is this not supposed to be a democracy? Is it not the good people of Edo state that will decide who will govern them at the polls? What do you mean you can't hand over, as if Edo is your personal property?

This is one of the most absurd and preposterous statement coming from someone who should guard his utterances. The so-called democracy has been made a joke in this part of the world.

I don't understand, is he outrightly saying that their votes will not count? And what makes him think he was the most intelligent man when he contested?

Same thing you were fighting oshomole for. You want to be the godfather in Edo state.

It is not for you to decide who become the governor after you, let the people choose whoever they want. That is why it's democracy.
Re: I Can’t Hand Over Edo State To An Unintelligent Man – Governor Obaseki by tishbite42: 9:41am On Sep 05, 2024
The audacity, guts and nerve to make this senseless statement.
Is he handing over the keys of his house or what?!
The people will make their choice.

Coming from an Obaseki who couldn't credit Mathematics and English Language in his O'Levels but somehow managed to get admitted into the University of Ibadan.

Chai!
The APC man is a blockhead though

What is the relevance of democracy when the option is an incompetent candidate?

Democracy does start and end at the election booth, but at the stage when a candidate is selected by a political party and the conduct of a political party to select a competent candidate.

It might be undemocratic, but if the potential candidate is flawed and limited, then undemocratic decisions are necessary. Had Nigerians stopped the transfer of power to the incompetent Buhari and Tinubu (APC), then the country would not be in freefall today. It was obvious that Buhari was incompetent, and Tinubu was a known criminal and a hopeless case.
Re: I Can’t Hand Over Edo State To An Unintelligent Man – Governor Obaseki by Solidex(m):
He has obviously made himself the sole Power broker in Edo state, forgetting that the onus to decide who governs the state, lies with the people.
He can only recommend a candidate, if he deems such person fit to deliver on the given mandate. He statement was rather dictatorial, and should be condemned in it entirety.
