Five Solid Reasons Why APC Will Win In Edo State by Nobody: 9:28am On Sep 26, 2016 |
Edo state election is on Wednesday the 28th of this month and everybody is going to the polls to slug it out. A lot of PDP fanatics online that are not even part of the voters in Edo state believe PDP will win. Some folks in Edo state too (majorly Igbos, Esans and Deltans) are ready to die for PDP. Two reasons account for this. One is they are yet to overcome the defeat suffered in the 2015 Presidential Election and the other is the recent hardship Nigerians are going through. It will shock you to know that illiteracy rate in Nigeria and Edo state in particular is way higher than what NBS publishes. Over 90% of the people I have interacted with DO NOT EVEN KNOW why we are suffering. They don't understand governance or even basic economics. I have successfuly converted and convinced several PDP loyalists to vote for APC in my state after I patiently explained the causes of our present hardship, the effects and the solutions that are being put in place by the present government. The present hardship in Nigeria and lack of understanding of it is the biggest factor working against APC in Edo state, nevertheless, APC will still win the election for reasons I'll point out below. Before I start giving my reasons, I'll like to encourage our government to make Economics a compulsory subject from JSS1 to SS3. Tertiary institutions should also modify it to suit a particular course and it should be taught during the first, second and penultimate year of tertiary education. This way, a lot of Nigerians will be able to identify problems quickly and proffer workable solutions. This advice should not be ignored if we plan on being a productive and producing nation instead of our current position as a consuming nation. Now here are the reasons why APC will win in Edo state. 1. APC PERFOMED WAY BETTER THAN PDP IN EDO STATE In terms of development, APC changed the look of Edo state from an ancient city that PDP left it to a modern city and an investment destination. From schools to hospitals, markets and roads, APC touched all. If you were in Benin as at 2007 and you've never been here for the past 8 years, I am 100% sure your jaws will drop to the floor when you see the level of positive transformation that the APC led administration has brought. Lucky Igbinedion the PDP governor from 1999 to 2007 went to jail after being convicted of fraud and embezzlement. The current PDP candidate was Lucky Igbinedion's Chief of Staff and SSG. A lot of Edo people know this and they will rather give their votes to APC than give the key to Edo treasury to PDP. 2. OBASEKI OF APC IS BETTER QUALIFIED THAN IZE-IYAMU OF PDP Before his appointment as the head of Edo state Economic Strategy & Planning Team, Obaseki was a successful businessman. Obaseki holds post graduate degrees in both Finance and International Business, and is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Stock Brokers, Nigeria. Obaseki also serves as executive board member of several private companies including Afrinvest. So he was successful as a private individual and as a public servant, he helped Oshiomole bring development to Edo state. All I know is that Ize Iyamu has a law degree he has never used to practice law, he is a pastor and a politician. As a politician, I know he probably helped Igbinedion syphon Edo's wealth into private pockets. I don't know who ordained him as a pastor sha. I don't know how many cases he has won as a lawyer. A lot of Edo people cannot trust such a person to handle the affairs of the state and bring MORE investment and development. As such, they will vote the more qualified Obaseki instead of Ize Iyamu. 3. IZE IYAMU HAS A CASE TO ANSWER WITH EFCC Ize Iyamu received N700 million from the Dansuki loot and he is yet to answer for it. That is why he is desperate to become governor so he can hide under the cover of immunity. Edo people can not trust yam eaters to guide their yams. As such, they will vote APC. 4. Ize Iyamu Is Tied To Lucky Igbinedion and His Family It is on record that Lucky Igbinedion is an ex-convict who went to jail for fraud and embezzlement and brought so much underdevelopment to Edo state. In the euphoria of perceived victory, Lucky Igbinedion went on live TV to campaign for Ize Iyamu, saying they are both family and that they own Edo state. Unfortunately, the election was postponed for security reasons and because of the mathematics examination on that date. The point is, can Edo voters trust Ize Iyamu who has ties with the Igbinedion family? Do they want Edo state funds to be used to celebrate Esama birthday? Do they want somebody to short change the Oba of Benin again? If you answered No to the questions above then I believe you understand why APC will win Edo state hands down. 5. APC HAS FEDERAL SUPPORT Edo state has always remained an opposition state for 16 years. Now, APC is at the Federal level and APC winning at the state level means Edo state will be better off. Also, the instrument of power no longer belongs to PDP at the Federal level, as such, they cannot repeat Ekitigate in Edo. APC will win for this reason. Yes we are suffering and yes we are desperate for a better life but does this mean we should continue to make the wrong choices? Our wrong choices for 16 years led us to this mess. It is simply foolhardiness to expect someone to magically rebuild a country that was destroyed for 16 years. Transferring your hate from the federal government to Edo state government simply because the federal government has not been able to fix our collective mountain of problems, problems we created by making the wrong choices since the discovery of crude oil, and despite the positive achievement of the APC led government in Edo state is a crime against your conscience and against righteousness. Please read this post carefully and make constructive contributions. Source: Martins301 Cc: lalasticlala seun mynd44 TonyeBarcanista 5 Likes |

Akkotto: APC has not brought hardship upon us. The PDP government that made no meaningful progress to reduce our dependence on crude oil brought this hardship on us. The fall in crude oil price that APC or PDP has no control over brought this hardship on us. The politicians (mostly PDP) that stole our dollars and hid them in private vaults, bank account, wells, or transferred it abroad are responsible for our hardship and lastly, we Nigerians, our over reliance on imported items, our insatiable demand for dollar to either buy goods abroad or pay schools fees abroad or for one thing or the other is responsible for this hardship we are going through. APC in Edo state has performed excellently well. Don't blame APC IN EDO STATE for what is happening at the federal level. APC IN EDO STATE DID NOT BRING THIS HARDSHIP ON US. APC will win in Edo state. Mark my words. 8 Likes |

You wrote about introducing Economics into our Education system but i can see that you you know so little about Nigeria Educational system and you also lack some elementary knowledge of Economics. You blame PDP because you know so little about how bad government policies and lack of diplomacy in handling national and international issues can drastically affect a country's economy.

Nosu: I went to primary and secondary school in Nigeria. I graduated in Nigeria. I taught in a public school during my service year. Before then and after then, I have been teaching in private schools. My first degree is in Economics & Statistics. Is there something you know about Nugeria's educational system or Economics that I don't? Please share it. I'm dying to read and learn. If I am wrong about the change I said they should introduce then go look for the Nairaland thread that hit front page a few days back. The Op asked people to suggest solutions to Nigeria's current problems. Go and read the comments on that thread first then come here and criticize my suggestion again with proof. The bad government policies I know of are the ones that have been in operation since the discovery of crude oil and since the inception of PDP in 1999 to 2015. If you know of any bad policy this administration has introduced kindly state it here so we can debate its merits demerits. If you want to use the idea of diplomacy to shade criminals and thieves from prosecution then I suggest you take your message to China. If you survive and come back safely, I'll listen to you. 1 Like |

Martins301: The truth is you know little about governance and Nigeria Educational system. From JSS 1, Students takes Home Economics as a subject, I am sure you didn't have a teacher for that and that is why you don't know. and at Tertiary Institutions, Undergraduates take management or economics related courses. I am sure you also missed that. Martins301: That might be truth, but don't forget that some project that APC claimed they did was done by the Federal Government, e.g THe isihor-Ugbowo road to 5 junction was a FG work under GEJ, The Aduwawa road under construction is a FG work started on GEJ and so on. Martins301: We all watch the channels debate and it was very clear, who is more qualify for the job. are you saying that Obaseki that said we have 19 LGAs in Edo state is more qualify? that very funny. Martins301: He has answered for it except you have another question for him. He was the campaign Chairman for GEJ reelection in Edo state, The money he collected was for campaign. stop all this propaganda Martins301: It is called freedom of association and that has nothing to do with his person. if you are in politics you must associate with the bad, good and ugly because these are the people that make up the society. Ize-iyamu don't need the state fund to take care of ESAMA birthday, He has enough to do that if he want to. another propagada Martins301: what has the Federal support done for the APC states. They can't pay salary, people are losing their jobs, there is hunger in the APC state. so tell me what the support has done for them. Pls talk for yourself and don't forget that you only have one vote. We need a governor that can use his brain cells, has a vision and can make decision without approval 5 Likes |

This Govt has failed not because the monies they met were not enough but they failed because the man at the helm of affair is not a leader. Leaders are ought to be resourceful, everything the APC and Buhari are complaining about are resources. No Leader in the history of the world complained of resources because they are resourceful in creating much out of the little they have. Buhari was hoping on oil money, that is not what a leader ought to have been hoping on, Leadership is in the brain of which your president does not and not ready to have Martins301: 2 Likes 1 Share |

It is his duty to support the candidate of his party with everything he has. Oshiomole is at the forefront because of the reason above and because PDP spends all their time critizing Oshiomole as if he is the one contesting. 1 Like |
