tonididdy: MY CONCLUSION ABOUT TODAYS ELECTION

oshiomole did not interfere in todays election JUST as jonathan never interferred with Edo governorship election.

EDSG provided funds to EDSIEC to conduct elections.but EDSIEC failed to deliver...reason:improper preperations

EDOpeople know who to vote for...we dont need our GOVT to show us the way anymore,we now walk side by side with him.we have embraced change in ACN

and not even pdp will stop us...


You are a very big foool if this is what you can say about such a shambolic display of incompetence by the governor. Such a very big fool. You think by your shameless sychophancy, you will get anywhere? Calling PDP in every sentence will not bail you out of this mess. It was not PDP that messed up. It was ACN. It was Oshiomole. Using PDP as an escape route will not work. Go and sort yourself out. You have failed woefully today. If ACN cannot handle their tiny states, how can they handle Nigeria? You are making a fool of yourself, honestly

Re: Edo State Local Government Election Update by Nobody: 1:49am On Apr 21, 2013
I live in Benin and I am short of words to describe what happened today. It was a monumental failure. PDP would have lost the election any way, but here it what I don’t understand, will a contender not be allowed to vote in the same election in which he or she is contesting?

Elections Materials arrived as late as 4pm in some places, while actual voting did not take place at all in a lot places. No matter how much you hate PDP, they are Nigerians and they must be allowed to at least vote for themselves.
Might be in an attempt to give them a killer punch, Osiobaba just shot himself in the foot. The election was a far cry from what Nigerians will expect from any ACN government, most especially that which is organized under Oshiomhole watch.

Please rush to nearest News stand in the morning if you have any doubt and I can assure you 100% that you will be shocked to the bone marrow what you will read about this election. Constructing roads and conducting free, fair and credible elections are not one and the same thing. If millions of Nigerians are told to choose only one out of the two, those who are wise will choose Credible Elections because a credible leader which can only be gotten through a credible election will not disappoint those who elected him.

As for this elections, dare to believe me, Oshiobaba and his crew are presently a threat to our nascent democracy when it comes to conducting elections.

[size=13pt]Slowly, gradually but surely the super glued scales on people's eyes will start to fall off little by little.
And lo and behold, it will become crystal clear that while PDP was bad the slick smooth serpents in the Association of Conmen in Nigeria are worse as they scam the people with reckless abandon.
[/size]

Ordinary LGA elections, the comrade governor cannot organise.
Yet he will be overzealous to plant flowers on a federal road and post signs claiming he has repaired it.
Some 419 repairs indeed.
Meanwhile many feeder roads that are the responsibility of Edo state and its LGAs are in a deplorable state.

What % of LGA elections held by the "democratic progressive opposition" states are won by other parties?
Did Tinubu's electoral panel not annul the fraudulent results of his Ikoyi LGA and award it to PDP's Obanikoro?
Were the results of Badagry LGA not changed at the point of announcement?


The good luck of the dimwits in ACN is that up till now PDP has been dominated by nitwit zombies of retired military and para military (police, customs etc). Will this change

A message to the PDP lapdogs.
Oshiomhole did not conduct the election, was never part of the election and as a responsible governor, He approved the needed funds for the election via the state house of assembly appropriation.

Whilst there is no reason for the state electoral commission not to have delivered, the good news for Nigerians is no rigging of candidates or fostering of candidates by Oshiomhole led government on the people.

Like a dogged fighter that He is, I know He will get to the root of why electoral materials were not distributed timely and be rest assured that those found wanting will face the music of law.

Finally, I am sorry to disappoint you no PDP candidate will win any LG chairmanship seat, not because of the persons running on the platform of PDP, no because we EDOS have drawn a line in the sand that just like God himself has drawn a line in the sand concerning good and evil, PDP will never govern Edo state again. And we took a vow that all those who support the return of PDP to power will forever retrogress in everything they do.

Why are we Nigerians so sentimental. Must we belong to pdp or action congress for us to say d truth. I thought acn would be d change we need but it's all clear that they are even a worse break out version of pdp. This election is a disgrace. Even students' electoral body would have done a better job. First of all, how can u go to the UK to print paper. Jamb, waec and d rest have been conducting exams for years and I've never heard of such a thing as going to print questions abroad. If they had contracted it to proffesionals in an undisclosed state and saved it in cbn, days or a week before, this rubbish would have been averted. How can u waste tax payers money to print papers in UK, not even a nearby country. Please tell me why some papers won't be unavailable when supervision was not done? Edsiec and its ogas should resign if they have any shame.conducting this exercise is clearly good logistics and they have failed. Any result read would be false and would clearly show all our leaders are hypocrites- pdp or acn. THERE WAS NO ELECTION.

So there should be no vibrant opposition at all levels (federal, state & LGA) EVEN ASSUMING the office holder is an angel?
So how do you keep the incumbent on his toes and ensure he thinks twice to ensure the priorities of the people are done always and at the optimal cost
No wonder our leaders take us for mugus.
I thought ACN prides itself as viable opposition to the PDP led federal administration!
Meanwhile we know how to queue up for visas of western countries where they have credible opposition that promotes better life for the masses.

Re: Edo State Local Government Election Update by tonididdy(m): 10:58am On Apr 21, 2013
@AMINI...it is not the duty of EDSGVT to conduct election BUT it is his duty to see to it that the funds,materials,safety and smooth running of the election to the state IEC...which the EDSGVT did flawlessly in areas of funding and safety.

the roblem is from the EDSIEC...the minister of works on state television said and i quote,"he preaches 1man 1vote and cannot even conduct a LG election,lets see how he will achieve that now"...SO I WONT BE SUPRISED THE EDSIEC was tamperred with.in otherwords this was politically screwed-up and motivated by the oppossing party.

if u remember clearly...oshiomole once blamed JEGA at the early house of the morning DURING EDSGVTSHIP elections for ALLEGED FRAUDERY
pls note:who did he blame?
he blamed jega NOT GEJ but jega. why?
cos GEJ wasnt responsible for elections,GEJ is to fund INEC

In Esan North East where I came from. Thugs were imported to Uromi from other states to disrupt d election. But kudos to the youth who rejected d unavailability of result sheets and tempering of electoral materials and hold siege to d electoral officers who were compromise by the State Govt to manipulate d election. Non ACN aspirants was acknowledge by the people. 97% of the LGA wants PDP so I would want the State Govt to comply with d peoples demand or else there will be serious crisis from the youth.

I believe this story, the only people clamoring for the return of PDP in the edo state are the people of ESAN land, and is for two simple reason, Because their son Prof. Osariemen Osunbor lost out out and also any Esan youth you meet and ask the reason for the hatred for the oshiomole govt. the only thing they tell you is he increased Ambrose alli uni. school fees, my friend, you need wake up, if you guys have better reason to discredit ACN / Adams govt. i wont have a problem with it but let it not because annenih wants to claim the state back which is the simple reason all esan hate the adams govt. right from the day he was sworn in, its a pitty our political system is still backward

SO increase in school fees is not a "better reason" to oppose the comrade governor who does not value education
This is a university that was built by the UPN governor Prof. Ambrose Alli with LESS budget per capita (budget/population) who also had free education with bursary awards to tertiary education students.

The ACN crooks are simply robbing Peter (the masses) to pay Paul (themselves).

And the ethnic and religious bigot, Ayatollah Buhari locked Alli and other UPN governors in jail after his coup of Dec. 1983 while keeping his fulani brother, Shagari under house arrest.
These are the people who want to replace PDP, right

In all the LGA especially in Esan, Esan North East to be preside where I stay, electoral materials were tempered with, result sheet where removed and the ballot papers that were suppose to be sealed were tore and you expect God to tell you that Edo State Govt was responsible for all these. Uromi personally followed up with the process becos the ACN candidates were all boasting that whether we vote or not that the election results has already been computed. Uromi was under fire yesterday if not for the intervention of PDP chieftains who calmed everywhere. I would advise the EDSEIC and the State Govt to follow due process in d schedule date of the postpone election so as not to cause war in Uromi and Ekpoma becos the people here are ready for the election anytime.

Some pics of the riot in Uromi town and some youth surrounding the police station where the electoral materials were kept demanding that the materials should be returned to EDSEIC till the complete materials are brought b4 voting can take place or else the station would be burnt.

It took hours b4 the electorate officer posted to Uromi postpone the election due to pressure from the ACN led govt from above that the election must hold without complete materials.

I plead to the State Govt to allow d peoples choice in Uromi in particular and Ekpoma so that peace can reign

So I will say it is the State Govt conniving with the Electoral officers and seizing some electoral material to destabilize the people so that there candidates will win
