1. My beloved people of Ondo State, as you go out to elect who will pilot your affairs for the another four years, please ensure like the good people of Edo State, you conduct yourselves peacefully, surpassing the record created on Sept 19th in #EdoDecides2020

#Ondo2020
2. I use this medium to plead with @inecnigeria and all security agencies deployed to display neutrality and raise the bar of competency far about their superlative conduct on Sept 19th in #EdoDecides2020

#Ondo2020
3. To deepen democracy, which is better than the best military regime is not the responsibility of @inecnigeria ,security agents or the electorate, but a collective effort.
Please, work together for democracy to take root in Ondo & may the Will of the people prevail.

Truth of the matter is, @GovWike or not, @OfficialAPCNg couldn't have won #EdoElection 2020. Few days ago, we trended some Hashtags, & some are bent towards covering the obvious failures of the APC as a party to attend to the needs of the people that voter it into power.
Edo state election should serve as a pointer to what the future holds for the party if things continue as they are. It is we that call the leadership out that truly care about the party, not those that are always at the defense of the party and the leadership of the country.
The people's choice won. Congratulations to the good people of Edo state.

Dooo....✊

#EdoDecides2020 The Special Adviser to the Edo State Governor on media, Crusoe Osagie, has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of manipulating the ongoing election. bit.ly/2Elidq8
#EdoDecides2020 “Suddenly card readers are not working in areas where Governor Godwin Obaseki is very popular,” Mr Osagie said. bit.ly/2Elidq8
#EdoDecides2020 He said voters ”are being disenfranchised and “we are constrained to say that this is sabotage. Specifically, in Oredo Ward 1, Unit 20 and other places where the governor is clearly popular, the card readers are not working.” bit.ly/2Elidq8

#EDODECIDES2020: HOW OBASEKI CAN TAME FEDERAL MIGHT

@GovernorObaseki of Edo State is not my man-Friday based on certain principles.

Howbeit, ahead of #EdoDecides2020, he is the under-dog, as his estranged buddy- @A_Oshiomhole, @AsiwajuTinubu, et al, are coming with Fed Might. Image
2/ Since 2015, till date, I've critically analyzed several elections conducted under the Muhammadu Buhari regime and I can confidently tell anyone who cares to listen that elections are still 'won' & 'lost' at Polling Units (PUs), depending on who outsmarts best (rigging). Image
3/ Edo has 2,627 Polling Units. @PoliceNG says it was deploying 31, 000 police officers for #EdoDecides2020. Instead of 11 officers per PU, it says it is deploying 3. That is 7,881 police officers manning 2,627 PUs. Where are the rest 23,119 police officers? Kogi/Bayelsa loading? ImageImageImage

I’m having that sinking feeling I get when I watch governorship debates. People want a new Nigeria but the alternatives are no good. Why aren’t intelligent people going into politics? Come on people!

#EdoDecides2020 #Edo2020 #EdoGovernorshipDebate
A governorship candidate wants to use government funds to start “Edo Bakery” to produce “#Edo Bread” as his job creation strategy. Another says he will employ people into state vigilante. 😂

Who did this to us???

#EdoDecides2020 #Edo2020 #EdoDebate
One of the candidates in this Edo Governorship No-Hopers Debate who looks forty-something years old say “I am a yoot too”.

You? Youth? 😂

There is hope.

So, following the supposed #AtyapPeaceAccord, today, 11 Sept, 2020, suspected #ArmedHerders attacked Mañyi-Mashin village, in Zamandabo ward, Atyap Chiefdom, Zangon Kataf LGA in the latest instalment of #SouthernKadunaMassacre

They fled only after #OperationSafeHeaven responded
By then, the attackers had methodically set the settlement of Mañyi-Mashin on fire burning most of the structures & looting & carting away much of what they chose not to burn. They also killed 2 ppl:

Cecilia Ishaya, 62, widow & mother of 6;

& Iliya Sunday, 56, father of 8.
3 days earlier, on 8 Sept, another militia of #ArmedHerders reportedly attacked 3 Atyap youths from Atakmawei village, also in Zamandabo Ward.

They killed Anthony Magaji, 25, final yr HND student with Nuhu Bamali Polytechnic, Zaria;

THUNDER OVER EDO STATE.

In the life cycle of every community or State or nation as the case may be, a time comes when the forces of progress gather momentum, enough momentum to withstand the onslaught of the forces of retrogression.
One thing you can rest assured is this—-it is never a walk in the park.

Such is the moment today as the APC candidate flanked by APC governors and who’s who in APC storm Benin to provide wind to Osagie Ize-Iyamu. Mission—- to signal the beginning of the
end of the reign of terror in Osadebey House.

A man who had it all, propelled by the ancient myth of the invincibility of power, rode roughshod over his friends, his associates and his enablers once he ascended the throne. His belief in democracy only went as far as it would

#EdoDecides2020

“Not satisfied with making a mockery of our constitution by blocking the timely inauguration of two-thirds of the elected members of the Edo State House of Assembly, Governor Obaseki has now resorted to the strong-arm tactics of dictators.”
“First, he sponsors hoodlums to deface, indeed destroy, parts of the House of Assembly building in Benin, feigning the building is undergoing renovation. Then, he imports sand and gravels to prevent access to the assembly complex.
In effect, the man has spent state funds to thwart the very apparatus of the state government he was sworn to uphold. He has squandered public money to defeat the very will of the public. This is tragic beyond words.” -
