I just hope he wins; Obaseki has really messed up this guy’s chances.

Obaseki who single handedly destroyed 131-houses in one night; even while the occupants were begging for mercies

I heard he forcefully seized Ologbo community land.Apc are using his mistakes against him very well plus LP are eating into pdp

MichaelSokoto:
Me personally I am yet to make up my mind on who I will vote 4 in Edo guber but one thing am too very sure of is dat I can NEVER EVER NEVER vote 4 d demonic evil poverty party called APC in Edo state, Nigeria & in any other part of dis world!


LP, NNPP or YPP candidates would have bn preferable choices but non are esan indigenes which collectively, many concerned Edo citizens has since voiced out support for their gubernatorial ambition!

So, d polls would massively favor PDP's Asuen Ighodalo instead!

Simple truth!

The ordinary edolites love Okpebholo while elites love Asue

mcquin:
Asuen or Akpata, we are good.

Okpebolor should first subject himself to interviews, debates and media scrutiny before asking Edomite’s to vote him. We can’t repeat same mistake of not having politicians engage us before voting.

Being smart, intelligent and healthy makes part of leadership. You can’t be dull and necessarily make a good leader.

Unfortunately, both share same support base...a smart,intelligent fellow will find a way to help his immediate environ like Okpebholo. intelligence is not eloquence

Akpakomiza2:
I am just pitying pdp people to just post this half empty crowd...make I throw small bone give starved dogs na

Where the bone, where the dog, where the people? You don tell us as APC take bewitch una.
So dem see una as dog, come take bone dey give una. Bone dey hang for neck.

You no talk of wetin other states are doing like Lagos.. it's a normal thing govt do to recover their lands.
Oshiomole did the same thing and worse, people died young and old especially houses around 5 junction if you remember. We can't because of hatred for Obaseki vote the demonic and incompetent APC that will kill everyone with hunger and oppression.

Stop political bickering guys.
These politicians are birds of a filthy feather.

So you agree that most Edo people hate Obaseki?

you build on lands illegally acquired and deploy emotional tactics to blackmail the governor. All over the world such structures always come down. Vote Asue and leave Obaseki alone.

Akpakomiza2:
He won't step down. he will remain to share pdp votes

Was that how Tinubu used politically naive Peter Obi to share PDP votes last year so we can get into this enikanlomo shege of ebiNpawa wailers

jameshankss:
Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has said he is sure the candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, would lose the 2023 presidential election. Soludo said he would not submit to the bullying of Obi’s supporters, who recently descended on him for addressing issues in the state.

The governor made the comments in a lengthy write-up personally authored, with the title, “History Beckons, and I Will Not Be Silent (Part 1).”

Soludo said Obi was inadvertently making the pathway to victory much easier for the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and at the same time, toying with the destiny of millions of Ndigbo.

But the chief spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign, Yunusa Tanko, accused Soludo of being sponsored by some unknown persons to weaken the base of the party in the South-east.

The former CBN governor had been under intense attack for close to a week for dismissing Obi’s investment in the state as amounting to nothing, during a television interview.

Soludo said in the write-up, “My attention has been drawn to some of the tirades on social media following my frank response during an interview on Channels TV regarding the ‘investments’ Mr. Peter Obi claimed to have made with Anambra State revenues.

“Sadly, several of the comments left the issue of the interview to probe or suggest motives, inferred from my response on ‘investment’ that I am opposed to Peter Obi’s ambition and, therefore, committed a ‘crime’ for which the punishment is internecine abuse and harassment, even to my family.

“Everyone knows that I don’t follow the winds or one to succumb to bullies, or shy away from a good fight especially, when weighty matters of principles and future of the people are involved.”

Soludo said he had urged Obi to return to his former party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), to actualise his presidential bid. He added that he had always told the LP candidate to his face that he was not capable of winning the 2023 presidential election, especially, under LP, which had neither a councillor nor a local government chairman.

Soludo said Obi was not just his friend, but also his brother, but despite that, they have their political differences.

He stated, “For full disclosure, let me state that Peter Obi and I are not just friends, we call ourselves ‘brothers’. But we have political differences: he left APGA for PDP after his tenure as governor, while I have remained in APGA since 2013.

“During the last two governorship elections in Anambra in 2017 and 2021, he led the PDP campaigns but APGA won landslide in both elections. By the way, in 2016, he visited and proposed that I defect to PDP and contest the 2017 election against the incumbent Willie Obiano, but I declined.

“After my victory in November 2021, he called to congratulate me, as I did to him in 2010. That is the Anambra way: we fight fiercely during campaigns but share drinks at the next social events. After all, it was the Great Zik of Africa, who taught us that in politics, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies but only permanent interests.”

Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”

Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.

He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.

Okay

Akpakomiza2:
Pdp officially flagged off their campaign yesterday...

paid crowd
see all of dem wearing uniform and same cap

You call an information technology man an uneducated man. Is just like saying bill gates, Larry page, mark are illiterates. Is it by being a lawyer you know one is competent. In Nigeria , we have had profs and pastors as governors, did that stop them from being incompetent. Stop make academic achievements look like it will help someone perform in governance.

where did the last intellect land u.

Not better than Oshiomole I can say, but this intellect is better that Okpebholo by far. You know it yourself, except you deny.

Akpakomiza2:
You are very correct especially in your first two paragraphs but how has Asue rich CV helped Edo? Asue village has no electricity currently. Unfortunately,APC have overrun Edo

I’ll start from you last sentence. When you say APC overran Edo, what do you mean? Don’t tell me banking or rigging is what you are alluding to and proud of because this narrative is what we want to change for the sake of our children. I’m not sure you can point to political thugs as mentors for your kids.

If you want to test APC’s popularity, give candidates a level playing field.

On Aspen’s CV, I asked in your private company, will you employ Okpebolor ahead of Asuen?
Asuen was never a politician or public servant, so I don’t see how you want his CV helping Edo. Hold Edo politicians accountable for the absence of light in his village. If you as a private citizen have not planted a transformer in your village, you have no moral justification to call out another private citizen for that.

Bro stop this, are you saying Okpebholo is smart as Bill Gates? I never mentioned certification as the basis of governance. I said intellect. Someone smart, someone who can work his way around investors. Someone who can think beyond his society.
In your mind does Okpebholo fit that description? Can he hold conversations with investors? Does he understand rudiment financial ratios?

If it is your company will you employ Okpebholo over Asue?

ok o I’m not an edolite.But u should be weary of anything coming from Obaseki.The man is not a good man so u shouldnt also trust his choices.

lolz
this one never still get sense
u will not talk about the role wike and the G5 governors played
na obi be ur problem
if Wike and the G5 g0vernors delivered their states and add it to PDP 6.9million votes, maybe PDP would have still won even with Obi on the ballot.

2019 when we had just PDP and APC, why didnt PDP win

una just dey pick on Obi because he is igbo, nothing else.
Nigeria has the most dumb and stupid humans on earth with no sense for logical reasoning and na dem dey claim wise pass.

Wike is in PDP and allocating River states votes to APC
una nor see that one
God heal you all from this igbophobia and lack of logical reasoning

God bless you with this piece of information! Let PDP or LP win election.

mcquin:
I don’t like Obaseki, but the Oghoghobi people ought to have done their findings before purchasing government land. Just walk into EdoGIS, conduct a search on the land you want to buy and you game.

Again, Obaseki performed abysmally in road development. I stay on PZ road off Sapele Road. Going home is hectic as Sapele Road is in bad shape. Obaseki can argue for all we care that Sapele Rod is FG road, but na Edo indigenes Dey stay there and he can do more than wait for FG or put up notices that it is a FG road. However, in terms of human capital development and civil service, Obaseki will get an A1, quote me anywhere. If you are in Benin, I can take you around and show you that.

That said, Asuen himself has a rich CV that we cannot look away from. Same with Akpata. If it’s your company, will you leave the both and employ Okpebolor?

highchief1:

See the devil you know is better than the angel you don't. The APC guy is not informed enough to rule a state like Edo.
You can deduct this from his communication.

If it is your company will you employ Okpebholo over Asue?

mcquin:
Asuen or Akpata, we are good.

Okpebolor should first subject himself to interviews, debates and media scrutiny before asking Edomite’s to vote him. We can’t repeat same mistake of not having politicians engage us before voting.

Being smart, intelligent and healthy makes part of leadership. You can’t be dull and necessarily make a good leader.

politics is grassroot

Death on arrival. We the Edo electorates will not vote for Obaseki's godson. We will not for for any incompetent man in Suit.

gracealonev:
For Naija, campaign grounds dey overflow.

But for the day of election……

Maka why?

POV: Campaign ground is a collection of various words and units, looking at the kick off of the campaign(both APC and PDP) I think the election day is more crowded than the campaign when you consider the total vote at the end.

That adultery is not a crime in the South doesn’t make it justifiable or morally upright. The law may not cater for the commission or omission of an act, however, where it becomes morally expedient to observe same, we are duty bound to do so.

Those who have avoided interviews in time past, how have they performed? Will you invite them to your company?

It is not a winning strategy. Those pushing it are not patriots as I don’t see why we put political winnings ahead of governance. It’s akin to arguing proposed ministers should not have portfolios attached when going for confirmation because no law makes it obligatory.

Before we push out these narratives we should ponder on how the outside world see us. Life does not start and end with politics. What counts is how you improve lives through governance.

Caskdoe:
politics is grassroot

So the middle class don’t count?

At any rate, are you per chance saying those at the grassroots are not interested in their candidates being interviewed? You think those at the grassroots can’t afford TV or data? You sell Edomite’s cheap when you push that narrative.
Na una Dey give politicians the false impression that they can’t be held to account for anything. This is sad for you and your kids.

I am in Edo currently, are you?
