All these things you have stated here were all reactions of Obaseki to Oshiomole's high handedness. It is not like he started the fight, he simply did not take the fight lying low. That he is governor today is because he took that action however controversial it may be.
The old adage of if you must dine with the devil, use a long spoon was what Obaseki had to apply, there was no way he could give an obvious enemy an advantage. He had to secure the speakership afterwhich, the others could come for inauguration. I guess their seats are now vacant anyway
Nice points;

Only that you have still not said what Adams did wrong by fighting to deny Obaseki from contesting and returning as governor.

Everybody should dine with a long spoon abi?

Use what you have to fight abi?

So how did Adams go wrong by fighting back the way he could?

This Is what we are arguing here.

My own argument is that Obaseki was actually the one fighting back not the other way round.

That tinubu video was on purpose. He has never make any such video or statement on any state election before openly endorsing a candidate more so with the edo no be lagos slogan
crossfm:
The video is a coded message to Tinubu.

He said he was optimistic the party was going to win the election prior to 3 weeks ago.In other word's the actions and inactions of APC in the last 2 week's caused their downfall.

The video Tinubu made urging the people of Edo state to reject the governor was ill-timed. Considering the "Edo no be Lagos "slogan still fresh on the peoples mind.

If APC still want to remain relevant, they need to address their infernal conflicts.Reach out to aggrieved and neglected members for reconciliation.

They should also have a roundtable meeting with the president, so that they can address most of the antipeople policies.

Now let us not be hypocritical.

Even if you were Adams, you would have found every way to stop Obaseki from returning.

1. Refusing to swear in 14 of my loyalists until you have succeeded in installing your speaker.

2. Paying my party ward chairman to suspend me and making me lose the party chairmanship.

3. Publicly probing the finances of my administration. .

A lot of you criticizing Oshiomole for masterminding Obaseki's exit from APC would have done far worse if you were in his shoes.

That's hypocritical.
Stop sounding like a broken record, three weeks ago you were taunting how tinubu and Osho will finish work with PDP in Edo, today you're blaming Buhari as if he did anything wrong.
Firstly u tinubu boys always make noise as if he is a god and without him APC is nothing and he wins any election he has interest in, so the canal/presidency faction decided to allow u show muscle in Edo without interfering, it's not as if security was working for PDP sef, yet tinubu,Osho and ize were beaten mercilessly on an even playing ground, so your tears just mean that you're angry Buhari didn't assist in federal might, so shut up and leave the baba in aso rock alone.

But the big question be say... whether lagosian are ready to liberate themselves
To put an end to zombeism
Anyway..... whenever they are ready...they should inform we Edolite
damnnnnn niggarrr, you're not a real niggarrr at all. You quickly forgot that people didn't vote PDP but Obaseki and more so, PDP won Edo in the last Presidential election. Don't let envy of Tinubu's greatness allow you to develop Tinubu's hate. It is not a sign of a real niggarrr grin

He thought it was business as usual but was shocked to see it was a done deal. No federal might presence and no room for rigging. Congratulations to Godwin Obaseki

Bring out the post where I posted 3 weeks ago that Tinubu and Oshiomole will finish whatever in Edo.

Bring out the post or call yourself an idiot forever if you can't.

What happened before all the scenes you mentioned started playing out, start from there
Abi ooooo.

Oshiomole wanted to humiliate obaseki.

He wanted to give him the ambode treatment

Obaseki saw the handwriting and started attacking back.

Tinubu was heard publicly sending indirect messages to ambode through mandate group that he will not be allowed second term.

Ambode was doing gentleman like GEJ, doing party loyal loyal...he suppose don trow shiit for ceiling fan make everything scatter..

Why d guy dey fear? Agbero fit kill a sitting governor? I still dey mad with that idiot.

See him now, he is on the run hiding. Very unintelligent person...he and his loyalist could have moved to PDP ... PDP party structure + his own APC loyalist is a force

Obaseki, na man u be

His body language says it all. Federal Govt. supported Obaseki somehow.
He said 2 to 3 weeks ago, meaning before Tinubu released the video.
He also accepted the result unlike what Gov. Hope is saying.

I see Obaseki returning to APC soon.
Them no born him well. Is he mad? angry

are you guys not going to focuse on your own region??

So upon all the problems facing the East.

Upon all the backwardness that is currently hitting the East.

Upon all the killings that is lately going on in that region.

Na Elrufai and Tinubu mater una carry for head.

The south east is currently the most backward region in Nigeria.

Your governors are the most useless set of governors in Nigeria.

My recent travel to the south east for a wedding, I wept for igbo land.

No good roads. No development.

Gombe of yesterday is now more developed than Anambra state.

Why are you people not holding your governors accountable for your Allocation??

Elrufai is one the best governor in Nigeria who is currently developing Kaduna State and turning it into another Abuja yet the Igbos are hating and castigating him as if he's governing any of their state.

Why are you Igbos more concern with what is happening in the north or west? While Underdevelopment is busy hitting your region.
Your hatred for the Igbos and anything Igbo will destroy you sooner than later.

Yes, we don't have good "federal" roads in the East because the terrorist and his northern co-criminals have sworn that they will never be fair to us.

Killings are going on in the East, who are the killers? Are they not your fellow terrorists that invaded our land and wants to forcefully take over?

We remember RUGA, CATTLE COLONIES, GRAZING ROUTES etc.... there are the wicked efforts you Muslims terrorists are planning to use in taking over our land forcefully.

Let me remind you, no matter how sick a bull gets, it cannot be compared to a goat.

North is signifies anything ill. Terrorism, banditry, rape of all categories, illiteracy, inequalities, lies and deceit, diseases, hopelessness, fear and despair, injustice, incompetent dullards as leaders etc... in short, Satan is resident in the North and he is a Muslim.

What happened is that you and other CPC members worked against your "party" and allowed PDP win.

The CPC led FG withdrew "Federal might" and allowed INEC to conduct an election devoid of any shenanigans.

Why? You have to weaken the aspirations of the Jagaban come 2023.

What next? We will see the APC break up into ACN..regional party, CPC...regional party and the nPDP...they will have to beg to belong anywhere for relevance.

Jagaban can then become President of Oduduwa Republic

You can deny all you want but the fact remains on a level playing ground which happened in Edo, security and inec no side with anybody, tinubu and his cohorts will loose that election, the presidency is the only one who can win elections for APC so stop overating tinubu and disturbing our ears.

Please shut the bleep up, which killings? Do we look like southern Kaduna to you? U must not comment to every topic. I laugh at you when you say underdevelopment, do u even know what that means?

I don't know anything about next time. The fact is, as national leader of a party, under whose watch many states were needlessly given to the opposition without a fight, that begs a lot of questions.
Edo state was dashed to PDP by Oshiomole because of his poor man management. NOn be everything be gra gra.

Anyway, it was nice getting your perspective without the usual insults many on this forum are known for

Rather expect mass defection from APC to PDP.

APC is factionalized.

1. The Presidency faction.
2. The Tinubu faction.

The Presidency faction by their actions and inactions, helped Obaseki to win.

All in a bid to reduce Tinubu and Oshiomole.

This would be the fate of APC in 2023.
APC will destroy themselves in house.

PDP to take over in 2023.
Why always mentioning these two parties. Don't we have others huh That's how we keep recycling these old goons.

Re: El-Rufai On Edo Election: "APC Was Going To Win, I Don’t Know What Happened" by DTaj: 1:39pm On Sep 21, 2020
For those who know...This was the MANUAL (the TEMPLATE):

1. Oshiomhole disgraced Obaseki with the primaries thing.

2. APC Governors perceived to be urbane and cerebral, namely: Fayemi (Chairman Governors' Forum- NGF) of Ekiti, El-Rufai of Kaduna, Bagudu of Kebbi, told Obaseki not to WORRY, HE WILL WIN. He should move to PDP and secure the ticket.

3. APC Edo's final campaign rally was suddenly cancelled on its eve because MANY APC GOVERNORS (WITH THE PROMPTING OF FAYEMI AND EL-RUFAI) FAILED TO CONFIRM THEIR ATTENDANCE AT THE FINAL RALLY!!!

4. Ministers under Buhari, who are from Edo State, blatantly worked for Obaseki. One of them, Health Minister Ehanire, who was nominated into the cabinet in 2015 (and also retained in 2019) by General Theophillus (TY) Danjuma, is Senator Daisy Danjuma's (TY Danjuma's wife's) older brother (of the same father and mother). We all know the interview and newspaper advertorial Daisy Danjuma made where she fully supported Obaseki.

5. Buhari, through proxies, to avoid being quoted, told Obaseki the same thing in 2 above.

6. Obaseki got elected with votes from APC and PDP members!

7. Buhari congratulated Obaseki within one hour after he was declared winner. That was unprecedented by any President of Nigeria, who belonged to a different party from a Governor who won!

8. Finally, before the middle of 2021, OBASEKI WILL RETURN TO APC! He will be justified on account of having paid PDP people N18 billion to secure their ticket, and hence, their use was over! Bookmark this post!!!

And I tell you Buhari is to blame not Oshiomole.

Buhari has been aloof about party issues.

Only the President can speak while everyone else shuts up and listens.
The party chairman cannot.

Obasanjo was never this aloof to party crises.
Neither was Jonathan.

Blame it on Buhari and not Oshiomole.
