Tbh,the handwriting on the wall shows that even if it comes to rigging,they will rig out pdp

Even if things come down to rigging, the only place APC has even the closest capacity of rigging is in Edo North. But even in that Edo North, it would be restricted to just Etsako axis because PDP is strong in Owan and now in Akoko Edo with the Deputy Governor now from there. How can you rig in the Deputy Governor’s LGA with all the men he would be controlling now?

Now, even in the Etsako axis, remember APC is going up against a PDP with structure backed by a sitting governor. You really think you can rig against that structure?

If there’s anyone that would rig Edo election, it would be Obaseki. Remember the FG was backing the SDP candidate in the last Kogi election but couldn’t deliver him. APC would be living in fool’s paradise to think they’d outrig Obaseki, an incumbent governor.

time senator representing Edo South Matthew Uroghide and other defectors have formally switched allegiance to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He formally defected to the APC from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at an event in Benin City on Saturday.

His return to the APC is coming after what he described as a 13-year-three-month sojourn in the PDP.

Senator Uroghide who described himself as a foundation member of the APC said he is glad to return to the fold of mature politicians, a party, in whose leaders he trusts and has confidence.

The former lawmaker assured the party that he has returned to help build the party and enthrone its candidates in the 2024 Edo governorship election.

He was not the only politician who was formally welcomed from the PDP to the APC on the day. Others include a former clerk of the House of Representatives and candidate for the Owan Federal Constituency in the 2023 election Patrick Giwa.

Eight local government chairmen including Frank Ilaboya of Owan West Local Government Area also joined the APC.

Top APC leaders including Senator Adams Oshiomhole and the state executive were on the ground to receive the entrants into the party.

During the event, Oshiomhole who apologised to Senator Uroghide for the error in judgment years ago which led to him choosing another aspirant over Uroghide, welcomed him back to the fold.

He described Senator Uroghide among others as a robust resourceful, dogged, politician whose wealth of experience will have a great impact on the party’s chances of success.

Oshiomhole thereafter nominated Uroghide as the party’s director general for the upcoming Edo State governorship election campaign team, a position the former lawmaker accepted.

funnily enough, the deputy governor is a 38 years old young man. Much youths will be fully involved in Akoko-Edo LG in September governorship Election.

APC did not intervene in bayelsa,imo or kogi primaries but intervened in edo.it is clear that they are going to get edo.you clearly don't understand how rigging works.in bayelsa,diri was almost rigged out in southern ijaw if not that FG didn't support sylva.diri couldn't rig anywhere.
Did you read what ihama said in my other thread about the sacrifice they made to prevent APC rigging obaseki? Who is going to do that now? With shuaibu out,pdp is completely dead in etsako.if a giant like adjoto cannot win akoko,I doubt a 7 month deputy will.the speaker is from owan west where pdp is strong but ihonvbere owns owan east.edo north is rural and rigging mostly happens ion rural area.edo central where they could rig is now divided abd has little votes.in Benin,lp is very strong there,APC has a lot of men to match pdp there plus it is a cosmopolitan area and very difficult.ovia abd orhiomnwon that are rural are apc areas.you inow the truth but are just deceiving yourself.imagine you saying a divided pdp can match APC.no be delusion be that

You just repeated what I said.

There’s a guiding principle for rigging which is that “you only rig where you are popular”.

Now, PDP and APC have equal stakes in Edo Central which will make it difficult for either party rigging there.

PDP and LP are popular in the Edo South which will make it almost impossible for APC to rig.

That automatically restricts their rigging (if they can) to Edo North. And I was trying to tell you that it’s not even everywhere they can rig in Edo North.

Which of these are you disputing?

APC is also popular in Edo south particularly in ovia and orhiomnwon axis where they can easily rig because of the terrain.the voters of Benin city axis are unpredictable but for now,they obidients.it is very difficult to rig here.
You said pdp are very strong in etsako which is false.apc ofcourse does not need to rig the whole Edo north but just etsako

I never said PDP is popular in Etsako. I only said PDP has structures even in Etsako that might make it difficult for APC to rig.

The only structure pdp has was shuaibu.a typical etsako man is loyal to oshio.
