Tribal sentiments will destroy Nigeria before the economy. What is Yoruba name? What is mother tongue? That's why you have to put state of origin on a CV.
Are you saying that tribal sentiment is not important in a state election? At the national level, that's understandable, the nation belongs to us all but when it comes to state and local government politics, leave them to run it as they deem fit. Before a tenant can be made the chairman of the landlords association, he must have proven himself exceptional in all ramifications.

Former President of the Nigeria Bar Association, Olumide Osaigbovo Akpata has emerged Governorship Candidate of the Labour Party in Edo State.
Is he also a communist labourer who believes in subsidies for consumption and government ownership of businesses?

Or he is a desperate political hustler like Peter Obi who says things that he doesn’t dohuh

“’I cannot take anything back about Obi. I said Obi said he wants to move Nigeria back from consumption to production and I said that is not true. He cannot do it because his own business survives on consumption. Is that a lie? He has been an importer and I said he deals with cash and carry economics; container economics, imports”.

“All the goods that can be produced in Nigeria, Obi imports them in his supermarkets. That is consumption economics. That kind of person cannot tell you that he is moving you from consumption to production. He will then be committing self-economic suicide and Obi will not do that to himself”.

“So, Obi is deceiving everybody and I can’t take that back because that is true.

It is looking like APC will win. PDP chose a man who cannot speak his mother's tongue and needs an interpreter talk to his own people, while LP chose a man who has a Yoruba name and lives in Lagos in contravention to the popular Edo slogan that Edo no be Lagos.
I thought they said they don't practice tribalism in Edo State, why should his inability to speak the language be an issue?? When Yoruba people said GRV can't speak the language some people said it's not necessary and tagged it tribalism.

So the LP candidate having a Yoruba name is also an issue? There are people from Akoko Edo who speak and bear Yoruba name. I hope when others do the same thing nobody would complain.

Okpata is going no where.
El Rufai said same "Obi will not get upto 5% vote from the North "
Until Obi shocked him in the North and even Kaduna. They had to rig to save themselves from Obi's victory.

Black people are irredeemable. So as I can't speak my language, I would be denied a chance to lead my people when I contest elections in future bah?

Hypocrisy at play. When GRV was rejected for not being able to speak the language some people said it was tribalism.

😂😂😂. This reminds me of the GRV saga.

Atleast the PDP guy did not insult Benin and Edo people (at large) unlike GRV that uses tribal insults on Yorubas.

That's a lie from the pit of he'll.
Obaseki cannot present 2 candidates in
different parties.

I urge Edo people to replicate the heroic feat
they achieved during the presidential election where they called the bluff of criminals.

Elect Olumide Apata
It is your right
It is your power

But Rotimi Amaechi has a Yoruba name and became governor in Rivers state. Yoruba and Edo cultures are interwoven and Edo, Itsekiri, Ilaje people have Yoruba first names. This is no news.

At the end of the day, it's all about good governance!
