The first two names were the chairmen of the party electoral committee for the respective elections, representing the APC. They are not from Edo.

Meanwhile, Tenebe is an Edo name.

Honestly Ẹdo state politicians, Baba God will never forgive them.

Ọmosẹde and Denco were fighting tooth and nail for that seat last elections while with different parties, and it was a dirty fight.

Now Ọmosẹde is unopposed and as it is Ovia, she is getting in as the APC candidate.

Hopefully does better than the last Igbinedion in elective office in Edo state.

Ombre:
Yes o. Aunt I think.

You don’t understand what is going on. Let’s see who will defeat Igninedion nah. One family holding the stare down from time immemorial, yet they say Edo no be Lagos

kedeojo:
she was the one denco defeated firstly and still defeat her in his reelection. She was very smart to join APC and work for okpeboho and denco to be governor and deputy respectively. Naturally nobody from that axis could have defeated her with the backing of them both. It's called a reward system. No friend or enimies in politics but personal interest. Na only igbos dey play politics of hatred and bitterness. Omosede other family members like his father and former governor lucky igbinedion are still pdp but will definitely work for her.

I like Omonsede smartness, if she was to come from that region, she would be grandstanding, cheast beating as they normally do. She saw an opening immediately Denco was nominated as deputy governorship candidate and decamp, sharp sharp to APC and negotiated her way to the ticket. Mind you, the igbinedions are as popular in Ovia just like the Adelekes in Ede, so she is popular choice for the party.

kedeojo:
leave the uneducated boy. Tenebe is from Oshiomohole tribe. Always attaching everyone to themselves. Unity beggers. South South is fst difference from south east and we don't share anything in common.

I never read anywhere where Igbos were mentioned in his write up ooo.

He said "... melting pot of the Niger Delta" not Igboland or B!afra.

I don't know why there's so much hate and igbophobia on this platform and Nigeria in general.

Y'all need to heal.

The Igbos are God's choosen and when the time is right, they'd be liberated.

I am Urhobo through and through so no cap.
