Indeed. If Wike raise pesin hand too, the whole of SS must win.

See who you are comparing with Obi. Oshiomhole?

After raising hands, money go still change hands with "voters."

Please compare the both of them.
Oshiomhole legacies in Edo state still stands tall till today, about 10 years after leaving office. From roads to red roof schools, to construction of one of the best government hospital you can find in Nigeria (Edo Specialist hospital) to establishments of agencies like Edstma(Edo State traffic management agency), Edstwma(Edo State waste management agency), ECTS(Edo City transport Services), etc. Obi they craze for where Oshiomhole they?

There is no need fighting for these politicians or making enemies of ourselves because of them. In the end they care more about themselves more then they do for us. We just want a better Nigeria where we can return to and call home. It does not matter who makes it better but we should ask more of ourselves and always try to improve in our old ways of doing things.
Like it is commonly said...The earlier ...the better.

I'm a politician but I don't have time hating on anyone because the person doesn't support me or my candidates. Life is about choices. My best friend today is Igbo and an ardent Obi supporter, but do I care? No I don't. That's the problem I have with those supporting Obi, if you are not supporting their candidate, you have become less a human to their eyes.

tranxo:
Obi is always a party man, and that's what it should be. He is fully committed to any thing he focuses on.

So are his supporters. We focus solely on Peter Obi. Simple.

A party man that cannot raise someone's hand in an election and the person would win?
He canvassed the length and breath for Obaze against Obiano and Obaze lost, he did it in the last Anambra governorship election against Soludo, twice and Soludo won. He did it for Akpata against APC in Edo state and Akpata lost, now he has done it for Dr. Mo and as usual Mo has lost. If Oshiomhole raise your hand in an election in the whole of Edo North, you must win the 6 LGs that makes Edo North

You are changing the narrativs. My reason for wanting real time transmission has nothing to do with obi or tinubu. It is about the credibility of our election. A situation where one man will write a polling unit result to suite his party is not acceptable. It happened a lot in the whole of Nigeria during the last election. In the east we saw polling unit where only Obi got all the votes even where you have pDp and APC agents. Same thing happened ito favour tinubu in the west.
Writing result will reduce when we use real time transmission. It will also help court cases if it goes to election tribunal.

Life is all about time and processes. With time, we will get to that level as a nation but for now let's not try to do more than our abilities and capabilities.
You spoke well my brother 🤝

Gab1976:
Who is a stranger please

Is Tinubu not a stranger to the SE? Or him don become una brother because of Onitsha seaport?
Even gelegele in Edo State will operate a seaport before any SE state

Yes..it can be hacked but so are your email and other internet related activities.
Does that stop you from using email services and the internet all together?
in your opinion...tlis this current manual method of transmission better?
This your last response is a complete disappointment because of your choice of words. Not every one leaves in a face me like you mentioned. There was no need for that.

Bvas already handles electronic transmission while in places where there are no network, manual transmission will solve it... This is the best way. Anything other than this is just been reactive emotionally.

. Weather obi wins or not is not the reason. For the fact that it will reduce result writing and some form of election malpractice..I think that is a major reason why it should be canvassed for. At least it will more closely reflect the votes of the people. Moreover, the world over is ditching manual method of doing things . It is better we start now and correct the flaws as they arises. It will make our electoral process more trustworthy and strengthen our democracy.
I personally don't believe in this my brother , my vote thing you are supporting. This is why we are not getting it right in this country.
I am an edo man but if I believe an esan man will do a better job. He will get my vote. It played out during the oshiomole governorship election in edo state. We should learn to see beyond this your type of politics.

What Tinubu has done for Edo state in just 3 years, Goodluck from same S/S and ND didn't do it for Edo for 6 years + as president and I can make bold to say Obi won't do it for Edo State even if he rules Nigeria for 20 years. Let Obi rule Nigeria, that's when you will know that the Igbos are far more tribalistic than every other tribes. Obi showed a glimpse of it recently when out of 6 Nigerians that played in a recent American Football, he only singled out the 3 that are Igbos for praises. As at today in Edo State, Tinubu is constructing all federal roads , while the governor is doing same with state roads. Not even my political mentor, Oshiomhole enjoyed such from the FG when he was governor. And you are saying I shouldn't support same Tinubu over Obi that I'm not sure if he has anything to offer Edo state?
Finally, this same APC has given Edo State 2 former national chairmen and under the disastrous Buhari regime, Edo state had 2 federal ministers at a time.

Una go just they inside una face me I face you, they conclude on behalf of the whole world. Where the world over?
Haven't you heard even Elon Musk advising against such electronic patterns in US election? According to him it can easily be hacked. This is someone that owns a spaceship 🚀, and you are here saying the world over

If they post his achievements for you , your brain won't be able to process it as your only yardstick for success in governance is stomach infrastructure and subsidy , that's why no right thinking person bothers to show you his glaring achievements in all areas .

It is possible that there was no MTn network at the place. I am sure they do POs business there. They must be using other network. Most villages don't have all the networks available to them. It is not possible for Ekiadolaor to have no Network at all. I use to visit that place a lot when the college was still functional.

MTN is much stronger in most places in Edo State. If MTN network is bad, others would be worse.
That said, I will really like to know why some of you guys, if you are one of them, thinks real time transmission of results would translate to Obi winning Tinubu?
I'm from Esan and no Esan person based in Edo state would leave who our brother supports and vote an Obi. Same way no Auchi person would leave who Oshiomhole support and vote Obi. I'm very sure same thing applies to Akpabio, Barau, Yayi, Opeyemi Bamidele, etc. so make una they calm down

dequir:
You are the one that needs to go back to school. The correct sentence is "Tinubu that you insults" because he is always insulting Tinubu on many threads.

You nor see say I nor reply am again?
He always "insults" Tinubu, so he was expecting me to have used a singular "insult"

Focusmind:
Most "analysts" here, residing in Abuja, did not go out to vote, but are eager to know the outcome of the election.

Majority are supporting the ADC but they would not come out to vote.

The streets that votes, have nothing to loose. This is the reason why they would gladly collect N1K and cast their votes to the highest bidder and go back home unconcerned.

You that the outcome would affect would be in your living room, wishing that your candidate should win.

The only video we have seen of vote buying in this election in the whole of Abuja is from an ADC unit agent.

aswani:
Sorry to say you are wrong on this, look at the gubernatorial results last year where only Ndigbo traders from Mission road voted LP in Edo state after Peter Obi came to campaign for Akpata.

APC are clearing North, 90%, Central 80% and South 85%.

Whatver party Peter Obi is in will not poll up to 10% in Edo state.

Akpakomiracle is doing too much in Edo state for Peter Obi or Atiku to get anything.

I had to give them hope.
They do not know that in Edo state as at today, there is nothing like an opposition party. We are operating a one party state right now and that party is APC.

AMINDA:
PDP will win in Kuje because the Chairman is very popular and he refused to decamp despite Wike's pressure. The ADC is currently doing well in AMAC. If APC fails to win, the Chairman, Maikalangu and his indigenes will not be happy with Wike because he forced them to decamp to an unpopular party.

Which party is an unpopular party?
In all of your assertion, which one will ADC win despite Obi, Atiku, El Rufai, etc campaigning for the ADC?
Last, Na when Wike support the PDP chairman in kuje if PDP win, Naim the chairman go perform

franchasng:
No you are wrong.


Peter Obi's father was a wealthy man.


His mother too was rich through her own personal trading business.


Obi was born into wealthy family and he built on it.


Tinubu was adopted by Madam Abibatu, which is not a crime, but he was from a wretched background before Madame Tinubu adopted him.


Tinubu's source of wealth is questionable and it only ballooned after he became Lagos state Governor in 1999, so Peter Obi and Tinubu are never in the same league.

Peter Obi is from the noble class while Tinubu came from the hood which is not also a crime but it's unfortunate that despite coming from the hood, Tinubu refused to show empathy for the weak, the poor and the helpless in Nigeria through his anti-people policies and careless actions

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Someone that was already a senator and one of the major financial of Abiola presidential election in 1993, Naim you say made his money after becoming a governor in 1999?
A man that was the financial of Nadeco and was already housing Nadeco members in UK during Abacha regime, Naim make him money from 1999?

keemsleek:
Go to obagie or how do they spell it. U will cry. I spent like a year there. It was die. Benin is ok even Alaba here in lag. Network na die. If nigeria can sign agreement with starlinks, if that will be accepted it will be +1, but you see this nigeria telsco dey can lie. Shey na glo wey no dey glo or airtel that you will only see signal at light.

Yeah, it's obagie.
Even for town for Benin city, there are some houses you will rent, you will regret because of network.

franchasng:
You have a point but like I said earlier, in Nigeria, there is a sad culture of neglecting every other election in Nigeria outside Presidential and Governorship elections.



It's like a culture.


Nigerians don't take LGA election serious, only staunch party loyalists take it serious.


Another demoralizing thing is the Senate refusal to make transmission of polling unit election result compulsory, it really demoralized many Nigerian youths who now believe that APC/Tinubu will rig the election via manual collation.

I'm not in or against the transmission of election results but truly, even you will agree with me that not all villages can boast of network 🛜 in this country.
I was at Ekiadolor yesterday for a wedding celebration and for the over 5 hours that I spent at the wedding, not even my mtn hard network. Imagine yesterday was an election day, what would have the INEC ad-hoc staff do?
Even at Okomu oil axis in the same Edo state, most times workers gat to go uphill to access the network

ddippset:
Someone who can feed your father, your mother and your entire generation,,, you are calling him demented?!!!!

😂😂😂😂😂😂

The Tinubu that you insults, can't he feed your father, mother and generation yet unborn? Infact can't he feed Obi's father, mother and generation?

Mrfixitt:
Without rigging Tinubu won't win a single state in 2027

Naso, in 2027 I can beat my chest and tell you that in Edo State, Tinubu will win in Edo North (Oshiomhole) and in Edo Central (Okpebholo) with atleast 70%. Obi can only have 50% in Edo South because of the non indigenes. But if ADC gives the ticket to Atiku, in the whole Edo State, Atiku won't score upto 25%

SalamRushdie:
President Tinubu must make changes in the ministry of power now as those incharge there are completely lost in what to do ..How can Nigeria be suffering so much poor electricity in 2026

I believe it's because Tinubu is still projecting adelabu as the APC governorship candidate in Oyo in 2027, that's why he hasn't sacked him because sacking him will affect his future chances. That adelabu is a disaster. Even though Wike is not an engineer, give him that ministry and see wonders happen

You go sell for 4m?

SmartPolician:
Why are they overwhelming the major telcos? Look for smaller companies to provide such services at the airport and encourage major telcos to cover rural communities so that APC won't have a reason to rig 2027 election results

And it's same people like you that will come online to complain if the network is slow because it was given to a smaller company with no infrastructure for such.
Also, if it was given to a slower company, you guys would say it was given to a cronies when there are bigger companies for such a job.
You guys are wired to always complain over everything

Stop showing your ignorance.
All the bad axis before Iruekpen junction to school gate to opoji junction has been turned to a super highway with side drainages, etc and work is still ongoing

ogaemma:
I will blame Oshiomole.
When Oshiomole won in the court, the people of Ekpoma Celebrated his Victory more than any part of Edo State, many believed Oshiomole will do everything possible to make sure the Ekpoma was fixed before he will leave office.
Because is the same road that leads to his home town.
But Oshiomole failed them.
He came dancing and left them dancing without fixing the road.

You are far from the truth, yes, the whole of Edo celebrated the coming of Oshiomhole and even also wholeheartedly supported and voted him in his 2nd term election but you see this particular road? Firstly it was not as bad during the tenure of Oshiomhole (Oshiomhole left in 2016...that's 10years ago) and when Oshiomhole was governor, Goodluck was president and Onolememhen was works minister. Because of what happened with the construction of Benin /Lagos expressway between Edo state government and the FG then, the FG under Goodluck stopped Oshiomhole from intervening in this particular road.

Let me educate you about this road as an Edolite, an APC politician and an insider. This particular road, same with the Benin/Sapele road is currently being funded and supervised by the Edo State government with an agreement that the state government will be refunded by the FG after completion. It's the Benin/Asaba expressway that the FG is funding and overseeing

Oh! Never seen that in the news?

No NURTW in Edo State?😳😳😳😳

Someone needs to confirm this news!

Oga I reside and also an indigene of Edo state.
Collection of tickets for bus drivers, taxi and even in all markets has been banned in Edo state for over 3 months now.

HacheNoire:
NURTW

That’s the only legal cult in Nigeria.

35 state governors and none can declare this hoodlums as terrorist. It tells you how POWERFUL they are.

I always have problems with people that sit at the comfort of their homes and start assuming.
NURTW and other drivers bodies are currently not operating in Edo State because the governor banned all of them and nothing has happened. All their leaders including Kabaka, Normoless, Shaba, Ebostone and Odion Olaye are currently complaining
