Edo KOWA Candidate, Osadolor Withdraws, Blames INEC by dridowu: 7:16pm On Sep 10, 2016

The candidate of KOWA Party in the Edo State governorship election, Thompson Osadolor, has withdrawn from the race.

Osadolor, who confirmed this to our correspondent on Saturday, explained that his decision to withdraw from the election followed the impact of the shift on his campaign.

The Independent National Electoral Commission had on Thursday postponed the poll after the Nigeria Police Force and the Department of State Security suggested a shift due to security threats.
But the KOWA candidate, who condemned the postponement, lamented that the failure of INEC to hold the election on September 10 ‘destabilised’ his campaign.

He said, “I am not satisfied with the postponement of the election. They (INEC) knew that we would win the election; that was why they postponed the election.

“Having done that, they have destabilised us. That is one of the reasons we withdrew.‎”

Osadolor, however, endorsed the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, and urged KOWA supporters to channel their votes to the major opposition party.

According to him, PDP was a better alternative because of the similarities between the manifestos of the two parties.

Osadolor explained, “Because of the postponement of the election, I met with my campaign team; we decided to harness our campaign with that of the PDP.

“Our manifesto and that of the PDP are very similar and I think we will be able to work together. We reached an agreement with the PDP that we are going to run an inclusive government.‎

“PDP did not make any financial commitment to us. We do not have any financial agreement,” he added.

I understand his sentiment. These campsigns are capital Intensive. Anyone without deep pockets will struggle. Campaign for another 2 weeks would've dealt a massive blow to his finances.

But las las, dude no stand any 'shance'.

we in edo state have decided to vote for ize iyamu. ize iyamu is our governor. if inec like make them postpone am to 2025. na pdp and ize iyamu we need. am a bini.
EDO DECIDES.
WILL HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF, NO！
1897 IT WAS OBASEKI AND PHILIP JAMES THAT INVADED BENIN CITY IN A COUP TO OVERTHROW OBA AND CANCEL OBASHIP FROM THE KINGDOM. 119 YEARS TODAY THE GRAND CHILD OF THE TRADITIONAL COUP PLOTTER, OBASEKI AND ANOTHER PHILIP SHUAIBU IS PLANNING TO INVADE THE KINGDOM AND POSSIBLE RELEGATE THE OBA OF BENIN UNDER THE HAUSA AND YORUBA TITLE HOLDERS.
The drama that took place hours back about election posponement was carefully crafted and drafted to undermine and disregard the BENIN CUSTOMS AND TRADITION.
The election was pospone to a period when Edo People will be coronating their new OBA, a celeberation that normally takes 21 days to celeberate and also to perform some spiritual rites.
It is a period when the Sons and Daughters of Edo Kingdom takes a break in their place of work in honor of this ceremony that do take place once in a bluemoon.
Edo shine ur eye. Remember in 1897 it was Obaseki and James philip that invaded the Benin Empire to dethrome our most darling King Oba Ovonramen N'ogbaisi.
Emperor Oshiomole has brought back same combination of Obaseki and Philip again AWUAH- God forbid. This cannot be a coincidence that after 119yrs of the first Agho Obaseki and Captain James philip invaded the Benin kingdom, another Obaseki and Philip again. Ivbiedo nuzomo wakpa-egbe oooooo.- Edo People Shoukd rise up and not allow history repeat itself. Edo Prince Edun Akenzua, direct younger brother of Oba Erediauwa our beloved father have spoken, " Oshiomole have no right to choose who will rule the Binis". The Binis will ensure history does not repeat itself. Long May You Live Our His Royal Highness, Crown Prince Eheneden Erediauwa,
Rebroadcast to every Bini you know. the binis need ize iyamu
