It’s no news that Edo state governorship election is coming up this year and different parties have already announced their governorship candidate.

The rhetorics out there is that it is the turn of Esan and Edo people are queuing behind Esan candidates.

However, some Edolites claimed they won’t Olumide Akpata because of two things, he is not of Esan origin, and he has Yoruba name “Olumide” as part of his name.

However, we got to know that Ighodalo, the candidate of the PDP has a Yoruba mother and infact his full name is “Asue Akintunde Ighodalo”.

In lieu of this, I Legendhero who initially declare are my intent of ing Olumide Akpata is now giving my to Akintunde Ighodalo too.

Any one of them that emerges in the governorship election will have my .

God bless Oduduwa sons and daughter
God bless Edo state

In last Lagos election, most Edolites Shinedu Gbadebo to be the governor of Lagos.

We are now returning the and one of Akpata and Ighodalo must be governor in Oduduwa name.

This will be victory for democracy.

Akpata can not win.

LegendHero
You're are a hero, you are legendary.

lordm:

Akintunde should win then. Yoruba can't stop ruling Edomites.

Edo is fully a Yoruba land. We are taking back what rightly belongs to us. It’s a Yoruba governor in Edo or nothing else.

Now what if edo's replay the stone age ,imbecilic behavior that happened in Lagos by mobilizing against those candidates in for candidates without any yoruba affiliations, how would the country and the world view them . The might even say yorubas are trying to take over edo state and bring in scorched earth policies against yorubas in edo state.

Truth be told, the devil has no hiding place.

When Edo ed Gbadebo, they gave everything to it.

I know you are a chicken livered fellow and your will end from your lips.

Can you travel to Edo, change your voting venue and make donations?

Thank you my brother.

The mods banned me all this while and here I am back from my sabbatical.

I won’t rest until a Yoruba son become the Edo state governor.

Edo cannot do that because they cannot reject their Oduduwa ancestors.

Edo is Yorubaland so we are just reclaiming it back with the governorship mantle.

Shinedu will never rule Lagos. Any Shibuzor that do anyhow will be dealt with on Election Day in Lagos. If you like call am Stone Age, we no care.

Of what importance is your ? Are you from Edo?

Edo is Yoruba territory so I can speak on her behalf.

This una tribalism has made Nigeria's lack of progress for generations to come certain.

You guys wanna use same tactics you use against Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour on Akpata and Asue so that Edo will now vote for the evil party APC. Edos are wiser than that

Its just a matter of time. A sane president would come and ensure a free and fair election is conducted in Lagos and the structure of criminality in Lagos would be destroyed and Lagos given to Lagosians instead of Ibadan man to decide that Lagosians cannot rule Lagos

This is the reason you see all of them doing this almost every day on nairaland and other social media platforms. I used to believe Igbos are bad but I've come to realize Yorubas are actually the problem. Check the way Yorubas are urging the Army to kill innocent people in Delta State because of the recent unfortunate killings of 17 soldiers.

Anyone in SE and SS that doesn't know that these people in SW hate them is a big fool.

Is it tribalism when you ed Chinedu above Sanwolu?

Yen yen yen. Yoruba man must rule Edo. Edo belong to Yorubas. Yorubas been ruling Edo from ages past.

Nairaland no reach ban you... not just possible..

ObiORBiafra:

It is democracy. Are you this dumb?

People are free to whoever they want.

Get a life!

Nothing new here

A lot of Edos have such names and close affiliations.

Na who no be Edo or know Edo go dey vex.

We love fairness, equity and justice hence we rotate governorship within our 3 senatorial zones. It's the turn of the central zone of which Dr Asue Akintunde Ighodalo is a strong candidate.
Barr Olumide Osaigbovo Akpata will enjoy when it's the turn of the South zone.

Odin13:

For the past 3 month, I’ve been banned more than 3-4 times.

It is as tho the mods dey purposely silence voices. But it’s fine, at least it gives time to get off Nairaland.

Abeg which tribe are you from?

As a proper Yoruba guy wey I be, any tribe after Ibo or Hausa after that Ore upward, I no sabi them.

If not because Oranmiyan colonized Edo throne, I for no sabi say one tribe Dey wey be Edo self.

Were you from Lagos when you were shouting shitneydu for governor in Lagos.

They are already angry on the internet. This same girl was rooting for Chinedu Gbadebo and Peter Obi in Lagos.

As Edo election reach and they saw the names of the candidates, tune don dey change.

State elections are tribal. Don't stress yourself. Even your hero, Peter Obi, played the tribal card when he was ruling Anambra.
