Why Edo Is The Epicenter Of The Obidients Movement by Odibembem: 7:41am On Jan 14, 2023 |
If elections are held today, Peter Obi of Labour Party will likely pull out about his best performance nationwide in Edo State. Benin City and Edo is about the epicenter of the Obi movement but it is not really because of the love of Peter Obi, it's more as a result of the loss of their first love. It's a product of high level frustration. Let me explain Obaseki by whatever means was able to use propaganda to discredit his predecessor, positioned himself as victim and our brothers from the east, fuelled by the IPOB sympathizing gang pushed the narrative of a heroic Obaseki and satanic Oshiomhole rooted APC from Edo (they all glossed over the injustice by Obaseki in refusing to inaugurate 14 (or 15) elected members of the House of Assembly, they glossed over his demolition of houses of political opponents). Unfortunately Obaseki became a disaster and turned against the same legacy PDP who have him shelter. He decimated the old PDP, their leader Dan Orbih virtually took flight to be staying with Wike in Port Harcourt. Their hope was that Wike would get the PDP presidential ticket so they can have their revenge on Obaseki but Wike lost it to Atiku and the moment he did, the legacy PDP and disillusioned former Obaseki crowd recoiled from PDP and found home with Peter Obi in Labour party. They became so fanatical in their support for Obi as an expression of their frustration with Obaseki and PDP. They could not go to APC for two reasons, firstly cos majority of them were never APC and secondly, the shame of swallowing their vomit after all their praise for Obaseki and insults to Oshiomhole was a pill too hard to swallow. If the legacy PDP faction in Edo did not fall out with Obaseki and the national, Obidients Movement in Edo won't be this strong. Benin City metropolis is fully Obidient, Edo Central, home of the Esans, perhaps only senatorial region in the whole of Nigeria that has never returned a single National Assembly seat for any party other than PDP since 1999, where PDP is a religion and they vote them by default even when they catch the aspirant raping their loved one has become Obidient and for the first time would deliver their votes against PDP for Labour Party. Only no-go area for Peter Obi is Edo North, home of Oshiomhole who is loved by his people for what he delivered as governor. So my permutation for Edo is that Labour wins, APC comes second cos of Edo North and PDP comes from the rear cos no segment of the state where they are popular right now. But know this and have peace of mind, the love for Obi in Edo is out of the pains of the loss of legacy PDP and disaster of Obaseki. And watch out, LP won't win any National Assembly seat in Edo, they won't win up to three house of Assembly seats, if they win any at all. This aggression for Peter Obi is very pointed, zero organic love for Labour Party. Ultimately Edo can never be Lagos or Kano. 2.5m voters can never be 7m voters or 5.9m voters. No matter how much you beat your chest, the minority can never torpedo the majority, votes would be counted and Obi will struggle with Kwankwaso for that covered position of distant third. Know this and have peace of mind |

Edo cannot carry last in any good thing. They have seen the good qualities of a Peter Obi presidency and have keyed in together with hundreds of millions of other Nigerians. Vote right, vote for Peter Obi and Datti Ahmed. 35 Likes 7 Shares

The revolution against Oshiomole and Tinubu actually started in Edo state The "Edo no be Lagos" resonated across Nigeria. I saw how boys dealt with compromised INEC staffs. Osun state showed us another interesting angle. It's now time for All of Nigeria to finish Tinubu's career. It is POssible 23 Likes 4 Shares |

Anyenmoney: Have you checked the national demographics? Nigeria is not same as our Benin City. Calm down, the whole of South South has 15m voters, a zone has 22m and another has 17m and they are not beating their chest like u. Obi wins Edo by small margin but loses Kano, Jigawa, Borno and Kwara Katsina by scandalous margins, what purpose is served? 4 Likes |

Naira20: You got Obaseki with the Edo no be Lagos slogan, he has become the disaster before your very eyes. You still pride yourselves in commuting in ugly tuke-tuke buses while Lagos has moved on to electric speed trains. You may wish Obi for Edo but Nigerians will never wish Obi for Nigeria. Yes Edo can never be Lagos, 2.5m voters can never be 7m voters. You see the gap? 4 Likes |

Guy, it doesn't require great intelligence to get the basics in this issue. One We won't want a Tinubu order us around as he has always dictated for Lagos. Two, We'll choose our own leader and not who a godfather like Oshiomole wants. Three, Obaseki may not be the best but we want freedom. Now concerning PO, When he visited Edo and Obaseki wanted to misbehave, they showed him in clear terms that we know what we are doing. Summary, Edo people and most Nigerians want to take back governance. PO is the only person who will be responsible to Nigerians. So forget all those gaslighting, Nigerians are smarter than you think.

mployer: LOL now you are qualifying votes. All votes are equal and would be counted individually. In the end it's the number that would be tallied and they would bear not qualification. The handwriting is on the wall, Peter Obi will struggle with Kwankwaso for that all important position of distant third. In fact I see his supporters suing Kwankwaso over who actually came third.

Naira20: Some of you listen to fairy tales from propagandists, do you think you in Edo enjoy greater political freedom than those in Lagos? Tell me when last you genuinely elected a local govt chairman, your gov picks them and uses EDSIEC to validate them and you can do nothing. Tell me when a governor of Lagos has ever demolished the house or revoked C of O of a political opponent. Tell me when a Lagos governor ever refused to swear in duly elected members of house of Assembly cos they were from another faction. Many things political opponents do in Lagos u dare not do it in Edo under Obaseki, he would attack your business. You think the captains of industries that sites their business in Lagos feel harassment from Lagos govt? Interestingly it's the poor IPOB and misguided Edo boys that are claiming harassment, shouting Edo no be Lagos, before nko, them be mate? Lagos is a free land, it has its laws so obey it, it has its slums but also has by far the most beautiful settlements in Nigeria. You can never exercise the kind of political freedom u exercise in Lagos in Edo Obaseki would devour you. The two states are not mates, Edo is stuck in the stone age and I can understand why many of you would choose to remain in that age. Lagos has a Metro line, when would we have ours in Edo? Are we sons and daughters of a lesser god 4 Likes 1 Share |
