LP done mess up
Akpata na Obaseki boy na
True true na Obaseki dey control Edo LP

The crisis in Edo PDP may pave way for APC in Edo state

Big fat lie. Obaseki played all His cards to ensure everyone else emerges except Akpata

It is looking like APC will win. PDP chose a man who cannot speak his mother's tongue and needs an interpreter talk to his own people, while LP chose a man who has a Yoruba name and lives in Lagos in contravention to the popular Edo slogan that Edo no be Lagos.

.....but you said with Wike's help, Shaibu will be declared by the Courts?

Nice one. I like the quality of candidates that emerged from the three major parties in the Edo state governorship race. They are all quality candidates. Good luck to them and the people Edo state in the coming election.

Let the best man win!

This is great

Well Congratulations to him .. Waiting for PDP to chose a candidate ..at least the National HQ should let us know thier candidate .

Nice one

LP will split PDP's votes...We shall see.

how does having a yoruba name disqualify Akpata from winning?

was the slogan "Edo no be Lagos" coined because of Yoruba name?

I pray that God fails the demons that day

Obi and Abure almost shortchanged him. Thank God he cried out. Corrupt people.

Edo no be Lagos crew, how far, APC is going to win big time

The kain beating he will get

John Oyegun had Yoruba name and he was governor of Edo state.

Okpata is going no where.

Tribal sentiment would destroy Nigeria before the economy. What is Yoruba name? What is mother tongue? That's why you have to put state of origin on a CV.

Interesting election ahead

in a democracy, the best man hardly wins. It's the most generous and popular man that usually wins.

We are not like that in Edo state, Edo Central where both the PDP and APC candidates hails from have the least number of voters so mother's tongue won't matter, Edo people don't have any issue with Yoruba names because it's common among the people

Noted.

APC should find a way to settle all the internal issues in Edo state..
LP candidate coming from Edo south will have effect on PDP votes in that senatorial district.
If Edo north still stand with APC then it will be a walkover for their party.
