He has the Courts in Rivers, he has plenty of Rivers money to throw around. I know secretly he begs and negotiates, that's why he can get people to his side, even though he forms the hard guy in public.

Exactly. Forget all the show. For battles he can't afford to lose, he negotiates and comes to common ground. The guy na thorough politician.

You seem not to know the man. Even Tinubu will call people and appeal to them to have his way but you see Oshiomhole, it's my way or no way.

I watched his endorsement of Idahosa a night before the Primary the arrogance, wow. Just a Wike replica, nothing more nothing less.

Wike is one of the smartest negotiators/politicians.

buhariguy:
and you expect people to vote for obaseki candidate because he is from esan

That's the point!

The PDP aspirant, Asue is a well-known personality within leadership, corporate and government spheres with successes in virtually all his engagements, not just within Nigeria, but globally. Even constantly engaged at the National level irrespective of political party or affiliation; he was the chair of the Economic sovereign team in a previous administration.
Is this the person Obaseki would want to 'control'?

These are pluses for the State, rather than an individual with baggage of fraud, even at the international level. These are even potential leverages the likes of oshiomhole would use against him when he resists being controlled like a puppet.

Moreover, We Edos know who we'll support to lead the State, irrespective of party or subethnicity.

how is asue a stronger candidate? can he even win a ward in his lga in a general election? denco stood against the great igbinedion family and won.

This where you underestimate the Edos. You think Denco put himself there as HOR against the Igbonedions?
How did he 'deliver his ward' against the Igbonedions?

We look out for interests of the State, not ethnic or Oshiomhole's interest.

only esan vote cannot guarantee victory

No zone can win the other two in isolation.

Because Denco is from Edo South does not mean ALL indigenes of Edo South would vote for him.

Edos do not reason in such manner.
We totally reject such divisive, selfish agenda Oshiomhole is attempting to introduce into our State.

A lot of Edo South delegates voted for Sen Okpebholo, as Edo Central delegates also voted for Denco and others; voting patterns were mixed as usual, but hope uzodimma proceeded to make an announcement different from what the REC made.

Politics / Parallel Edo APC Governorship Candidate Emerges by NaMe4: 8:29am On Feb 18
Another candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has emerged as the winner of the All Progressives Congress governorship primary election in Edo on Saturday.

The Returning Officer, Stanley Ugboaja, declared Okpebholo the winner with 12,145 votes.

Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, who is also the chairman of the APC primary election committee, had earlier declared a House of Representatives member, Dennis Idahosa, the winner of the primary election at the Protea Hotel.

However, Ugboaja said he was the right person to announce the result while declaring Okpebholo the winner.

“I am the right person to declare the results of this primary election but unfortunately I was not allowed to finish the announcement. We will continue the announcement here (Ize-Iyamu residence).

“Having scored the highest number of votes, I hereby declare Senator Okpebholo the winner of the election,” he added.

However, the State Publicity Secretary of the party, Peter Uwadiae, described the announcement by Uzodimma as illegal and urged the party hierarchy and APC members to disregard the governor’s action.

He is not miscalculating,he is looking at the miniscule votes from esan,tinubu and rec factor.actually, denco is a good candidate bar zoning

What's miniscule about Esan votes?

Edo South (the largest portion) has 46.5% of the total votes. And that's not even the critical factor as Edos are not fighting against one another; Popular opinion amongst Edolites today is a call for fairness from all zones.

Oshiomhole will simply learn another new political lesson as better qualified candidates with credible track records and repute will be presented and supported on other platforms.
Politics / Re: Edo APC Primary Produces 2 Candidates by NaMe4: 9:15pm On Feb 17
Oshiomhole is terrible in politics. Vindictive and non-calculative. He'll cause a loss for APC in Edo once again.

This misadventure he's embarking upon would leave the political reputation of Denco terribly damaged as well, just as he did to Iyamu.

Every Edolite knows the aspirants well.

With the way it's going, pDP will continue in Edo.

Anyone in doubt should use wikipedia as the major source of information/data for his/her professional exam, if you no go "learn new thing"!


The original idea as an easily accessible digital encyclopedia was a great one, albeit undermined by activities of various people who choose to ignore the importance of facts.

Hope uzodinma will surely deliver any candidate wanted by Oshiomhole. He gave him the ticket against Okorocha in-law years ago. It's time to pay oshobaba back.

I think Dennis idahosa will emerge as APC candidate on Saturday. For me I think it's a wrong calculation by Oshiomhole. He's not a clever politician at all. If the APC loses the election,he should be held accountable.


aswani:


12 aspirants at this stage? I guess some are looking to cash out or position themselves for Deputy governor.

My own personal choice is an Agba/Danko/Denco ticket in any particular order. Obviously two out of three as one is for Gorvenor and the other for Deputy.

Esan agenda rest in peace.



Agba, Danko, Denco = sure loss for APC.

Even Labour sef go show better performance.

Terrible control with players hitting the ball way beyond their own range, the passes, chai.

Nigeria should groom home players who should be well-trained, not this pattern of gathering bench-warmers from various foreign clubs.

Many of these players have questionable IQ.

Many people would prefer travelling by road rather than using a chopper as in most instances, the distance to be travelled isn't that significant.

The problem with choppers is with any mishap, it's almost always fatal.

It's a clarion call for me. Every southern state should sharpen their hoes n cutlass n get back to farm

Major problem with going to farms presently is the general insecurity.

Except for subsistence farming, engaging in farming for transregional supply and export is virtually impossible with the level of insecurity.

Crime / Re: Driver Sets Edo Traffic Officer Ablaze, Flees by NaMe4: 7:41am On Feb 10
It definitely was expected to come to this point.

When everyone acted carefree, allowing charlatans destroy the State.
Most of these touts cannot attempt what they do in Edo in other States - Edo has become a free land to demonstrate idiocy.

Over 90% of commercial drivers and delivery bike riders do not obey traffic lights. They drive past red lights, obstructing traffic and injuring or killing other road users. I have witnessed such accidents.

Even some private drivers have shamelessly joined such low-level behaviour.

The greatest blame goes to Edo State government and the EDSTMA.

When many of them abandon the mandate and turn traffic management to a business venture, compromising the few who intend to work, this is what we would start seeing.


In addition, there are some touts who wear brown polo shirts with black pants and face caps around Oba Market traffic light.
Those ones have instituted severe nuisance there, targeting what they feel are expensive cars for extortion. Meanwhile, bus drivers have become wild chimpanzees at that area.

Crime / Driver Sets Edo Traffic Officer Ablaze, Flees by NaMe4: 7:39am On Feb 10
An unidentified commercial bus driver is said to be on the run after allegedly setting an officer of the Edo State Traffic Management Agency ablaze along Sapele Road in Benin, the state capital.

City Round gathered that the driver of the bus, with registration number Osun FFE 145 XA, violated a traffic rule at Adesua junction along Sapele Road on Friday and was arrested.

One of the EDSTMA officers said the driver became violent when an attempt was made to arrest him.

It was learnt that as soon as a traffic officer was directed to take the vehicle to the office of the EDTSMA, the driver stripped himself naked, took a keg of petrol from his vehicle, poured it on the official and set him ablaze.

Efforts to reach the spokesperson of the EDSTMA, Roland Owolabi, were not successful.

But in a video on social media with pictures of the vehicle, a man suspected to be an EDSTMA official was heard saying, “The driver committed a traffic offence, and officers of the Zone 2 enforcement team apprehended him and asked him to gently take the bus to the base but he refused, he resisted arrest and started fighting everyone.

“At the end of the day, one of the officers was asked to take the bus to the base. The driver brought out petrol, got himself naked, poured the petrol on the officer on the bus and set him ablaze.

“As we speak, the officer is receiving treatment in a hospital here in Benin City. The bus driver is on the run.”

Amongst the PDP aspirants, Asue Ighodalo, who happens to be Esan sits miles ahead of the rest in terms of qualifications, leadership roles and performance, organisational success/achievements, and even philanthropy.

Why is a particular set of aspirants so unsettled? Even if the ticket is handed to any of them, it would be a walkover for APC.
