In 2014, pdp governors were escorted like kings, when apc governors were locked up.

The table has turned. The power has changed hands.
I know most Nigerians are hypocrites anyway.

Well, what a man sows, he shall reap.
Senseless post... Is APC no longer in power to "change" the evil traditions of PDP? U guys are just funny

APC just gave obaseki the last campaign for him to win.....some Edo people sitting on the fence will vote for pdp as a result of this desperation by oshiomole


Am neither a of fan both,
but it seems Obaseki reserved this unforseen technical knockout punch for oshiomole.

comrade never saw this coming.
Chai Shuaibu is really the MVP best loyal deputy ever seen.

but don't be carried away by their political dramas, Edolites deserve more better than APC and PDP.
damn them both.

The Hotel where the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike is lodging while on official assignment in Benin, Edo State has been held siege by over 300 Police men.

Recall that Governor Wike was appointed Chairman of the PDP National Campaign Council for the Edo Governorship election; this is same position Governor Ganduje of Kano State occupies for his party the APC.

Governor Ganduje and Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State are all in Benin, Edo State carrying out their assignment for the APC without any molestation or intimidation.

And in a breach of the pledge they made security agencies have decided to harass and intimidate Governor Wike who has not done any wrong.

Rivers People Warn that we Shall hold the IGP responsible for anything that happens to our Governor.

Less than 24 hours to Edo state governorship election, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Friday cried out that its governors are being held hostage by police in the state.

Addressing newsmen in Abuja, the National Chairman of the Party, Prince Uche Secondus, who raised the alarm said that police have surrounded the Westend Hotel occupied by the PDP governors.

Secondus called on the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, to order his men to vacate the hotel immediately.

He added that the governors lives are in danger, noting that the APC governors, who are also in Benin are not harassed.

Secondus alleged that Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma and the Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege are presently in the home of former governor of Edo state, Adams Oshiomhole.

He said: “The Policemen have surrounded the hotel and their lives are in danger. We call on IGP to ask the police to leave the place because their lives are in danger.

“If APC governors are in Benin, the PDP governors should be in Benin. Our governors would remain in Benin, no one can intimidate us.

“We are bringing this to the attention of the international community. Elections must be free and fair. Elections must be allowed to hold. You cannot allow APC governors in Edo and bar PDP governors.”

Our leaders should always strive to act their constitutional role instead of further escalating a tensed environment. Do they know the gravity of the use of the word 'hostage'? It's imperative Nigerians advise our leaders to face serious governance and stop this charade.

Good for democracy. Edo state is not his state.

It shows that many of those who have commented did not read the news because their comment shows the level of stupidity and this is the exact reasons Nigeria has been held bound. Wike is in Benin so are also the APC governors and you are asking what wike is doing there without making references to the APC personality there. This is absolute madness. How can people be so blind and bias beat my imagination.

On a serious note, police didnt stop wine and pdp governors from moving, they were only there to ensure no brouhaha.
I dont know y I hate pdp. Pdp makes me loving apc daily maybe I will stop liking apc when third party takes over certainly not pdp.

I have said it earlier that Nigerians are like a leopard that can't change its colors.

If you have 99 parties, all of them would do what pdp did in ekiti if they are in power.

It's not because of the party. It's because they are Nigerian.

The victims card was played by apc.

It's like a movie, we only have a change of role.
