What he meant was Indirect can be easily monitored unlike Direct primary.....the crowd wud be too much everywhere would be so rowdy.

So will the election also be indirect because of crowd controlling? Direct primary is a true definition of democracy. Why is Obaseki scared of facing the whole APC members to choose the person to represent the party.

seanfer:
Obaseki has People who are not grass-root politicians. Those that can’t even win LGA election on their own and Obaseki has come to realize this in the last 1 month and that’s the reason he is running from Lagos to Abuja to beg those that have say in the party.
On the day of the primary election I can assure you that Obaseki will lost before 12pm because the forces against him are more than those with him. Also know that some of his loyalist will jump ship once it’s few days to the primary election, that’s if the election committee from Abuja did not disqualify him before the day of the election proper. Nigerian Politics is a dirty game and it’s meant for the shameless only.

Obaseki is going to conduct his own primaries.Edo is going the way of Zamfara.If Oshiomhole don't want Obaseki to go for 2nd term nobody wud go under APC

Why not bother about your pdp? Who are those contesting under pdp

seanfer:
Google the APC Constitution. Article 13v says the NWC shall organize the primary for the position of President, Governor and National Assembly seats.
The Edo APC chairman and Obaseki are just trying to play the victim card.

But the Constitution did not state that NWC can choose mode of Primaries.

From the look of things, Obaseki has won the battle

That was how you people pushed the man to go and be shouting that he wants to fight godfatherism. Now he is running from one godfather to another to help him beg Oshiomole.

Because it can easily be manipulated by the SHORT MAN DEVIL

How can indirect primary work in a factionalised state. It is a recipe for disaster, if faction loyal to obaseki inagurate delegates to vote in indirect primary, the faction loyal to osho can easily approach the court and it end like zamfara and Rivers.

Direct primary is the best for the two factions, they should all participate and the faction with huge grassroot followers will carry the day.

IT IS THE SAME EDO STATE APC THAT STILL HAS POWER TO DECIDE THE KIND OF PRIMARY THEY WANT.

Not Abuja leaders.

what about the national chairman ,who is also in one faction,who happens to be the referee that will call the results of them both.is he not going to be biased, and favour his faction.be rational and not myopic.

All your comments shows that you’re not ready to learn aside what you read online. The reason why APC lost Zamfara is because the 2 state factions organized their indirect primaries separately. And the NWC has avoid what happened in Zamfara by going for Direct Primary so that all party members irrespective of the faction they belong to will participate in choosing the party flag bearer. Try and study the case of Ogun and Imo where their Governors organizes their own tomatoes against the decision of the NWC and INEC/Court didn’t recognize them. Obaseki knows that he is gone and that’s the reason he has been running to Lagos and Abuja to beg people to please on his behalf for soft landing but as it is now nothing can safe him.

Before you say this try and read Article 13 of APC Constitution and you will know that NWC is bested with the power to organize the Governorship primary.

There will be an electoral committee and the chairman is not part of that committee it will consist of APC Governors and other stakeholders. The election will have INEC in attendance

Oshiomhole is the chairman of the committee

You spoke my mind.

Direct primaries is the solution where you have factional leaders of executives.

APC has 2 State secretariat in Benin and of course with 2 chairmen each claiming to be authentic.

Na Direct primaries we go use resolve the potopoto fight.

[quote author=Xfemt post=90260852]A whole state chairman you said? A chairman that's not even recognised by the party's NWC, as EDO is now there are two chairmen, on ize iyamu reaping where he didn't sow, do you kNow ize iyamu is a founding member of the APC, do you kNow ize iyamu was the national vice chairman of ACN before it was merged with other parties to form this scam party called APC

Racoon:
Abeg stop all this your hypocrisy.Oshiomole have long chosen a man he once said “I didn’t appoint Ize-Iyamu because of his past record, I would not be comfortable to put government money in his hand, that is why I kept him completely out of government, I didn’t even give him a board appointment.He was part of the government that looted Edo State treasury.
https://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2016/08/29/ize-iyamu-cant-be-trusted-with-govt-treasury-oshiomhole/

Abi no be you be this again.......

It's all political, political talks fired to weaken the support base of Ize Iyamu then.

That's why they say there's no permanent friends in politics.

This Edo issues is enough. If you know you are popular go for any mode of primary. Why disturbing the peace of the society. When you were laughing with your thirty two teeths you never expected the unexpected?
Pls let's go to the other news

[quote author=spirul77 post=90267136][/quote]if u want me to tell u d whole truth drop ur WhatsApp number. oshomole is a backstabber
including poi

I've been in der circle and I no many tins

[quote author=moderatedguy post=90262752]Lol, stop wasting your time, even obaseki knows he's gone!!!

Go for direct primary and stop all this stories .Yet na the Governor own his state why is it so difficult to accept direct election in his own state not Abuja .whoever supported indirect primary is anti democracy in Nigeria . the Governor's performance and his ability for good governances in his state will determine the generality votes for him or her in the direct election while governors or any contestant can buy their way illegally through selected delegate in the indirect primary election election .

bolaayenimo:
Oshiomhole is the chairman of the committee

No. The primary election committee have not been selected yet. It will be chaired by a state Governor.

Las Las, we will still settle d matter

EXACTLY

seanfer:
You got it wrong. Indirect primary is where a candidate will dictate the outcome of the election.
Direct primary is where all the registered party members line up behind their preferred candidate. This is done ward by ward.

both of u r saying d same thing

Obaseki is a tough technocrat who knows his onions....ur Oshiomhole wud soon be dispatched to dustbin of his.

When you abandoned your political father claiming he was a fool,now you know he knows more than you do. A man that defeated the late Mr fix it in his home state is not a novice in the game of politics ,joke with him at your own peril ..

Na social media dem dey vote àbí?

Na so dem take deceive Atiku, online supporters without PVC

bolaayenimo:
Indirect primary everybody will vote and counted immediately. Direct they will just declare fake results anyhow like they did In Ogun and Imo

Indirect,only Obaseki SSA,SA and some handpicked members that will vote but all Edo state APC members will vote in direct primary.
