wristbangle: Yes and this answers my question on whom you voted for. The reputation of obaseki gave him an edge over pastor ize iyamu. Sometimes it's not about the party, it's about the person that will live up to people which I see in obaseki. If not because at national level APC is performing below Nigerians expectation, the margin APC would have given PDP will be extremely wide.
Some angry youths from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) are currently protesting the results so far released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from the Edo state governorship election held yesterday.
The youths on Thursday have been barred from gaining entrance into INEC's collation centre in Benin City.
The protesters alleged that the results currently being released by INEC “were manipulated over the night”, saying that they want their mandate.
Also, the PDP Returning Officer for Oredo LGA disputed the results released for the local government area by INEC and called for cancellation of poll results which he termed as ‘fake.’
The hall at the INEC collation centre in Benin is currently rowdy.
I initially thought the pastor had a shot cos of the "hunger narrative" and how much Buhari is alienating "them" till a dear Esan friend (staunch PDP leaning) said and I quote "edo people dey vex, dem nor go vote", which sounds strange if indeed obaseki is 3rd term for oshio.
yes there is hunger because of APC but voting PDP now will kill everybody in Edo state not to talk of what lucky did for 8 years. if anybody want to win Edo election and you have lucky as your backup then you have already lose.
southernbelle: and most people in Edo state don't want someone that was strongly backed by the Igbenedions. Its not as if Oshiomole did anything special.
he did nothing but compared to lucky he did better.
seunmsg: PDP won online while APC won the real contest officially. Tales of two victories. Oshio baba, you be the man. Congratulations to Obaseki and all APC members. The result shows clearly that Nigeria's still believe in the president and his administration.
Below, APC members in Edo state right now.
you are wrong, no hope in APC but obaseki as a person is better than iyamu that's why many of us vote him .
koboko69: That guy does not have sense.leave him. If he gets caught up in violence or cross fire, he will be the first to come here to shout how there was insecurity, or blame the govt for not taking adequate steps to protect his wailing life. How does one expect freedom of movement during elections in Africa?
don't mind him, prevention they say is better than cure.
