Even if the incumbent is Satan;
APC shouldn't be the alternative. This is a clear case of moving from frying pan to fire as we found ourselves at the National level. I expect the people of Edo State to test run LP.
The only LP Governor we have is in Abia state who is the best performing governor so far in Nigeria.
I weep for Edo people 😭😭😭

Good point bro!
LP defeated themselves from the very onset before the game started! That was why people cheered Obi but made it known secretly that they will not vote Olu.
The candidate they featured jeopardised their chances and the region he came from was a minus to them.
For me I do not see PDP taking over Edo any time sooner! Obaseki destroyed it. My pain is the good man (ASUE) they featured. He is damn good.

Edo people didn't vote APC, it was INEC who gave them victory.

Point of correction, Edo was the first state in Nigeria to test-run LP. As a matter of fact, Edo brought LP to limelight before Ondo. It's called the 'HEARTBEAT of the nation' for a reason.

The problem with you igbos is that you always think that the best comes from your side. Which useless abia Gov is performing? He is building bus stop in 2024 something that sullivan chime did in 2012.
Serious governors like Sanwo-Olu are building metro rails you are celebrating bus stop.
Shame on you

blackboy:
Stop this justifying of rigging. Obaseki has finished and APC rigged the election that is a fact. This is 2027 strategy. Just wait and see .

All election in Nigeria are rigged. The best rigger emerge has the winner.....

Are you saying PDP and LP didn't rig?

SadiqBabaSani:
Obaseki is a betrayer, I DON'T LIKE godfatherism in Nigeria politics, unlike godfatherism elsewhere Nigerian own is exploitative and seek a human worshipping endeavour.

But I betrayers are no good for the younger generation.

Obaseki was vindictive and like OSHIOMOLE will learn not to godfather anybody

Name 5 politicians you support and I will tell you the people they betrayed.

TrackerSK:
Why Edo like ugly men?

Because na ugly men full for Edo......

Look at Oshiomole, Phillip, Obaseki etc

Sleekfingers:

That's not the point.

The headline reads;

"Why Obaseki was VOTED out."

Truth is;;

He wasn't voted out,,
He was counter rigged out....

Stop using the word Voted!

Even if you die for Edo people, you'll only have wasted your life. He that wears the shoe knows where it pinches. They've made their choice for themselves and whoever doesn't like it should not just weep, but should go and jump into a deep well or , faster still, drink sniper. And where do you find yourself at state's level? LP governors are the worst in the current political dispensation. No major projects, no major developments building pedestrian bridges and garages here and there.

Please correct your topic, it should be: why PDP was rigged out.

Why not write your own, empty head ?

In addition to your above accounts, reasons,to me the following reasons also work against PDP and Obaseki godson, Aue,
1. The denial or refusal to swear in the 14 EDHOA members 4 years ago and consequently taking over the house.
2. Fighting those who helped 4 years ago..like Wike, Dan Obir, Philip Shaibu, Ogbede ihama, and many others
3. Conducting local government elections and declared PDP 18/18 winners of the LG election
4. Refusal to share palliatives from FG.
5. No visible projects from other lG apart Benin city as the capital where you see little renovations of old buildings.
5. Demolition and reclaiming houses and lands believed to be enemies once you are not in his party members.
6. imposition of Aue as preferred candidate making him a good father that he was fighting Oshiomole against.
7. Defeation of prominence PDP members into the APC. without the national PDP involvement in peace talks
8. Refusal to by party to signed the peace accord and the consequence disbanding of his vigilante service he was using previously to intimidate and runs show during the previous elections.
9. The killing of the POLICE officer attached to the Apc candidate at the airport gate about 2 months ago and his silence to bring the killer to book.

The late time I want to my village I know Obashaki is a failure

Story!

GeneralPula:
How dare you say that?

There’s no politician in Lp that’s not performing..

Infact, as from henceforth, stop comparing Lp politicians with African politicians. Only compare them with foreign politicians cuz they’re god sent!

What have they done? Even the ones at National assembly. They are there sharing the largeese with other politicians.
God sent my foot!

I just wish the new ApC gov will go after him tediously with EFCC with support from Adams Oshiomole. Let him cough all the stolen money and cool off a little in prison

Mrdellychy:
2. ...All the heavy weight in Edo North he fought them, that’s why nobody fought against the rigging that happened in Edo North.

I agree with your other points. But I don't agree with this point. If he fought all the heavy weight and lost popularity in the North, would they need rigging to win him there?

What exactly is there to celebrate in Abia under Lp. For 24 years despite poor performance by PDP, Abia have been voting and returning PDP government.

That college of education pension he refused to pay na him go kill am..imagine I know someone who retired there and was not given pension who committed suicide out of hunger leaving his wife and children behind at ekenwan road..his blood and the tears of those old lecturer will forever toment him till death..just cuz they protested few days to your re election u vowed never to give them their entitlement..thank God ighodalo did not win cuz he would have instructed him not to ever pay them..wicked fool....u will go to jail..then u nor fear u carry our oba and it's trad rulars go court..only death can take our oba but governors come and go..bassttard

Who made Otti the best performing governor. Someone who could not pay minimum wage.

crixlight2:
It baffle me the way dey reason , who even gave Otti best performing governor. Na overhype dem go use finish Otti government and the guy no go do anything

Aba under PDP and worse, APC, was a closed city. Go to Aba and see a modern and glittering city since Gov Otti came on board. What else do you expect?

Edo people voted Monday Okpebholo, not APC. Its not about the parties or a failure Tinubu, it is about the need to get rid of Obaseki.
Obaseki has garnered too too many political enemies in Edo state and Benin kingdom. Okpebholo won not due to his power or the useless APC, but due to Obaseki.

CodeTemplarr:
Stupid rigging laundering thread. The useless APC is consolidating their stolen mandates with theoretical explanations why others were rejected. Is hunger and hardship better than the useless points this paid hack is bringing here?

Oga, the local factors mattered to them than national factors

Deemas:

Point of correction,

They all rigged, but the best rigger won.

LP Gov in Abia is the best in the zoo.

You know nothing about Governance simple because Abians have been in bondages of PDP.

For your information

Otti has been sending civil servants to Lagos to copy their templates of progress....


Go and verify.

It was even in the news sometimes

BJanta:
Why not write your own, empty head ?

Nawa o, why not engage me in the discussion like others did such as everyone rigged but the better rigger won instead of attempting to insult me.

I would have picked offence if I am actually an empty head. On the contrary, it's people who are quick to insult that actually constitute empty heads because they lack the intellectual capacity to engage in meaningful discussion.

Mrdellychy:
In my own opinion, technically, people of Edo did not vote in APC or Monday Okpebholo rather, they technically voted against Godwin Obaseki the incumbent Governor. These are my views/reasons..

1. Obaseki alleged interference with the highly revered Benin "Obaship" structure. Benin no be kano where they unbundled Emirate.

2. Victimisation of his former deputy, Philip Shuaibu, despite the court ruling reinstating him yet, he refused to honour the court judgement. No matter the offense of Shuaibu, he should have forgiven him considering the first impression/loyalty that people say it lasts longer... Shuaibu stood by him and even defected to PDP with him when his political ship was sinking. Most people never believed Shuaibu could take side against his mentor -Oshiomole.

3. Adams Oshiomole's influence. Like him or hate him? Adams still remains a heavy weight in Edo politics. A former governor and an Incumbent senator that controls one-third of Edo political region/space

PoliticsEdo Guber: Aisha Yesufu List Obaseki’s Sins, Ask Him To Stop ComplainingPublished on 23 September 2024 at 10:04 AMBy Enioluwa Adeniyi
Kindly share this story:
Aisha Yesufu Reacts As Tribunal Sacks Kogi Senator Caught Kneeling Before Gov. Bello
Socio-political activist, Aisha Yesuf has harshly criticized Governor Godwin Obaseki for expressing dissatisfaction with the results of the Edo State governorship election, in which Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) emerged victorious.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced on Sunday that Okpebholo won the election held on September 21, 2024, securing victory in 11 local government areas.

Fullscreen
In contrast, Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won 7 local government areas, while Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party (LP) failed to win any.

According to INEC’s Returning Officer, Prof. Faruk Adamu Kuta, Okpebholo received a total of 291,667 votes, defeating Ighodalo, who garnered 247,274 votes, and Akpata, who managed only 18,737 votes.

In a dramatic turn of events early Sunday morning, Governor Obaseki entered INEC’s collation center around 2 am, claiming his visit was to gather firsthand information about the results.

However, he was escorted out of the premises by a combined team of policemen led by Deputy Inspector General Frank Mbah, around 4:10 am.

Yesuf, in her reaction, pointedly questioned Obaseki’s grievances regarding the election outcome, urging him to accept the democratic process.

She wrote on X, “I am looking for a video where Obaseki was speaking about the principles of democracy. Please share if you have it.

“Obaseki that refused for 4 years to swear in 14 Edo House of Assembly members.

“Obaseki that refused to swear in judges. He swore in 5 out of 8.

“Obaseki that got his deputy Governor impeached.
He is talking about democracy under attack.”

paxonel:
this has nothing to do with Shaibu.
Yes, Oshiomole was influential, but it was insignificant.
PDP had neglected grass root politics that APC took advantage of, that's the problem

You are right. Obaseki and Asue are too elitist

Zege7716:
Edo people didn't vote APC, it was INEC who gave them victory.
