Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in this month’s election in Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has promised to tar the road leading to Eguaeholor, ancestral home of Governor Godwin Obaseki.


Okpebholo made the promise when he campaigned at Uhunmwonde Local Government Area at the weekend.

The candidate expressed shock that the main road leading to the governor’s ancestral home is not motorable as the campaign team had to park most of their vehicles and trekked the distance to access the campaign ground.

“I will make sure I tar this road immediately when I resume office as the governor of Edo State. I am highly disappointed that Obaseki’s administration neglected even his ancestral home,” he said.

At Ehor, headquarters of the LGA, he promised to revive the Ehor Juice Factory established by the Lucky Igbinedion administration, and make the Technical College in the area functional by providing the needed manpower and equipment for the school.

Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it has fixed September 12 for the signing of Peace Accord for the Edo Governorship election in Benin City.

INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, disclosed this at an extraordinary meeting with political parties on the 2024 Edo governorship election in Abuja.

Yakubu said that the date for the exercise would be presided over by the Chairman, National Peace Committee (NPC) and former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar.

“You may notice that unlike the previous peace accords signed a few days to the election, INEC decided to do this early this time around.

“This is to enable the Peace Committee to monitor compliance with the code voluntarily signed by parties, candidates and other critical players in the electoral process such as INEC and the security agencies during the remaining days to the election.

“This will add further weight to the peace accord beyond mere ceremony as demanded by many observers and even some of the political actors themselves,” he said

Yakubu urged political parties in the state to maintain decorum and civility in their campaigns and comply with the Commission’s Regulations and Guidelines for the conduct of rallies and processions.

He said that, so far, no political party had submitted to INEC the dates and locations of their major campaign rallies and processions to enable a better coordination of their campaign activities.

On the commission’s preparations for the election, Yakubu said that INEC had concluded the training of security personnel, while finalising the delivery of the few remaining non-sensitive materials for the election.

“We are concluding arrangements with the land and maritime transport unions for logistics.


“The printing of triplicate copies of voters’ register for each of the 4,519 Polling Units in Edo State is virtually completed.

“The installation and configuration of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machines to be deployed on election day is completed. Observer accreditation tags are being produced,” he said.

He also said that so far 88 media organisation had applied for the accreditation of 698 personnel, adding that the training of various categories of ad hoc staff would commence soon.

He, however, said that after harvesting the details of polling and collation agents uploaded to the portal for the Edo election, INEC discovered that there were compliance issues, particularly with quality of PU agents.

He said that the problem cuts across all political parties in spite assistance offered by INEC and the fact that the digital nomination was not being done for the first time.

“I want to emphasise that there will be no going back to the manual process. It is gone for good.

“Already, observer groups and media organisations are in full compliance with the digital procedure. Political parties cannot be an exception.

“We will only produce tags for uploads that meet the requirements of our regulations and guidelines,” Yakubu said.

In his remarks, IPAC Chairman, Yusuf Dantalle, urged INEC to remain neutral as an umpire in the Edo election.

He also urged the commission to ensure its election materials were adequate and ready for the tasks ahead, particularly the BVAS and IReV portals.

He said that the state gubernatorial poll would be a litmus test for the Ondo governorship and future elections in the country.

Dantalle added that the election offered leaders of political parties, the chance to restore confidence in the electoral process by ensuring the sanctity of the ballot box, and respect the mandate of the people.

He urged political parties and their candidates to imbibe issue-based campaigns that would unite the people and foster development and sustainable democracy.

“There is no place for politics of bitterness and violence that has impeded the nation’s hard earned democracy,” Dantalle said.

Still Cho Cho Cho. Go back to the post that led to this your Cho Cho Cho. The question was specific - 24/7 electricity. Did the hundreds of transformer he provided as constituency project provide 24/7 electricity as he promised? That was what the clip of the interview I mentioned was about. Focus on the subject here. Leave Cho Cho Cho.

Bobloco:
But you have been celebrating defectors from PDP who got no electoral value moving into the APC

Efuaye:
Then, Monday, who has been at the Senate now for over a year with nothing to show for it is the one to be trusted with the entire state?
Didn't you read that Oshiomhole did not make any meaningful contributions in the Senate, too, in the last year?
While I am not on ground in Edo state, my heart is with them, and I pray they don't make the mistake of electing a man who is bereft of ideas on what true governance is all about.

meum:
So did all these transformers give them 24/7 electricity? That is the main question that was asked in the interview I referenced. The question he was asked was based on his promise to provide 24/7 electricity to the people of Edo state. His response is what I shared earlier. Stop all these Cho Cho Cho.

Isokiscool:
That was how he argued blindly during the last delta state gubernatoral election and at the end APC failed woefully.He is just a busybody Calabar man

LLMG:
You should know that a lot of people don't want anything to do with the devilish/demonic
party called apc

meum:
I saw a video where his lord & saviour APC candidate was asked how he intends to delivery 24 hours electricity to Edo people as he promised. His response was hilarious & embarrassing. He said the only thing the people need is transformer & electric poles that if he can provide those two things why shouldn’t they have light?😂😂

He is a serving senator. What stops him from providing transformer & electric poles to the people he represents & watch them enjoy 24/7 electricity? Must he become governor to provide transformer? Let him start this experiment from his constituency let’s see the 24hours power supply there so the entire Edo population can trust him enough to deliver on this 24/7 electric power.

Well, that's just a shortlist, I am sure one of them will eventually be picked without any rancour. As for Amosun, I highly doubt that he has any structure left in the current APC setup,

helinues:
Yayi is irrelevant in the political scheme in Ogun state

spafu:
Of course its APC all the way. In Etsako, we still queue behind Oshiomole, and who he supports, because he heralded development to our area.

ElevationD:
Akpakomiza, I am still waiting to hear from you.
