Nnpc bought dangote fuel at #746 . If you do 15% of 898, U will get #134. Take away #134 from #898, it gives #746. Now nnpc is currently making fuel been sold at #1100. I hate nnpc with every bone of my being

How can U call a man who won senate election relatively unknown. That man is a grassroot politician

Winners and Losers of Edo 2024 Governorship Elections

WINNERS

(1) Monday Okebholo: relatively unknown, somewhat demure and allegedly uncharismatic, he beat all odds and attacks over his alleged inability to speak English to take his message to the grassroots without a single media interview apart from a 9 minute interview he granted to Helen Oyibo of BBC.

(2) Osagie Ize-Iyamu: he was one of the earliest supporters of Monday Okpebholo and had stepped down from the race.

(3) Legacy PDP: they had felt sidelined by Obaseki and rightfully might have worked against their own party.

(4) Nyesom Wike: Governor Obaseki had publicly maliciously announced that Nyesom Wike would contest the PDP 2023 presidential ticket, and added a threat, "we shall see". Obaseki had also taken out an advert to lambast Nyesom Wike after Wike had called on the PDP to discipline Philip Shaibu when Shaibu had threatened to leave the party because Shaibu felt the new PDP members were not integrated into the party. Wike had sarcastically asked Shaibu: "who is his father?"

In the advert Obaseki took to blast Wike, he said Edo State did not accept political bullies and overlords. When crises began in Edo PDP towards the 2024 Edo elections, Obaseki had clandestinely accused Wike and Dan Orbih of legacy PDP of supporting Shaibu to destablize Edo PDP. When Obaseki made overtures for reconciliation with Wike, Wike had told Obaseki he could not support Obaseki's candidate as Obaseki was not known to be loyal to those who had supported him in the past.

(5) Adams Oshiomole: against advise, Adams Oshiomole foisted Obaseki on his team as his potential successor. Obaseki was Oshiomole's bestman during his wedding to the Cape verdian model. WIthin two years, Obaseki started fighting Oshiomole, who is also a fighter. The genesis of their fight was Obaseki feeling powerless as chief executive of Edo state and Oshiomole controlling the strings, especially federal appoinbtments. Adams Oshiomole used his position as party chairman to deny Obaseki the APC ticket. Obaseki decamped to PDP along with Philip Shaibu. The PDP insisted Obaseki dropped Shaibu and allow them nominate a deputy to which Obaseki responded that if he didn't run with his deputy, they could keep their ticket. He was allosed to run with Shaibu and with the support of Nyesom Wike, other Niger Delta Governos and the governor’s forum, he won the election. The APC Governors felt Adams Oshiomole was being too powerful as he almost humiliated their colleague, and this was one of the reasons they engineered his removal as APC national chairman. After the defeat, Adams Oshiomole licked his wounds and resurfaced against Obaseki in 2024 by taking a prominent role in Monday Okpebholo's campaign, despite not supporting Okpebholo before the primaries.

Oshomole'd surely be smiling now that he has his pound of flesh against Obaseki.

(6) Philip Shaibu: He was hurriedly impeached by the Edo State House of Assembly and his replacement was announced and sworn in without due process. During his crises with Governor Obaseki intigated by Philip Shaibu's decision to contest as Obaseki’s successor, Obaseki chased him out of his office within government house premises and bulldozed the fence of his residence. Obaseki also publicly rebuffed Shaibu's advances in public twice. Shaibu went to court to challenge his impeachment and the court established that due process was not followed. With Shaibu’s reinstatement, he decamped to the APC and worked against the PDP candidate, perceived to be Obaseki’s pointman. Shaibu was seen in a video celebrating along with APC party stalwarts and attended theur campaign.

(7) 16 members of Edo State House of Assembly: they were denied taking their seats by Governor Obaseki over their alleged loyalty to Obaseki's political foe, Adams Oshiomole. They'd be smiling that Obaseki’s candidate was defeated.

(8 ) APC National Chairman/APC: On 29th August, 2024, Umar Ganduje, the APC National Chairman had said that the APC would capture Edo state along with southeast states. Feelers from some quarters had said his position as party chair was being challenged. The Edo victory gives him bragging rights.

(9) President Bola Ahmed Tinubu: Some had argued that the Edo election results would be a litmus test of President Tinubu’s painful reforms acceptability. Now that the verdict is out, President Tinubu would heave a sigh of relief.

Honourable Mention:

(1) Dr Anugbum Omuoha, Edo State Resident Electoral Commission, Nyesom Wike's cousin, who was called on to INEC by PDP to be removed. INEC refused.

(2) DIG Frank Mba: the police security coordination was superb as vote buyers were arrested. DIG Mba also got Obaseki removed from the INEC state headquarters.

LOSERS

(1) Prince Emmanuel Odigie: famous for the phrase "daughter of zion Ayo" he directed at one of the anchors of the Arise News Morning Show, he had accused Monday Okpebholo of being unable to copy WASSCE answers in a special miracle center. He also accused Okpebholo of lacking the mental capacity to function at the global stage. He mooted the idea that the election would be rigged in favour of APC while President Tinubu would be out of the country. He remained in APC, rejected his appointment in the APC gubernatorial campaign council and made several media appearances against the APC candidate.

(2) Rufai Oseni, Reuben Abati and Ayo Maero Ese of Arise News: The duo of Rufai Oseni and Ayo Maero Ese had gone on twitter to insist Monday Okpebholo must present himself for an interview in their studio. This was the same card played by Rufai Oseni and Nduka Obaigbena against Tinubu to attend their debate and interview, which did not force the APC candidate's hand. Reuben Abati had said on their flagship Morning Show that they'd be willing to conduct the interview in pidgin or through an interpreter if Monday Okpebholo could not express himself in English language. Their permutations of controlling the tide in Edo elections have been punctured with APC's win.

(3) Governor Godwin Obaseki: Asue Ighodalo had the election on a platter, but for Governor Godwin Obaseki. All the enemies Obaseki managed to acquire for himself managed to coalesce and fight Obaseki. They were not against Asue Ighodalo per se, but wanted to take their pound of flesh from Obaseki.

(4) Asue Ighodalo: Asue Ighodalo left the comfort of his successful corporate board memberships to serve his people. He was well liked and well positioned for the win. He was confident and ran a well oiled campaign. All was going well until Obaseki got too involved and made controversial statements that damaged Asue's campaign. The threat of do or die and refusal to sign the peace accord did not behove well on Asue and Obaseki.

(5) Olumide Akpata: He was banking on the Peter Obi 2023 revolution which was not replicated in local elections.

Who we wanted to win at all costs:

The people of Edo State, and INEC. INEC needs to wake up. While polling unit results are being uploaded, also create a module in your collation software for results to be digitally entered, checked with the results sheets and create space to be ticked by the party agents and let the figures go to a central collation point. The media should be able to call election results based on these figures. This usual practice of talking results from wards to LGAS to the state collation centers is a Jega innovation. Ten years on, INEC is still doing things the old way.

What lawful police uses unregistered bus to make an arrest. Forget the story, those guys were on illegal duty. What happened to their patrol vans . Where was the warrant of arrest. Police were not even properly kitted. Some police should stop bringing embarrassment to the force name

Lifestone:
I don't get, maybe there's something I'm missing.
The Policemen were there to effect a lawful arrest, the suspect resisted arrest, so what should the Officers have done?
In the USA, Police would have used Teasers on him and rendered him immobile. Anywhere in the World the issue would have escalated beyond this.
From the video, the Officers here were professional, using minimal force.

Bros, if you look carefully , you will know this isn't Nigeria from the colour of taxis and the number plate

ElevationD:
Very hilarious and yet very painful. The owner could slap him out of anger, knowing the way we behave in Nigeria.

He definitely knew that he had incurred a huge debt in these trying times.

May God help him find mercy in the hands of the man, if he did not drive recklessly.

It could be otedola or dangote. Remember they were in France recently where obi cubana who was on vacation in France snapped with them. I think it should be one or them

Dangote paid over $100m for the land . Please factcheck

Hemanwel:
OP, how on earth will you talk about the origin of Dangote refinery without you talking about the amount that was used to purchase the land? Oh so, you don't want the omoniles in Ibeju-Lekki to know the real amount that was paid for their lands?

Well, I will help you do that:

Let me use this opportunity to loud it that, Dangote paid the sum of $20m for the lands he built his refinery and fertilizer plants.

Fortunately, I was part of the fertilizer project from 2017 to early 2020.

Peace out!

Elections are won on ground and not social media. The person with a wider reach and acceptance will end up being the governor.

Bobloco:
The worst thing that can happen to the good people of Edo state is for them to allow APC to get close of the osadebey government house. It will be a catastrophe. A tragedy of unimaginable proportion

Ignorance is a big problem in Nigeria. Did u do research before coming to say trash oga. The 20k is for upkeep. The school fees are paid to school. Government pays the fees directly to the school and not individual. When you request for loan, the nelfund sends to your school for verification so you see the south east schools are the problems who failed to verify their students so they can benefit. Thanks and God bless

aariwa:
what is 20k in today’s Nigeria to students, which is not up to what I pay for a meal where I eat and I have given out a whole lot more in charity to people who don’t know me so 20k is a palliative and not student loan

You always want to call tinubu. How much were they earning under Obasanjo. The senate/reps salaries have never been known by anybody. Na timubu start am ?

alsudan:
I thought RMAFC came out yesterday to Say Senators earn only 1M a month.

Nigeria is a terrible crime scene under Thiefnibuu and Akpabio.

Reason is most people drive cars but don't know how cars operate. What was causing your issue with the car is wheel balancing and alignment. Many people do not know the importance but if your wheel isn't balanced and you drive speed, oyo is your own. If your car is not in alignment, the steering will start waving, most especially when on high speed

Nomerci:
Lexus Es fwd, and GS rwd,awd no balance. I drove my guys gs yesterday and I fired it to 120kph..oh bobs the car was feeling like it had flat tyres,was just bouncing doing left and right while in motion...omo I no tell am oh.

Sometimes,it's good to read before commenting. It says the highest in 3 years and you're bringing an information of 4 years ago. I thought as you saw such news, you will encourage them to do more . You mustn't always bring out negative comments from a positive news. It's high time we pray for the betterment of Nigeria irrespective of who leads the nation
