Only God knows...

It doesn't matter if Ugly and incompetent Obaseki remain in PDP or not. He will be removed by the Judiciary. He has numerous Court cases that awaits him, there's no way he's going to escape being removed.

If APC had won, would you bring out all these conjectures??

How Oshiomhole single-handedly gave Edo to PDP is God's plan.

Ondo State is a Yoruba state. It's time they say NO to slavery. If they want Liberation, we're here for them. We can't force liberation on anyone.

PDP is coming stronger for 2023.

God bless Edo

Shame on Ambode!

Please let Ambode be now, he's made his choice. It's enough.

Is left for him to decide but I doubt . But anything can happen.

Oshiopikin and Tinubu have been humiliated. Next time they should know power belongs to God. Back to business: He can only go back to APC if Oshiomole begged him.

Awol1:
The just concluded Edo governorship election defied several permutation and expectations of violence and Federal highhandedness to become one of the most credible, free, fair and violence free election Nigeria has ever had.

So many people have lent their voice on what they think must have made this possible, with some attributing it majorly to US visa ban and UK/EU threat of Visa ban and asset seizure.

Now, while not ruling out the role of the international community in making the election peaceful and credible, there's need to look at some local factors and political calculations that may have influenced the trajectory of the election.

First, the gang-up of some progressive governors against rediculing of sitting governors by powerful forces within the party. After it happened to Ambode, Oshiomole wanted to repeat it with Obaseki which prompted the protest of some of the APC governors who finally succeeded in booting out Oshiomole from the party Chairmanship. There's nogainsaying that some of these governors were still sympathetic to Obaseki's plight.

Second, with the tussle for 2023 already reaching a crescendo within the ruling party, APC has been dangerously divided into two, if not more, camps. The Tinubu camp and the Amaechi camp. Obaseki stood against the Tunubu camp which made him draw bulk of his support from the Amaechi camp even though he was in an opposition party. The idea of the Amaechi camp is to whittle down Tinubu's influence before the 2023 elections so as to boost their own chances.

Now, with both camps having their degree of relationship with the president, it's possible that it is the reason the Federal Govt chose to play neutral and let the people of Edo decide the fate of the two camps.

The big question however is, to what end? If politics is a game of interest like it's been severally defined, one will therefore not be wrong to think that there must be something in it for the Camp of APC that supported Obaseki. And if we recall, even after his defection from APC to PDP, Obaseki once released a video of him on a video call with the president. Doesnt all these things beg some questions?

So, considering that Obaseki seems to have left APC but those in APC didn't leave him, his touted cordial relationship with the president, and how agencies of govt involved in the elections maintained neutrality which aided his reelection, do you see Obaseki remaining in the PDP that went all out for him or do you see him returning to APC?

AWOL is a Nairalander and a servant to reason.

Obaseki G. Will not Return to APC.

Shame on Ambode!

Ondo State has no god fsther ... In 2016, even Tinubu and his aspirant was chased out of the stare... Which is where former chairman , John Oyegun problem started , when he refused to canceled the primary that brought in the present Gov ,Akaete...


On a free and fair election in Ondo , PDP or APC can Cary the day mostly PDP... But I see APC winning Ondo , even on a fair contest because the PDP cannot withstand APC incumbency money power in votes buying ...Ondo is a Niger Delta State , not like poor Osun , where Billonaire Adeleke defeated the incumbent in election and vote buying .

You don't change a winning team.��

I'd advise he remains in PDP, since the whole South South now belongs to PDP and enjoyyyyyy

Shame on Ambode!

Shame on Ambode!

A man who can singlehandedly feed your generation and your extended family for 50 years.

A man who is 1 million times more popular than you are.

A man who's most likely more accomplished in his career than you'd ever be.

A man who rose to the position of governor in Nigeria while the highwstvoffice you have probably held in your life is "head of the family"

Shame nor dey catch you!

I dislike PDP with passion but OBASEKI will be doing his Political funeral preparation if he leaves that party. APC will scatter before 2023 its only Buhari holding the party together

No doubt! Obaseki is not your everyday Nigerian politician. Folks who know what it took him before taking the decision to leave for pdp understand this better.

*The Book of Edo Chapter 1 vs 1 – 34.*

1. Now, it came to pass, In that period when men chose their rulers, after the reign of Lucky the son of Igbenedion. A certain man arose from the mount of Auchi whose name was Adams the son of Oshomiole.
2. It was he who was the chief of the publicans and a leader of labour. Later he had become Governor over all the province. And Adams abode as governor for eight years in Edo.
3. Behold, during his reign, the man Adams had excelled in speech and uttered many fierce and lofty words.
4. And his oration was honey and wine to the hearts of the people.
5. He ruled the city with a mighty hand and prophesied with a loud voice unto the four walls of the cities; the North, the South, East and West, saying;
6. “Woe unto the godfathers and naysayers and oligarchies, to the men who have exalted themselves over this city as gods over men.
7. “Again I say woe onto them. “For as the day wipeth out the night, I Adams the son of Oshomiole shall flush out their reigns, and seize their loin cloth.
8 “With a heavy rod shall I chase them out, and they shall run. I shall break their brass gates, and set their iron bars asunder. And it was so.
9. That at the end of the eight year, wherefore Oshomiole was to complete his reign, a man called Godwin the son of Obaseki had exalted himself saying, "I will be governor.
10. At the same time, Iyamu the son of Ize had also exalted himself and said i will be governor.
11. Adams had looked up the face of Obaseki and took his hand and kissed it and spake with a voice saying “fear not, for I am with you, oh thy faithful servant, I shall bear you upon my wings, thy mouth shall speak good tidings, and in my stead thou shalt reign.
12. And it came to pass, when the due season for contest came. Adams and Godwin went together in one accord, to the outskirts of the cities to the tabernacles, to the villages, and to every field.
13. Lo, Adams had held his companion's hand saying with a loud voice; “Oh cities of Edo hear ye my counsel, Oh land of my inheritance, bear thy comrade’s witness, for this is the man whom thou shall vote for, a faithful and just man!
14. “Begone from the man Iyamu for he is vain and double faced.
15. Cast not thy votes for him for his mouth is slack.
16 Ye! he has put on the loin cloth of a saint but his heart is darker than widow’s ash.
17. Withdraw your firstborn sons from him, for he dines in the devil’s cult.
18. Withdraw thy daughters, for he is a deformer!
19. And it came to pass that many people had hearkened unto the voice of Adams the son of Oshomiole.
20. And on the day of reckoning more votes had been casted for Godwin than for Iyamu and he had been crowned governor to reign in Adam’s stead.
21. Behold, at about the second year of the reign of Godwin, and like a dream of the night, after the feast of the old year, the new governor and old governor saw discord together.
22. The new Governor had called upon the people saying, ” he wants your gold and Silver and I said nay!!!. No man shall be god over this land, for this is the very cause ye fought for in your reign, and I say it shall stand.
23. And when it came to the ear of Adams the son of Oshomiole, what the new governor had done. He had cried with a loud voice..
24. “A traitor is on the throne!!. therefore shall my eyes not be allowed to behold the ungodly stand in judgement for long.
25.for yes! he has bitten the finger that fed him bread. And his reign must be seized!. Another four years thou will not go!
26. And Godwin the son of obaseki had responded, “I shall go another.
27. On the fourth year of the month and on the day when a new adversary was to be chosen to travail with Obaseki. Iyamu had come forth and said “here I am, I will go. And Adams spake softly saying ” I am with you.
28. Now the people of the city had rent their clothes and thrown forth their voice in desolation saying to the Adams the son of Oshomiole, who shall we go with?.
29. Whom shall we believe? For the Lord God is not the author of confusion, a man whom ye called a leper yesterday, how turneth he now an angel? And the one whom ye called a messiah the day before, how turneth he now leper?.
30. For dignity is not like the sun that comes and goeth. Or like the leopard spots, or like the stars, or the changing seasons. Dignity is like the word of the Lord that endureth forever.
31. And it came to pass after these things, that election was held throughout the province of the ancient city on the nineteenth day in the month of September in the year of corona A.D in the reign of Oba Ewaure 11,
32. that the people of Edo decided that light should defeat darkness and godfatherism casted into the bottomless pit.
33. And, Lo The Lord blessed Godwin the son of Nogheghase, the son of Obaseki with more votes over his contenders from the plain of Benin to Esan and across river Ikpoba unto Owan, Etsako and unto Akoko Edo.
34. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of David, which saith, God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

JAMO84:
PDP that has made SE the poverty capital of the south is the liberation you're talking about?

You guys will just sit behind your keyboard and be typing rubbish, south east the poverty capital of the South, which south east state have been to?and which criteria do you use to arrive at this your permutation? is it money, housing, roads, education or what because I don't know any region in Nigeria that ranks above the SE in the above mentioned criteria.

The script playing out favours the North retaining power in 2023 yet most southerners are applauding. Northern powers are goading the Governors to bicker by appealing to the greed and ambitions of the Governors. They keep promising support to Fayemi, Amaechi and Tinubu to succeed Buhari. Meanwhile it is a divide and rule whose aim is to weaken the APC and to strenghten PDP.
PDP has zoned the presidency to the North and Atiku is firmly in control there. Once APC is destroyed, PDP will ascend the presidency for another 8 years. Those who are fond of wailing the North is in control are the most vociferously hailing the destruction of APC to perpetuate the North in power.

Shame on Ambode!

You can't blame Ambode. He knew who Lagosians are and knew he didn't have the love of his people. The guy no do hin homework well, which is to draw people that'll help him to his side.

He scrapped a lot of ways the average Lagosian made a living, like those old women who sweep streets and LAWMA wey dey pack trash, come dey put oyinbo people to do the work.

Most Lagosians really hated him, and it had little to do with Tinubu influence.

Even Fashola had squabbles with Tinubu, but he still won a 2nd time, cos Lagosians were madly in love with him, sotey Tinubu sey sef no geh choice but to support him grudgingly for a 2nd term. Ambode knew his shortcomings and as a smart man that he is, he piped low and accepted his fate.

Obaseki knows his people are solidly behind him, even if he decamped to Sowore's party, AAC, hin people go follow am there, this is coupled with the goof of introducing Tinubu to try influencing Edos in their own turf. This is like inviting an Imam to preach to church members about Christ or vice-versa. No matter what he says, nobody go wan hear.

Anyways the Edo nobe Lagos slogan has come to stay sha...

Awol1:


I watched AIT interview of Wike and he dodged speaking ill of Tinubu throughout the interview.

From that moment, I've been suspecting Wike.

Maybe he's interested in cutting dealings with Tinubu before 2023.

Your observation is correct.

Assuming an Amaechi for example emerges as the flag bearer of APC in 2023, forming an alliance with Tinubu for example becomes inevitable where a northern candidate may emerge in the PDP.
For if Tinubu is denied the ticket then you can't expect anything less.

Leave that question till hext four years then apc is dead centrally. So let Obaseki be for now he has no reason to take his winning ticket to the camp of his enemy.

Him talking to Buhari means nothing that is what is called matured politics because he has no rift with buhari but Osho pikin.
