They don't do Godfather in Johannesburg,Cairo, Tunis etc

They don't threaten anyone or use thugs during election.

That's why Lagos is stuck in comparison with that of Edo and co

Okpebholo has no godfather

membranus:
Agboola, the former DG, will give him a run for his money today.

Or Sola ebiseni or John mafo

press9jatv:

Cindypresh:

He won because he was an incumbent,he was fighting godfatherism,he had support in APC,pdp was united,he had wike and shuaibu.all that is gone,how is he going to do it?

aswani:
Nothing to do with PDP, it's APC people fighting each other. EJ effectively wants to drop in to control Ikpoba Oha and seeing as he is rumoured not to even from there, the local exco are not happy about it.

I am going off the top of my head but I believe he too was in PDP, I might be wrong on that though.

Regardless, the point is this is nothing to do with PDP, same as the situation with Akpata.

True, agbonayinma is struggling for LG party leadership of Apc with hon osarobo idahosa. .

Like I was earlier saying,the speaker was present when the king of ozalla was being insulted by cabinet members which means it's a state policy

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo state for the September 21 election, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has described his contenders in other parties as baby politicians.

The baby politicians, who believe in speaking fine English, according to Okpebholo, the representative of Edo Central Senatorial District, included Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP’s) Dr. Asue Ighodalo, a Lagos-based lawyer, and Labour Party’s (LP’s) Olumide Akpata, a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).

The governorship candidate of APC in a press statement on Wednesday, April 24, pledged a departure from Governor Godwin Obaseki’s administration, promising heightened Federal Government involvement in strategic initiatives within Edo state if elected.


He said: “My running mate, Hon. Dennis Idahosa, a two-time representative of Ovia constituency of Edo State in the House of Representatives, and I, along with other party faithful, will be speaking with the people directly during the campaigns. We will address their concerns and leave no stone unturned.

“We will not lie to the Edo electorate or deceive them. Our word will be our bond. We will address their concerns and ensure that everyone is carried along. We will speak with our people directly, and give them reasons they should give us a chance to serve them. We have done it before. We will do it again.

“The good thing is that my running mate and I have contested and won elections before. We are currently members of the National Assembly. Those trying to challenge us are baby politicians who believe that speaking fine English will translate to victory. On election day, we will teach them a political lesson that they will not forget.”

Okpebholo also declared that no amount of intimidation or blackmail by his political opponents would stop him from campaigning and winning the crucial poll.

He said: “When we unveil our manifesto and our winning campaign team soon, we will hit the ground running.

“For us, this is a marathon, and we will win the race in the end. We are in this contest to win, and we will take over Edo State, by the grace of God.”

The standard bearer of APC in Edo also gave an assurance that he would succeed Obaseki on November 12 this year.

Villa12:
Lol

Where is the Npower beneficiaries 9 months outstanding stipend?
Where is the so called 50k grant for 100k beneficiaries?

All of them na AUDIO

Npower isn't a tinubu initiative,at least he paid 2 months while the disbursement for 50k grants has started

Pdp thugs also attacked APC stakeholders meeting at the house of hon agbonayinma in ikpoba okha LGA

aswani:
The Ọba (gha to kpere baba) absolutely has no interest in backing someone in the elections.

Obaseki was a disloyal subject, same as his ancestor, but he is not contesting and Asuẹn has distanced himself from him anyway.

The Ọba isn't going to take sides, I keep telling you, Edo South just did 8 years, why would The Ọba tacitly support another 8 years, granted Akpata is not an Edo South homeboy per se.

It is Esan's turn, Akpata is there to cash out.

The oba will not back someone openly but he can secretly have someone in mind na.even though it is zoned to Edo central,it is not illegal if a bini man wins afterall the akpata family is friendly with the royal family.
Back in 2016 the oba was skeptical about obaseki and he was proven right.if obaseki who is from Benin has no respect for royalty,his stooge who is not from Benin and who doesn't understand local culture will do worse

favor914:
Tinubu has a score to settle with Obaseki’s Edo no be Lagos saga.

APC has won that election hands down already, no honor amongst thieves, they are already waiting for Pdp in court to file their appeal.

Hmmm.anything can still happen

favor914:
They don’t have to be in any hurry, it is coming back home to papa APC.

I know though I fear obaseki might catch up

favor914:
Ok o, Edo State APC will kill anybody that dare tries to stop them from retrieving their stolen mandate back from Obaseki, even if they have to embark on the mother of all riggings known to INEC.

No,we are not desperate for Edo abeg

favor914:
Supporting Akpata In an election that The APC has already won?

What happened in Imo with Uzodinma will happen in Edo state also, complete sweep.

They have come to retrieve their stolen mandate, APC will remind Governor Obaseki that there is no honor amongst political thieves.

Na just sarcasm

aswani:
Eagerly, your information is interesting, where are you getting it from.

It is in the news.have you forgotten that obaseki clashed with the oba over the custody of the Benin artifacts and that obaseki wanted to decentralize the traditional rulers council? Ighhodalo has publicly supported these policies.do you think the oba will support him?Just last week,the the traditional ruler of ozalla in owan west lga suspended two cabinet members of obaseki for disrespecting the palace.they could only do that because their master is doing same na.think man

aswani:
What exactly are you seeing to believe the Royal family is supporting LP?

Obaseki has disrespected them plus akpata has family members in the royal council and the oba attends to issues concerning akpata eagerly

aswani:
Incursion into where?

Uniben is a what?

Very funny sha.

I don't know why you can't get the facts that Benin people are pro lp.evej during the assembly polls,lp cleared Benin but pdp had to brutally rig them out.from what I am seeing,the royalty is indirectly supporting Akpata

aswani:
Factional LP infighting, he knows that himself but is pretending. APC and LP are gearing up for a winner takes all herculean battle, neither of them have time for him and his minor LP in this elections.

Actually,he was attacked by the state govt who are threatened by his incursion into benin.uniben is an obidient enclave.
APC campaign officially commences today

Melagros:
COMRADES, this act will not benefit a common man in the streets

It will boy

Edo pdp and their candidate are so clueless that if they are not attacking opposition parties,they are jumping from tables to chairs childishly in the name of internet stunts.okpebholo or Akpata is coming

‘UniBen Assault Was Politically Motivated’ — LP Edo Guber Candidate, Akpata Speaks On Attack
‘UniBen Assault Was Politically Motivated’ — LP Edo Guber Candidate, Akpata Speaks On Attack
By Isuma MARK on April 23, 2024
Labour Party governorship candidate for the Edo State election, Olumide Akpata has said the attack on his campaign team at the University of Benin was politically motivated.

He stated this on Tuesday in a statement he signed, explaining that he “feels compelled to provide” an explanation because “the situation has taken an unsettling turn that necessitates addressing it again, directly.”

He described the incident at UniBen’s Senior Staff Club on Friday, 12th April as unfortunate.

He said the “facts of what transpired are sacred and no amount of obfuscation will change
them.”

According to him, “Neither I nor anyone from my team initiated or perpetrated any attacks,” rather, “We were the victims of what evidence increasingly suggests was a premeditated assault, potentially motivated by political interests.”

He said the “vicious attack was carried out by suspected hoodlums, some of whom eyewitnesses report, were accompanying the President of the Student Union Government (SUG).


“The assault left a Lecturer seriously injured, and his life nearly taken by a brutal axe blow to the back of his head. My heart goes out to him and his family, and I once again unequivocally condemn this senseless act of violence.

“As the attack unfolded, those present at the Staff Club will attest that upon realising that students may have been involved in the ugly incident, I immediately began pleading for leniency towards any such students.

“As a former student myself, I understood the grave consequences such misguided actions could have on their futures. I made this same plea before the Committee investigating the said incident, hoping to protect any students who may have been involved.”

He however added that, “emboldened by the apparent support of the highly-placed Edo State Government official who has been pulling the strings from behind the scenes and orchestrating mayhem, some of these students have continued an unrelenting campaign against me, fabricating accounts completely lacking in truth – all seemingly in a bid to gain perceived political advantage for their benefactor.


“It is due to my genuine concern for the well-being of these students and indeed for their academic progress, that I call on their parents to urgently intervene in this matter and extricate their children from the clutches of the desperate politicians exploiting them.

“These politicians clearly do not have the best interests of the students at heart and are ready to jeopardise young lives for immediate political gain at the expense of the very education their parents have sacrificed to provide.

“I make this impassioned plea to their parents in the light of recent publications allegedly originating from some of these students themselves.

“I call on those desperate politicians who are so blinded by ambition that they do not mind endangering the future of our youth to kindly cease these reckless actions immediately.


“The lives and destinies of these students are infinitely more precious than any fleeting political agenda. If they insist on using young people as pawns, then they should deploy their own children rather than the children of others.

“I also implore all those who value integrity, justice, and the prosperous future of this nation to condemn such reprehensible tactics in the strongest terms.

“These self-serving individuals cannot be allowed to jeopardise the future of our youth and imperil the very fabric of our society in their quest for power at any cost. We must stand united against those who would stop at nothing to gain or hold on to power even at the expense of the next generation.

“The path forward for a truly great society demands that we protect the potential of our young people as our most precious resource. Their well-being must remain paramount,” the former President of the Nigerian Bar Association said.
