The 2 major candidates, representing the 2 major contending political parties for the victory to rule the Edo State Government, in and after the 19 September 2020 Governorship Election, are members of "the same party", with one flying a strange flag.

The seeable difference between them is, seemingly, in the "principal interest" of one man who brought them together at different times. Herein is the logic behind the present vicious and wastefilled politics in Edo State.

The flag borrowed from the Peoples Democratic Party is to assist the incumbent governor to attempt to actualize what his true political party members failed to believe that he could accomplish. As a literary mind, it is important to review this present era against the past, in order to reach an optimum opinion. It is what this effort is about.

Apart from the party congress at which a candidate emerged to fly the flag for the ruling All progressive Congress, APC, we would recall that the leadership of party, at that time was under a self burden of misjudging the personal political interest that so much tasked the responsibility of governance in the party, and in the wisdom of Mr President, an excellent decisionline was drawn. It was "no victor, no vanquished."

Those in the party, like me, had their way, and the erstwhile national chairman was removed from office, and his cabinet sacked, unfortunately.

It was not a pleasant victory because, for me, I thought Godwin Obaseki should have been given his fair chances by the party: 4 years is not eternity, amd we are, now, also, by the decision of Mr President, forced to fly with Osaigie Ize-Iyamu as our candidate. Imagine John Oyegun working with Adams Oshiomhole for Osagie Ize-Iyamu!

At this point, let me "sip from a glass of water" and appreciate the Governor Mai Mala Buni's National Caretaker/Ex'Or National Convention Planning Committee, and the Head of the Secretariat, Senator (Pastor) John James Akpanudoedehe, Ph.D, for the onerous task of achieving several peculiar reconciliations within the party. President Muhammadu Buhari's commendation of the committee was timely, and it is the general feelings of all members of the party.

We would also recall that the incumbent governor, who until his disqualification from participating in that APC nomination exercise, was believed to have been hindered by the party leadership from participating in the nomination exercise, though he was the only flagbearing member of the All Progressive Congress in his State, who, in all, enjoyed the sympathies of his brother-governors and party leaders, in his bid to return to the Government House, Benin City.

At the point when Godwin Obaseki finally decided to join the Peoples Democratic Party to actualise his second term aspiration to govern Edo State, it was certain that his decision to do so was a collective one - sort of a last resort, which, in my own opinion, will end with a bad result. Because certainly, those who sympathised with Governor Godwin Obaseki in the APC have no choice now than to support his opponent.

Unfortunately for Governor Obaseki, the party to which he sought refuge has not repose any trust in him because they still smell the fragrance of the APC and the breath of revenge all over him. The "defected" high prize of the now "ruling party" in Edo State was not enough for the PDP leadership to embrace.

Every member of the PDP knows that should Governor Obaseki win the Edo State governorship election, they would not be able to keep him in the PDP. Obaseki knows Wike, and he knows that while Oshiomhole may be depicted as "a learner" of political wars, Wike is "a veteran" of such wars. He knows he must avoid the PDP.

So, for Governor Obaseki, his high prize of victory would be to return to the APC to prove the party wrong, and to share pumped handshakes with his brother-governors, in an all "welcome back home" back slapping embraces.

This is why Governor Obaseki is "paying" for every step he takes in the PDP. It was recently published that his ward Chairmen are demanding for N10m each to support the governor. And to retain his deputy, Shuaibu, he has to cough out N2bn. So much economic fiscalism replacing political ideologies.

This treatment meted on Governor Godwin Obaseki by the PDP, through which a new PDP trend of political support of "pay-as-you-lobby" been adopted for big time defectors, indicates clearly that the PDP is not interested in the governoship ambition of Governor Obaseki, nor in the September 19 2020 governorship election oncoming to take place in Edo State.

Logically therefore, and in the manner of who Godwin Obaseki is, it is clear how he is already very tired of his new political party. A party which thinks that "head or tail", any victory at the Edo State poll, is a victory for the APC. Along this line, I think Governor Godwin Obaseki needs to redress himself, retract his steps and return home to the APC.

It is better for him lose within than to lose without! He must not fight against the house he hopes to return to, when it is very clear that the one he has ran into is filled with "dead men's bones".

Obaseki made a wrong move...

He could have lobbied relevant politicians when the feud between him and Oshiomole started..

I doubt if Pdp are contributing to his reelection campaign cos nobody is ready to sow wherethey are not going to reap..

Ipob will console him after losing.

PDP knows for sure that Obaseki cannot win the election but they needs his money,where are the PDP's stakeholders they are not ready to waste their money on a "bad market" and a traitor.

Paid hands working for their pay.
I have nothing against a man searching for his daily bread.

zombies creating midnight thread on Obaseki just to masturbate

Edo no be Eko
Ambode is a fat bastard clown

Better to die fighting than to die standing
Ambode that listened to yeroba muslim advice where he dey today?
a whole immediate past governor?
I doubt if he'll be recognised in any event in Lagos or beyond
this is what Zombies and yeroba Muslims want for Obaseki just to massage the ego of the criminal drug brown teeth bastard Tinubu.

little did they know that
Edo is not Lagos
what Obaseki did is what any real man will do
unfortunately Ambode no be man
God bless Obaseki the people's governor
he'll overcome.
