Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, said his Edo State counterpart, Godwin Obaseki, will overcome the political challenges in the State’s chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and emerge the party’s flagbearer in the forthcoming governorship election in the State.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, Nigeria’s electoral body, had fixed the governorship election in Edo for September 19.

Fintiri, who is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s Chairman of Ward Congresses Committee for Edo 2020 election, made the prediction about Obaseki while speaking to journalists Monday on arrival at the Benin Airport.

According to him, Obaseki is a democrat and has behaved as one by creating the environment for the PDP to have a successful event, by providing the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium for the use.

“Obaseki is a democrat; he has given us a venue for the event and we didn’t expect less from him. “He will also lodge me in the Government House Quarters, which is normal.”

Fintiri added: “I believe Obaseki will overcome, and we will also overcome our challenges and meet at the election.” He assured of fair process in the emergence of a candidate for the PDP in the Edo 2020 election.

“As chairman of the Committee, We will ensure a level playing ground and see that the best candidate emerges to contest with the APC candidate”.

Also, some governors, who are members of the APC, have thrown their weight behind Governor Obaseki. Obaseki’s many battles Obaseki and his predecessor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, who is the national chairman of the APC, have been at loggerheads over the governor’s second term bid and other issues.

The feud between Obaseki and Oshiomhole has polarised the party in Edo State. Last Tuesday, the faction loyal to Oshiomhole endorsed Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu as its consensus candidate for the June 22 governorship primary election of the party.

Daily Trust reliably gathered that there is a plot to disqualify Governor Obseki ahead of the June 22, 2020, APC governorship primary in the state has been activated.

The party has fixed the screening of the six aspirants that have purchased, filled and submitted nomination and expression of interest forms for Wednesday and Thursday.

The six aspirants are Gov. Obaseki, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, Rt. Hon. Dr. Pius Odubu, Engr. Chris Ogiemwonyi, Hon. Osaro Obazee and Hon. Matthew Aigbuhuenze Iduoriyekemwen.

A member of the NWC of the APC said “dangerous” discrepancies had been uncovered in the forms submitted by Obaseki to the party’s secretariat in Abuja.

The party chieftain, who did not want to be named, said those who were against the candidature of the governor were going to capitalise on the discrepancies to disqualify him.

The Fake Oracle has spoken

Yes! This goes on to confirm what we already know here in Edo state. The only problem being the one who is equating himself as a political maradona hypocrite Oshiomole with mind completely made up to rig. The rumor has it that he already has the results waiting to publish.

Those who rigged in the past in our state failed and Oshiomhole who benefited the most from that magnanimity of Edo sons and daughters in 2007 will fail as well

Lol, Wetin concern PDP with APC? This country sef

Las las na Ogun go still kill all of una polithiefcians

Ok

I don't know anything about Edo politics, but Finitri should concentrate on his party.

Damnnnnn niggarrr
This fintiri must be a real niggarrr
Anyday anytime twice on election Day

yes am fully in support, oshiomole shul go to sleep.

This is an anti-party pronouncement. What now happens to the PDP governorship candidate in the state? This PDP governor is supposed to support his party candidate. This Adamawa governor better watch it. Or this may be a sign that Obaseki will decamp to the PDP.

Hmmm


Ambode was the only coward that bowed to his godfather.

APC vs PDP when this trend will change?
this matter tire me...

The cowards from a certain section of the country won't like this news. Watch how they will jump on this thread and try to make a case for why godfathers should be worshipped and not fought against.

yes am fully in support, oshiomole shul go to sleep. no weapon fashion by him shal prosper.

Its none of my business.

Till den o

Let's the best rigger win

But this is A PDP governor now, Is their no PDP in Edo state again? Anti party activities, from the looting party.

Is that not the same way they raised Ambode's hope?

Time will tell.

I tell you. That's why you see many cowards from that section of the country jumping from thread to thread on this Obaseki issue futilely trying to discredit him

Built2last:
Hmmm


Ambode was the only coward that bowed to his godfather.

wait let me check weda obaseki we emerge apc candidate

Na u go determine dat

Chai

As you're certain he'll emerge as APC flagbearer, I hope you're also certain, he'll win the election. Politheifchians

BTW
Our elders says: He who meddles in a matter that's not his business, should be ready to dance to it's music

Liar

I am not even in support of APC giving Obaseki the ticket. I want our politicians to learn a lesson. Oshiomole came into power as a result of the division in the PDP then. Osunbo was just like Obaseki damning all godfathers and there was a great fight against him just like Oshiomole is doing now. How did it end??


Another party needs to take over, APC is power drunk. Their primary seems like the main election already. Their ear, make Obaseki just relax enjoy the show.. Protest vote loafing.. 91% complete.





Let's make Nigeria great together.


God bless Nigeria.
