On his part, the Coordinator of the APC campaign council in Edo Central Senatorial District, Odianosen Okojie, appealed to the decampees to come out em mase on September 21 to cast t their vote for the APC.

Earlier, the APC governorship candidate, Monday Okpebholo, while addressing the party ers at his home, Ujabhole in Uwesan, Esan Central Local Government Area, said, “My people have asked me not to bother to campaign here because I have their and votes already.”

A former governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, speaking at Irrua, headquarters of Esan Central LG, alleged that the PDP has no candidate and that the people should not waste their vote on election day

He said, “PDP as a party has no candidate as we talk. The Federal High Court, Abuja has said so. The process that brought Asue Ighodalo in the primaries was also faulted by the court, so don’t go and waste your vote for PDP.”

Lp in Igueben has collapsed into APC. By the time Asue returns from his USA jamboree,the election would have been over

APC kwa maybe druggie is there with bullion vans .abi druggie send some bullion vans .hunger they ooh

Chai, they are running away from anything Obaseki.

A threat

Story only a mad man vote APC.

It's OVER! OFONEE

Edo is not Lagos na! 🤪

.. how do you expect candidate of a godfather like Obaseki to win in Edo? There's no godfather in Edo na!

This is just the beginning. By next week, PDP will organise its own, and you'll read headlines like "Thousands decamp to PDP from APC and LP in Edo state."

The game continues.

O ga o

Kikikiki...Some indeed...
Tinubu minions preparing the ground for rigging.

The race is between Asue (PDP) and Olumide(LP)

The election is still between PDP and APC.

The Edo election is going to be interesting.

The decampees are just the latest news. There are still more things to come

B4 the election na only obaseki and asue go remain for PDP... I should surrender now b4 the disgrace

🥱🥱
Who is the author of this compound balderdash?
Every election day we keep hearing that people are decamping but it's never reflected in the results!

It happens in last election yet Obaseke won. PDP will still win. The decampee are there for the money, country hard now.

Nigeria is a useless country.

Edo is like buhari. They are for everybody.

Tor. O nrugbo bo oo (It has started ooo)

With this level of misery inflicted on Nigeria by APC, you still have hope?

Bros, get small shame for face.

Edo will not vote an illiterate that can't make a sentence in English

even Eluuupees. From TOP to BOTTOM 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♂️ enterAPC

PDP really want to punish Obaseki, no be say them like APC even though most of them were APC during Obaseki first term, they're all out in full force to punish Obaseki, they would have done that through LP perhaps because they don't like the candidacy of Olumide Akpata they chose APC to do that


APC winning Edo election is currently 59% assured while 41% is between PDP and LP

If this is the true position of things in the political space of Edo State, then it means that the Obaseki led istration has been abysmal and/or the flag bearer of the umbrella party isn't marketable to the good people of Edo State.
