TANTUMERGO007:
what is worse than economic recession, and the goat is in Edo state for campaign

MadeInTokyo:


Buhari coming to campaign for Obaseki, is bad market for Obaseki with less than 5 days to election


Buhari's coming to Edo State will further reduce the 41,767 total votes that Godwin Obaseki was supposed to get by another 47%.
Buhari is seen as a disastrous failure by Nigerians,how then does he intend to sell his weak brand to an already disenchanted Edo people.
All we'll do is ask the the cost of a bag of rice --Ogbiede Ifaluyi Isibor


Edo APC just squandered the few votes Obaseki will gather. You've been working hard to sell a candidate who's Oshiomhole's cabinet face of abysmality, then you wrap it up with a Buhari. Failure is surely sure.--Akinloye Oyeniyi



What is Buhari going to tell Edo people?

Even Oshiomole, Obaseki and Edo State APC avoided campaigning with Buhari's name since the governoship campaign began in July.

This is the internet age. In a world where everyone is taking their businesses global, why should the fair ladies if the night restrict themselves to the street corners? They're not just on badoo only, they're on Facebook, WhatsApp, BBM etc, some even have websites self

dabimzy:
oke or Abraham would have been a better choice.APC has made a mistake again.This is a typical example of united we stand, divided we fall.They could have come together and picked Oke or Abraham.

ideology:

Forget about the crowd. All you need is just 5 bundles of 1000 naira note you will get more than 1 thousand peoples gathering. If PDP still want to protest tomorrow and bring out bundles too, you will still see majority of the faces.

To me, APC trying to steal through the back door in connivance with INEC. Why not face a rerun? How can APC get 35,000 votes against 2000 PDP in Rivers?

APC don't even know how to rig election. Even if it's Kano where majority is APC, PDP will still get more than that 2000 not to talk of Rivers when majority is PDP.

The much anticipated national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), scheduled to hold today (Wednesday), may not take place at its venue, as the Sharks Football Club Stadium, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, when the convention is to hold has been sealed off by security agencies.

Feelers had it late Tuesday night that the convention may be a fruitless effort as some factional members within the party had disclosed to the Nigerian Tribune that the security agencies would take over the venue.

The main gate leading to the state Government House, along the Azikwe Road axis, was relative free as at 8:30 am as there was no heavy security presence, though an Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) was seen packed closed to the gate.

The same cannot however, be said of Moscow Road/State Secretariat junction leading to the venue of the convention as there was heavy security presence at the axis.

The heavily armed combined team of MOPOL and regular police was seen conducting stop-and-search on motorists, even as they were prevented from accessing the road leading to the convention ground.

Meanwhile, as at the time of filing this report, there are indications that the PDP leadership was considering the possibility of shifting the national convention to another venue.

A source told Nigerian Tribune that the various caucuses of the party were in a meeting at the state Government House where a decision would taken on where the convention can possibly be held.

In a related development, three of the PDP national chairmanship contestants, Professor Tunde Adeniran, Chief Bode George and Dr Raymond Dokpesi, would be addressing a press conference on developments around the convention.

A source disclosed that the trio were alleging plans by Governor Nyesom Wike and his Ekiti State counterpart, Ayo Fayose, to skew the outcome of the convention in favour of another contestant from the South-West, Jimi Agbaje.

“The essence of the press conference is to let the world know that there is a grand scheme to rig the chairmanship election in the convention in favour of Agbaje”, the source said.

However, Governors Wike and Fayose had denied the allegation, on Tuesday, saying they would not be a party to any attempt to thwart the democratic process.

Are their childre tired of bombing the pipelines?

Ibrahim1975:
With all the due respect laddies and gentlemen, PDP has no candidate for the Edo State upcoming election.

Xano:
Interesting.

With all due respect sir, INEC don't recognize primaries it did not monitor(or supervise). The electorate who vote on the election day, would vote an individual, Mr. Ize-iyamu.
On the election day, in the ballot paper, it is Mr. Ize-iyamu's name(PDP) which is there among other candidates.

2dugged:
if Ize Iyamu should go to another party today, I will vote him, so if Mathew thinks it about the party, he should think again, Nigerians are wiser, it's about the individual

If African countries can have 10 or you each, the next decade will be great for us.

handie:
Even if Osagie Ize Iyamu eventually wins, there'll be a whole lot of legal wrangles and with our law courts talking from both sides of their mouth, he might just end up losing the governorship seat. Why do I have d feeling Sheriff was just planted by the APC to frustrate every PDP move? Remember that shortly before his election/selection/nomination as PDP chairman, there were stories about him returning to the APC. Why has he refused to engage in any peace talk? Take it or leave it, the APC currently has d best political brains in d country and using every avenue possible to frustrate a PDP rebirth is not beyond their capabilities.

If PDP is noht careful.....

Obaseki will qo unopposed.....and PDP loses at both ends

The candidate of Ali Modu Sheriff-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the Edo governorship election, Matthew Iduoriyekemwen, has expressed happiness that Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, who is the flag bearer of the Ahmed Makarfi-faction of the party, is indirectly campaigning for him.
He based his position on the court ruling which favoured the Sheriff-led group of the party, restating his preparedness to flag off his campaigns next week, insisting that he remains the authentic candidate of the PDP for the September 10 election in the state and not Ize-Iyamu.

Iduoriyekemwen, however, carpeted the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for committing what he called “a serious blunder last time,” saying: “But I am happy they have no choice now than to give me what belongs to me after the Federal High Court ruling last week which recognised Modu Sheriff as the authentic chairman of the PDP.”


According to him, “Ize-Iyamu has been campaigning for me; that is good after all we are all PDP members. So, I am urging all Edo people to come out on September 10 to vote PDP, with me as the candidate of the party so recognised by law.

“It is clear the Ali Modu Sheriff leadership of the party has remained and recognised by law. There is no place in the PDP constitution for a caretaker committee.”

Iduoriyekemwen explained that the court ruling made it clear that anything arising from the Port Harcourt convention or the Makarfi committee is a nullity. He urged the Edo people to remain resolute in their support for him, promising that he will run an all-inclusive government.

bejeiodus:
He is a first term senator with no legislative experience at that level. So, how does he intend to pull the magic? Besides, Ekweremandu can't leave that seat without the removal of Saraki. Their positions are intertwined. It will make an interesting view how the whole affair will play out.
