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.

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.

Don't forget people in Edo south and central are beginning are to despise him.okpebholo can even win without edo north self if he overwhelms pdp

emilo2bad:

But Monday was elected senator there in 2023 election due to Obaseki bad behaviour
Asue can't even speak esan that will be a disadvantage to him

whether he can speak or not...that doesn't matter.the fact remains that he is esan.

Oblitz:
Hmm

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

That's just it

Indispensable85:



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.

apc can win cos right now the myth of asue and pdp winning Edo central is no longer there with this development

But apc has to sell their candidate, I still don't remain confident in asue as a Lagos boy, I still don't remain confident in obaseki stooge, I still don't remain confident in a man forcing himself as esan overnight

These are germane stuffs now in esan voters, oshomole should be distanced from okbebolo in Edo central and edo south I assure you he would win this way, atleast no block votes for asue in Edo central

Even the ugbesias, itulah that are surrounding asue now like hawk to recoup are politicians that esan people have retired and tired of

Oshomole has no choice in Edo north, it would always go apc even when he is sleeping

Sure asue cv comes top but we are looking for practical govt again not this obaseki laptop pattern he wants to continue with

senatordave1:


This is nonsensical postulation na.you cannot win in a traditional opposition base except you are popular.ok,how did labour party win senate in Edo south? Why didn't APC won there too? Pdp also won assembly seats in Edo north which is APC traditional area.in your delta state,Omo agege won delta central but pdp cleared the assembly seats.what will you say about that? The fact is clear sir, okpebholo is popular

If truly you understand the dynamics of Delta State politics , you would have understand that Delta central is not core PDP zone compare to Delta South and Delta North. Delta central is the only Zone in Delta state that has produced opposition Senators and house of Assembly till date. That was why Omo-Agege won there with a slight margin with combined votes of the region ( mind you, both PDP and APC won 4 each of the LGA that make up the zone). In Delta South, that is core PDP zone, APC won Senate seat there but lost out in Assembly election; are you telling me Joel is more popular than Ejele that made him to win? Even Ned Nwoko won with a slight margin against an unknown candidate of LP despite Okowa coming from the same zone with Ned. Save this comment and remind me after the election, Monday (APC) will not win more than 2 (LGA) out of the 5 LGA that made up of the zone.

Monday Okphebholo is the next governor of Edo state, we say no to Gov Obaseki godfatherism ....

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

senatordave1:


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

i get your point but oshomole is a distabilizer he would give him a troublesome deputy that is ambitious again

Okbhebolo is a quite man he doesn't need that

senatordave1:


Don't forget people in Edo south and central are beginning are to despise him.okpebholo can even win without edo north self if he overwhelms pdp

Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣 e go hard ooo bros. U see that Edo central, they're core PDP people. Okpebholo won there because of the greedy 3rd term ambition of senator Clifford ordia of PDP. Even at that, it was a little margin.Edo central remains PDP strong hold. In the state assembly elections, they reversed to status quo. Okpebholo even lost his LGA in that state assembly elections. He lost esan central seat to the PDP with all his campaigns for Tiger Edoror. It's not an easy election bro.

PDP is also very strong in Edo south. Na that Obidient movement finish them the last time. But they have rebounded after that to win majority of the assembly seats in the Edo south district.

The only problem wey PDP dey always get Na dat Oshiomhole's Edo north. If he carry Ur matter for head like he did for Tinubu, he'll clear the entire LGAs in the district. I'm not sure he'll do that for Monday Okpebholo for obvious reasons.

Willed042:

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

I am NOT a praise singer.

I am a PRACTICAL Politician that is involved in Edo State Politics and National Politics.

I worked in The Presidential Villa (Aso Rock) for seven years as a Political Strategist and Political Mobilizer.

I projected/prophesied since 2023 on NAIRALAND that Senator Monday Okpebholo will Win APC Primary in 2024. And it came to pass.

I hereby maintain my prophesy/projection that Senator Monday Okpebholo will be elected the NEW Governor of Edo State in 2024.

I am a STAKEHOLDER because I am a native of THE SAME Uwessan community with Senator Monday Okpebholo. I am his Elder Kinsman in UWESSAN Community.

I am a STAKEHOLDER because Senator Monday Okpebholo was MY STUDENT (I was his Teacher) in Ujabhole Grammar School, Uwessan-Irrua.

I am a STAKEHOLDER because Senator Monday Okpebholo has been MY STUDENT in Positive Thinking Orientation Lectures since 1984 (since 40 years ago).

Congratulations to Edo Central and all Edo people. That's how a state or nation is built. You give everyone chance to participate. Whether minority or majority, male or female. Religion, tribe, ethnicity etc, should not be the criteria at all. Nation building requires sacrifice like this. The collective goodwill of everyone is crucial for the overall progress and development of a state/nation.

Uselessguy:
That Asue guy way no Sabi speak him language wan be governor

Congratulations Monday, PDP is gone already.
Just pick a bini as your deputy and see how u will win.

People fight for obaseki against godfatherisem obaseki now wan become godfather

Edo no be lagos

Even Obaseki can't speak bini but we the binis voted him. We don't do tribalism in benin at all

May God keep us alive. We'll be here to witness the outcome of the election. Atleast nobody will blame Oshiomhole now if the APC loses this time. He should stay away.

I just laughed when you said Edo north will go APC with or without Oshiomhole. Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I laff ooooo 🤣🤣🤣

Again let me tell you that Oshiomhole's influence goes far beyond Edo north. I can assure you for example that, if Dennis Idahosa stays away from the election, the PDP will sweep both ovia south west and ovia north east clean. Denco is the APC pillar in that area. I don't know of any other APC leader that can command votes in that area. He's the reason APC has a member in the state house of assembly from that area. It was a tug of war. PDP is very solid in ovia. Infact Denco managed to win with 1k votes bcoz he won in all the 10 wards of his LGA. Results from ovia north east almost swallowed him up.No play ooooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You don't know the election we're going into. The chances of Okpebholo depends largely on how well he's able to pacify oshobaba to bring him onboard, otherwise forget it bro.

By the way Okpebholo only won Edo central because of the greed of senator Clifford ordia who wanted a third term. They've since gone back to tradition by winning the majority seats in the house of assembly elections. Monday Okpebholo even lost his LGA in the house of assembly elections.

PDP is very strong in Edo south and Edo central. Na only Oshiomhole dey give them problem for Edo north.

martineverest:

see I know all these things you are saying

I know Dennis effort in ovia, no be the same godfatherism of igbinedion people dey revolt there?

You talk like it's a war on oshomole Dennis etc

Na still their party, fine he can get Dennis as deputy and pacify oshomole but same oshomole gat know the people within him are not comfortable with his excesses

It seems it's the only way to always tell him to calm down, did his own ward not suspend him as chairman

He still be leader but let him calm down, I insist that apc edo north would still vote apc because it's about where you interest are best served as a senate district

Edo south has the luxury of alternating parties but edo north and Edo central don't cos they have more leaders in one than the other

senatordave1:


Lol,esan that he has never been to

you guys should stop lying, AI gave light to Ewohimi during Obasanjo’s regime while those of you that travel to Esanland every three days to constitute nuisance and sleep with all the Esan girls were looking. Educate yourself brotherman, Asue always came to Benin and Esanland intermittently when he was small, when he came of age, because of his love for Esan and Ewohimi people, he drew electricity to Ewohimi, in fact hear from the horses mouth

you that can say parables in Esan, what have you done for Esan people, AI drew electricity to Ewohimi land some 20 years ago. And in fact he visited Benin and Esanland intermittently and many times stayed a while, hear from the horses mouth

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 ?

I always swing towards technocrats being in power. I can hardly stand people who's only resume is politics holding sway to power.

Sadly most technocrats have not made a good impression of themselves when in power.

The truth of the matter is that apc didn't bother about the assembly polls since guber isn't involved,they just allowed obaseki do what he likes but still got 9 seats.pdp still won some assembly seats in the north.assembly elections is like a partial lga elections.again,this goes to show that edolites votes who they like...
Okpebholo does not need to win Edo central,he just needs to divide it or prevent ighodalo from getting bloc.

NzogbuNzogbu:
i get your point but oshomole is a distabilizer he would give him a troublesome deputy that is ambitious again

Okbhebolo is a quite man he doesn't need that

This is where wisdom comes in.he should just accept anyone oshiomhole suggests for peace to reign and later silence him.you must carry everybody along and unite the party no matter the sacrifice to win

this is the same superficial mentality that put Nigeria in this mess we are in today - considering factors that are not related to success for the leader - tribe, region, religion, physical looks or what have you —/ BUT never Competence, Capacity or Compassion… so a Lawrence Anini kind of candidate who looks like Mr. Universe got your vote right?

Pdp dominated central until late pius ewherido defeated them with dpp through ogboru influence.esan has been pdp more than other zones of the state.it takes a very popular candidate to win there.was ogboru not popular or ewherido? Is agege not popular? Why did prince win cross river? Apart from zoning,he was popular and pdp was divided....same thing in bayelsa,apga won assembly seats because they fielded popular candidates.akpabio won because he is popular.look at plateau.you cannot win in Edo if people don't like you...

Both ejele and Joel Thomas are popular but there was a sabotage against ejele in ijaw areas and isoko.since 2003 isoko left senate,the isokoa haven't gotten anything apart from their reps.itsekiri got gov while ijaws monopolized deputy gov and senate.therefore,they decided to give bloc to their son while ijaws we're indifferent...

This thing is beyond party matter but individual qualities and influence.okoebholo resonates with the average edolite.if okpebholo wins two lgas,that is enough for him.dont forget he can get bloc votes in those two lgas.all he needs is to repeat same performance in the south as he will win the north.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa......... dead body go surplus!

Are you aware Sen. Monday Okpebholo won in 3 LGAs in Edo North under Oshiomhole's grip ? Some of Oshiomhole's people are not happy with his selfish kind of politics, so they voted against his candidate @ Dennis Idahosa.
What matters most now is for Monday Okpebholo to adopt political wisdom of reconciliation and unification with Oshiomhole's camp.
