He is but obviously not wanted by oshio as he was screened out

I guess zoning no favour am. So I think the final candidate wont be from the same zone as Pastor Iyamu

It's not just zoning they are considering but age and political control.oshiomhole wants someone that he can always control and he can't control iyamu.iyamu is not his godson or part of his political empire.i suspect he is considering sen okpebholo and col imuse from the central and hon idahosa from the south.

aswani:


Stop it, we are being serious here.

Go back to the part of Politics section where you and your friends abuse President Tinubu about everything wrong that has befallen you.

Kai,you Sabi him and his foolish modus operandi

Penguin2:

What is of paramount importance to you?

A governor that is fluent in Esan?

Or a governor with the pedigree to make Edo work?

Obaseki failed in Edo and he will likely bring a failure like him and he is bringing another of his business partners based outside with no strings tied to Edo apart from blood.

Talking of the language part,not being able to speak your language politically is a minus as it shows he doesn't value his people,his culture.you want to rule over those you are not culturally attached to? How na? Asue is just an emergency candidate who was just told to prepare for governor last year by obaseki,an accidental politician like obaseki and gej.edo needs someone who is familiar with the terrain,lives among them,understands them and has contributed to it's devt and prepared for public service long ago.a good example is sen okpebholo

raumdeuter:


Pastor wont go to LP cos he will burn bridges. He can position himself for Senate in his District or ministerial, once he goes to LP he don join bad gang and will be blacklisted. If he is an experienced politician I expect him to stay loyal to APC

APC will follow dem drag for central and South, Know that APC is in FG and many politicians looking to chop from Federal shop will want to deliver for APC now. Thats why you see many opposition politicians gradually twerking for APC so you can keep open your link to appointments

Many know that is they work for PDP and Asue losses thats the end, but if they work for APC even if they lose they can get compensation from Federal. That is why all those getting screened out in APC are not going haywire. The hope of Federal appointment or to fill Edo state slots in FG Boards

Anyone going to LP is just to gather twitter clout and that seems like what Olumide Akpata will be doing

APC strategy is clear North 90%, split South 50-50 and try collect 30% from Central

True,if pastor had gone for senate,he would have won since.he can still go for senate and try in 8 years time.going to lp doesn't diminish his standing afterall he was originally in pdp before joining acn in 2007 and then becoming pdp candidate in 2016.it is all about interest.
But no part of Edo can give above 70% votes due to its cosmopolitan nature.like you said,Edo south esp Benin metropolis will be divided.i think if apc picks from esan,they will also divide votes or even win there

LP is a step backward, In all off cycle elections its sure that LP will lose, So why will he want to disgrace himself by losing when he can step down and negotiate Senate in 4yrs? Who is the Senator for his district currently? if its not APC then its a chance for APC to pick that seat and body LP from that seat

If APC picks from Esan that means 50-50 even slightly favor APC with federal presence,
Split Edo South. You think with how PDP messed up Gani and with Oshimole control, you think APC cannot get 70% in Edo North? Last senate in Edo North Oshiomole for 110k vote and Alimikhiena for 50K

garfield1:


The last elections in Edo showed how it will be.apc took second in presidential,second in state assemblies and first in federal.edo will be taken by all means and you know this so why are you receiving yourself boy? Don't you learn?

Continue taking by force.

One day monkey go go market, e no go return.

Or you think you lots will do this rubbish without response from the people forever?

aswani:


One that understands the terrain, clearly Ọbasẹki doesn't and Asuẹn Ighodalo won't if he is being "godfathered" by Ọbasẹki.

Let them familiarise themselves with the locals first and see what's on ground.

Gelegele seaport is an example of what is not important to the locals but Ọbasẹki was at one point making it a priority. That one is dead and buried now thankfully after lots of consultant fees were no doubt funnelled into non local pockets.

A complete disrespect to the person of the Ọba, with the returned artefacts, is another example of Ọbasẹki's lack of understanding of his environment

Lucky was a local of sorts and can be used as a counter argument but he was a total slowpoke.

In summary, you lots are looking for who will share the money. I get it.

Burning bridges and being blacklisted for carpet crossing, no bi Ẹdo politics, abeg forget dat wan.

Pastor that Baba Oshio verbally torched (no yabbis wey Baba no yab am) when he was PDP candidate going against Ọbasẹki at APC.

Fast forward 4 years and the candidates reversed parties and Oshio baba was batting for him, this time as APC candidate AGAINST Ọbasẹki at PDP.

Loyalty and shame don comot Ẹdo politics long time ago.

Let them conduct a credible election, LP will win

aswani:


Hmm, that is a strong field but Agba was a commissioner under Bàbà Oshio plus I doubt governorship would go from Ẹdo South to Ẹdo South so that might knock out your last two.

Make we siddon dey look sha.

Whoever gets the APC ticket is winning, clearly PDP have given up already in allowing Ọbasẹki to not only have a say in choosing their aspirant but letting him handpicked one of his Planwell boy boy from Lagos.

As for LP, even if Peter Obi himself campaigns in Edo state from now till election day, whoever they nominate is coming a very very distant third.

Thats the only way APC win elections;rigging

garfield1:


Lol,APC is winning Edo sir even if it's by forceful rigging

Why are you mentioning Igbos in Edo election?

APC winning Imo state was due to rigging. APC will not win a free and fair election anywhere in SS/SE

aswani:


Maybe in Central as they've always been PDP but I am not sure that is true for South. APC is confirmed in Edo North.

The (so called) Ndigbo hatred for APC/Yoruba/President Tinubu, bear with me, is not as strong in Edo south.

For APC to win in Imo state even shows that that hatred isn't South East wide.

All of this is my opinion sha, may the Good Lord keep us all till election day and beyond in good health. Expect some twist and turns as well as carpet crossing too along the way.

GEJ performed far more than Bubu and Tinubu so far so what are you saying?

LP are not a factor, eventually like Kogi stare, they will have to collapse their weak structure.

aswani:


PDP tend not to bother with Ẹdo north sane as APC look the other way in Edo central. It's Ẹdo south that is the tie breaker.

I have a feeling Pastor will go to LP and chance Àpáta to collect the nomination after being screened out in APC. The man is a cat with nine lives.

Edo north is divided into three parts,Etsako,owan and akoko Edo.PDP is focusing on owan and akoko Edo while oshiomole is from Etsako.During the last house of assembly election,PDP won owan that's why the speaker is from there

Again, let INEC conduct credible election and lets see the outcome. Ofcourse, I know INEC is a fraud

Or did you see me say any of the parties should give their ticket to an Igbo man to govern Edo?

Where’s this trash coming from?

Your views about the Ẹdo elections are an LP party political broadcast, they are a needless and useless nonsensical distraction based on nothingness when matched against the quality of what other posters on the thread are sensibly discussing.

Go back to all the threads were you are crying about Peter Obi's loss to President Tinubu and channel your anger in there to abuse and insult Ndi Yoruba and President Tinubu.

Must you leave your smell on all threads, President Tinubu supporters will turn up now and you and them will derail the thread that has nothing to do with any of you.

Dey go bikonu.

You people joke too much.

PDP will win Edo Governorship election while LP will come second.

The guy that Obaseki is projecting is loaded and qualified in all ramification to be the next governor of Edo state.

Edo people will not vote APC even Jesus is their flagbearer.

Trash.
That is how Obaseki is loaded with qualifications. Yet, he ended up as a disaster. Obaseki is presently the worst Governor in Nigeria. He did nothing in Edo in the past 7 and half years as Governor

aswani:


If truth be told, Pastor was a weak APC candidate plus Godwin played the tribal card against Oshio Baba.

I am yet to meet a Benin person that fell for his 4 + 4 torgba that still likes him.

Like I said, before now Lucky was easily the worst governor, now it is between Lucky and Godwin for the worst governor.

This oncoming choice must be the right one in Edo state because there is so much to fix.

Comparing lucky with Obaseki is like comparing former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello with Wike. When they were both Governor's.

Obaseki is the true definition of FAILURE.
