I should know an Edo name, both my parents are Edo and I was born and bred in Edo. I know what am saying.

you lack knowledge, or maybe one lost bini child for you to be unaware of the fact that several tribes and ethnic group recide in Edo state apart from just Bini speaking people, don't quote me again because I wouldn't bother replying you, you are obviously a low life.

dukie25:
Most of those quoted are not from Edo state. From their names we know them.

what is this one saying? do you that the people of Edo North are generally Muslims? and that most yoruba and Edo names are similar? Edo is almost like a central state so wake up from your dreams.

No longer in two weeks time, what is wrong with our security.

yes it would have been two weeks time i.e 24th but for the coronation of the oba of Benin which is slated for 26th, knowing fully well that no matter what the outcome of the election which maybe announced 25th or 26th is, the city would be rowdy that 26th.

The Independent National Electoral Commission on Thursday postponed the Edo State 2016 Governorship Election to Wednesday, September 28.
The decision was announced to journalists on Thursday night, about eight hours after the commission had insisted that the election would hold as scheduled on Saturday, September 10, despite warnings from security agencies.
But the leadership of the main opposition party in the country, the Peoples Democratic Party, led by Senator Ahmed Makarfi, has reiterated its earlier position that the Saturday, September 10, election date should remain sacrosanct.
Spokesperson for the PDP, Mr. Dayo Adeyeye, who stated this in a statement in Abuja on Thursday, said the postponement of the election was illegal and a coup against Nigerians
As a prelude to the announcement of the postponement of the Saturday poll, the police beefed up security around the commission’s headquarters in Benin with riot policemen frisking visitors.
INEC’s decision to postpone the election followed a security report written to the commission by the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, and the Director-General of the Department of State Services, Alhaji Lawal Daura.
The National Commissioner in charge of Voter Education and Publicity, Mr. Solomon Soyebi, who broke the news to journalists in Benin, however, refused to take questions.
Reading a prepared text, Soyebi, who was with the Edo Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mr. Sam Olumekun, said the commission had successfully implemented 12 of the 14 activities on the Election Timeline.
The National Commissioner added, “The commission has deployed over 18,000 electoral staff, secured and deployed all materials required for the election and mobilised over 1.9 million voters to exercise their civic responsibilities.
“However, at about 6pm today (Thursday), the commission received official communication from the Police and the DSS, drawing its (INEC) attention to the need to postpone the Edo Governorship Elections.
“Such a postponement, the communication indicates, is necessary in view of threats of terrorist activities in Edo and other states of the federation during the election and over the Sallah period.”
Soyebi revealed that the letter from the security agencies indicated that holding the election on that day would overstretch the police personnel.
“Consequently, the commission notes the request of the security agencies and, considering the security implications of proceeding with the election, the safety of eligible voters, electoral officials, including ad hoc staff, and other stakeholders, has decided to reschedule the Edo Governorship Election to Wednesday, September 28, 2016.”
But Adeyeye noted that under the current INEC, all elections conducted had either been inconclusive or truncated, saying the Edo election should be different.
The PDP spokesman added, “The postponement of the election by INEC is illegal, unconstitutional and a breach of the peoples’ trust in the commission and the security agencies.
“It is a coup against the people of Edo State in particular and Nigerians in general. Since APC assumed power, virtually all elections conducted by INEC have either been inconclusive or truncated.
“Saturday’s election in Edo State must be an exemption. We will not accept anything
less than free, fair and transparent election conducted and concluded the same day. INEC must rise to the occasion to restore the confidence of Nigerians in its operations.
“Edo is a test case. With the way INEC is performing, how are we sure that it would be able to handle the 2019 general elections. Our democracy is under a serious threat from the APC and its Gestapo security agencies.
“It is shameful and indeed a major constitutional breach for the security agencies to act in concert with the APC to truncate an election that had been planned for months.”
But the ruling party, the APC, refused to comment on INEC’s decision to postpone the Edo State governorship election till September 28.
Attempts to get an official reaction from the party’s National Secretariat, in Abuja, on Thursday were unsuccessful.
Repeated calls to the mobile of the party’s National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, were not returned.
A response to a text message sent to him was still being awaited as of the time of filing this report.
Similarly, the mobile phone of the party’s National Secretary, Mai Mala Buni, indicated that it was switched off when The PUNCH called the line.
Our submission purely advisory –Police
Meanwhile, the police on Thursday said their submission to INEC on the Edo State governorship election was purely advisory, stressing that the commission was not bound to accept its suggestion to postpone the poll.
The Force Public Relations Officer, Donald Awunah, said INEC, as the body in charge of conducting elections, could not be compelled to postpone the poll.
He explained that the police had deployed 25,000 personnel in the state for the exercise.
Awunah said, “The security advisory to INEC was just an advice and the postponement of the poll was strictly its decision and responsibility. The police had put everything in place to ensure a successful poll, but the Force and the DSS found it necessary to draw the commission’s attention to the credible intelligence we received, to ensure that the conduct of the poll was smooth and hitch-free.”

Mods please do the needful

I think it's high time we took security of lives and properties more serious than our personal political affiliations, prevention they say is always better than cure, for those of you who do not recide in Edo state but say what ever you like online, remember that there are youth corpers and other ad-hoc staff that would be deployed to the field, yes of which I'm one of them, remember that the general elections were postponed last year and Nigeria didn't breakup nor did it prevent who would have won from winning, please let's just take this as a precautionary step rather than attributing everything to politics.

The Independent National Electoral Commission has agreed to shift the Edo State governorship election by two weeks.
The decision to postpone the election was reached at a security meeting held in Benin, the Edo State capital this evening.
A national commissioner at the commission said the Chairman of the commission, Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu, and other national officials of the commission are planning to address a press conference shortly.
Details later…

@op, continue supporting those politicians o, you hear, by the time they finish using you, they will dump you like a thrash, then, your eyes will be opened.

what is this one saying? where in this post did you see any iota of support for any of the parties, if you are not from Edo state simply 'pass' OK?

Enough of the APC and PDP fight, this is a litmus test and specially about Edo state.
EDO PEOPLE, SAY AMEN TO THESE PRAYERS IF YOU REALLY BELIEVE YOUR POLITICAL PARTY HAS DONE WELL IN EDO STATE:

APC SUPPORTERS, May God recreate you and your Family the way Oshiomole (APC) Recreated EDO STATE in JESUS NAME,.....

Now, PDP SUPPORTERS, It's your turn. May God turn around your life the way Igbinedion and PDP turned Edo State into after 8 years in Jesus Name, ....oya say AMEN if you believe PDP actually did well in Edo State....

SUPPORT WHAT IS GOOD ALWAYS BECAUSE WHATEVER YOU SOW, YOU SHALL REAP.
VOTE WISELY!!!
VOTE DON'T FIGHT!!!

braxjay:
if APC wins in Edo, then i give up on Nigeria. Because they will never learn. if the whole country is suffering and they still choose to suffer then of all states they are most STUPID!

young man keep quiet, why can't you just pretend to have sense sometimes even if you don't have? this election is about Edo state and not Nigeria, about 10 years of pdp in Edo and 8 years of APC in Edo. Allow edolites make their choice and stop all these childish talks.

why do some persons have myopic views over everything all because of politics, are you guys new in this country to know that this is a norm? and a step to check political bias because he must have had good connections with the people on ground?

it was very obvious, it's not about bringing up false figures which clearly do not exist. Those of you not in Edo would think there is any truth in those figures. Tell is what you want to do and how you would, iyamu simply could not.

All sinners will go to hell, fine but my question is: when we face disappointments in life, misfortunes, sickness and so on, is God responsible for it as a way of punishing us for that particular sin we committed?
Please bible backings will be much appreciated.

Cc. Lalasticlala

omo this one fear me sha

we don hear

They may not win trophies as I would have loved but one major reason I love this club is their love and respect for Nigeria, Nigerian-arsenal fans and Nigerian products. From signing and bringing up many Nigerian players to partnering with Nigerian products like Malta Guinness, Artel and now star. Not some clubs who do not even know if Nigeria exists or even if they even have fans here.
