Peter Obi of the Labour Party, LP, has described the Edo State governorship election as a blatant example of ‘state capture’ and continued gross undermining of the nation’s democratic process and values.

Obi said that the society will eventually take its revenge on the agencies and individuals being used to undermine democracy in future.

The LP presidential candidate in the last election specifically warned lecturers and others complicit in perpetuating what he called ‘charade’ to reflect deeply on the roles they are playing in damaging the foundation of the country’s democracy.

In a statement on his X handle on Monday, Obi said: “What happened over the weekend in the name of election in Edo State does not in any way represent the democratic process we chose as a method of electing our political leadership.

“Instead, it was a blatant example of ‘state capture’ and continued gross undermining of our democratic process and values.

“Any nation whose leadership recruitment process is so fatally flawed is doomed, and we are all seeing the effect in our country.

“I urge those in authority not to allow this situation to stand, or depend on it to remain in power.

“As a country, we have invested significantly in IReV and BVAS, and they must be allowed to function and used properly in order to free our electoral process from the massive falsification that has plagued it and worsening.

“To the agencies and individuals being used to undermine our democracy simply because they hold positions of authority, please that your time in office is not eternal. The society that you are helping to destroy today will eventually take her revenge on you tomorrow.

“To the lecturers and others complicit in perpetuating this charade, you must reflect deeply on the roles you are playing in damaging the very foundation of our democracy.

“The damage you are causing today will inevitably take revenge on you tomorrow and affect your children in the future.

“This kind of action has no place in a true democracy. That is why I have always maintained that today’s politics is not about capturing power, but about saving the country and making it work for everyone, regardless of their background.

“I remain committed to building a new and truly democratic Nigeria, which I insist is very POssible.”

Obi abeg no provoke me this evening.

Your olumide akpata is an acclaimed benin man with a yoruba name and also it is the turn of the esans to produce a governor.

Hence the reason olumide the yoruba/Benin impostor was rejected.

Okpebholo is the only real edolite among the top contenders.

Even Asue ighodalo is half esan half yoruba.

God bless monday okpebholo.
God bless the good people of edo state.

Peter Obi didn't mention anybody's name. 
 
He is making a general statement regarding the outcome of the Edo state election targeting those who, in one way or another, engaged in act capable of undermining our democracy.
 
So, if you are not involved in any way, kindly ignore. Like they say, a clear conscience fears no accusation. 
 
Because some people are venting their anger and frustrations on him over this statement.

Peter Obi is not responsible for your frustrations. He is not responsible for the hunger, starvation, high inflation rate, high pump price of gasoline, high transportation cost, etc. that have ensured that you are angry and frustrated.

Abeg Gerrout!

Nigerian elections is all about survival of the fittest rigger. Wholesale manipulation of the electoral process by hook or crook

It's unfortunate that that just like Obi said, people are far more interested in State capture than they are about Nigeria making progress

Which is why Nigeria us going down the drain

The lamba king at it again.

They should just give him the result sheet for him to be entering results from now on since he is not matured enough to accept that elections are meant to be won and lost. With no IREV or BVAS to blame this time, the man is foaming on the mouth.

3rd place is bronze in athletes anyway. He should be proud of the result he and his candidate are getting

Such an immature man.

See 3rd class graduate that always comes third opening his mouth waa . All your curses are upon you because Olumide lost to PDP in his polling unit and ward not APC. Obi is in sifia pains right now . Polling booth no dey online Obidafts internet president

Senseless talk. You can only wail or wait for 4 years. Nobody send you

Peter Obi the way you play politics will also affect your children in the future.

Obi abeg no provoke me this evening.

Your olumide akpata is an acclaimed benin man with a yoruba name and also it is the turn of the esans to produce a governor.According to Wikipedia akpata was born in Berlin, which makes him not a Nigerian by law.


Hence the reason olumide the yoruba/Benin impostor was rejected.

Okpebholo is the only real edolite among the top contenders.

Even Asue ighodalo is half esan half yoruba.

God bless monday okpebholo.
