barrister fergie001, rock the boat as how. Don’t you see that pastor iyamu want to hijack structures from Adam Oshimole niii. APC going, gone. Obaseki dey do his assignments well. Edo Pdp is much United now

Is shuaibu and orbih with obaseki

OVB123:
He was supporting idahosa to emerge as candidte of the apc and the man has lost. Garfield1 has gone into hiding.

He has always supported okpebholo but accepted idahosa due to party loyalty

sgtponzihater1:
Esan at last. Equity, justice, having a common table. May they bring development to Edo state and Esan Land.

All thanks to Gov Obaseki who put his foot down to ensure that his Deputy does not succeed him- his whole hearted commitment to support Asue Ighodalo is the reason APC is playing catch up with Monday abi na Tuesday Akpubololo 😂


We dont want career politicians to Rule Edo State again - all those stomach infrastructure politicians and cultist like Ize Iyamu and Phillip Shaibu - we want Governors who are technocrats- who have a second address aside from politics- people who have built their private lives and businesses to an enviable standard, whi have achieved something great out side of politics- not agberos

See the damage that the Agbero-in-Chief without verifiable age, certificate, career accomplishments and integrity is doing to Nigeria right now - You honestly think any one of these - Osibanjo, Obi, Ighodalo, Emir Sanusi, Ezekwesili, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Pat Utomi, AfDB Adesina, were to be Nigeria’s President right- we will be swinging this low with cluelessness at Aso Rock ?

orbih faction has surrendered their arsenals to Obaseki fc. Na Shaibu I dey pity pass. Shaibu is on his own

billionman:
This is a tactical move by the APC. Both Ighodalo and Okpebholo are from Esan (Edo central), but Okpebholo seems to be more grassrooted than Ighodalo. Will the Esans prefer Okpebholo, seeing that he's coming through APC or will they stick to Ighodalo who is from their preferred party, the PDP. Either way, I see Ighodalo as the next governor because the political odds will favour him considering how the game will pan out in the other two senatorial districts, and he being Obaseki's candidate. Let's watch and see how it plays out

APC will win Edo Central. Ighodalo can't speak Esan and Obaseki is deeply hated in Esan because I don't think he's even aware that Esan is part of Edo. If Oshiomole works for APC in Edo North, APC will win easily

Jeje247:
is he related to Matthew okphebholo?

No, he is not. Matthew Okphebholo is from Esan North East LG while Monday is from Esan Central LG

seunmsg:


Will Oshiomhole and his Edo north people back him considering the bad blood from the primary election?

The guy is popular in Edo Central though. He defeated PDP for the first time since 1999 to emerge as senator representing Edo Central. The Benin people of Edo South have no candidate in this election so their votes will be divided depending on the candidate of LP. If Oshiomole can deliver Edo North for him, he may win the election.

APC won edo centra because of the protest vote against Ordia who greedily wanted 3rd term.

Redhot111:



Not so. But contrarily his talk talk made ize iyamo Lost his election. And again his supported candidate just lost out again

Him supporting denco is another disadvantage and will put off people in Edo south.okpeboholo having no godfather toga is a big advantage

senatordave1:

That guy na clown

He got it right this time. The way it is now, there's no way Okpebholo will win Edo State election. The sabotage will be devastating. Mark it down!

senatordave1:

I swear. We the Edo people mo dey like godfatherism

senatordave1:


He has no choice after all he gave him senate ticket

The humiliation will not allow oshobaba to work for him. Since they spite him, he'll spite them back in the main election. They'll do it discretely. The sabotage will be ruthless.

because of what? you cant even answer your own question, right ?

Obaseki told Esan people in 2020 relection campaign that it is their turn to produce the next governor and he kept to his word, and he is not hated - Obaseki cant speak bini language - Yes i said so because I know him personally- his mother is from Owan and he speaks Ora perfectly BUT that didnt stop the Binis from voting for him - You seem not to understand Edo politics- the time for Agbero politics is over

The market women remember how Igbinedion used Bob Izua to torment them - How Oshiomole used Tony Kabaka to humiliate them
all in the name of revenue generation and they do not want a return to that era


The politics of share the money is over in Edo State - people want to see development- not agbero disturbing the streets - APC is agbero people congress- we dont want them in Edo State

Indispensable85:

The sabotage from who? From odubu and afegbua? Sabotage for obaseki to continue ruling Edo? Can't you see that the party is united behind okpebholo? Dah,you surprise me.guy,I like oshio but so many party members are discontented with his leadership style.
If you give it to denco,esan people will massively vote for pdp the way ebira people voted for ododo.now that esan is opening up,you want them to push them back to pdp? .you know that Edo south people are indifferent,they won't give denco bloc votes.

because I don't think Obaseki even knows Esan exists. I have never heard of Obaseki coming to Esan or doing anything here. He only gallivant around Benin.
I don't understand Edo politics when I'm literally Esan. Ighodalo will lose woefully here in Edo Central. If Oshiomole doesn't sabotage APC in Edo North PDP will lose. I was actually going to vote PDP when I heard Idahosa or whatever they call him was APC's candidate but now I will vote APC

Politics is not like that sir.yoi don't know what happened behind closed doors.for okpebholo to have won,the presidency and nwc must have affirmed.he wasn't humiliated,rather he humiliated himself by arrogantly imposing denco as if the others are kids.what nonsense.what happens to consultations? Is that how tinubu imposed ambode and sanwoolu? Didn't you see the horsetrading that took place

Liverpoolfc:

Why didn't they vote for Lp

senatordave1:


Can oshiomhole alone deliver denco? So you prefer majority of the party being against it's candidate

It's about who can win election. Go and check the last election results. The only person that won election in Edo is Oshiomhole. The only LGAs won by Tinubu are from Oshiomhole's district. Those people you're calling majority lost in all their polling units, wards and LGAs.

For me, I love it this way. Let him quietly stay away from the election. Let's see what the so called majority can produce.

senatordave1:


I agree,anenih was a good diplomat hence the nickname Mr fix it.if you say he won because ordia wanted to go against zoning,how come oshiomhole who went against zoning won? Even the sen in lp in Edo south went against zoning? Why didn't they vote lp which win presidential?

i meant the senate seat o in esan

I am saying that's why okbeholo emerged senate it is even now he has even played politics by defeating oshomole

I give him his respect now, I also respect ize iyamu he has really shown oshomole say no be noise

I might vote okpebolo he should distance himself more from oshomole and not even take a deputy from his cos it would backfire

He should choose a level headed bini man from ize iyamu camp

senatordave1:


Why didn't they vote for Lp

esan Way it's very straight

It's either they do pdp or use apc the supposed enemy to pass a message of protest

You forget that the dynamics in presidential is different from guber.if oshiomhole stays away and apc loses,he is finished.

You lie.esan always vote pdp no matter what.something extraordinary like obi must make them vote otherwise.one thing about edolites is that they vote for those they like and they like okpebholo

The senator should extend a hand of fellowship to shaibu and call osho baba's bluff

fergie001:

I was saying it down there that Oshio will likely rock the boat. The fact is that he looks likely the person that might to a large extent determine who goes to Osadebey Avenue becajse of Edo N.

You just nailed it. If Oshiomhole doesn't work wholeheartedly for Monday Okpebholo, he's toast already. It means there'll be no bloc votes from Edo north.

They wrote this primary results in such a way to embarrass him. How can you give Denco 200 in Oshiomhole's LGA and give Okpebholo 900? Come on now! If na me I go show dem pepper for the main election.

Edo central still remains the strong hold of the PDP. Okpebholo became Senator because of the 3rd term ambition of senator Clifford ordia.

Plus and minus I see Asue Ighodalo winning eventually and APC continuing their opposition in the Edo State. By the way if not for sentiments, nobody in this race comes close to Asue Ighodalo in competence and capacity.

its what I was thinking here

A lot of people were already set on Ighodalo cos of denco but since okpebolo is on its fair enough

Atleast he can end the cycle of oshomole and obaseki godfathers but I need to know what he has done in his almost one year as senator to decide

I know asue outclass him in cv and talking but I have to give him his respect too cos he seems dogged

seunmsg:


This guy broke a record last year by defeating the PDP candidate to emerge as the Senator representing Edo Central. He is very popular and a grassroots man in Edo Central. If Oshiomole can mobilize for him in Edo north, he will win the election.

Leave all this nairaland boys that don't know their left from right.
This guy only needs edo north landslide to win and guess who will be delivering the votes for him. Almighty Philip Shaibu

EdoGovernor2024:
2023 PROPHESY FULFILMENT IN 2024: SENATOR MONDAY OKPEBHOLO IS EDO STATE GOVERNOR 2024:

FIRST, let me say a BIG THANK YOU to Nairaland for publishing my political prophesy/calculation in 2023 that Senator Monday Okpebholo will emerge the next Governor of Edo State in 2024.

Many persons said I was wrong. Some few persons believed me.

Take Note of the following:

1. As at today (22/01/24), Senator Monday Okpebholo is the MOST PROMINENT Aspirant among the 6 APC aspirants shortlisted out of 29 aspirants for primary election of the APC for Governorship Aspirants.

2. Only PDP has been winning Edo Central (Esan Land) Senatorial Elections since 1999!

3. Even when the VERY POPULAR Oshiomhole (APC) was the Governor of Edo State, PDP continued to win Edo Central (Esan Land) Senatorial Elections!!!

4. Then came the VERY POPULAR GRASSROOTS POLITICIAN AND PHILANTHROPIST, Senator Monday Okpebholo, in 2023. He contested election for the FIRST TIME in his life and won as APC Senator in Edo Central (Esan Land) Senatorial District. This man that broke a 24 years record against PDP during the tenure of a PDP Governor (Obaseki) is a POLITICAL BULLDOZER!!!

5. Senator Monday Okpebholo has been SPIRITUALLY EMPOWERED to become the next Governor of Edo State because the MILLIONS OF PEOPLE he has affected their lives positively through his PHILANTHROPIC activities are PRAYING FERVENTLY AND POWERFULLY for him to become the next Governor of Edo State. Remember, Edo State is a Spiritual State. Everything has been settled Spiritually.

6. Apart from been LOVED by the General Public, Senator Monday Okpebholo is LOVED by President Tinubu, Senator Oshiomhole (LEADER of APC in Edo State), The Senate President and APC Senators all over Nigeria. No wonder a FIRST TIME Senator (Senator Monday Okpebholo) was made Chairman of A VERY POWERFUL SENATE COMMITTEE (Public Procurement) reserved for seasoned senators.

7. With the general acceptance that it is the turn of Edo Central (Esan Land) to produce the next Governor of Edo State, who could be more qualified than the CURRENT CHAMPION (FIELD MARSHALL) of Edo Central (Esan Land) Politics, Senator Monday Okpebholo?

8. Senator Monday Okpebholo is a Quiet, Soft Spoken, Humble, Respectful, KIND Philanthropist and an Accomodating Team Player that understands the SUFFERINGS of the masses because himself SUFFERED in life to rise to his present position in life.

9. I can write/speak AUTHORITATIVELY about Senator Monday Okpebholo because I am an elder to him in his hometown community (we are from the same Uwessan community). I know him from childhood. I was his teacher in secondary school days at Ujabhole Grammar School (they used to call me "teacher happy man". I became his mentor when I was writing "Positive Thinking" Column for the Nigerian Observer Newspaper in Benin City from 1984 to 1990. I was also propagating "Positive Thinking" on Radio Bendel and NTA Benin then.

10. Some people will say I know nothing about politics. Maybe and maybe not. Let me introduce myself further. From 2000 to 2007 I was the National Coordinator of Righteousness Leadership Foundation, working directly with Chief Dr Gbolade Osinowo who was then the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Political Matters to Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo (1999 to 2007) and later Acting Chief of Staff to Late President Yar'dua. Chief Dr. Gbolade Osinowo was the Chairman of the Board of Trustees for Righteous Leadership Foundation while I was the National Coordinator. Gbenga Aruleba featured me in his Political Program on AIT Television in 2007 in an EXPLOSIVE debate with the then Secretary General of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC). I am knowledgeable and experienced in practical politics and political mobilization.

11. Can APC defeat PDP in Edo State? Check out this: APC won TWO Senatorial Districts out of the THREE Senatorial Districts in Edo State in 2023 Elections. Labour Party won ONE Senatorial District. PDP won NOTHING!!! (PDP won NO Senatorial District). Someone said it was so because Obaseki faction and Orbih faction of PDP were fighting. Are they not still fighting in 2024? Someone also said the leading Aspirant of PDP (Asue Ighodalo) and PDP itself has more money for election than Senator Monday Okpebholo and APC. Dey Play. Senator Monday Okpebholo is a VERY WEALTHY Owner of an INTERNATIONAL COMPUTER (ICT) COMPANY (Silent Billionaire). The ruling party in Nigeria is APC with Federal Government Money and a TRILLIONAIRE Party Leader (President Tinubu).

12. I am ready to Debate with Anybody Anywhere on this matter of Edo Governorship Election 2024. Your comments on this topic (for or against) are welcomed. All your questions on this topic will be answered by me.

13. THANK YOU for reading this topic. God bless you.

You are not a candidate to the election so why would any reasonable one debate a praise singer who is not a stakeholder.

How many candidates will APC declear?

NzogbuNzogbu:
i meant the senate seat o in esan

I am saying that's why okbeholo emerged senate it is even now he has even played politics by defeating oshomole

I give him his respect now, I also respect ize iyamu he has really shown oshomole say no be noise

I might vote okpebolo he should distance himself more from oshomole and not even take a deputy from his cos it would backfire

He should choose a level headed bini man from ize iyamu camp

You are now getting it.he is a strong man.first he won in esan for the first time and now he won against oshio candidate.
Even asue is trying to distance himself from oshiomhole
He must choose his deputy from oshiomhole camp to at least pacify him and draw him closer.he must concede it to oshiomhole even if he rejects it.him and iyamu are already in the same camp.i suggest he picks denco or val aisuen

senatordave1:


You forget that the dynamics in presidential is different from guber.if oshiomhole stays away and apc loses,he is finished.

It's not about dynamics bro. It's about your connection with your people. This is what Oshiomhole has that the others don't. Even in the days of Buhari na only Oshiomhole district Buhari dey win for Edo State. He delivers in any election irrespective of dynamics. In the last guber election, the only 5 LGAs won by Ize Iyamu were from Oshiomhole's district. Ize Iyamu lost his LGA and all the LGAs in his district.

As hot as the Obidient movement in Edo in the last election, it was only in Edo north that Obi didn't win any ward. Obi cleared every other LGAs in Edo south and Edo central with wide margins. You don't embarrass a man like that. Atleast give him his local government when you're writing your primary results.

Writing the results in such a way to create the impression that he's a nobody in the political calculations is going to the extreme. If na me I go do them Wike by denying them that bloc votes from Edo north. Let's see how they'll win the election.

Ogiame:
Esan West
Esan Central, Esan North-East are already on lockdown for Ighodalo.

Okpebolo will sweep the Edo North.

Nah you lock am?

Oblitz:
Hmm

He won't still win the elections.
He's not ugly enough

You’re wicked, I saw what you did there 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ogiame:
Esan West
Esan Central, Esan North-East are already on lockdown for Ighodalo.

Okpebolo will sweep the Edo North.

Which Edo north? Just dey play 🤣
I pray oshobaba stays away from this election, let's see how he'll sweep the Edo north.
