That had been the plan since time..And then promise the Igalas Edward will take over from GYB when his tenor ends.
Has Edward been of benefit to Igalas? No

Why promise Igalas something in the future whereas they can get it immediately?

Wada would pick from Okun.

It's now left for Igalas to become Governor or Deputy, their choice.

That name Onoja is Idoma name o, but what happened to his previous deputy?
It’s Igala as well.

Even Idoma people bear Igala names. There’s so many similarities between the 2 ethnic groups and is probably because of their close proximity.

Depending on the context, it's meaning can range from people, to the masses or the community.

OK. Oja means market in Yoruba. The market is usually the focal point of the community which is why the main/most important market is always supervised/owned by the king.

Most of the contiguous ethnic nationalities within modern Nigeria draw from the same genetic/historical roots, unfortunately we have no means to verify and reconnect. And we keep fighting and segmenting Nigeria based on tribal affiliations.

It's a full Igala name. Check. The Igala are the forebears of the Idoma.

Igala will not share their votes. Winning is a game of numbers. Majority carry the wins.

Onoja is Igala. As a matter of fact, a lot of Idoma names are of Igala origin examples are Ujah, Idoko, Onoja etc

Igala, Idoma and some parts of Igbo share common surnames due to close proximity and geographical location

Onoja can't divide Igalas vote. He is a political featherweight.

Yeah, I'm aware. I'm vast in Yoruba language. I was born and bred in Lagos.
Igala and Yoruba languages where made from the same cooking pot. There are several points of convergence in the history of both ethnic groups.

Ebu is a place in Delta state that speaks a variant Igala dialect different from the mainstream Igala dialect. Make no mistakes about it. They are Igalas.
