[b]Mr. Philip Shuaibu, a first term member of the House of Representatives, former member of the State House of Assembly and a godson of the outgoing governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has emerged as the running mate of the APC candidate, Mr. Godwin Obaseki.

The contentious issue on who would be the running mate to Obaseki was resolved in the favour of Shuiabu yesterday competent sources disclosed. However, some leaders from Edo Central Senatorial District who were not happy with the decision it was learnt yesterday were being pacified with the position of speaker. Vanguard learnt that Governor Oshiomhole had intensified efforts to get members of the state House of Assembly to return the speakership to the Central despite the near unanimity of the members to rally behind the incumbent, Mrs. Elizabeth Ativie. The lawmakers have argued that Ativie is Esan by marriage and said that they may not be any need to give the position to another Esan man. The decision to pick Shuaibu was based on the voting strength of Etsako people in Edo North which has three local government Areas. That was what the APC lacked in Edo Central, and that was what cost them the position.

The Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Julius Ihonvbere, former Secretary to the Government, Simon Imuekheme, Victor Eboigbe, John Akhigbe, Peter Esele and Prince Joe Okojie were all in the race before the leaders resolved to pick Shuaibu.[/b]

Stop wasting tax payers money.

Edo people has chosen Pastor Osagie Ize Iyamu as their next Governor.


APC should go and sit down.

We are not ready to marry and maintain another white woman for a governor with tax payers money.

Pastor Osagie is the man after God's heart, he is the Messiah coming to liberate Edo state from the shackles of underdevelopment.

God bless POI.

The Comrade Gov that campaigned zealously against godfatherism as a

fresh aspirant back in 2007 is now the Father of Godfatherism..

Abegi no one is innocent, both pdp,apc all have corrupt leadership.oshio baba has lived up to his party fraudulent change in chains promise.so even if a so called pastor assumes winner for edo state governorship election, Dat does not make him the Messiah.
Trust me dis niggi will loot,and God forbid Pdp wins by presidential level in 2019..trust me looting by then will be like spectranet 10gig bonus subscribers, trust me the looting final season by Pdp vs apc would remain unlimited by then.
Pastor kor,apc ni.


End times is truly here.

Hmm! Edo elections is getting closer. I just pray things don't get violent in the state like it did during Rivers elections.

What I don't really understand! How can a member ' House of Rep' be contesting as a deputy governor@ same time? Is there know other qualified person in APC?
This whole thing is Propaganda! If only PDP had a better' reasonable person, this would have been a stepping stone. Unfortunately, they choosed a political radical unproductive Pastor as flag bearer. The great Mistake.
Edo is in for another eight years of Periphery

Why Edo Men de always worwor like ds naw Haba!! 1st was igbenedion then osho baba, now these ones.

Buhari Why??
