Edo Guber: Edo Speaker Defies PDP, Congratulates Governor-Elect Okpebholo by senatordave1(op): 1:30am On Oct 04, 2024

The Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, Blessing Agbebaku, has congratulated Senator Monday Okpebholo, the governor-elect, on his victory at the just concluded governorship election in the state, advising that he should be wary of sycophants.

DAILY POST reported that the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Monday Okpebholo, defeated the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Asue Ighodalo with 291,667 votes as against 247,274 votes.

Agbebaku’s congratulatory message was contrary to the position of the governorship candidate, Asue Ighodalo, and the State leadership of PDP who vowed that they would not congratulate the governor-elect, alleging that the election was rigged and manipulated in favour of APC

Agbebaku, who congratulated the governor-elect at plenary on Wednesday said: “The governor-elect is for Edo people and not for the All Progressives Congress alone and I prayed that sycophants do not mislead him.”

DAILY POST recalls that the Speaker, a member of PDP representing Owan West constituency at the State House of Assembly lost his local government at the election to APC.

They have started dumping Obaseki one by one. The next speaker should go to Akoko Edo or Owan east but I fear Etsako central will snatch it

The defeat of Asue was could be seen by the blind and heard by the deaf weeks before the election.

I don't understand why Nigerian politicians are always like this.

Refusing to accept the results of an election you clearly lost is a sign of foolishness....

Even LP with vote count like Jamb score is claiming victory.

That Obaseki was looking surprised on election day show he is even more foolish

The speaker wants to preserve his position and political future.
There is neither loyalty not ideology in Nigeria's party system.

Who did he betray?

Did Apc not win the election? What’s bad about congratulating a winner?
