Exactly! Instead of edolites to ask him what he has for dem in his second tenure dey r carried away by his sentiment of Godfatherism.nonsense

You can't be wiser than the over 4 million eligible Edo voters. They wear the shoe and also know where it pinches them.

adekolaelect:
Obaseki stop wailing on media .go and engage i n campaign on why people should give you their votes.are you telling us thugs in Edo has power over the state government? Even is their is call for Alarm direct your concern to the appropriate agency not playing to the Gallery on the Media. For this your approach toward coming election you may not have choice than to be among the master in wailing in Nigeria politic.show case your achievement for people to see and tell them why they need you more. A sensible edolite can not vote you simply because of sentimentality Edo is not Lagos or let kill godfather without seen the best excellent of your performance in office that impacted citizens positively.

Direct your advice to Tinubu. I think he would need it more.

Topmaike007:
I can never support a governor that refuse to swear in People that won Election whom are Oshiomhole loyalist

You have made your choice and nobody is forcing you against your wish. As your opinion is respected, you should as a matter of fact respect other people's choices.

DICKstractor:
I'm no APC or PDP fanatic

I'm just a common Nigerian hoping that the government we elected do the right thing

Good you are not.

DICKstractor:
Will it still be functional in the next 10years

It's not about building refinaries to score political points, it all balls down to its maintenance

We all know that Nigerians and her governments lack maintenance culture.

I won't shudder, if in the next coming years, this refinary will stop operating if it will even kick start in the fist place

I don't have to give the governor a kudos for doing what we elected him to do.

But you will give kudos to the APC for doing nothing.

Good for him

seunmsg:
Did you even read the entire story before responding? Democracy is not a joke and party suspremacy is a key ingredient of any democratic process.

Did Akeredolu work against the candidates of APC during the 2019 general election? If yes, is that not anti-party activities?

Under normal circumstances, Akeredolu should have been expelled from the party since last year. That they even indulged him till today shows we are not serious about strengthening our democratic processes.

You mean to say godfather supremacy.

Yebosola:
Whoever advice Obaseki on this is just inviting more enemies to the fight, is Ganduje a contestant in Edo election? Tell him and his handles to start campaing, elections are not won on bill board or online

Ganduje is not a contestant, yet, he threw the first jab at a sitting governor like him.

Show me your friend and I will show you who you are.

I am not holding brief for Obaseki but Ganduje has no moral standing to throw a political jab as far as corruption is concerned.

Tareq1105:
It's glaring for all to see. Can a leopard change its skin? Pikin wey betrayal born, na betrayal e go be.

Name the Edo masses he betrayed.

For your information, Edo belongs to the good people of Edo and not some selfish political godfathers and their sycophants.

God bless the good people of Edo State.

seanfer:
GEJ had no other option than to hand over because he lost fairly,

You said all Oshimhole said 4 years ago is still fresh in your memory, but you can't remember what PDP said about Obaseki just 4 months ago?
A commissioner in Obaseki's govt is presently in Interpol's detention for money laundering. What do you have to say about that?

Can you remind him since you have alleged?

Dansuqi:
While they are yet to decide,I have chosen pastor

Good luck

ChukwuObe:
Stop being economical with the truth. Did you know how Wike became governor if not for the supreme court? If not for Jonathan that changed the constitution to take the governorship petition to the Supreme court, Wike would never have tasted the position. How many of the positions contested for in 2015 were not cancelled apart from Wike's just because he bried Mary Odili and Onnoghen? Do you remember in your memory that Wike lost both at the tribunal and the appeal in 2015 including all the senate seats contested for Rivers state. When the senate seats in Rivers were re-run, how many seat did PDP get?Just one. If Wike's election was also re-run like others in 2015, he would have been a goner. But thank to the constitution that was changed to extend governorship petition to the Supreme court just like that of president which gave Odili and the very corrupt Onnoghen to validate the fake election. And if you call Uzodima a supreme court governor, what will you call Bayelsa and Zamfara governors Please reset your brain to be able to reason like normal human beings

Since you claimed he did not win, who then won the election? What about the 2019 election, he also did not win I guess?

I care less about what happened in Zamfara and Bayelsa because we are talking about Wike and Uzodinma here.

Which elections can be worse than Kano, Kogi, Rivers and Osun elections conducted by the APC?

Were the elections that brought in Buhari in 2015 and in 2019 any better than the election that brought in Wike in 2015?

Dansuqi:
I know.see obaseki has done his best, let someone else try considering that governors rarely do well in 2nd term

Edo people will decide that.

Dansuqi:
Let us not go into that.the summary is that obaseki will lose

Who cares if Obaseki loses? What I am advocating for my State is progress.

Dansuqi:
Dakuku won in reality

By how many votes?

desiredhome:
Stop supporting these crminals....supreme court or not....... they are all after their selfish ambition

I am not supporting any of them. What I have said is Wike is not a Supreme Court governor.

desiredhome:
You lie big time, is Rivers people not regretting already? It's only those ipob miscreants that are making noise about wiked wike rhe agbero.....
Mr Flyover

What we are discussing here is who is a Supreme Court governor between Wike and Uzodinma.
Tell me the governor that is performing, Mr Performance.

Wantedmiller:
We wake up everyday to see garbage ! Continue ok

Garbage like what you have typed here.

Dansuqi:
In 2015,wike lost but supreme court helped him son therefore hes a supreme court Governor like diri.if ihedioha won,how come he didn't get the spread?

Who then won the election?

Judeerons32:
For peanuts he has colluded with outsiders to deprive his own people the highest political position in Nigeria. I hope he is happy. Estako and indeed Edo sons and daughters who would have continued to be placed in positions of national reckoning can ask Oshawo if the 8months pension was worth it. For Obaseki he seems to have lost strategy. The only strategy seemed to be Oshiomhole was oppressing him then appeal to sympathy. Now that it seems he alone has the power he seems to have lost voice bcoz now he has to run on achievements.
No wonder he is facing ganduje.

I find you post very myopic.

How has national reckoning helped alleviate the sufferings of the common masses in Edo and how many Edo sons and daughters have been placed on positions of national reckoning? Name just twenty names. But pension paid will put more smiles in the faces of more Edo people. Don't you see that it is better to have the pension paid regularly than one useless ' national reckoning '.

As youths, we should place more emphasis on how our State governors run our States. We should as a matter of fact demand more from them. How our States are run affects us more than one useless national appointment.

Judeerons32:
I do not want to believe a governor said those. I hope it's fake news.
Edo election will be peaceful. We do not want war just elections and campaign based on issues.
Speaking to the fact of Wike calling hope Supreme Court governor it is laughable. Wike is the definition of a Supreme Court governor. Wike was declared winner with over 1m votes in 2015 even though card read indicated only about 400000 votes cast. The Supreme Court had to jettison card ready to accommodate wike votes. And for this he thanked Mary Odili at his thanksgiving for showing him who to MEET.
Let the elections be on issues the edo people are concerned with.

If River's election is repeated even tomorrow, Wike will defeat any candidate sponsored by the APC including Amaechi and Tinubu. But, Uzodinma cannot win any credible gubernatorial election in Imo. He has never won any before. Is Uzodinma not a Supreme Court governor? If you call Wike a Supreme Court judge, who then won the election? I need a name supported with facts. If you ask about that of Imo, Emeka Ihedioha won the election.

Jesusloveyou:
that was the reason he was disqualified.
a failure can not remain in APC,
and every rejected failure from APC is always widely welcome to PDP.

At least, he has done better than Bubu

Exc2000:
Lol

A dunce might reach any height of success with the right support and backing, he soon finds out he is a glorified dunce when he decides to fight his own support system

A dunce cannot reach any height of success in both the corporate and political world except you want to make me believe that you don't know the meaning of the word: dunce.

You may not be on the same page with him. That is not enough to make him a dunce who is slow or unable to learn.

Who are his support really? When in his life did they become his support? I quite don't really understand you.

I will advise you not to be carried away by your emotions. Obaseki doesn't care about your bitterness. You will end up adding to your worries.

Exc2000:





No wonder Pastor Ize Iyamu acts civilised and doesn't run his mouth like Obaseki.... A Lawyer knows how vital his words are, while a dunce who studied Classics (study of old Greek and Roman history) talks with thinking



.

A dunce cannot achieve all he has achieved both in the corporate world and in the political globe.

With these achievements, every reasonable person will trivialize these rants of yours.

MetaPhysical:
Shut it and tell me whose name you thumb stamped in 2016 governorship election in Edo State.

Dont respond with anything else bedside answer.

Shut it as well.

When you have the sections of the electoral act and our constitution, then, we can have a meaningful discussion., Mr. Simpleton.

MetaPhysical:
Ode! Constitution has nothing to do with party and election process.

You need to read the electoral act. Go to INEC site you will see the act.

Looking for constitution in electoral matter.

Didnt i tell you what you are already? A spectator!

Bigger Ode! Elections in Nigeria are regulated by both the 1999 constitution (as amended) and the 2010 Electoral act (as amended). Stop displaying your ignorance in full glare.

You are the one that is supposed to quote the sections that supported your claim, Ode. The onus is on you, big ode.

Over to you, ode, show us where it is written or forever remain mute.

MetaPhysical:
You can contest on five different party platforms if you so desire. Thats not an issue as long none of the loosers, or the party itself institutes a challenge.


Last governorship election in Edo whose name was on the ballot at thr polling station?

Can you show me the electoral laws that said so? If you cannot, then, keep such imagination to yourself. I am only interested in what the electoral laws and our constitution say.

MetaPhysical:
You see, you cant think. I challenged your brain and you are stuck.

I dont need to charge him to court, im not a stakeholder in his governorship interest but I am interacting and responding to public opinion.

Obaseki obtained and submitted nomination form for APC primary. I hope you know this.

The purpose of the form is to contest primary election in APC.

If APC want to be nice they can simply exclude him as candidate in the primary election. That will take care of any followup court charge.

If they want to play mischief, they will include him on the list and in fact pay couple of people to vote for him. This act will establish that Obaseki contested election under APC while also a candidate under PDP at same time. Do you get it?


You guys are spectators. There are thousands of intrigues in the Nigerian political pandora that when opened can easily disqualify Obaseki...even if the entire Edo state give him victory at the polls.

Rubbish and illogical.

Ortom contested in the PDP primaries of December, 2014 and jumped ship. That did not prevent him from becoming the governor of Benue State under the APC.

I don't really know where you got the sick logic that picking a nomination form is equivalent to being nominated. It is not contained in any of our electoral laws and the constitution.

I know you will quickly cite the case of Uche Nwosu out of sentiment. The fact is that Uche was nominated by two political parties.

All your desperation and voodoo logic can not stand before our laws. There is no precedence that has disqualified any candidate who had contested in the primaries of more than one political party. I stand to be corrected.

I will advise you to help the APC to include Obaseki's name among those that contested the APC primaries. You can also allocate fictitious votes to him.

Your sophistication is really beyond what have imagined. Continue in your dream world.

We, the good people of Edo State, are not spectators in the politics of our State. That is why Tinubu cannot win even a ward in our State. Edo is not Lagos where one man dictates for the others.

We are waiting for your rigging machinery as you boasted.

MetaPhysical:
Nobody cared to take them to court. No one tested their validity in court.

If someone had not gone to court Nwosu would have legitimate victory.

Many of you are spectators! You think you are smart but you are not, someone else think for you. You serve as repeater and amplifier for their conclusions.

Another wrong assertion. That I have disagreed with your opinion has now made me an amplifier of other people's view. Well, that is how you know someone who is loosing an argument - making statements without facts.

In the case of Obaseki, you are not an authority. I am also not an authority. It is only facts that can make us align.

Why not test your position by charging him to court? Then, I can take you serious. Outside this, you not better than any uninformed individual.

seanfer:
Do you have eye problem or you don’t know that I m not the OP. Just explaining to you how law works.

Do you have eyes and brain problems? You quoted me and I rebuffed your assertion.

Again, you don't have the powers to say they are different. Even, Ortom's case is worse. He contested, lost and jumped ship. Obaseki was not even allowed by his estranged godfather to contest at all.

The Nwosu's case you are even brandishing is different. He was disqualified because he was nominated by two political parties. Obaseki was never nominated by two political parties. You cannot beat a child and tell him or her not to cry.

Edo is not Lagos. We the 'edo n'uzomo' and all the good people of Edo State will decide who will be our next governor.

seanfer:
Ortom's case is not a basis for Nwosu's case.... Ortom happened in 2014 and the Supreme Court judgement came in 2019.. no comparism

Then, take him to court and stop hallucinating on a public forum. You don't have the powers to say the cases are different.

MetaPhysical:
Obaseki in last election ran for office under APC. So he is currently on APC ticket. In order to escape Nwosu's fate, Obaseki must resign membership from APC. He must also resign from Governorship under APC mandate. If he continues the APC mandate for the term and campaigns under PDP, this will end up a double membership. Its okay if he is not challenged in court....but if he is he risks loss.

Your poor logic is really stinking. Why did you not tell Amaechi, Saraki, Tambuwal and all the legislators that have crossed from one party to another while in office to relinquish their positions? You are so fixated on Obaseki. Take it easy before it will lead to a sorrowful situation.
