The boys are ready for deployment...

Abeg who die?

Mikelarteta:
This should serve as a lesson to those in authority, APC would have saved themselves this shame if they have allowed Obaseki to contest.

They would have won the election with ease.

Adams Oshiomole has really dealt APC a heavy blow.

He is finished politically.

aremuforlife:

Ebonyi doing well more than lagos state?

Are you in doubt?

You may want to be reminded that Lagos has always been the most developed state in Nigeria based on its FCT status for many years

Let me even ask you: What infrastructure has the APC government in Lagos put in place since they came on board?

How many new roads have been built? how many new bridges? What exactly has been done in Lagos that makes you think its better governed than every other state in Nigeria vis-a-vis the level of income?
.

seunmsg:


Nothing in my post is misleading. All I have said is the truth. Mention one state that is better governed than Lagos in Nigeria?

Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom etc are as rich as Lagos. PDP has been governing those states since 1999 with little or nothing to show for it in terms of modern development and transformation.

Rivers, Delta, Anambra and Abia also have the potential to generate as much internal revenue as Lagos but no, the PDP rulers are only interested in stealing oil allocations and not improving the states.

As for Ebonyin, the comparison based on revenue alone is illogical. What is the population of Ebonyin? If the population that the Lagos state government has to deal with is the population size of Ebonyin, the state would look like Dubai today. With over 25million people to provide for, the state is still better governed than Ebonyin with less than 2million people.

I can also add with certainty that if Sullivan Chime had a quarter of what fashola had at his disposal, he would have dwarfed fashola's performance.

At least 10% of the state's income goes to one individual, before other stakeholders start embezzling their own, and someone is talking about best administered state.

If Lagos was a free state, it would have done much better than it has done thus far.

Ever since this guy followed Obaseki to PDP, i've respected him alot. That was one risk too many.

Obaseki actually called him "a friend" when appealing to PDP to let both of them fly the ticket.

Truthfully, its only a friend that can do what Shaibu did.

Appears cool, but be like say na real hard man.

Meanwhile, someone should tell oshiomole that if by a stroke of the miraculous he is able to be at the fore front of an election battle, he should reserve his dancing till the victory. Oshiomole dey dance up and dan Edo since, at the end of the day no level.

Make e come dance now make we see.

UDUJ:


Have you ever experienced serious depression before?

If you have, then multiply that feeling by a hundred. That's how they are feeling right now

The loss of an election is an extremely painful occurrence.

Timekeeper:
Huh.. Ebeano supermarket

What is the gathering for?

If they don't support, will he be removed from being a governor?

See as crowd full for unnecessary matter, not even a campaign oooo

Nkanu want's to be governor in 2023. That's what this is all about.

But the electorate in Enugu has a lot to learn from Edo state.

Mysticwebb:
Waittttt first, don't be quick to forget Osun remote controlled result.
Wait for the final result, after that we can use cane to escort Oshomole to Abuja.

On a serious note, one thing was clear in this election, the visa ban from USA and a threat of similar or more action from UK and EU had a great effect on the outcome of this election.
Despite how tough in cultism Edo is, no killing was reported.
I believe the family members of these politicians staying outside Nigeria may have warned them to be mindful of any action that will negatively affect their residency permit.

You got that right bro.

That visa ban issue isn't a joke.

Nice one.

onatisi:
if obaseki wins this election , that will be the semi burial of oshiomole political career.

he will no longer have the clout he used to have , that means within 12 months , he lost his position as the party chairman and also his state to the opposition

Semi burial you say?

Oshiomole is gone politically.

mamatwiny:


I am so excited. History has just been and is about to be made in Edo.
Oya give me the meme of Go and die by Oshiomole. We need to give it back to him.

Apc national president lost his state to PDP .hiohiohiohahahahah. I am waiting for the final disgrace out of the executive Chambers and becoming an arm chair politician.

I recall the election quote by Ohakim, " with the structures on ground, we are going to win by a wide margin."

We also hope they don't turn to supreme Court to produce a governor , though I trust Wike to handle that. He must have weighed his options B4 handing over structure and ticket to him. Long live Wike. PDP would have been dead without him. We won't have had any opposition party without him.

Obaseki, though they said you failed exam, go and repeat class and make sure you pass this time. Your sins are forgiven.

Nyesom Wike is a man with balls of steel.

Respect.

fergie001:
Pastor Ize-Iyamu, pick up the damn phone and call your brother.

Toe this path now, Sir.

Not when there is a Supreme Court.

That would be their next line of action.

But dem go still lose.

Congrats to Obaseki, and nice one fergie for the authentic updates.

You have done well.

martineverest:
Neve threaten, oppress or underrate an Edo man or woman

Edo people are very strong-willed.

ThreeBlackBird:


This analysis, I'm sure you know, is wrong. Even if Ambode had gotten the PDP ticket, he had no structure anywhere and even PDP knows. His case would have been as that of Eyitayo Jegede of Ondo.

Get this. Edo is not Lagos. Lagos APC is loyal to Tinubu and APC but no one else. Ambode knew if he had decamped, not a single LGA chairman, no to talk of house of rep member, would have followed him because they know how elections work in Lagos.

At the primaries, you really don't have the slightest idea how badly Ambode was betrayed. He didn't even have agents to look after his votes, which he didn't really get. It was really bad that he had no one behind many of his posters. Ambode wanted to fight but he knew it was a lost cause. He would have lost everything. He would also have been historically impeached and badly as well.

Let Edo do their politics and good luck to them but don't even think a governor can pull that Obaseki stunt in Lagos. It's completely different, what is obtainable in Lagos. It would end in hot tears.

Not taking anything away from what you have said though, but you never know.

If Obaseki had not fought, nobody would have believed he could do this well.

Oladeji245:

stop typing shii
I'm Yoruba and Muslim
this nonsense stereotypes of Yoruba Muslim or wareva must stop.
APC is evil
dem show us pepper for Osun State.

Correct man.

We have a tradition of generalizing things in Nigeria, which is bad. I have a couple of yoruba muslim guys i know who fall in line with the whole "yoruba muslim" cliche. But i definitely know wonderful Yoruba Muslims as well.

NoBones:
Abeg those of una wey dey collation centre make una run shift, make some of una go church (1st service) while others go attend second service or at most make I call one of our Branch Pastors to come hold service for collation centre.

Abeg I no wan hear any stories that touch, APC and Osho Baba are so desperate.

I like PMB for this one Sha, Baba just dey villa dey shark him cold kunu aya and Bitter kola dey observe things.

Osho Baba don call tire Baba's lines are not reachable.

Chai, even Gambari no gree pick call.

Let me laugh in Bini Language, hohohohohohohohohohohohohoho

The last time wen buhari send person na during 2019 presidential election.

The man no send anybody from here to there again.

psucc:
How sure are you of the result.

Because after the election, we will take time to analyze the posts and claims each of you made to know who is patriotic and who is a scammer.

You spoke well.

padi94:
Hmmmm... they have taken our attention from choosing between good and evil to choosing between bad and worse.

God save us all

This is another wonderful comment.

Both of you guys have said some of the most meaningful things in the course of this edo elections.

Kudos!

zikter:
What is you people's issues with Ambode? The man refused to decamp, contested primaries on his party and lost, accepted defeat and moved on. He didn't see politics as do or die, simple. You keep castigating our politicians for having no ideologies when they cross carpet, but here you are again talking about innocent Ambode that refused to decamp. Let the man rest and simply focus on Edo election

Your perspective is idealistic, but realistically, it was fear that made him not decamp.

Nevertheless, he lost nothing. Life goes on.

Oracleforce:



Akoko Edo that suppose to be a strong base of pastor Ize-iyanmu....things has fallen apart for pastor....
He should wait till 2023 or forever like ogboru of Delta State or Timi Alaibe of Bayelsa state....serial failure

and Jimi Agaje of Lagos

TinubuGoQuench:
Why are there just few APshit online warriors on this thread?

Considering that they were unable to rig by obstructing voting, they are all at inec office looking for any opportunity to reconstruct the results.

yakubudivine:
It has stop flowing in. Now the really election began not the one that was done in the afternoon by ipob

So wetin u mean be say na now voting start?

Naija!

bdsm:
Naive Nigerians. Rigging takes place at inec collation center and not polling units.

You are correct about that.

But i'm sure PDP knows that too. Since its clear they got the votes from the people, its up to them to do their utmost best to prevent the usual abracadabra that happens over night at INEC office.

I thought one northerner said US visa is of no importance?

Yahaya Bello should just keep quiet make Reno no sign petition on top im head. The matter go plenty pass USA.

haiti007:
Who are the celebrants? The masses or the politicians?

Words on marble.

Respect!

AnanseK:




Rubbish. Northerners have been CBN Governors before any southerner became one. The first indigenous CBN governor in Nigeria was a Northerner (1963-1967) and they have not performed below the southerners that normally have fake certificates.

Borrow a 1000 Naira note if you don’t have one. The pictures and information on it will help you.

It appears you didn't read my comment.

jidamsel43:
Yes, and what has been their contributions to the development of our country.

I'm not pessimistic but those with this privilege need not be celebrated here if they have no contributions to the progress and development of this country

True.

If they can't help us in Nigeria, why do we spend time celebrating them? What's even worse is when we get tribal: "Igbo Amaka" here, "omoluabi" there. At the end of the day, dem no send us from here to there. They are all focused on serving their new found nations.

Let them help us dismantle this hopeless structure in Nigeria (at least restructuring according to the independence plan) by getting their new nations to apply pressure on our government.

AnanseK:


Please try to be fair. Remember that Emelfield was appointed by Goodluck Jonathan and has been retained for 5 years by Buhari.

There was no obligation for the New Government in 2015 to retain a PDP CBN Governor. I think for whatever reason Buhari has has shown maturity and was magnanimous.

Your comment is totally unfair , insensitive, uncharitable and diabolical.

Quit.

Emefiele is an "oh yes" man. That's why the cabal insisted he remained. It had nothing to do with any magnanimity. Besides, the north had no competent person who would be permeable at the same time to fit into that position.

Brilliant northerners (as few as they may be) are some of the most difficult people to bend. SLS is a good example. And no matter how nepotistic a government is, certain offices must be manned by very sound professionals.

Emefiele has been a very loyal CBN governor to Buhari and his Cabal which is very bad for the country. Maybe they have now zeroed in on a northerner they can trust. So its time for Godwin to go.

tesppidd:
Just thinking; if El Rufai starts his own petition for Reno to be deported from America and the Hauwas and Almajiris are also allowed to vote;

Does anyone think it would not get to 1 million signatures in 24 hours?

Stupiid sentimental petitions.

Under age voting is not allowed.

solmus:




Same way Atiku spoke on supporting Obaseki, Tinubu the APC founding father and National leader spoke too

.

Atiku went to make a video to encourage Edo people to vote for Obaseki?

solmus:



Money laundering act barely stated "Transaction" ,for easier assimilation for someone like you "Payment" beyond 5 million must be reported by banks to Anti Graft Agency , no law prohibits anybody from moving any amount of self owned physical cash


You can only induce voters at polling units in the day of Election as a candidate or party agent, Budillion drive Ikoyi Lagos is a private residence not a polling booth


Give use any evidence that the bullion vans contain 5 million and more


.

Quit trying to be intelligent by half. Do you not know what the money is for?

He is not alone in that practice though. Its what all of them do. Its just that the quantity of his own money was too much to be transported by ordinary vehicles.
