Jesusloveyou:
has obaseki done 10% of oshomole achievement,
true or false.

Please, I stay in Benin City, can you come show me Oshiomole achievement in Edo State? Let do a tour of Edo State.
Almost all Oshiomole works were all substandard, they are no where to be found.
Come take this challenge.
Where is the #30B he borrowed from world bank for erosion control, are we not still suffering from flood? Can you afford the hospital and school Oshiomole build? How much is AAU school fees now, who increased it?
Oshiomole, Obaseki, Tony Kabaka, Ize Iyamu and you, una be scammers. Among these scammers, Obaseki is the less scammer.
I hope d small money Dem give you to post rubbish go last for you.

JAOS:
stingy man

If you were the governor, will you handover to him?

Dmano:
You don't know what you are talking about,the case is not the same here,Uche Nwusu actually bought a form of APC participated in the primary and won,he was substituted by the party for Hope,and he then went and participated in AA and won also,so he became a candidate in two party in one election,you are only a candidate of a party when you won a primary and not when you buy form,you are just an aspirant. Take note

God bless you.
Op and his Co are ignorant. He was paid to do this yeye post to deceive those who don't understand the law.
This trend is declare died.

inereunwa1:
yes o bro this politicians are greedy sets of people!!

All politicians are greedy, don't take side.

Have read almost all the posts here, I can't see majority of the posters are not from Edo State nor reside in Edo State. If you have participated in Edo State Election before now, you will understand.
Let me educate those who don't understand
Federal might or incumbency always play a minus role in the outcome of any Edo State Election. Bring all the money and give it to the electorates, majority will still vote according to their choice ( irrespective of the campaigns, majority have known who they are voting for), it's only a significant few that will vote for money and these few are in the rural areas. PDP was the party that started giving money to electorates on election venues during Oshiomole second term election. Oshiomole and APC didn't share anything but he won with a landslide victory, Subsequently, APC became master in it during 2019 election.
These are the following things that decide Edo State Election results
1) Performance and past records
2) Godfatherism- Majority of Edoites hate godfatherism.
3) The zone the candidates came from, that's why both candidates are from Edo South.
4) The party ( APC is not loved in Edo State), Obaseki and Oshiomole was the influence in APC but what Oshiomole did had made people to hate him as well as APC.
5) Achievement of the Party at the federal level, I can say Buhari government have not done anything in Edo State. This is a big factor.
6) Votes from riverine areas, that's where rigging takes place.

MabraO:
Since you know so much tell us where u think a fly over should be sited in Benin since fly over is what makes a state developed

You are wise.
All some people know to do here is to buy data and start talking rubbish.

Binikingdowm:
This question is directed at non Edo people and people that doesn't live in Edo state..

Do you want someone like obaseki to govern your state? Remember Edo state is among the state receiving one of the largest allocations and 13% oil money.

Remember obaseki achievements is celebrating painting of Secretariat and stadium buildings.

Will you like someone like that to govern your state??

You are very jobless Mr op.

quickberry:
Chairmen/Commissioners/Special Advisers are the ones who will mobilise party agents and canvassers on election day. You don't know anything about Nigerian elections. Must I be a voter in Edo to know that?

September 19 is around the corner, don't come here to shout rigging.

Na non Edoites carry this matter for head ooo.
I started monitoring politics of Edo State for years, I know what I'm talking about. It is the party that mobilize party agents, canvassers on election day.

quickberry:
You don't know anything about politics. These are the people that would do the real work on election day. Are you saying the governor would be everywhere at the same time on the election day?

They are the party agents?
Politicians nor dey lose for their unit and ward?
Just be patient and see what will play out.
Do you even have PVC to vote in Edo State Election?

Collins9156:
You correct bra, I just scrolled his previous posts and found out his position.

He's scared of Wike

Every persons here against Wike and op are all APC apologist. They have been against Obaseki forgetting PVC is the voice to decide and not online ranting. I have my PVC to vote, can they show theirs?

tesppidd:
Wike that could not even deliver Atiku as flag bearer of his own party.

Wike that could not even deliver his man as Minority leader of the House of Reps.

I wonder why people overrate Wike like this.

Just because Rivers state is 75 percent a PDP state?

What is now your business with PDP, you APC apologist.
APC e-boys, make una take over. The real work is on the field and not online ranting.

op, you are just creating foolish posts.
Edoites knows who they will vote for, majority of them are not even here to read your yeye post.

TheGodlessGod:
you're typing like how ipob usually do about nigerian politics, everything isn't that simple.

For example, isn't oshiomole the one that brought obaseki out?? Everyone know ize iyamu don't need a good father because he successfully delivered Edo state to PDP for years and has been trying to be governor since early 2000.

I've pictures of obaseki doing cultist handshakes and was even talked about it here on nairaland, Google it, that kind of nonsense don't usually work, ask wike.

As for words oshiomole said, there are also videos of PDP people saying bad things against obaseki, only a fool don't know it's politics.

In all honesty those things don't matter when it comes to election, what matter is how powerful are you and what has you done??.

The truth is the state power might rest on obaseki hands, ize iyamu has federal backing and you know how nigeria politics is, you'll be surprised seeing army and DSS on that day.

Secondly is do obaseki has the people support?? That I doubt because I hear bad things about him, roads are flooded,light situation is worse, potholes everywhere.

Benin is going backward, no infrastructures on ground and youth employment is zero, you see how obaseki took away what the youths used to feed(ticket collecting) without employing any of them.

Unlike oshiomole when contesting second term, obaseki don't have Edo support, he only has the ones that will see food under him support.

You know federal might has never worked in Edo state.
With all what you have said, let's rest our case and wait for September 19. It's less than 3months.
I hope you have your PVC to vote? not that you have a PVC of Ikpoba okha but you will be in Egor on the day of election.

TheGodlessGod:
Edo south. Ovbie Edo kpataki

You are from Edo South and you talk like someone who don't even understand Edo politics. I'm not a member of APC nor PDP, have been to majority of the places in Edo South, I can confidently tell you that Governor Obaseki is having a big edge over Ize Iyamu. People talked good of the Governor. Firstly, the videos of what Oshiomole said against Ize Iyamu is going to work against him, you know what Oshiomole said four years ago is still in the mind of Edoites. Secondly, Godfatherism, majority of Edoites hate and don't want to hear anything like godfather, that was the antics Oshiomole used to win the heart of Edoites and that's why he won 18/18 during his second term election. Now, people are seeing him as someone who wants to make himself a godfather in Edo State. Edoites are not happy with him in addition to what he did to Obaseki during APC nomination. He said that he is the supreme Court to decide who will be cleared in APC, it will work against him. Thirdly, Governor Obaseki will get sympathy votes. Don't also forget, APC is not popular in Edo State, go see the voting pattern and you will understand. Fourthly, there are voters in Edo who vote for candidate and not parties, Obaseki will have an advantage because Ize Iyamu have agreed he was once a cultist, you know how Edoites hate cultism, they know a cultist is always a cultist.
Workers, Market men and women, bus drivers will vote for Obaseki because of the reform. Majority of Edoites also believe that Ize Iyamu will bring back Tony Kabaka to continue is ticketing which we know will also work against Ize Iyamu. I know Tony Kabaka has thugs in his pocket but it will not work this time. Everything Tony Kabaka said against the governor will also work against Ize Iyamu, you know all what he was saying was out of selfish interest which Edoites knows. Tony Kabaka who is a thug celebrated Billion Naira because Oshiomole made him alone to collect all the ticketing in Edo State, Majority of Edoites are not happy with this.
Stop be sentimental and face reality. No matter the rigging and federal might, PDP still have the advantage.

TheGodlessGod:
who's in PDP that can deliver is senatorial district to obaseki

Politics is local my dear

Who are the senators of Edo South and central?
You know the influence of Senator Matthew in Edo South? Are you telling me Edo Central will vote APC? According to political calculation, Edo Central will support Governor Obaseki so that after Obaseki four years, the position can return to them. Before now, Edo Central is PDP.
Don't forget, there are people who will not decamp to PDP but they will vote and support PDP. Just be patient and watch what will play out. You talk like someone who don't understand Edo politics.

TheGodlessGod:
I would love for my state to be like Lagos.

Aren't you ashamed? Post a beautiful picture of Edo state and you'll see it's oshiomole achievement.

4 years of been a governor what has he done??

You see how akwa ibom, kaduna has over taken Edo state??.

Ebonyi Is coming soon.

As big as Edo state no single flyover, no estate. Nothing nothing

SSAs are of no value in the politics of any state, it's a position for political settlement. You are rejoicing for this, Don't forget, some of those SSAs where nominated by some APC members who are against the governor, you can't expect them to start supporting the governor to act against their political fathers. Obaseki knows who is on his side and those against him, he is not going to loose any sleep.
op and you talk as if you are not politically sound.

pharmagba:
I am sure you are not a lawyer
But any one with depth and insight will not believe this write up, without any other name other than Ize- iyamu and Tinubu
Call the other people that are making the statement so we can actually verify

He has openly confessed he was once a cultist.
The day he decamped from PDP to APC, the gun shots were falling like rain close to his house were he decamped. If you were in ringroad, sapele road, airport, beginning of siluko road, you would have hear the sounds that day.
Go help Edo State.

Life is a mystery. This should be the singular reason why will should live our life to pleases our maker and as well as affect the lives around us positively.
Rest in Peace.

kestor:
To put you out of your misery, what makes you think he doesn't (at this time) have his HSC certificate in his possession now, like he later did with his UI certficate (which has been authenticated by his alma mata) just like NYSC has corrected his name?. You think you're smater than him or the party that accepted the documents after the initial controversy thrown up by APC?
My only worry is that he could have avoided the embarrassment altogether, it's something you and I should learn from.
Sort out any discrepancy before aspiring for any office.

Your two last statement is a wonderful lessons for everyone to learn from Governor Obaseki scenerio, I think why he relaxed about it is, he thought he will not use them. Oshiomole got the small loopholes and use it against him. Thank God for him, UI have come to say he graduated from their school. Before UI can give admission, one must have meet up with the requirements and don't think UI can bend the rules for anyone. Don't forget, UI is federal government controlled institution. NYSC have come up to issue the corrected certificate and NYSC is also federal government controlled institution, I don't blame the governor for the NYSC certificate issue because everyone all know how is almost impossible to correct name on NYSC certificate if you are not connected or in government position.
To me, he has all his certificates genuine, is just that some persons don't want to accept it because it will affect their interest later. Let see what will play out in the coming days.
I think with information bill that was passed into law, anyone can apply to UI to ascertain if the governor met the requirements to be admitted as student. Going to court is just an antics to distract the Governor.
My PVC is ready for September 19.

MsAllison:
I wonder if Oshiomole and his NWC will grace the rally

just thinking

Please contribute maturely
any irrelevant comments will attract the sanctions of the mods

thanks

Tony Kabaka.
What will Oshiomole say at the rally or campaign?
Let's us all watch, the time is not too far again.

seunmsg:
Rubbish OP. I will advice your sponsor to go and prepare for the general election. Osagie Ize-Iyamu is the candidate of APC and there is nothing your paymaster can do about it.

In addition, tell Obaseki to prepare to defend his candidature in court. He was not validly nominated by PDP because he did not obtain the party’s nomination form and participate in the screening within the timeframe stipulated by the party.

Again, he already bought the form of APC and therefore participated in the nomination process of APC. As a result, he cannot validly participate in the nomination process of another party. The Supreme Court already ruled on this matter in the case of Uche Nwosu of AA. The court invalidated the candidacy of Nwosu because he had participated in the nomination process of APC for the same election. Obaseki will suffer a similar fate.

Thank you so much for the insult.
To correct some of the wrongs you wrote, nobody paid me to post this and no amount of money can make me post this. My integrity is intact and I prefer in more than gold and diamond. Though I'm not rich now but I can be rich tomorrow and not my any wrong means. Go check all my post, they are all base on facts.
I will advice we should wait to observe what will happen between now and September 19. I want a healthy competitive election and the majority of Edoites should be allow to decide where the pendulum goes.
Take care and stop insulting someone who might be your elder in all ramifications.
Take care.

Edo 2020: WHY INEC MUST NOT ACCEPT OSAGIE IZE-IYAMU AS APC GUBER CANDIDATE.

By Fred Latimore Esq.

As it is today there is no duly elected National Chairman and Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as required by the Electoral Law to submit the name of the governorship candidate in Edo State, to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, as a result of the dissolution of the party's National Executive Committee, NEC, wherein principal officers including the National Chairman and the Secretary were sacked and subsequently stripped off of their administrative functions and powers.

The question is "Can a caretaker Committee Chairman and Secretary that were not duly elected at the APC convention perform the duties required in the Electoral Law, especially submission of governorship candidate for election in Edo State? This question is obviously begging for an answer.

It is important for INEC to painstakingly check her powers in this regard and decide whether or not it is within the commission's assigned lawful responsibilities to accept Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu's name from a Caretaker Committee Chairman, as APC candidate for the September 2020 governorship election in Edo State, without bending to pressures from powerful individuals and the so called federal might. INEC must not bow to illegality as a result of federal might pressures.

The second legal lacuna which INEC must resolve is; whether or not the fragrant disobedience to lawful court orders appointing Chief Victor Giadom as Acting National Chairman of APC, by the illegal Hilliard Etta/Ajumobi's Acting National Chairman cabal, that constituted the adhoc committee which conducted Edo APC Party primaries on June 22; can be cured or panel bited by a mere ratification, bearing in mind that the judgment of the Court of Appeal that quashed Adams Oshiomhole's Appeal was operational and potent as at the time Edo governorship primaries was conducted. It was crystal clear that contempt of Court played out and this is a grave violation which ratification can neither remedy nor cure, in the instant case.

In my considered legal opinion, It is absolutely impossible for the APC NEC to ratify the order of a court of competent jurisdiction in the sense that immediately the Court of Appeal quashed Adams Oshiomole's appeal against the decision of the Court below which appointed Victor Giadom as Acting National Chairman, the lower court judgment became operational automatically, thereby restoring Giadom's status as Acting National Chairman of APC. It was on the strength of this legal reality that President Mohammadu Buhari, recognised Giadom leadership as Acting National Chairman as can be seen from the meeting held at the Council Chambers in the Presidency on June 26, 2020 chaired by Giadom and authenticated by Mr President.

The legal implication of Mr President's decision to recognise Giadom is that all the parties activities, actions and inactions as well as the decisions taken and those implemented by the Etta/Ajumobi's faction against Giadom's leadership simply amounts to crude disobedience to superior court order; the Court of Appeal which validated the decision of the lower court restoring Giadom's position as Acting National Chairman of APC. Contempt of Court activated and must be unravelled in the temple of justice, anytime soon by interested parties with locus standi.

It follows that an action taken, orders given and adhoc committee constituted by the Etta/Ajumobi's faction goes to no issue. All actions and inactions were in continuation of illegality, fragrant disobedience to lawful court orders that cannot be ratified by a lesser APC NEC. If INEC accept a governorship candidate who emerged from an illegal process authorised by an unrecognized Acting National Chairman, it simply connotes that the APC ratification is superior to lawful court orders or Court judgments that were not vacated before the APC controversial ratification alien to law.

Therefore, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu cannot be recognised by INEC as Edo APC candidate, simply because he is a product of illegality cum disobedience to valid court judgments/orders. INEC must resolve these legal lacunas before rejecting or accepting Ize-Iyamu, otherwise her integrity shall be tested in the Court of Law, sooner than later.

The third lacuna for considerstion is; Giadom as the lawful Acting National Chairman declared on National Television and may have also written to INEC that Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu is not recognised by APC national leadership as Edo APC candidate, for the fact that those who constituted the adhoc committee that appointed Governor Hope Uzodima as Chairman of the Edo primaries were not recognised and as such all of that governorship primaries exercise went down the drains as a fraudulent act, null and void and of no effect whatsoever.

The legal potholes in the above laughable APC Edo governorship primaries scenario is that Governor Hope Uzodina's assignment was exercise in futility, it never happed in the eyes of the law and therefore cannot be ratified by either Mr President or a congregation of APC leaders in a political jamboree, without first vacating the court judgment/orders.

The APC ought to have approached a court of competent jurisdiction, to among other prayers seek and obtain order of ratification, if possible, to cure multifaceted illegalities, fragrant disobedience to lawful court orders; and not to ratify the candidature of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, who obviously was a product of fragrant disobedience to lawful court orders by certain overzealous politicians who felt they were more powerful and greater than the Court of Justice and custodians of our legal jurisprudence.

No body, no political party and political leaders that is above the Law and cannot therefore knowingly ignore valid Court judgments handed down by Courts of competent jurisdiction. If this happened as can be seen in the instant case of APC, the sanctions must be activated and those involved cannot benefit from their wrongdoing including the APC and Mr President.

The Hope Uzodima's illegal APC governorship primaries in Edo State, is more or less a dead baby which a mere ratification cannot revive or bring back to life. It's dead and buried and INEC cannot soil her fingers by recognising Osagie Ize-Iyamu as Edo APC governorship candidate in this dispensation.

It is my considered legal opinion that APC as a party cannot benefit from her fragrant disobedience to Court orders/judgments by ratifying an action or process that undermined the powers of our Courts. INEC cannot accept the Edo APC candidate because of the legal lacunas raised above and I stand to be corrected.

As it is today, Edo APC does not have a lawful or authentic governorship candidate standing for the September election. Certainly, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu's name cannot appear in the governorship election ballot papers for the September election in Edo State.

The fear of EFCC. Buhari said he will deal with anyone who take APC to court. Nor thief ooo make buhari nor threaten you.

Kindledlight:
You are mixing up everything,just try educate yourself and discover all what you said is wrong .

A letter against the conduct of APC primary was send to INEC by the legal acting chairman of the party and that letter have not been recall till now from INEC. What Victor Giadom did was stands according to law as at that time. Don't you think this will have legal implications later?
I want to see a full contest in Edo State. I wish any legal practitioner is here to educate us on this point.

Kindledlight:
Ku i

Its all politics,PDP also insulted Obaseki saying he didn’t do anything for 4years,Who would have thought they will give him the party ticket on a plater of gold?

Can you show us a prove where PDP insulted the Governor before now?

Anyone taking Samson Osagie serious should do a rethink. Someone that was in government for 12years without any form of achievement. He is from my Local government, I know him very well. He is the master of political lies.
Samson Osagie, Tony Kabaka, Henry idiagbon etc are all disadvantages to Ize Iyamu. He bleeped up for associating himself with them.
No more state money for you for the next 4years in Edo State, carry your face and problem go Abuja.

jasent:
OK we hear you.So since he achieved all this why did Oshiomole refused yo give him any board appointment, despite the fact that he campaigned for Osho?if you can answer this question I will shift my support from Godwin to Iyamu.

He will never respond to this.

Ehinmen3:
you and your unproductive comments

Can you book for a debate in any of the TV station? Let's meet face to face to talk politics in Edo State. I'm not a politician but I'm not politically dull. Have been following Edo politics for years, you can't deceive me with your bought conscience.

ORIENTATION101:
E don use Una money buy PDP ticket for September 19.
I hope civil servants money no dey among over 6billions he has been sharing to Tax collectors in PDP

Don't play politics with this, the money have been released by the government but some top persons in the HMB sat on it. I know some of those persons that protested, why did they not go to government house to protest?
I'm a Medical Laboratory Scientist in Benin City, I know and have heard what is playing out before now. Before you blame the governor because of politics, do investigations. Those rushing here to comments are those castigating the governor in other trends and as well as create topics to castigate him.
In a given government, there must be those who are there to hack the process to favour their personal interest.
I think it will be resolve soonest.
