But they are constitutionally, no more members of the house, by virtue of their seats, been declared vacant.
More over, they took the matter to court, do they not have confidence in our legal system again?

we need to calm down in this country oo

to what end when Nigerians are d ones suffering from all d political wars and imbalance?

Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State said on Thursday that the state would resist any attempt by anybody to forcefully take over the state House of Assembly.

What is the future for Oshiomhole in Edo? As a trade unionist who entered politics, he has kept support from workers, as well as picking up new and important political allies, such as Tinubu, along the way.

If Obaseki wins, he is likely to run his governorship in the same way and with the same policies as he did his first term, regardless of the fact that he is now representing the opposition. Parties matter mostly as campaigning machines.

That triggered Obaseki’s defection to the opposition PDP, although he remains the incumbent governor, with all its powers of patronage, until the September election.

And Oshiomhole has shoe-horned in his protégé Osagie Ize-Iyamu as the APC’s candidate for the Edo governorship. This is much more than a battle between incumbent Obaseki and challenger Ize-Iyamu

For Oshiomhole, Ize-Iyamu is an ally of convenience. In 2016, Oshiomhole spurned Ize-Iyamu’s campaign for the governorship in Edo in favour of Obaseki. Now it is the other way around. And in 2012, Ize-Iyamu led Oshiomhole’s campaign for a second term as governor of Edo.

Oshiomhole used his power within party structures to block Obaseki’s nomination for a second term as governor in this year’s election.

Obaseki won the 2016 gubernatorial election in Edo on the APC ticket but then fell out badly with Oshiomhole




what caused d fallout??
