The judge ruled on 8/6/2020 that status quo should maintained. And the same thing was said Yesterday.

popez:
They will be voted for at ward level where social distancing can be observed. At ward level, the number of people gathered can be controlled and they'd be far lesser compared to thousands that will gather for the indirect primary mode.

I have a problem with godfatherism and theft.

At the bolded you just support the reason why Direct Primary is the best. Have a nice day.

popez:
In a direct primary, every registered party member gets to vote. Now do you understand the implication of that;thousands of people gathered at a place in the middle of a pandemic?
Do you even realize the number of lives that will be put at risk? Do you? Why don't they instead adopt the indirect mode whereby selected delegates will do the voting. Less number of people exposed, social distancing observed, the state and people remain safe. But No, you lots want direct primaries so you can hand over the state to Tinubu!

You’re still getting it wrong. Even those selected delegates must be voted for by all registered party members.
Seems your problem is with Tinubu and the last time I checked Tinubu is just a single person.
Obaseki you’re fighting for ran to Lagos to beg the same Tinubu. Does that mean Obaseki wanted to hand over the stare to Tinubu?

popez:
Bros, Obaseki is the governor of the state! The chief security of the State! He'll say and act on what will keep his state safe. If he says the direct primaries isn't safe for his state and his people, NWC has absolutely no right nor jurisdiction to override his decision! Do you need me to write in caps before you understand me, bro?

You just to choose to believe what you want.
DO you know that Indirect primary is double election and there is more risk than the Direct primary?
Indirect Primary- there will be ward congresses to select the delegate, this will be election by all party members at their wards to choose the delegates that will travel to benin. by doing this You and Obaseki didn't see any danger/risk of covid-19 spreading.
Then the elected delegates will travel to Benin in their thousands and converge in a place to vote.. remember that the delegates are not going to vote according to the wishes of those that sent them, because they will vote for the highest bidder.

Meanwhile a Direct primary is when all the party members converge at their wards and stand behind the poster of their choice candidates and results announced and everybody will go to their houses.

Now tell me why Obaseki want the people to go through all this stress just because of his own selfish gain.
I hope I have been able to enlighten you about the 2 modes of primaries and please tell me which is more better in curbing the spread of the virus.

popez:
You seem to be getting something mixed up. The mode of primaries conducted by a party has nothing to do with the constitution of the country.
And Inec also doesn't conduct party primaries.

You mixed everything up. I can barely understand what you wrote.

Btw, Obaseki refusing to inaugurate some HOA members doesn't in any way mean they should conduct direct primaries and risk the lives of the good people of Edo state.

You're the one getting it wrong.. There is a room for direct primary in the APC constitution and the NWC is vested with the power to choose and organize the party primary.
It is funny how only Obaseki out of 6 candidate is against the party decision and you are here supporting the minority decision.

popez:
Obaseki is the governor and Chief security of the state. If he says indirect primaries is best and safest for his state, who is oshiomhole to counter him? We are in the middle of a pandemic, putting people's life at risk over mere vendetta shouldn't be encouraged by any well-meaning Nigerian

Will Obaseki dictate to INEC how to organize the election? It’s funny that you people want to claim that ordinary Executive Order supersede the Constitution.
Obaseki may be disqualify because of the executive order by his party because it is anti-party.
You refused to say anything on his refusal to swear in legally elected 14 APC members. I guess that’s right and not against the law to you.

popez:
So because of that we should punish the governor by handing over the state to Tinubu?

Does your logic sound sane to you?

Is Obaseki not playing God Father by inaugurating those that are loyal to him and leaving out 14 APC members?
Why is it that it’s only Obaseki out of 6 contestants against the direct primary?

Champneys:
Baba e ni pig. Iwo omo iran ki iran yi!
Vacuous troglodyte!

You’re on a faceless forum blabbing anyhow. Iran di Iran ę, won ma rin wo Igbo ni. Omo ma shey anfani. Omo Alę

Champneys:
Why wont he know a day like this will come when he went through the process before and knows it is a standard rule that everyone contesting for office must go through a screening process?

And if you are up to date, you will know that he was screened yesterday.

Fu..cking brainless pleb!

Why are you this unfortunate in life? If you read and can’t understand what I wrote, it would have been better if you just pass my comment and not mention me with your miserable life. Pig.

I guess he didn’t know a day like this will come. You’ve not been screened and you’re already blackmailing the process.

Obaseki didn’t have control of his appointees. Because Tinubu didn’t do what Obaseki wants, so his appointees can start insulting him. June 22 is around the corner. Remember Tinubu don’t fight in public.

We are tired of this cat and rat fight. Both of them should wait till June 22 for the Royal Rumble. The winner should embrace the loser and both work together for the success of the party.

Ttooyy12345:
He has started giving covid19 palliatives to APC members. I was shocked to see that on ITV news this evening (Local govt chairman received palliative items from Gov Obaseki to be given to Esan North APC members)

Let them collect his palliatives and enjoy.... He dug the pit for himself and nobody will help me out.

youthofnaija:
I am almost certain that this screening committee was put together by the chairman and the NWC. Take a look at the attached image to see how the screening committee should be constituted according to the APC constitution, Article 19.

I'm sure Obaseki didn't read or know about this before listening to those bad advisers of his.... Now that the Party constitution give the Chairman all this power, Oshiomhole will use all the power to the fullest. It's a pity that the so called Investment Mogul is a learner in politics...

Where are those claiming that Edo APC will organize Indirect Primary.... 2 weeks and some days Obaseki should start campaigning...

Magnus Abe should defect to PDP and stop playing hide and seek.
Igo Aguma didn’t even contest for the post of the state chairman in 2018. How come he is now declared by the court as the Acting Chairman.
Same Justice Omereji that was used by Wike in 2015 to do dirty job in their enquiry committee is giving judgement.

So PDP will not give the ticket to their most loyal region? They’ve been loyal to the party at the detriment of their warlord son

LudaChriz:
Is Oshiohmole God?

He’s not God. And that’s the reason we should them deal with each other.

But Obaseki’s adviser said that Oshiomhole removes all the equipments in the building and take them back to Lagos immediately the President commissioned the hospital.

Ahmed0336:
In fact eh that guy you quoted got me wondering
If my brain is still functional

Don’t mind them. When Obaseki was acting like a loose dog they were all clapping for him that he will deal with Oshiomhole. Now that Oshiomhole is giving Obaseki in doggy style they’re shouting No to God fatherism.
I said it that PMB will not help him.

Esseite:
Get you stories straight...

The house was inaugurated with the Governors consent and proclamation, the 14 lawmakers absconded because they were not happy with the inauguration which they were were absent but communicated (case study Saraki vs NASS 2015), which could not get them to elect Oshiomole's mole as speaker.

They decided to not attend plenary again to be sworn in which deemed it fit for the speaker to declare their seats vacant as allowed in the constitution after 181days of not representing their people..

You’re twisting the story that is on public domain. The house was inaugurated in the middle of the night with just 10 members.
When the NASS ask Obaseki to re-inaugurate the house what stopped him for over a year?
APC sent 2 committees to Edo to resolve the issues but same Obaseki refused to meet with them.
What about the destruction of properties of those that are not in his camp?
Remember how he went to use trucks to block the streets that leads to Oshiomhole’s house in GRA.
His deputy’s petition and press conference at Abuja asking the IGP to arrest Oshiomhole?
Asking Oshiomhole to always seek for his permission before coming into the state.
And the last one plotting and celebrating the removal of Oshiomole by a FCT high court.
Obaseki didn’t have good advisers and now he’s facing the repercussions of his actions.

Esseite:
The Edo APC wants indirect primary while the Abuja APC wants the direct primary..

But APC Constitution didn’t give the stateAPC power to choose or organize primary. It is the responsibility of NWC in Abuja.

Xda59:
How can he be the judge when the election is going to be conducted by inec? The deal is, oshiomole has majority of the party members on his side so victory is sure if it is direct primary.

You’re right at the bolded. Obaseki didn’t have good politicians as his advisers. Now they’ve misled him and his making it look like it’s only Oshiomhole is the person fighting him.

Web2020:
Did Obaseki told you he is avoiding primaries. The last time I check funke was sentenced for holding birthday party in Lagos as a result of disobeying social distancing rule. Suddenly, because of hatred and hypocrisy Covic19 does not matter again. Obaseki primary duty is to protect life and properties in Edo State. [b]Until NCDC officially declare Edo State free of Covid-19 no direct election that will expose Edolite to the virus. [/b]Obaseki you are a true son of your father.

Does that mean the election will not hold because of Covid-19?

youthofnaija:
I thought Oshiomhole was actually smart... Obaseki will get APC ticket. Please take a look at the uploaded image (APC constitution).

There are 2 factions in the state and as it is now the party constitution gave the NWC headed by Oshiomhole to take over the running of the party in the state. The changing of the party secretariat has nothing to with the Primary organized by the NWC because all correspondence will be addressed to the National Office in Abuja.
Not all the State EXCOs are with Obaseki’s faction as at this time. So this article can’t work against the party.

TreasureJunky:
Please what's the difference between direct and consensus method?

Direct is when all registered party members lined up behind the poster of their choice candidate in their respective wards and the results will be announced immediately. Collation will be done LGA by LGA (Direct Primary is a mock election)
Consensus is when all the party aspirants and excos choose to support a candidate without going for primary. Example is PMB was the consensus candidate of APC in 2019 election.

Kweensavvy:
This Oshiomole is ready for Obaseki... Rigging (trade mark of the APC) is about to go down!

I was seriously wondering how Obaseki would scale through the primaries considering same Oshomole will oversee the entire activity of the party (he's the national chairman). That primaries is within is territory.

It would take the grace of God for Obaseki to scale through this. If he does, the other stage won't be a headache.

Already that one is already changing all the changeables lolz

Good luck to Mr Governor.

At the bolded is Obaseki’s problem and he didn’t manage all this issues very well. He should have wait till his second term before fighting the parry National Chairman who is the person that will submit the party candidates name to INEC. Obaseki didn’t learn from the best politicians.

Desmondkk123:
Oshiomole is taking this too personal, or he has a motive that when the aspirant he is backing up win, is he going to overthrown him??

He is not taking too personal. Obaseki did all he could to remove Oshiomhole as the party chairman, when the court judgement that removed Oshiomhole was delivered Obaseki was seen on TV jubilating and his men came out hard to say so many things about Oshiomhole. Now that Oshiomhole maneuvered his way back to power he is paying Obaseki back in his own coin. Unfortunately for Obaseki his faith lies in the hands of Oshiomhole as regards the APC candidate for the election.

Who is this one again? It’s funny how Naija politicians just wake up and make comments as if we the masses can’t even think for ourselves. Seems like Okechukwu is just coming back from Pluto for him not to know that there’s an Appeal Court ruling already and nobody has gone to Supreme Court to vacate the order.

They wanted to get back door injunction. This is a constitutional issue and the court can’t stop the process of election.

called2Bsaint:
But the court has given recognition to the fashion loyal to Obaseki. This is where the trouble lies.

If you read the news you will see where the NWC said the Obaseki led faction Chairman is not known to the NWC. This is the reason APC need to go the Direct primary way so that non of the factions will decide the out come. But unfortunately for Obaseki the person he is fighting is the head of the National Party and the Judge in the primary. This is like having a referee supporting your opponent in a football match.

Flier:
Its his duty,he is the chairman of the party
He decides what’s what and I think Obaseki is missing this
At the end of the day I see tribunal declaring the runner up in the up coming election the legitimate winner

At the bolded. If the APC flag bearer is produce through the Direct Primary there won’t be any reason for them to lose the election to the runner up. Except there’s a case of forgery like experienced in Bayelsa.
