These are the number of persons that presented themselves for accreditation out of a 2771 names on the delegate list.

Former lawmaker, Hon Razak Bello-Osagie described the party primaries as a show of the party’s democratic values.

He said, “This is internal democracy of the party. So, I do not expect, quite naturally, any rancorous situation. Imaginary boundaries within the party should be removed so that we can have a formidable platform for the general elections. I do not see any reason we should be dissipating energies on those things that will not reinforce the integrity of what we represent as change agents.

“We need a candidate whose activities are predicated on vision, purpose, integrity, leadership and service. It is a family affair, so I expect that the process will go on peacefully to the glory God Almighty and to the benefit of humanity.

Agbomehere had earlier said he would accept the outcome of the primaries as a loyal partyman that supports unity of the party.

Hon Philip Shaibu representing Estako Federal Constituency said, “That is how I see Obaseki, as one person that will take such top decisions and will continue with the infrastructural development that the governor has laid.”

  1. Eyyeahhhh deputy governor just take it easy.It’s normal deputies hardly inherit the seat in Nigeria.

  2. @ Abayomi Olaore, it is because of our corrupt nature. Deputies know a lot and have also endured a lot. Letting them win could mean probe and exposure of covered crimes.

  3. With Adams Oshiomhole’s dream fulfilled in Edo state by making sure his preferrde candidate emerged at the just concluded Apc’s guber primaried. The corrupt, maladministration and impunity will continued from where he’ll stop. God forbide… Edo people must not allow that again, no matter who is behind Obaseki.

  36. When OBJ pick jonathan as his choice to replace him.
    OBJ later regretted it publicly in words ‘d series of public letters !.
    Tinubu pick Fashola to replace him; Tinubu was able to stand shoulder high !.
    If Oshiomhole also see some qualities in Godwin Obaseki ‘d prefer him to others.
    There shouldn’t be anything to start crying about on such development.
    Those who are not satisfied are free to go and hang.
    It’s up to them; as heaven won’t fall !.

  37. Without pdp edo state’s nothing,,,,,,,,

  38. Those who defected to APC with the intention of securing the party’s ticket had bloody noses. They want to reap where they did not sow. Osho Baba, well done!

  39. Now Edo people have another chance to rewrite the wrongs from those who want to kill the state with borrowing millions of dollars without thinking of tomorrow

  41. He should cover his face in shame, he is Oshonhole candidate not d Edo APC candidate & u all clapping hands should be ashamed that u don’t even have a say in who governs u, where is ur preferred candidate? Democracy is said to be a govt of d pple by d pple & 4d pple, not 4 a governor by a governor & 4 d governor, where is ur self esteem, why are u becoming slaves voluntarily when u were born a free born?

  48. I hear so, but I also understand that he has case to answer before the efcc

  49. Congratulation. Wish you success at the polls. Surely you will build on Adams Oshiomole achievements and even surpass it lJN. Edo State is forever Free. It was hard fight, fought and won. It can only be God. The opposing forces were massive, employed the most vicious Campaign ever witnessed in Nigeria Political History against Gov Adams Oshiomole but God delivered him. It was not easy but God looking at the suffering of Edo masses delivered it completely and as it stands PDP is no longer exist in Edo

  50. y is dat edo state governors are always very ugly
