No b same Edo wey b obidient headquarters?

Abi wetin I dey see soo?

Some people will learn the hard way in 2027, them go understand say no b by noise

Before now it was exclusively for PDP, so this is not a new thing to us, if this news shock you, check during Osholome's time and also Obaseki's times, you will know this present administration will not be left out.

Obidients no INEC polling unit on social media oo

Rigging machines

Obidients don't vote councillors, HoA, HoR, Governor and Senators. It is only Obi their presidential candidate they will vote so that when he becomes president he will use the miracle he used to obtained his ticket to turn Nigeria to paradise.

Most of you data boys type with so much ignorance even when you have a device that can properly enlighten you.
Even a half smart person knows that there is nothing like LGA election in Nigeria but a selection from the state governor.
A state governor determines who becomes LGA chairman not the citizens in those LGAs.

Hope democracy won't be in danger with this results

So many microphone testing elections. Polling units are not on social media

You mean that any political party ruling Edo State always wins the LG elections?

That Amaka that went on SM to call for every Edo child to be murdered and poisoned changed everything .

Giringori doesn't know that the greatest asset Tinubu has are Giringori's mannerless Obidients.

They are doing more than enough to demarket and expose Obi for who he is and what he represents - an Ibo Presidency.

Your guess is good as my mine.
The state political structure automatically represents itself in the grass root.
When Oshiomole defeated PDP in court and was sworn in as Governor, in a matters of months majority of the state house of assembly ported ACN before metamorphose into APC.
Same thing happened in Obaseki administration.
All this are indication that the Governor is trying to build his own structure.

Like I said before,ignorance is bliss among data boys.

A careful look at the 1999 constitution that setup the state electoral commission will clearly show that the state government is the one directly incharge of the LGA election.

This is why I said there is no election as LGA chairman are simply selected.
If there was an election,where are the result sheets for each LGA?


Same cannot be said about INEC who despite being under some level of control by the FG still have some semblance of independence.

Despite being given an inferior Android phone for your propaganda job,there still exists apps in that phone that can enlighten your obviously blocked encepthalon.

Atleast there is still one person that has some 'sense' remaining in that camp.

Interesting!

Does this mean Governor Okpebholo is actually very popular in the state?

Ẹdo state was never exclusively PDP, Edo North always fiew the flag for APC whilst Central was PDP.

Ẹdo South was the one that drifted from party to party.

E go shock some people say, APC will win flawlessly.... But we're ready for their usual rig mantra......

Selected LGA Chairmen by Edo state Governor.

You people should stop misleading us abeg.

Until INEC starts conducting local govt election the same time with general elections, the issue of opposition parties not participating in local govt elections will continue 💔

I can picture you.

Hairy, bald, fat cheeks, trembling while sobbing as you typed this in anger.

The thing enter bone marrow sha reach circulatory system.
