Theflint1 dey worry about Edo North while Obaseki was busy losing Edo South.

OasisX:



...........Obaseki lost his LG?! LOL!

APC won Oredo. Even me surprise.

raumdeuter:


What will be different?

The 2 major parties used money to buy votes
The 2 major parties used intimidation where they couldn't buy votes
LP didn't have the financial and physical muscle to match the 2

At the end, you need to be popular on ground to even rig successfully

As we await the final result

The election had low voters turnout but it was largely peaceful. I'm not sure there were any incidents of violence sef.

Itsrm:


E pain me sha. Much as I dislike Obaseki, always liked Asue and wanted him to win.

If not for anything, to at least send a message to APC national that all is not well.

As it stands, the result will boost their confidence in Aso rock

No lies. I actually expected APC to lose woefully especially with the last petrol price increase.

Theflint1:
The people saying Obaseki failed are mostly from outside the state

He wasn't revolutionary, but I'd take him over any governor the state has had since 1999. It's just sad that the man's coconut head was probably too much and this won him a lot of enemies... probably was hated even before he won first tenure sef, given his family's history with the palace.

PDP gave Osun Adeleke, APC decided that by any means necessary they'd give Edo Monday. This is what complete state capture looks like.

Monday winning is state capture? 😂

Monday seat will be vacant in Senate. Asue should run for it without the baggage of Obaseki.

GloriousGbola:



is it implied that olumide is playing the long game and this was a learning exercise for him?

Maybe.

Itsrm:
This guy posted this since July

APC won Egor that PDP hasn't lost in 20yrs.

That's to tell you how much Obaseki affected PDP

liveLongNprospa:


That was fast.
PDP nor fit blame LP😂

The election was more against Obaseki than Asue.

izzou:


Even if they had picked there, would anything have changed? How come Akpata didn't win Edo South?

Shebi na make my life improve be the koko? If i was from Edo, I'd rather not vote, than campaign for Obaseki.

I trust Obaseki. He is shameless. He will soon decamp to APC and leave all his supporters inside potopoto.

Well, at least they all should be happy. Edo Central don win.

Olumide didnt win Edo South because

1: Na baby politician

2. Rotation of Govenorship among the 3 zones..

There's no way Olumide want to convince the electorate to vote for another Edo South candidate when the outgoing governor who did poorly was from the same Edo South.

Oshie was Edo North, Did 8yrs
Obaseki was from Edo South, Did 8yrs

That's why both parties picked their candidate from Edo Central because fairly it's the turn of the zone to produce the Governor.

Look at Lagos, even as much as APC is in control, they still rotate Governorship candidate among the 3 senatorial district every 8yrs.

izzou:
I sincerely would have wanted Olumide to win.

Not because of Obi or anything, but when systems fail, the people should have the power to change it.

Obaseki has failed, but because we don't want APC to win, let's vote him for 3rd term, when you clearly had a different candidate to pick.

Anyhow wey the election go, make una enjoy.

Now, back to 2027.

LP major mistake was picking a candidate from Edo Edo South when the outgoing Gov was also from Edo South.

Theflint1:
Continue dey clown, a candidate that didn't get 1% of votes cast was inconsequential. At least Edo State elections will prove that all rhose united opposition talks na just yarns, APC would write votes to further whatever narrative they want and win states they're most interested in winning.

See wetin them do Obaseki for INEC Office this morning around 5am.

This happened in Benin, the state capital oh. A supposed stronghold of PDP.

liveLongNprospa:


He really did.
Which is why if he survives this, I hope Asue doesn't inherit his enemies too.

This election is done and dusted already. APC has won.

This should've been a disastrous election for APC though considering how the economy is..

Obaseki must've really stepped on too many toes.

OasisX:




.....PDP ain't an evil party bruh, you've got to believe my friend, Theflint1, on this one. LOL!

Make dem vote for Olumide Akpata, dem no gree.

If Olumide had pull little weight, APC for don win the election by 2pm yesterday.

Itsrm:
Even if you remove papped results, APC still got decent number of votes in Edo State


Is it that Obaseki stepped on too many toes and people will rather drop dead on the road of hunger than vote his puppet.

Thought Nigerians will use the opportunity to send a message to APC National for how they have handled the country.

Same thing that happened to APC in 2020. Obaseki has stepped on alot toes so alignments were against him.

A big part of legacy PDP worked against him.

Itsrm:


Look at PDP result here. Tell me what you see. 94% voter turnout, PDP result changed from NIL to 324. Both of them are election riggers. Aisha Yesufu put it best when she said both PDP and APC results are mirror images of each other.

Funny that you posted this. This is a ward in Egor LG in Edo South, the final result of the LG as announced at the Local coalition, APC won that LG with 4k votes.

Theflint1:
I was specific with voter turnout, winning elections with huge margins is normal, especially when it's in zones you're not strong.

From the results I saw, there was no real battle in Edo South, LP that should have played spoiler barely got 3% of votes cast, so PDP was getting as much as 70% of votes cast... somewhat similar was happening in Edo Central, with PDP getting up to 60% of votes cast... PDP candidate already won in 12/18 LGAs, so what APC has been trying to do is use the votes from Edo North to offset those 12 LGAs and they're doing so with ridiculous voter turnout numbers...it's still not adding up and they're now trying to tamper with those Edo South votes, moving collation centres mid collation.

The final results inec releases will be be funny sha, and we might end up seeing votes from Edo North rubbing shoulders with votes from South and Central (about 80% of the states population).

Bros na only you know where you dey get this thing wey you type.

Before I slept last night, the only officially announced result I saw was Egor LG result and APC won that local government with about 4k votes and Egor LG is in Edo South.

Please how is PDP winning 12 LG already when they are officially losing LG in their strongholds? 😂😂😂

Theflint1:
That there'd be 93% voter turn out in polling units in Edo North?

Lol. I've seen results from Edo South that PDP won with ridiculous numbers.

My point then was that APC was going to win Edo North convincingly, battle PDP in Edo South to try and reduce the margin then win Edo Central marginally to win the election.

Theflint1

Remember what I said about Edo election?

patrickmuf:
I have been screaming here.

Our stupid manager was seeing that nonsense since the beginning of the game.

chrisley024:
Our defenders passing ball among themselves. Mehn! Our pace very slow
No intention to win the game

Martinez and De Ligt has been doing that nonsense since game started.

Stupid sideways passes as if we are winning.

De Ligt and Martinez has 1000 passes among themselves.

Zero ball progression. Playing as if we are winning comfortably.

CapitalCee:


Yeah we cashed in too early, I was not happy with his sales. We knew we only had Shaw and Malacia who are injury prone, we went and sold him.

Malacia own is village people.

obonujoker:
So what Mourinho said about Antony Martial turned out to be true 😎

He was absolutely spot on.

Ten Hag is mad.

What is Eriksen starting for?

Eriksen and Mainoo pivot? This man really do want to get sacked.

Segedinho:
Hope Larride is okay

Abi him don japa leave us

I'm good bro.

afrodoc2:


Make the guy no go give himself stroke o. Nobody force am to extend ETH contract.

E dey craze.

Oasis007:


We are cooked. Slot slots in well at Liveepool but Erik still busy building the team. This Nigga has no more business at United.

Position well for the thunder I'm about to send your way.

This ref is mad obviously.

Casemeiro and Bruno are playing for Liverpool today.
