*Wike says Obaseki will win convincingly

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Campaign Council Chairman, Nyesom Wike has declared that Governor Godwin Obaseki would win the Edo governorship election convincingly.

Wike, who is also the Governor of Rivers State, made the assertion at the Grand Finale of the Edo PDP Campaign held at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City.

Wike said the convincing evidence on ground has shown the general acceptance of the party by the electorate.

He stated that with the achievements of the last four years, it would be impossible for Obaseki not to be declared the winner.

The Rivers governor however urged Edo people not to take things for granted but turn out in large numbers to vote the candidate of PDP.

“By the grace of God, the election has been won by Governor Obaseki. That does not mean that you’ll go and sleep. Everybody that wants to fight godfatherism should come out to vote.

“Use Edo election to end godfatherism. Make sure you vote and be vigilant too.

“I agree with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that the election will be free and fair. Even the Inspector General of Police has promised that nobody will rig the election. But do not leave the polling units after casting your votes.

“Repeat the Rivers State Model. Let every woman wear jean on election day, cast and defend your votes.

“Follow the votes to the Collation Centres. Do not go until INEC has announced Godwin Obaseki as the winner,” he said.

National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus described the Edo election as a special one.

He said the election would determine the status of elective democracy in Nigeria that is devoid of rigging.

“Let there be more restrictions for election riggers. Just like United States has done, I call on other democratic countries of the world to rise to protect Nigeria’s democracy.

“We all know that Obaseki is a performing governor. He has impacted the lives of Edo people. Let their will prevail. Edo people should resist all forms of godfatherism,” he stated.

In his speech, the Chairman of PDP Governors’ Forum, and Governor of Sokoto State, Alhaji Aminu Waziri Tambuwal urged Edo people not to sell their votes.

“I hear somebody said he will come to Edo with bullion vans. Stand firm and do not sell your votes.

“I appeal to INEC to conduct free and fair election. There should not be intimidation of the electorate.

“Stay at your polling units. Ensure your votes are counted. Vote for continuity,” he stated.

On his part, the Chairman of South-South Governors’ Forum and Governor of Delta State, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa said nobody can cheat PDP of its votes because it is a majority party in Edo State.

“We are not afraid. Nobody will change the results or cheat us on Saturday.

“You have done extensive campaign, from ward to ward. Pick your PVC on Saturday, go to your polling units and cast your votes for PDP,” he said.

Former Vice Presidential Candidate of the PDP, Peter Obi also spoke and urged Edo electorate not to vote the APC candidate for the sake of Nigeria.

According to him, we want Nigeria to be good and people like Obaseki are trusted.

The mega rally was also attended by the Governor of Bayelsa State, Douye Diri, and his Akwa-Ibom State counterpart, Emmanuel Udom.

Also in attendance were the Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, his Abia State counterpart, Okezie Ikpeazu, the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, and the Cross River State Governor, Professor Benedict Ayade.

Other dignitaries that accompanied the Rivers State Governor were the former Governor of Rivers State, Sir Celestine Omehia, former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Austin Opara and former Minister of Transport, Chief Abiye Sekibo..

I hear somebody said he will come to Edo with bullion vans. Stand firm and do not sell your votes.

I'm 100% sure Tinubu and APC would be disgraced in Edo State. Edo is not Lagos.

God bless Edo
God bless Obaseki




Shame on Ambode!

They should bring their Bullion Van , We would collect their Money and vote for PDP

ok

tambuwal just knocked tinubu and his criminal gang out of the contest.:

I trust my people,they will collect the money and still vote pdp

Mehhhn!
Kai wallahi!!
This Edo gubernatorial election go mahd gidi gan o..
E go sweet pass Barca an' Bayern

martineverest:
I trust my people,they will collect the money and still vote pdp

Bobo mii...
Na the mantra be that, Mahn
Make Obaseki nor go lose guard sha...
Edo own PDP, PDP own Edo

Ordinary obaseki ought to win.why?
Because voting pastor ize_iyamu will extent Edo south governorship tenure .which will keep Edo central and north waiting, something like that happened in Rivers state were Gov Ameachi and Gov Wike are from the same senatorial district and are lording16years over the 2 other area.

It will be foolish for Edo central and Edo north to vote a candidate of Edo south that will later want to take another term at their own detriment.
POI will surely do two term .

Let see how foolish these other two Senatorial area will determine their fate.

It is not about obaseki and POI it is for the leaders of Edo central and Edo North.

If obaseki fail to win,it is Edo central and north that lost not obaseki.

Edo south is using brain they should be wise.

LOOL !

na so

I wanted to comment but I had to stop at a point. Of what use is it to me, the people reading it, and those in authority. No one in authority listens to a faceless and unknown human behind a comment. A very sad but true realization.

More so, I am beginning to feel nausea over the way commenters play down the situation of the country. They either engage in tribal jingoism or give support to the very politicians who have derailed their future and benefits as citizens. It is beyond shocking and devoid of intellectual juggling.

As you understand better and gain perspective, you would realize that it is better to just read the story and a few comments below as you move on to the information search.

Today, I move... I drop the regular form and comment fitness of Richdad for a sober personality. I am fully aware that nature abhors vacuum hence, the arrival of vultures ready to feast on disgraceful opinions and commentary. It is in your place, however, to determine the quality of what you read.

You will find on my profile, archives and documented motivations, self-citations, briefs, life-changing analyses, and commentaries. My works speak for itself and the vast repository of my self-taught wisdom is available for access.

I take a bow.
