Are Edo People Tilting Towards Olumide Akpata Already? by Penguin2: 9:29am On Mar 24 |
Before the different party primaries, there was this huge clamour for power to rotate to Esan people of Edo State and Asue Ighodalo of the PDP seemed to be the poster child. But since the end of the primaries and the emergence of Olumide Akpata of Labour Party who though is from Edo South, is a capable candidate not encumbered by any godfather or things like that, the the Asue Ighodalo campaign seems to be steadily losing steam and people tend to be tilting towards Akpata. I stand to be corrected but from clips I’ve seen online of their engagements with the people on ground, I’ve not seen anything extraordinary about Ighodalo to justify the hype he seemed to enjoy before now of how the election will be a walkover for him. If I’m not wrong, I think Edo people, seeing what Alex Otti is doing in Abia, have chosen to go with competence. And talking about competence, Asue’s ambition is not helped by Obaseki’s dismal performance in the past few years since he won re-election. So, though Asue may be a wonderful candidate on his own capacity, the fact that Obaseki is the one trying to install is off putting for majority of Edo people who are angered by his poor performance. And the APC guy? The picture of his Waec result recently trended and he only had one credit in Mathematics while he failed others which left people wondering how he gained admission into higher institution. Again, it’s looking like it would be easier for the head of a cow to pass through the eye of a needle than for Edo people to vote APC - there’s rarely any state in Nigeria today that would vote APC. So, what’s happening in Edo State? Why is Asue Ighodalo’s campaign losing steam and Olumide Akpata surprisingly making waves? 3 Likes 1 Share |

kelechi50: I hope say una no go cry after election o But come to think of it, U mean voting in Olumide , a Benin guy after another Benin man isn't same as the Marginalization u guys wail about on the grans scale? Esan haven't ruled since 1999 or so but u guys would want Edo people to vote Olumide just cause u want LP to have more states under them 😂😉😉😉😉 15 Likes |

Olumide Akpata will not win one single polling unit, even the one serving Misson Road. Abure plans to collapse the LP structure and cash out anyway so I doubt Akpata will even make it that far to the ballot box. LP are dead in Edo state, very very dead. You will see that Peter Obi will not step foot in the state before the elections. Ẹdo South ruled for 8 years, Esan's agitated for Esan agenda and both PDP and APC gave them, LP produced another Ẹdo South person and you think he has a chance. I shouldn't even be in this thread sef. Continue shouting ya Elupee upandan 11 Likes |

Penguin2: It is simply because most of asue supporters were lp guys who are now flocking back to akpata who is better honestly than ighodalo.the more akpata grows in popularity,the better for APC because most of his supporters would have voted pdp... Akpata as predicted will win or divide votes in Edo south and will fail woefully in central and north paving way for okpebholo 4 Likes |

DevilsEqual: Any election in Nigeria, with progress in mind, should be about Character, Capacity and Competence, not tribal marks. We should not begin to amend the constitution (Benin, Esan, et al) to suit our wetdreams. I expect all Nigerians to have realized this by now. 1 Like |

God forbid. Edo voted massively for Peter Obi and not for LP. Olumide Akpata does not have the same quality as Peter Obi. Edo electorates are independent minded people who knows what they want. They will vote based on their convinction and not on who they are asked to vote for. 1 Like |

aswani: Akpata that they are saying is more bini than obaseki? This election will be like presidential and akpata is like obi,he might not win anywhere but will damage pdp to favour APC. Edo south is the capital of obidients in ss and a large number will vote akpata 2 Likes |

senatordave1: You are tripping as the yanks will say. I must have mistaken you for someone else. You don't seem to have a clue about Edo politics. Akpata won't damage anything. At his rate Accord might push him to fourth sef. |

DesChyko: The Nigerian slogan is Peace, Unity and Progress. With out Peace and Unity there's no Progress. Before Edo starts to look for Progress there must be UNITY. And that unity and peace can only come to Edo by giving the governorship to a region that will marginalized for another 8 years if Edo South wins. |
