Odion Olaye, chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Edo state, has sparked controversy with his inflammatory remarks ahead of the September 21 gubernatorial election.

In a viral video, Olaye, while campaigning in Egor, Benin City, for Asue Ighodalo, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, assured ers of victory.

He predicted that Egor will be won by PDP, adding that the state “will burn” if the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) failed to declare Ighodalo winner of the poll.

“I want to assure you that PDP, our party, is going to win Egor 80 percent come 21st of this month and on 22nd of this month, they must declare Asue Ighodalo the winner.

“If they refuse to do that, Edo state will burn,” he said in the video.

His comments come on the heels of allegations and counter allegations by parties.

In one of the scenarios, the state PDP Chairman, Dr. Tony Aziegbemi, said it has uncovered plans by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to use fake INEC staff who would be posing as technical staff to tamper with the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS).

Media Director of APC Campaign Council, Prince Kassim Afegbua, however dismissed the allegation.

PDP is the worst thing to ever happen to this country

They corrupted the system so bad that they indirectly taught every other groups, parties and people how to cheat and still publicly brag about it


PDP isnt even in power, yet they still successfully turned NLC into one of their wing-men.


This statement from the NLC guy is very undemocratic

How?

2 Can Play That Game, If Chief Thug of APC ,MC Oluomo of Lagos Can Make Such Threat On Behalf Tinubu APC Government & Get Away With It, So Can Edo PDP Chief Thug Get Away with it too.

This Odion Olaye is President of NURTW Edo State Chapter, A Labourous Thug

Five or Seven Men supreme court justices will decide who shall be Edo State governor. All these people are noise makers.

I left..!

That Means If Eventually PDP Wins Edo State, NLC President Joe Ajaero Will Rot in Prison

E.K CLARK won't write latter demanding edo state NLC chairman arrest oo.

Na APC go post this nonsense. Except you don't know how APC government play their dirty politics.

You seems to be jumping on every thread ing all manners of evil bro. Like someone said earlier, this your new job still dey shark you. You go soon tire.

Nothing will happen. Let the apc continue to intimidate the pdp and be arresting and sending them to Cameroon instead of Abuja. It's Tinubu's intimidation style in lagos. Its not new. This time, he'd know edo no be lagos for the 2nd time. He doesn't know he's busy giving the apc a bad name in edo with this act. This is the worst time for the apc to contest in any election, now that everyone is screaming cos of their bad governance.

PDP will win edo with ease. Argue later

Hmm, ok

This kind of news gives ipob miscreants erection.

Stop the poor narrative.
APC brought and legitimized corruption in Nigeria and tinubu nationalized it.

It doesn't make sense for APC to win any election for now in Nigeria. I am not anti Tinubu/APC, but I wish APC lose Edo and Ondo state election to send the right message to Ojuyobo.

That nigga is becoming too comfortable.

An average Nigerian talk foolishly and recklessly.....

This is very insensitive coming from a person of his position. He forgot that the position he occupies places even more responsibility on him to the candidate of the Labour Party all things being equal.

I hope when the same threat is made in 2027 against other parties in Lagos many fools will not cry blue. I also hope that those Arise News fake journalists will take note and not be making noise about what will happen in Lagos in 2027

Preaching democracy to a black man is akin to teaching calculus to a pig. A bloody waste of time and resources.

Same way that idiot from Katrina threatened hail and lightning if he were to lose in 2015 and the monkeys in the zoos queued to vote him in

Seun and his mods are green snakes... If you know, you know

Apc can't win any election in nigeria except through rigging if they rig this coming edo governorship election as most people expected we might see a crises that will engulf the whole country.

what is your useless emilokan doing in aso rock

My own be say, that APC candidate, the Oshiomole's stooge must not win. He will drag Edo state back.
Asue is a better candidate than the 3 popular ones

No be LP again
