Eriokanmi:
What do you expect from nairalanders APC followers from lagos and Osun states? Please just ignore all of them, my advice. Na dem full here with only scanty numbers of us from Edo as members. I watched his speech last night @ Channelstv news @ 10. Obaseki would be so stuupid to keep quiet when some people are planning to invade the state from other places to do their usual evil on election day. If I see any strange face at my ward, na to keep eye on them till the make any attempt to snatch ballot. Na Opia go do the justice, we no dey fear anybody

mumu,dem go jxt kill u like fool for nothing,if u like no get sense. Obaseki no go knw say person like u exist for this life.

Online campaign Sha....

@OP if you guys are not paid well for all these your posts, you are in for a long thing...

The battle ground is south where over 61% of the votes come from...

If you are privy to the mindset of an average voter on the streets of Benin regarding this election... They are majorly for the current gov...

Edo Central is a done deal for the gov...

North has the current Deputy who is also a movement and can get more than 50%...

Any attempt to rig the election could cause massive rejection that would surprise many..

And most interestingly, the opposion or pastor as the case may be has nothing they accuse the gov for, not incompetence, not corruption, not Nepotic vices, not lawlessness..... BUT BECAUSE HE STOPPED THE NORMS OF ALLOWING GOVT FUNDS GET TO INDIVIDUAL POCKETS

stopped what?,after all this write up,u now seem so dumb,are u seriously tryna tell me dat govt funds didn't get to individuals in pdp pockets?seriously dude? Damn man,how could someone still think the way u do,u are free to support whomever u wish,but dnt be too stupid

Heffalump:
Obaseki has seen his defeat? I laugh with open teeth like Buhari

If indeed APC is convinced of winning the Edo State gubernatorial election, why resorting to calling eligible voters in Benin City via their mobile phones and soliciting for their votes? This is an act of desperado that will not change the minds of the good people of Edo State. They have decided! The right choice is Obaseki. Oshiomhole is marketing a bad product, a thief as Ize Iyamu.

Oshiomhole is an evil man himself. Should Ize Iyamu win, God forbid bad thing he will still fight him dirty and the State will suffer for it. We say NO TO GODFATHERISM IN EDO STATE.

did u really just ask why they are calling the electorates? Man u're sick,u could v just ask y dey are campaigning now.

kolade560:
so u wanna vote thief, cultist and looter and still come here to disturb us of joblessness?
kwantinue

so osho is d reason u're jobless now abi? Dnt b a fool bruv

teekay213:
lol dem won do like PDP why dem no fit go to palace to meet oba

lol please remb to ask this question wen apc kicks off der campaign. If u live in edo you would know how the oba of benin cherishes capt hosa.but none of ya'll do,una go too cry wen election end sha

Benbellamor:
Imagine Adams oshiomole was clapping alone, na wa o

When when only you na im remain for dancefloor.

you see why i always say 90% of obasekis supporters are not Edo indigenes,they haven't even stepped foot in edo in der entire lives,only ppl who live in edo will know what dey wer doing,that isn't clapping.una just dey naive i swear.too dull.

searchng4love:
APC met a fiercer power.... Do anyhow see anyhow

are you seriously trying to compare pdp thugs with that of apc in edo state? Do you even live here? Thugs are even somtin we should be proud of but pdp supporters una no first get sense,if pdp try to use thugs,den surely federal might will get involved,add that with apc thugs already,obaseki should jxt use his sense if not ehn e wont get upto 20% votes.

hotplate:
oshiomole is lucky that obaseki doesn't play his kind of dirty politics otherwise the media space would have been flooded with videos and fact of oshiomole highhandedness during his time as the Governor. haven't said that his presence here is to cast his only one vote which he his entitled to anything more would be strongly resisted by Edo people who has since made up their mind and become resolute in ensuring victory for governor Godwin Obaseki

oga speak 4 urself,which 1 b edo ppl.nobody like obaseki for my lg

utenwuson:
Campaign going on with massive crowds everywhere, yet they won't allow tertiary institutions to open cos of the useless audio covid 19.

If government owned tertiary won't open cos of the useless ASUU, at least open privates universities to operate.

Oshiomole is shameless, campaigning for the same man he lambasted just four years ago with unprintable names is just weird to me....

You called him a thief, a looter, armed robber, cultists, rapist, finished law and never a lawyer, acid pourer.... And you still got the effrontery, the audacity, the temerity to raise his hand in shame simply because you want to lord over a state.....

Go n die

ok but what about pdp campaigning for a man they called a failure jxt months ago?

Zeezy81:
As regards the captain Hosa's claims, I'll like us to take a cue from the case of Bua and Dangote. Dangote cement and Bua cement are owned by two harsh business rivals from the same kanu state. So long as both men hold the same business interests, there is bound to be conflict.

Recall also that apart from his excellency being the governor of Edo state , he is also a big player in the oil and gas industry. Like the Chinese will say " business is war and all is fair at war"
I will advise Capt Hosa to consider his fears as a simple business strategy from a competitor and seek some professional help rather than go around whining.

obaseki a competitor to capt hosa? What are u even saying naaa,habaa,y obaseki supporters b like dis self.see theory wey person carry come,so obaseki na billionaire oil mogul? U jxt be mumu.

Zeezy81:
When you are done reading, kindly enumerate 10 things Oshiomole, Lucky, and by extension Ize Iyamu did for the same State while they held sway.

After that, do well to point out Obaseki's sins.

I honestly want to know what he did wrong. I am mon-partisan, whatever will grow Edo is all I'm up for.

Thanks.

comparing oshiomhole's achievements with obaseki's own and u say u're none partisian,do u even live in edo? Its obvious u support obaseki and dats fine,but dat doesn't gv u d right to be stupid.

SaintBeehot:
Last last we'll be hearing something like, I thank the people of edo state for voting in truth. I'll like to call on my brothers from both parties to work with me for the progress of edo state in general. Obaseki come back to APC and let make Edo state great again- Ize iyamu post elections speech.

obaseki wey go run comot naija,lol trust edo lagos or abuja,shame no go let am stay

osesology:
Very funny analysis. We in Edo knows how its playing out. Make una dey online for there dey do online poll. Majority of Edo south are with their son, Obaseki, Shaibu has more support in Edo north than Oshiomole presently, and, of course, Edo central is traditionally PDP.



End of story

lol,wer in edo north,south or central do u even know,i like how u foolishly talk end of story sha,mke inec no jxt boda do election,mumu,keep deceiving ur self,u go jxt get high bp,for absolutely notin.

MrOjay1:
Imagine Oshiomole's ignorant arrogance.
Trying to foister a candidate whom he publicly called a thief in 2016 on the people of Edo State as governor.

how about imagine pdp ignorant arrogance trying to foister a candidate whom they publicly called a failure not even up to two months back? Since u no get sense,try imagine dah 1

plusfield:
PDP is still the most democratic party in Nigeria. That's the only place you still semblance of democratic process in display.

see y i dnt take pdp supporters seriously,jxt imagine wetin dis nigerian jxt yarn. Una too foolish abeg

Soulsymbol99:
And people r hailing and shouting Oshobaba,same people been subjected to poverty.wot a country.

because na oshiomhole put dem for poverty abi?obaseki wey be governor u no go blame am,see urself

martineverest:
if u are psychological u will know that ize-iyamu is seeing signs of defeat already with his body language

body language?? Who b dis 1 again? Nairaland sha, so u can see his body language like dis�

MrOjay1:
Both Obaseki and Iyamu are criminals but the people of Edo State should vote a lesser criminal in Obaseki since Oshiomole already hit the final nail on Iyamu's career in 2016.

lesser criminal? Here goes der stupidity again,ize iyamu is accused of stealing 700m,how much was obaseki accused of embezzling to france when his aide got arrested,ok mke we even 4get dah 1 self, hw many billions is obaseki accused of spending to get d pdp ticket? Or obaseki now all of a sudden na legit billionaire? U pdp lots are so hypocritically naive.

Kobicove:
This guy says Obaseki jumped ship to be with strange bedfellows meanwhile he also did the same.

A classical case of the pot calling the kettle black

see why i always say all dis obaseki supporters are so naive and not from edo state,if not,u'd knw dat ize iyamu if more of an apc than a pdp,d man only decamped last 4yrs because oshiomhole was behind obaseki gov ambition,so he needed a new platform

jom28gy:
Where are they working? They are organized group,

see mumu

Maxymilliano:
Just 11 months ?

I believe he would respond appropriately and clear the backlogs

did you jxt say "just eleven months"? You are a big fool!! U see hw obaseki dn brain wash all this ppl?? Going a whe year without salary.. but he has billions to spend on two election forms.

ernieboy:
oga this is propaganda, we know the modus operandi of apc. I don't think a governor even has the power to revoke a valid c of o without reasonable cause, the courts will overturn such a decision

u are obviously naive to d kind of power a sitting gov has,even if it was illegal,na naija u dey,anytin goes.

ernieboy:
he made a lot of money from over bloated govt contracts during Oshomole's tenure, since obaseki assumed office, the contracts have dried up, hence he is fighting the governor.

i hope u have prove of dis sha,una go jxt come nairaland dey yarn with full confidence,about something u knw noting about., hope he told u all dis oo,ode

Nooel1:
They are nothing but political rhetorics. Do you think Obaseki will just wake up and destroy his farms like that?

That man is a bloody apc politician and he's saying this to tarnish the governor's image.

Believe that man at your own peril

some one who has been destroying ppls properties since last 2 yrs? Are u kidding me? I actually pray he burns dis land,so u all knw d kind of dumb tyrant y'all support.

Nooel1:
Go to benin city and mention Obaseki will lose and see if the people won't lynch you.

sharrap there,no be only lynch,come to my street at airport road and see how ppl hate dis obaseki.. una wet no dey stay benin spewing trash here.

One0Random0Girl:
Expose them! These politicians just no wan hear word. When they realize that they cannot win through fair and fair means, they decide to employ thugs.

like pdp wont rig too,dont be dumb pls,we both knw best rigger rigs so,comment with sense.

godgizzy:
Politics it's indeed a dirty venture, so after all the defamatory statement Oshiomole levelled against Ize Iyamu, he is now back again to defend him...

The masses should wisen up, this is an another looting trap

i know right, politics is indeed a venture, was it not few months ago here pdp said obaseki was a failure?? Ansa dis question pls.

Slawormir:
Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright

Nice article
The article was more of obaseki achievement and promises

I pray and hope he fulfill that of the esan....that the next governor would be from esan...
Time for those niggars to also rule...thier turn

But wait o. How i take read this thing from the beginning to the end....weeeeed

and after dis,u still get mind shout "no to godfatherism" u are what? U are a fooool, see how una dey deceive una selfs

Dminister:
Oshio Omo ale is now sneaking into Edo state to do night campaign. How the one time self acclaimed mighty have fallen..Obaseki the slayer of Oshio Omo ale you too strong and powerful. Only one man turned oshio Omo ale to night campaign chieftain of APC

guy shut up,wetin u even dey yarn,i swear some ppl no suppose get privilege to comment, you too dull

jesmond3945:
that's the problem. How can someone come in the wee hours of the night and people troop out to receive him? someone responsible for their present state

oga how is he responsible? U no go blame obaseki abi? Na person wey b former party chairman u fit blame,see as u mumu? U knw wan blame d governor,see urself

jesmond3945:
he doesn't care about him but he is indirectly responsible for the rot that is affecting him as well as you.

dude dont blame your misfortune on someone else,go hustle oshiomhole isn't the governor nor president,get sense.

Web2020:
From that vedio and all the background talks, it's very obvious that it was miscreants who went to welcome him. They didn't represent Edo views.

It is only thieves that would snick into the town at night. Don't be fool by this criminal, he is roundly rejected in Edo. 80 percent of Edolite would vote against Ize-Iyamu because of Oshiomhole.

what time did obaseki inaugurate those house of assembly members loyal to him? Niqqa speak 4 urself only,i'm an edo boy currently living in benin city with a voters card,my vote 100% goes to ize iyamu, obaseki is an hypocritical disgrace.
