Edo 2016: Iduoriyekemwen picks Okonofua, ex-PDP National Woman Leader as running mate

By Simon Ebegbulem

MR Matthew Iduoriyekemwen, who emerged as the candidate in the primaries conducted by the Modu Sheriff faction of the PDP, has picked the former National Woman Leader of the PDP, Herbetta Okonofua, as his running mate for the election.

Okonofua is from the Central senatorial district of the state, the area where the mainstream candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, also picked his running mate from.

Speaking yesterday, Iduoriyekemwen said, “it was our promise to ensure women empowerment, and if you look at Herbatta, she has always been a PDP leader, she has held several positions both in the state and the Federal, and I am glad she will represent the women folk in our government.”

On the recent court ruling that sacked Modu Sheriff as National Chairman of the party, he said the developments were of little effect as he said that Sheriff had earlier gotten favourable court rulings.

Despite Monday’s Port-Harcourt court ruling stripping him of his powers as national chairman of the PDP and which recognised the Senator Ahmed Makarfi led panel as the authentic leadership of the party, Senator Modu Sheriff yesterday unveiled Matthew Iduoriyekwemwen as the candidate for the governorship contest.

In a ceremony at his Gana Street office, Tuesday evening, Senator Sheriff said the Independent National Electoral Commission was obliged to accept his candidate when he formally presents him to the electoral body.

Senator Sheriff said he would be relying on last week’s judgment by Justice Okon Abang of Federal High Court in Abuja to present.

“It is clear that from Abuja High Court that INEC is obliged to accept the candidate we are to present.

“You know ideally, most of our officials have travelled for Sallah. We need to do this because the first working day we are going to submit our candidate’s form to INEC.

“I have to stay behind to do some of the things so as to ensure that the forms are submitted after the Sallah break,” Sheriff stated.

I am a yoruba man living in Edo State, if accusing POI of partaking in Igbinedion regime is the reason behind APC promoting Saint Obaseki, well, POI got one vote already from me. Is it the same APC led government that could not fix all roads that led to Oba of Benin Palace, wire road, textile mill road, Okada Road, Uwelu Road, Ugbioko/Upper Ekenwa Road, James Watt Road, Court of Appeal Road, Ekpoma Road, Benin/Auchi Road and many more roads that people are complaining of, plus all street lights in Benin not working, no portable water, pure water is now N20/sachet, N70/Bottle due to government multiple taxation, no electricity, no job, no job security for those who have and schools in Edo state are like where you rear animals, and so many things if you ask me, that I will vote for?
Over my dead body. APC can share money and buy over delegates during their primary, they can't buy my conscience. Shame on those who receives 500 Million Naira as Security vote and could not intervene to pay 17months workers salary owned by Egor Local Government but can give N45 million to TE whom he later sacked. God is watching all of us and we'll give account of all our deeds especially that short devil that left all the beautiful ladies in Edo State and go for Someone whose name cannot be pronounced by a SAN. #IwillVotePOIcomeSept2016

EDO in SAFE HANDS GROUP : VOTE GODWIN Obaseki For Governor

Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki fruitful mission to Atlanta -USA

Edos in diaspora passes Vote of confidence on Oshiomhole to hand over to Godwin Obaseki

It is now on record that from among those glamouring to be governor of our dear State including those from the disintegrated Poverty Development Party (PDP ) Godwin Obaseki appeared to be the only candidate devoid of indictment of any finance related offenses, dubious and fraudulent attitude. It is on this note that Edos in diaspora have deemed it fit to invite him for an open endorsement having being conversant with his rich competence coupled with his technocratic capacity to taking Edo state beyond the level Oshiomhole shall stop.
It is imperative to note therefore that as the life of this administration comes to an end, particularly in a situation like this when we are faced with new challenges of drastic low in crude oil price occasioned by PDP bad and retrogressive policies which has reduced the amount of foreign exchange Nigeria earns and our economy in terrible shape and Edo State now getting a lot less from federation account, Nigeria needs to take severe measures in order to fix its economic and social challenges for which Edo state will be not be an exception . In view of this challenges, I think edo needs leadership with fresh and original ideas not just political ideas but developmental ideas suitable enough to take on these new challenges , in order that we can build on and deepen the successes of the current administration under Gov Adams Oshiomhole De great . This is why the leadership of the All Progressives Congress ( APC ) in collaboration with the party delegates voted en mass for him to fly its flag at the general polls. The only course of action to this is that, we now found a man who is courageous and determined enough to extend the successes of the current administration towards achieving the aspirations of Edo people

Forward Ever , Backward Never

VOTE GODWIN OBASEKI 4 GOVERNOR

It's unfortunate that Mr. Admin will reduce himself and turn this page to a lie spreading page. Those dayz, I do get my news from here but it's been confirmed that news here aren't to be trusted cos Nairaland has been hijacked and been used by Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu's boys.

This lies can only last for a short period and Edo will certainly GO further with Godwin Obaseki.
