Na wa ooooo, see haters. Love him or hate, he is a victor. The man has done something never before seen in Nigerian politics.

There were 1.6 million registered voters and only 600,000 voted. Common sense. All these babies on nairaland politics section. Always ranting without thinking.

I heard on radio that PDP are threatening to file a case against him and they also said the dude is not qualified to govern Edo state, stressing that he had only standard six cert and other certs on labour-related professional courses which they said can't be equated to mininum required Sec. School cert set by INEC as one of the determinants of candidates' eligibility to contest for guber position in Nigeria. Who knows? Maybe they{PDP} will make a good case outta it.

GEJ and Oshiom-hole(like my oyibo friend will call him) are good pals. He wholeheartedly supported and campaigned for GEJ's candidacy during the presidential elections last year. I don't see any cogent reason why GEJ would wanna backstab him
Re: I Would Have Won With A Wider Margin – Oshiomhole by basadenet: 12:50pm On Jul 17, 2012
After winning the election he still have the effrontery to complain about Margin. Is it not the same Oshiomole that was tongue lashing Prof Atahiru Jega, accusing him of trying to rig him out. Power they sweet like honey.
May God forgive Adams Oshiomole.
Re: I Would Have Won With A Wider Margin – Oshiomhole by aikuda(m): 1:11pm On Jul 17, 2012
I don't mean to insult anyone, but I have to say that there are very many daft comments being made regarding this issue. Do people even read before making comments? They asked him a question and he responded. Which one is talk too much. Besides how is what he is saying not registering. He said it is not about just winning the election. That it should be about the process of the election, and that perhaps he may have had a wider margin if INEC did their job properly. He was looking at from broader perspective of the way elections are conducted in Nigeria. As he rightly said, this about the future of democracy in Nigeria. He said being a governor is not big of a deal as having true democracy in the country.

Come to think of, how is it possible that Benin city will not have election materials when villages 2 to 3 hours from Benin will have election materials. And you are supposed to pass through Benin before you get those villages. Could it be that it is because Oshiomoles base is stronger in bein with over 55% of to voters? How What excuse does INEC have not being able to properly conduct election in just one state? If you read the comments properly, you probably will make more sense when you repsond.

@Okija Juju.

I am not surprised at your comment. U have already called yourself juju. Never in your life mention Yoruba like that, any way you belong tp a tribe that borrow from others. Who talks more than the Ibos who:
(1) Has no leader- all of them want to be number 1- Ochendo 1, Omalicha 1, blalala 1;
(2) All of them talk before they think- Ojukwu started a war he could not finish, wasted lives and ran away;
(3) All of them are group of criminals and robbers-Nzeribe, to Okadigbo, Payus Ayim, etc.

Set of idiots. Pls if you want respect for your tribe pls learn how to respect others.

supereagle: BARELY 24 hours after he was declared winner of the Saturday governorship poll, Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, said he would have won with a wider margin. The governor said this on Monday after a dramatic appearance at the Presidential Villa.

Oshiomhole arrived at the Council Chambers while the swearing-in of the new Chief Justice of Nigeria, Aloma Mukhtar, was rounding off and stood at the entrance where attendees at the inauguration of Mukhtar congratulated the re-elected Edo governor for his victory at the poll.

Dignitaries, including minister and chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party whose candidate was defeated in the election, took turns to shake hands with Oshiomhole.

The Edo governor followed then President Goodluck Jonathan back to his office. He entered the President’s office at 11.30 am and came out 30 minutes after.

The details of the governor’s meeting with the President were not made known to journalists.

While briefing journalists after his closed door session with the President on Monday, Oshiomhole boasted that but for the initial hiccups recorded in the early stage of the Saturday election, he would have won with a wider margin.

“The number could have been higher than that if materials had arrived at 8am…but for the fact that people had strong passion, strong commitment to vote for me, when they waited for four hours they would have gone home

The former labour leader commended President Jonathan on his stance on free and fair elections.

He said the Edo case was a proof that the nation was capable of organising credible elections.

He said, “For me, what the Edo election has confirmed is that when the President and Commander-in-Chief puts the country first and foremost conducts himself as a statesman and not just a party leader, credible elections are possible.

“People were apprehensive that the Nigerian Army could be misused. But of course I told them I didn’t think they were right because the President gave a clear directive that the votes must count. He warned that there would be no rigging, no manipulation, no ballot snatching and orders were given to the army to ensure none of those things happened and the Army carried out the order.”

The governor faulted the arguments by some people that he was hasty in criticising the conduct of the election before he was later declared winner, saying, “the fact that you got home safely does not mean you should not investigate an accident scene.”

He said he had to cry out on time because he heard before the election that some leaders of an unnamed opposition party agreed that they would work on some officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission to delay the supply of electoral materials to areas known as his stronghold.

The plan, according to him, was to frustrate those who might want to vote for him and force them to return home after waiting in the queue for hours.

He said, “When you see things like this happening, one should not keep quiet until after one’s death; then a professor of anatomy will go and establish the possible causes of death?

“If you have been a victim of election rigging, you will know that it doesn’t make sense to see people rigging you out and you keep quiet because you do not want to raise the alarm.

“In every battle, you take pre-emptive steps because it can make all the difference. Medicine after death doesn’t make sense except to foolish people and I am not a foolish man.”

Oshiomhole had on Sunday, moments after he was declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission, heaped praises on Jonathan whom he described as a “statesman and man of honour” for keeping to his words to allow peaceful election in Edo.

He polled a total of 477,478 votes as against the PDP’s Maj.-Gen.Charles Airhiavbere’s 144, 325 votes.

Airhiavbere meanwhile on Monday said he would not congratulate Oshiomhole because the governor had faulted the election process before he was declared winner.

He said, “I won’t fully comment on the election because the acclaimed winner had earlier in the day condemned the electoral system, he condemned the chairman of INEC for the process that has not ended.

“That process at the end of the day declared him the winner. I will observe in the next few days before I make my comment. It could have been easy to congratulate him but he also had pre-empted the system that brought him.”

Ah! common Osho baba leave it alone, you have already won and thats all that matters, even if its only by a vote. I dont really see any point further blowing ur trumpet. CONGRATS MAN! You deserve what you got.
Why the hell does the pdp flagbearer keep calling his governor "ACCLAIMED WINNER"? This guy must be HIGH ON MILITARY PUSH-UPS or something.
