Hmm, that is a strong field but Agba was a commissioner under Bàbà Oshio plus I doubt governorship would go from Ẹdo South to Ẹdo South so that might knock out your last two.

Make we siddon dey look sha.

Whoever gets the APC ticket is winning, clearly PDP have given up already in allowing Ọbasẹki to not only have a say in choosing their aspirant but letting him handpicked one of his Planwell boy boy from Lagos.

As for LP, even if Peter Obi himself campaigns in Edo state from now till election day, whoever they nominate is coming a very very distant third.

Hmmm

Fuckyoumod:
So how do you address the injustice meted on them?

Nothing cab be done

Bobloco:
Stop being clever by half, bro.




Honestly, I cringe at the way you boldly support this illegality being perpetuated by Wike.

You would rather advise that the governor should resign, but Wike shouldn't hands off and concentrate on his job as the minister of FCT.

You are being clever by a quarter rather.is it not same fubara you hated during the polls? It is even fubara that is indulging in illegality.eceryrhing wike and the 27 assembly members are doing is legal.they have the right to impeach the governor,pass or reject the budget.wike has a right to support a candidate for election.

Good move

The judgement of the supreme court have done justice to it

The apex court has no jurisdiction on it

Blood of Wizkid!


"Foolish"

Lolz.political caricature

wegevv:
He's refusing now

Then he will be destroyed

Bobloco:
Truth is that he was imposed on the rivers people.

The subject matter here is that, did they lord over him the way he is trying to lord over fubara

He wasn't imposed totally.he had his own structures,had guber ambition.
Lording over is a choice.if fubara doesn't like it,he resigns

Oshiomhole choice is between sen okpebholo,col imuse and hon idahosa.cc aswani, donphilopus

Ahead of the February 17, 2024 governorship primary election of the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the Edo State governorship election, four aspirants that were screened out by the Hon. Julius Ihonvbere-led committee said they have accepted the outcome of the screening in good faith.


DAILY POST reports that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has slated the off-cycle governorship election in Edo State for September 21, 2024.

It was learnt that the party had set up the committee as an internal mechanism to screen and prune down the number of aspirants to a manageable level, and also to ensure a rancour free primary election.


Those that were screened out, and accepted the outcome, are Dr Ernest Afolabi Umakhihe, the immediate past Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, and Prince Kassim Afegbua, former commissioner for Information and Orientation.

Others are Mrs Victoria Amu and Hon. Victor Otaigbe Eboigbe.

In their separate reactions, they noted that no individual was bigger than the party.


They explained that since they subscribed to the setting up of the committee, they abide by its decisions.

In his statement to supporters, Afolabi said, “It’s with all sense of gratitude that I inform you all that the journey we started together has come to a temporary end last night.

“This is so because my great party, the APC, has zoned the governorship out of Edo North. It is still victory for us, as in less than three weeks, we made so much incursion into the political space of Edo State.


“We will definitely be rewarded in due time. Inform your groups, friends, and our fans, please.”

On his part, Eboigbe, an aspirant from Edo Central, in his statement titled, ‘Everyone can’t be governor at the same time’, urged his supporters to accept the outcome of the screening.

He noted that the decision of the party is more important than the ambition of individual members.


Also speaking, Amu who said she will abide by the party’s decision, as her ambition is not bigger than the party.

Amu, who underscored the importance of party unity and cohesion, emphasized that the success of the APC in Edo State is paramount.

“While I am passionate about the prospect of serving the good people of Edo State as their governor, I want to make it unequivocally clear that my ambition is not greater than the supremacy of our party.

“The APC’s collective goals and the well-being of the people of Edo State are of utmost importance to me. I am fully aligned with the party’s vision and principles,” she stated.

Afegbua, who said he was screened out of the primary, noted that he accepted the party’s decision because to him, “politics is not a do or die affair”.

Recall that the committee had earlier pruned the numbers of aspirants from 29 to 10 aspirants, and subsequently to six, with two aspirants from each of the three senatorial districts.

It further pruned the list to four with two each from Edo Central and Edo South senatorial districts, thereby screening those from Edo North senatorial district out.

The four recommended aspirants for the primary election are Senator Monday Okpebholo, Col David Imuse, from Edo Central, and Chief Lucky Imasuen and Hon. Dennis Idahosa, from Edo South.

Good luck Jonathan and wife, Patience single-handedly imposed Wike on the Rivers people. Did they lord it over Wike?

No,it was an emergency thing.they wanted someone to uproot amechi and wike was handy and never wanted to control wike.wike wanted to be godfather and fubara is bound by it since he agreed.he should have refused.

Bobloco:
Wike is frustrating him

Wike was governor for eight years; did any former governor of Rivers State lord it over him the way he is doing to Fubara?

No one imposed him and gave him conditions.wike singlehandedly imposed him and has all rights over him

Bobloco:
While something shouldn't be done to former governors who, after their tenures, refuse to allow their successors to work for the people,

Who said fubara is working for the people

baralatie:
Has wike chosen to violate his own peace accord hevwillinging signed in the presence of his principal the president😲🙄

The gov is the one who violated it

baralatie:
Interesting !
We are now back on this impeachment again
Okay o
Those of you who do not care about the innocent lives in rivers state make una take am easy o

Let the governor surrender to wike,that's all

casualobserver:
the guy is a novice.

Yes.the smart play was to behave like obaseki and wait till towards election time before striking

iwaeda:
Most of you hate the truth and as well hate the country. Is this way a country is run?

Be honest for once.this judgment is impeccable

casualobserver:
I had to reexamine the agreement.......you are right!

Infact,the court has actually implicated him and indicted him for an impeachable offence.this can be used to institute impeachment moves later.cc fergie001

SIONKPO1:
If I am Fubara I will rope Wike with public Disturbances by arranging some stuffs and then get a court injunction on his Arrest

Fubara has lost this

casualobserver:
I thought all cases were to be withdrawn?

Not this very one

KEVIND:
The Judicial arm will kill democracy in Nigeria

How? The executive is the one killing the country while the judiciary is the one salvaging it.this is a brilliant ruling

seunmsg:
Kudos to the judiciary for this judgement. About time something is done to stop the impunity of governors who think they can keep undermining the legislature and the constitution. The illegality of using five members to remove the leadership of a parliament made up of over thirty members must never be allowed to stand.

Exactly

kcmichael:
No wahala ,,Gov should just appeal it and it will linger till December .......

This is a well considered judgment

Bobloco:
Ok

Do you think APC can dislodge the PDP in Edo state

Pdp has already dislodged itself in Edo by obaseki woeful performance,factional fights with Dan orbih and shuaibu.it is apc's to lose

Bobloco:
Who do you think would be given the APC ticket this time around

Whoever oshiomhole likes

Bobloco:
But both of them contested against obaseki in last election

His time has lapsed

aswani:
I know Asuen's ancestral homeland, even the village you mentioned. However if you think someone that can't speak Esan and is backed by his fellow Planwell brother, who is another failure that we have never heard speak Benin by the way, will get in then I guess we shall see.

Ẹdo state will never be ruled back to back by two expatriates calling themselves technocrat.

Don't mind the brainwashed mugu.rather shuaibu than asue

Chinjo2:
Can you place a bet on this?
Which candidate from APC or LP do you think can defeat Asue?

Any candidate in apc will trash him.asue is a nobody riding on the tails of obaseki

Chinjo2:
Asue Ighodalo is the next Governor of Edo state.
You can take that to the bank.
Even Oshiomhole will work for Asue.

APC is producing the next governor sir

aswani:
Ogho ghe nọ. Esan people lost the right to produce the next governor when they jumped intobed with Ọbasẹki to do an additional 4 years.

It's now an open field.

You are right.even osho is confused but it is between idahosa,imasuen, okpebholo,imuse,umakhike and Clem agba

aswani:
Esan agenda is dead in APC, even in PDP, dem no do am again as ná Ibadan man dem bring come.

An esan is the next governor
