It is over for PDP. A lot of decamping will still follow in the coming days, week and month before election. That ingrate will be taught a political lesson come September 21. Edo state is a unique state when election comes around. We supported him 2020 and took us for granted by low performance and the even started fighting those who stood by him because he wanted to be the new godfather. Not stopping by that, he now went further by trying to fight the revered royal majesty, the Oba of Benin. Edolite will definitely reject his candidate for sure.

Obaseki was governor for 8 years,why didn't he work on it like other governors? Temporary patching is better than nothing.not everyone in APC is evil.as far as Edo is concerned,pdp of obaseki is evil.i know you,you are pro pdp...obaseki is worse than those in apc.rubbish

APC AIN'T GOING NO WHERE IN EDO STATE PDP TOO STRONG INCLUDING THEIR STRONGHOLD EDO NORTH IS NOT SURE FOR APC RIGHT NOW.....
Which Edo north is pdp stronghold....with oshiomole ready to bulldoze anything in his way and what obaseki did to shuaibu after all he did for him in Edo north, Raymond dokpesi is also no more.....Edo north and central have already been lost by PDP,only Edo south is where they are projected to still have a strong showing and that's the most populous zone....did you even check the last election results.

So you had to draw my attention to a group of politicians with no ideology? All they are interested in is their stomach. The funny thing is that they have a bunch of people that can’t reason for themselves they will decamp with as supporters. At the end of the day they’ll run away with the ballot boxes.

All I say is this, you guys in Edo state should ask the three candidates in PDP, APC & LP what they want to offer & how they intend to go about it. The follow up question of how they will go about it is very important. If the candidate without a clear vision & strategy on how to improve the lives of the people gets in, Edolites will suffer it.

I don’t play politics of sentiments. I listen to candidates’ plans & how it will be implemented, I look at antecedents, I look at the quality of people supporting him. If he surrounds himself with thieves & people of zero integrity then the treasury will suffer.

Just look at the points I raised up there 👆🏾& decide.

With this,Apc has taken Egor LGA. Dr and hon Mrs pius Alille are overrunning Egor pdp
APC is a party of propaganda - remember
in 2020 almost all commissioners in
Obaseki Government House resigned, And
Some people here said even Obaseki’s wife
will not vote for him, that everyone hated him

How far on election day? 😁😁😁😁


So you guys will hear alot about going ons
in Edo State to make it look like PDP is done
But its all lies- from the last futile kick of a
dying horse (APC) Akpakomiza wont win - I can bet my large intestine and my 2 blokkos 😂


The Edo people wont bring back Agberos to rule them - ever again - And once debate is done, all this nonsense talk about APC winning will end because when Asuen mounts the debate stage with Akpakomiza, even INEC Chairman will beg Akpakomiza to concede the election before it starts - Those on ground know Asue is the next Executive Governor of Edo State, not all this yanyanbu talk about Akpakomiza on nairaland 😂

You wey be prof of politics, and you think obaseki looks like a politician to you....he was only able to route oshiomole only because he had the backing of the cabal that wanted to undo oshiomole majorly for being tinubu's man......that same aso rock are now behind who? Also add Wike,orbih,ihama also the oba....obaseki knows he stands no chance.

All the actions of obaseki since he earned second term has shown he is no politician and he is too self centered to bother about who the next gov will be.

I think I have addressed this before when you raised this issue and you agreed with me.see,politicians will always promise heaven and earth to get elected.it is like a playboy trying to get a girl to warm his bed,he will promise anything so please don't judge by their words or promises,they are worthless.leadership is more of action than words and rhetorics
That being said,rather than judge by words,look at their manifestos or written plans about what they intend to do.okpebholo has a manifesto called manifesto of renewed hope and also an action plan called VOTE EDO which is an acronym.
Like I said before, okpebholo has an antecedents of performance and projects delivery,others do not.judge by what you see and what is on ground not by what you hear

Going by your second & last paragraphs, we are saying the same thing. All I see is you trying so hard to defend or make others support who you support.

Didn’t I mention plan, strategy & antecedents in my unbiased response? I guess defending your candidate was no important to you.

In my unbiased way of thinking, I totally agree with you on the issue of politicians making sweet promises to voters to get their votes. Don’t you think this candidate you defend is doing the same thing a playboy does to get a girl to warm his bed (like you mentioned)?

The same way you believe in Okpebholo’s manifesto & acronym, that is the same way other Edolites believe in Ighodalo’s manifesto & acronym. It’s also the same way other Edolites believe in Akpata’s manifesto and acronym.

What’s important at this point is to put sentiments aside. Look at the people supporting each candidate. Also, look at their antecedents. Their supporters (by these I mean those political defectors that you guys celebrate) influence the winner’s service delivery to the people. If the person you support have a lot of career politicians as supporters, then they’ll have to be paid for their services & patronized in order to keep them around for future elections. Why do you think they cross carpet? Oh, you think it’s for your own benefit? How wrong you are. If the winner fails to patronize them, they will defect to another party. It’s business to them.

All I can tell you is look before you leap. If you leap before you look, then whatever you see on the other side is yours to handle. A word is enough for the wise.

Look,my candidate is not using sweet mouth because he is not talking much.he is accused of not being well educated and cannot speak to the crowd so he prefers talking less and allowing his works to do the talking afterall empty vessels talk the most....

Most of the politicians around him or the major ones are people loving or progressive minded politicians.oshiomhole still remained the most loved because of what he did in Edo as governor.another reason politicians are defecting is because of the bad leadership and draconian style of obaseki.he doesn't know how to unite,lead,manage people.okpebholo is a natural leader and a unifier so he will naturally attract others most.these guys are not defecting because of financial interest because APC is already full, okpebholo has his inner caucus which he has to take care of same as oshiomhole,iyamu so nothing to share.

If you go round Edo state,they need 2 things most which is infrastructural intervention and employment.okpebholo on his own has been carrying out projects long before entering the political arena plus his firms are mostly peopled by Edolites so he ticks those two areas.Asue headed several top firms without employing Edolites or attracting those firms to invest in his zone.Edo needs a homeboy who understands their local problems and appreciates them,who understands the culture.Asue has been with the Edo state govt since 2008 yet never deemed it fit to empower his people,learn the local langusge nor transfer his voting unit to Edo until last week.this are the hallmarks of a bad,selfish,self serving user.

Osho & ors you cited were forced to accept this your candidate after being compensated with the running mate slot. Wasn’t that the case? They have aligned for their own personal interests. Don’t be fooled, none of them is progressive minded. Stop following them to misuse & abuse that word.

Grab your dictionary or do a google search on the word progressive & compare to what they are doing in that party. Don’t follow these politicians blindly. You went to school to think critically.

On the issue of your candidate not being able to express himself, he really should tell the people what he intends to do. He owes them that. Don’t be deceived by ‘let my works speak for me’. If he can’t express himself very well in English(according to you he is accused of not being intelligent) is that how he will represent an entire state & attract investment?

The same way you judge Asue for not being able to learn his language since 2008, you should judge Monday of what he is accused of (I didn’t say so. It’s based on your response to my comment)

The only issue is Edolites shouldn’t complain after making a wrong choice. Whether it is PDP, APC or LP. They should do thorough assessment before they make their choice.
