Ex-National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, has said 2027 may never come into our political lives because the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, has murdered and buried democracy.

“That day will forever be etched in our history as one of our darkest moments, marked by the brazen theft of our mandate and the shameful subversion of the will of the people”

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has charged the Edo State Governor-elect, Monday Okpebholo to make his victory count for all the citizens and residents irrespective of their political affiliations, social and ethnic backgrounds.

Our genre of politics demands that even good deeds/achievements should be degraded to the level of little acceptance, if there is any acceptance at all.

Gov. Godwin Obaseki of Edo, on Monday declared that he had done his best for the state and that Asue Ighodalo and his running mate, Osarodion Ogie, would continue from where he stopped.

Those who win through the illegal process of undermining others are likely to use same strategies to outwit the people during governance

The court issued an order of perpetual injunction restraining Governor Godwin Obaseki and the Edo State House of Assembly from stopping Shaibu from performing the functions of his office.

“Still, the majority of the registered voters (182,541 or 67.61 per cent) are youths between 18 years and 34 years.”

“In Edo, we have a bad case of cultism and what we also call Okaigheles(Youth Leaders) in Benin and across Edo South Senatorial District.”

“This decision has been necessitated by the way and manner the affairs of the party have been conducted, especially, the party primaries and other sundry issues.”

As the countdown to the Edo gubernatorial election continues, the political arena is alive with anticipation, speculation, and strategic maneuvering. In this complex landscape, each party brings its own unique set of strengths, weaknesses, and narratives to the fore, shaping the trajectory of the race in distinctive ways.

Idahosa said he was rejoining the party he left with Obaseki about four years ago to ensure victory for the APC in the September 21 governorship election.

“As we inch closer to Election Day in Edo State, it is also imperative to remind political parties of the need to adhere strictly to the timeline for the upload of the list of polling and collation agents to the dedicated portal.”

“The Edo primary has come and gone and we are preparing for the governorship election. The party in Edo State has elected a candidate who bears our flag at the moment. We almost had one or two persons who went to court. But they had pulled out and filed a notice to discontinue the cases.”

In a move heralded as a beacon of democracy, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has unveiled the list of gubernatorial candidates for the upcoming Edo State election.
