Francis Alimikhena with zero Integrity.I love politicians who are stable and consistent in what ever they stand for.Francis enjoyed the goodwill of Adams oshiomhole to win the Senate twice,became a rebel because has told to step down for Adams oshiomhole.Francis joined PDP and Obaseki in 2022 and now he is back in APC.

It’s safe to say PDP is dead in Edo north but he’s shameless though. I don’t like politicians like Alimikhena who can’t stick to any principle. He is an ingrate who should be watched closely.

I knew he will be back after Obaseki didn't give him anything. What is he doing in pdp? Why not just go back to APC? Etsako is 100% Secured. Expect massive inflation

You are smater than this bro! Etsako East, West and Central are not the issue.
The battle is the Owans and the Akokos which neutralise the Etsakos you are saying in Edo North.
The real game is Edo south, and that is where okpenholo missed it.
The awareness level of Asue has been cemented in the hearts of the binis. The binis vote candidate not party and unfortunately okpebholo could not play his card well.

Lies.
Na we be the electorates in the heart of Benin. I tell you this for free, Bini people hate Obaseki and his godson Asue. You will see this from the results of the election next week.

We go use our votes to disgrace Obaseki and Asue on that day.

You are funny..you also missed it...the entire Edo north is going APC. Owan east is solidly going APC as usual. The issue is Owan west because of the speaker, it is 50 50..Akoko Edo will go APC as usual,all their bigwigs are in APC.. omobayo is a small fry.

When you say Okpebholo missed it, I am confused because he played his cards there well.the strongest bini politicians are in APC, and he picked his deputy from there. The only mistake he might have made was not picking someone stronger than Denco like Imasuen or Ihama but this might have isolated Oshiomhole and the president. Denco is young and popular with the youths... Bini is not as united as in 2020 behind pdp. Infact,many of them are rooting for Akpata...many of them who would have voted pdp are angry because of the perceived beef of Obaseki with the palace...Obaseki collected a lot of communities their land and this will also cost Asue votes.. most binis are disappointed in Obaseki performance... Asue started campaigning since last year which gave him a head start. If pdp win Edo south,it will be narrowly and because of Ikpoba...
Edo central will divide but I see okpebholo edging out Asue. Edo north esp Etsako will give the killer blow
Re: Breaking News: Senator Francis Alimikhena Defects To Apc by Emmanuelcann: 8:14pm On Sep 14, 2024
Obaseki is not a candidate in this election. Who is the best candidate? Edo people are enlightened enough to know who is worthy of their votes. These prostitutes called politicians will never succeed in confusing them with rhetorics meant for illiterates!

@massive inflation right? That's the Hallmark of the APC government.

You will surely abandon this your moniker after the elections. Don't ask me how I know.

Every sane Edo man can never vote that buffoon who doesn't have a single project to his name except MOUs.

Obaseki na emila...

Paper weight analysis you habe here!
The last 2 paragraphs of your assertions showed you are not a field man but a keyboard warrior and anlayst! no wonder on one of your posts in previous thread stated you saying it was the information they sent to you that you posted, especially when I corrected you that Edo has 18 LGAs and one of the LGAs you stated was wrongly spelt.
Back to the subject matter, Edo South hates Obaseki for your information, but Asue has proven beyond reasonable doubt he is the best amongs them all hence their embrace with him, and also consolidating the fact that Asue is not Obaseki...not PDP but Candidature.
Edo South has a Tsunami kind of vote, even if you are from Edo SOuth and fall below the expectation of anticipated perfomance, you will never be voted in.
That is the issue with Olumide.
Peter got them convinced that is why he is a bride till date and one would have expected Obi's grace to cover Olu but it does not work like that there.
Okpebholo hase goofed in all facets.
I heard one of the Market women laughing at him that they will enjoy the free ride (bus) he currently brought and still vote Asue

Lol, you corrected me on the spelling of Ugo ward not on the spellings of any lgas or the number. Don't whine yourself. I am a seasoned electoral expert.

You basing your analysis on one market woman is very ridiculous. It doesn't even sound credible. Majority of those benefitting from Monday will naturally vote him. How many has benefitted from Asue? What are his contributions to Edo? Why should they vote him over Okpebholo that has impacted on thousands?

An average Edo south citizen is now a LP supporter. They will not vote him the way they voted obi but he will get votes surely which will harm pdp. Obaseki is not Asue yes but many voters are sentimental and unenlightened and won't vote Asue because of Obaseki...Asue himself said he will continue from where obaseki stopped. This has cost him votes as he will continue the bad policies of Obaseki including seizing their lands...they also asked Asue about his plans to weaken the powers of traditional rulers in Edo and he supported him. This will also cost him many votes as many Edolites are traditionalists...

Binis gave bloc votes in 2012 to oshiomhole because he performed well. Gave obaseki in 2020 because of godfatherism and sympathy,gave Obi bloc votes because he convinced them. Nobody will get it this time sir... only Edo north will give bloc votes
