This self acclaimed old man again

sageb:
Bayelsa is fully with the PDP all the way.

donphilopus:
They should compensate.

OVB123:
garfield this time I disagree with you. The office of a Deputy Governor is bigger than chief of Staff.

Indispensable85:
A smart politician would have picked another etsako man or pick Adjoto if he must go akoko edo.

Omobayo was the LP candidate for house of representatives in akoko edo last year. He couldn't do much at all. He finished distant third behind akpatason and adjoto.

This election is APC to lose. Everything seems to be set for them to win it seamlessly.

JuanDeDios:
Maybe he wants to curry Akoko-Edo votes?

Ologbo147:
Etsako west is larger now because of its urban nature, Akoko Edo is 5% of the population of Edo state, you can check. Even if he was going to cut his head for the Etsako people, they still would not vote for him. Oshiomhole is there and is a factor, so why waste the slot, you can’t compare chief of staff position to deputy governor, it is not the same thing, anybody can appoint anybody chief of staff, it will only happen two times in a lifetime for an Akoko Edo person to be governor or deputy governorship candidate in a election cycle not when Bini, Esan,Etsako, Owan are there. So what Obaseki did for them is landmark and will realistically not happen again in a long while

Ologbo147:
There is no way Obaseki was going to win Etsako anyway, for the fact Oshiomhole is from there, Pdp has never won Etsako for a long time now, shaibu would have fought obaseki even if he was not impeached, With the nuisance he was constituting, the battle just have to be taken to his doorstep.

Indispensable85:
Is the guy on the ballot? So how's he going to be governor? Is your brain aware of this post?

b3llo:
then life goes on

Indispensable85:
Serious yawa

Ologbo147:
Garfield think, i repeat no party willing to win election will field an Akoko Edo man for governor or deputy. They don’t have the numbers. Politics is a game of numbers. This is reality not emotions, politicians are realist. This is the closest way they could have gotten to power, and he utilized it effectively, Obaseki did not study classics at the university of Ibadan for nothing

Ologbo147:
This is sheer luck for the boy, I like this kind of luck, It would forever be in the History of Edo state and in the cv of the boy that the boy was a deputy governor even though for six months. Obaseki is also using it to buy Akoko Edo vote, since the speaker is already from Owan

donphilopus:
Senator Domingo? Lol. He will never accept that. He can never deputize anyone. It's too small for him. BTW, I was told a meeting was held on Saturday in Igarra the headquarters of the LGA. I believe they agreed on Marvelous at the meeting.

Isokiscool:
Stop arguing,he contested for house of reps under labour party and even went as farvas winning akoko Edo local government

Ologbo147:
how are you so certain of that? Akoko Edo has never been governor or deputy governor for the longest of time, not even for two days, this act certainly would change the historical narrative that an Akoko Edo person was deputy governor for over half a year, you cannot wish it away, they might likely not get close to that position for the next 30 years or more. It is a significant mark for them, you can’t wish it away or underestimate it, you cannot authoritatively determine if it will not sway vote, from the look of things, it certainly will. A party willing to win election in Edo state will not pick an Akoko Edo person as the governor or deputy. For Obaseki to quickly use this impeachment scheme to get them to be a part of government shows he is smart and knows what he is doing.

donphilopus:
Adjoto came distant third. Lol

whizzler:
Real blunder, why the hurry to even impeach him few months to election? No matter how small Shaibu has sympathizers who will most likely work against the party because of this. As u rightly pointed out he didn't pick a heaviy weight again to make up for the loss

Ologbo147:
Obaseki is not an enemy of Akoko Edo people, remember taiwo akerele, his former chief of staff is also from that place

Coronavirus1:
Edo South and Central join together PDP already win

THE Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has won the eight local government chairmanship positions in the Saturday council polls in Bayelsa State.

DeLaRue:
You're very wrong.

Akoko is indigenous Yoruba (Ondo state) people.

There are 4 Akoko local governments on the Ondo State side.

1) Akoko North-East 2) Akoko North-West, 3) Akoko-South-East and 4) Akoko-South-West.

Infact, the Akokos are the single most populous sub-ethnic group in Ondo State. Larger than Akure, Ondo, Owo and Ikale/Ilaje.



It was the convenience of using River Ose as boundary between the Ondo and Edo States that resulted on some Akoko villages ending up in Edo.

Ologbo147:
The party holding Akoko Edo down is pdp, Akoko Edo is the second largest lga in Edo north only behind Etsako west numerically

Penguin2:
You are the one who contradict yourself.

You said Tinubu got more votes than Obi got in the core north and I just countered that fallacy by reminding you of result from Kaduna alone. Or is Kaduna not core north again? Those it matter where the votes came from?

donphilopus:
Marvelous was LP's House of Reps candidate during the last election.

Ologbo147:
This is sheer luck for the boy, I like this kind of luck, It would forever be in the History of Edo state and in the cv of the boy that the boy was a deputy governor even though for six months. Obaseki is also using it to buy Akoko Edo vote, since the speaker is already from Owan

spencekat:
Not by mistake, but by high politicking.

spencekat:
It is not a law that you must start from the grassroot.

donphilopus:
I'm on ground in Akoko Edo and I'm telling you now that PDP would win the LGA. He won the last election. Don't argue that with me please.

spencekat:
Let the 'boy'start from somewhere. All of them were liabilities, till they got politically matured.

spencekat:
Ebonyi PDP:- Umahi succeeded Elechi,though Elechi don't annoit Umahi to succeed him.
