the constitution has been amended m he can only complete a term. This is his last term

Mr Enang also announced that an amendment to bill number 16, already assented to by the President, will now ensure that a vice President or a deputy governor who succeeds and completes the tenure of a president or governor can only run for the office one more time.

“The other one is Act or Bill number 16 which is now an act and the intent of that act is to ensure that where a Vice President succeeds that president and where a deputy governor succeeds a governor, he can no more contest for that office more than once more.

“And the fact is that having taken the oath as President once, and you can only contest for once again and no more. That is the intent of this amendment.”

Before this assent, such vice presidents or deputy governors, after completion of their predecessors’ term can run for office on another two terms.

This was the case with former President Goodluck Jonathan who succeeded President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua in 2010, contested and won the presidential election in 2011 and still contested same office in 2015.

The new law will prohibit this, Mr Enang announced.

It was assented to law under fPMB in June, 2018. Thank you for the information sir. God bless you sir!

It's well! Yoruba people used to be intelligent both educated and non educated. But today, the reverse is the case. An elderly woman in Oka Akoko actually casts her vote for APC because of inducement, the APC agents refused to compensate the woman which resulted into fight. The incident happened at my pooling unit. When i was growing up as a little boy,we were taught to be contented with what we have. Today, elders who supposed to be role model to the young one are more corrupt. Maybe due to poverty in the land or what! What can 5k APC induced money buy in today's Tinubu regime. Truly, poverty is a disease

And PDP never induced voters with money? C'mon, we can all pretend like we don't know the reality. Both major leading political have been doing this since the 4th Republic started.
And we all know the party in power will have more financial strength, than some trying to find his way to begin his own stealing of our collective patrimony.
Had it been they're both trying to contest for the first time, the outgoing Governor won't like to take much gamble from what he has stolen, he man who's trying to succeed him will needs like 80% contributions to his own personal ambition. This is where Hon. Ajayi is at a disadvantage, 'cos Gov. Aiyedatiwa got direct access to State funds.
Because I know Hon. Alfred Agboola Ajayi is a grassroots man too.
Hopefully, he can now relax since Ajayi has been in the system since 1999. Gov. Lucky just came in 2011. 😆😊

Bigboytinz:
Normally all the politicians in Ondo would support the governor knowing that he is only going to do a term more. Same thing happened to Harris in America. Trump was definitely supported by all parties directly and indirectly knowing fully well he would only do a term 😐😐

How? When former President GEJ was sworn-in as the President after the demise of Late President Umaru Musa Yar'adua, he seeks for his own election which he got in 2011 but got defeated in 2015 after seeking for re-election. So, ho will Gov. Lucky Aiyedatiwa own be different?
I believed he completed his joint ticket term with Later Governor Aketi. Now, he's contesting freshly for his first term in office.
I seek for clarity from you, thank you sir.

Atiku is bigger than him electorally so he stands no chance of winning and he knows it.

If he gives Atiku the ticket and Atiku selects Obi, decamping of senators can afford kwankwaso the desired majority to emerge senate president in the Red chamber. Even party national chairmanship should Atiku and Obi win is still a bigger cake than a senator of a district.

Lol, Your Almighty Atiku that can't even defeat RMK during 2014 APC Presidential primaries in Lagos that produced fPMB as the flagbearer of the party. Hope you remembered Atiku Abubakar came distant third with his Dollars? 😂 Oga, you're overating Alhaji AA, but all that's still working for him is the financial war chest in his possession..

After them collect 10k they will start crying country I hard forgetting they have eaten their right which is not up to 5 mudu of rice to be eaten for 4 years.

Why una no calculate PDP own join? Na 15K. Irrespective how it seems you perturbed about the whole situation, we all know the puerile conditions of Nigerians presently, and you won't have advice them (eligible voters ) to let those crooked politicians take away the money and return it to their coffers, when you know they'll still steal from you whether you like it or not. Let them people of Ondo decides on the lesser evil amongst the candidates.

InfoGuru118:
Best analysis I have seen so far on this matter.

He should be a party man and allow another competent candidate from the other regions to take it.

PDP can win Ogun come 2027 if their house is in order.

By giving their Guber mandate to an Ẹ̀gbá man.

You're bereft of knowledge.
You not saying amen tells alot of how you're suffering and smiling, yet you've let tribalism eaten you so deeply.
If my moniker doesn't give you a clue that I'm a full Bini man to the core then it tells how foolish you really could be.
Emilikon slave.
I repeat, non of your family members can ever get to the level of Obaseki.
It's not a swear, it is the reality on ground.

Clever by half, Bini boy! You came up with tribal sentiments that has eaten deep to your bone marrow, and trying to look innocent here.
By the way, what is Obaseki level? Financial expert and State Governor? Which you believed none of your family members can never be, since you got low class relatives. Spits on your dumb face!
You believe everyone here on this platform ain't into corporate businesses. I love silly ass like you turning your dumbass self into a fortune teller. Just tell me more about one of your oppressor- Obaseki, since you worked for him or still working under him. A slowpoke thinking all politicians care about her citizenry!

southsouthking:
Are buying fuel differently from the price obi is buying?
Do you think you can ever get to his standard in life?

Are you okay with the way Nigeria is going?
God bless you should you answer this questions wholeheartedly.

Everyone got his standards.
PO can never gets to some people's standard in this life too.
You crying bitterly since last night over another State Elections which all political parties first attested to before seeing various PUs results.
You now here blaming a body for your misfortunes.
Are they the electorates that voted for their preferred candidates?
Political parties are just platforms, the more you know this the better.
Candidates marauding as imposter under the new platforms are not different from others.

Fashdeejay:
Why do you think these people are getting bolder? Ask yourself, who is the minister of defence!

Mohammed Badaru Abubakar.

senatordave1:
Are there from same LGA? I didn't see onolemenmen in the campaigns

Arc. Mike Onolememen is from Edo Central Senatorial District (Esan Land), which is the same district as Prince Odianosen Okojie. And he (Arc. Mike) decamped to the All Progressives Congress around November last year.

...

senatordave1:
Mike onolemenmen or prince Okojie

Arc. Mike Onolememen might be considered, and Prince Odianosen Okojie will serve out his term representing the noble people of Esan NE/Esan SE Federal Constituency.

Morizo:
They went to their hotel rooms and lock them up? Awesome 😎

YES..
Security agents locked them up till the voting hours ended.

emkz:
Well.

This is a smart move. Obaseki, in his power drunk stupor, even took on the Oba of Benin over the place to keep the looted artefacts that were to be returned.

Was that fight necessary?

When Oba of Benin called Oshiomole, Obaseki, Ize-Iyamu and Shaibu to make peace in 2020, only Obaseki attempted to gloat that he was the chief security officer of Edo State, and the Oba asked him to keep quiet as he was uninterested in hearing Obaseki's rantings.

Obaseki fought too many persons and even the palace became a factor in the politics.

Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama was seen in a video when he decamped saying he'd deliver Oredo to APC. Ogbeide-Ihama had relinquished his PDP ticket to Obaseki in 2020 only for Obaseki to fight him for control.
So let us ask Obaseki the following question:

How did Obaseki manage to lose the following persons:

(1) Adams Oshiomole?
(2) Nyesom Wike?
(3) Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama?
(4) Edo legacy PDP?
(5) Philip Shaibu?
(6) Benin Traditional Council?
(7) Dan Orbih?
(8 ) Anslem Ojezua?
(9) Edo elites?

What did Obaseki think he could accomplish with:

(1) Omobayo Marvelous Godwins?
(2) People who sing his praises a,d were too afraid to tell him the truth?

If there is any lesson to be learnt, it is to say if you have a huge financial war chest, but lack people skills, you won't be able to install a successor. Tinubu has been a successful politician because he possesses people skills.

Obaseki caused a rift between Oshiomole and Oshiomole's team when Oshiomole forced Obaseki on them. Obaseki humiliated Oshiomole when Oshiomole kicked him out of APC. PDP gave Obaseki succour only for Obaseki to mess up every one who worked for his second term. Obaseki ended up causing rancour in PDP, divided PDP and PDP went into election divided, as they were divided in the 2023 presidential election.

Obaseki's political enemies joined forces and we now see the result.

I don't know if he was a good governor. If he was, he'd have had the people on his side. If he was and had poor people skills, it would cost him severely.

Dear Governor Obaseki, who are your friends in Edo State? I mean real friends?

Succinctly put!
Even the likes of Hon. Omosede Gabriella Igbinedion.
Now I believe Hon. Omosede G. Igbinedion will be compensated with Denco's seat- Ovia NE/Ovia SW Federal Constituency, but don't know yet about to be vacant- Edo Central Senatorial seat of Akpakozima (The Home Boy).

osazsky:
tinubu will rule for 8,years even if a litre of fuel is 20k

That's the problem of the electorates, you included.
I vote for personalities and not about parties logos.
I'm not a supporter of any political parties because they all lack the ideologies to form a standard political parties, rather than just a mere platforms to seek for elective positions.
May God Almighty be with us irrespective of our political divisions.
I'm well read about political actors, and I know where to cast my votes when necessary.

osazsky:
u know nothing

Tell me what you know, father of Nigeria modern politics.

osazsky:
and who told u dat the election is a true reflection of the people's will..nor be innec

And they rigged over 275k+ votes.
Better to accept your party's loss, and stop living in self delusional grandeur.

Waterlilly:
I beg who win for Edo state election?

Senator Monday Okpehbolo of the All Progressives Congress.
MODEN to Osadebey House!

Ddeliverer007:
The results that will come from oredo and ikpoba okah will stun Nigeria.

Since everyone wants to start writing their results, let’s all start writing our results. If I was Obaseki, that’s exactly what I will do.

The results are already at the State collation center. Don't give yourself too much pressure, Ofonee!
Senator Monday Okpehbolo is the Governor-elect.
MODEN to Osadebey House!

hevlinotito:
