Ahead of the June 22 governorship primary election of the All Progressives Congress in Edo State, Governor Godwin Obaseki has insisted that there would be no direct primary in the state, stressing tha

t only indirect primary could hold in the state in accordance with the rule gazetted in newspapers on Friday.

The governor, who spoke through his Special Adviser on Media and Communication Strategy, Mr Crusoe Osagie, told one of our correspondents on Saturday, “The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 has said in its briefings that states should manage the pandemic through measures unique to their states.“On the basis of that, we have deployed this measure in Edo State, the rule has been gazetted and so direct primaries cannot hold here as far as that regulation is concerned.

You lied obaseki. Leadership is loyalty not authority.

Yes my Governor

Is GovernorObaseki afraid of election?

When is he going to tell us that elections won't hold in Edo this year?😆😆😆

Direct primaries might be influenced with money. Money weights might get their results from direct primaries.

Hmm! Zamfara way loading...

Pls sir can u explain this to us and why the sudden change of mind

If you popular as you claimed test your popularity Oga, don’t hide under any ambiguity gazette

Ibikunle Amosu tried all he knows, but at last he lost. He used the state chapter to conduct the Ogun primary election ingnoring the APC NWC, doing away with the committee sent from the APC national to conduct election. After all his girigiri he fall like spoit pawpaw

Oga, if you insist that Direct Primary, the party will not go for indirect primary either. The party have the power to go for consensus. Who are the people advising Obaseki?

Say if it holds you will lose abi?

This man has forgotten what he said when he was in power. All this lying sons of satan in the name of politicians

Rivers Zamfara loading

Obaseki’s political advisers are terrible and are not advising him well. He should know the party’s NWC is totally in charge of party primary and nominations. He should have left the party to another. He is running out of options

Let it not hold so as to frustrate oshomhole ( the frog) agenda

What is the implication of direct primary that made you to object to it?

Really got nothing to promote. Follow me, I follow back.

This game is getting interesting 🤗

Between Obaseki and Oshiomole who have the final say?

Why should Obaseki or anybody be afraid of direct primary? Could it be that he has a clandestine plan to rig the primary and only indirect primary would enable him to successfully carry out the rigging?

U cannot dictate an election you are participating in. National or Inec laws override state laws

Let Gods will be done

PDP should warm up. 🤣

Animal talk from this Man 😂😂😂

could someone explain to me, why GovernorObaseki is afraid of direct primary.

Who will conduct the Primaries? The Party or the Governor?

How can i be Governor not a Governor. Osho never had any interference in during his time as Governor. Even when he was using thugs against the people

Obaseki refused to share public funds with the state politicians. Obaseki refused to borrowed more money like osho did. Obaseki banned agbero were Tony kabaka were seen celebrating one billionaire naira. Obaseki stop all political appointments without his approval,

If this guy is sleeping I advice someone should wake him up

Mr Governor stand on your ground. You worth second term don't mind your distractors

Fear of unknown...

If Gov. Obaseki is sure of his popularity should go for direct primary...

Why Edo.. Governor is always handsome and beautiful...!

The Governor using extant health advisory to circumvent extant party rules and regulations on conduct of party primaries. Y’all are the same, u won’t use laws/regulations to deal with issues affecting the citizenry but quick to enact gazette for ur own propaganda. God help us

Why will any candidate oppose direct primaries? Is the gubernatorial election not a form of direct election?

Governor Obaseki Yoruba bo woni taba fe mu obo ase bi obo l hope you understand this adage. God be with you 🙏

Game of chess! Using Covid-19 as a strategy!

I can't laugh enough.

All na initial gra gra

What he meant is...We will both scatter everything and then hand over Governorship win to OfficialPDPNig This is going to be very interesting !!!

Lol. Just watch out, impeachment process is about to begin in Edo state. Another Gov is about to bite the dust.

But the APC NWC has the constitutional backing to decide the mood of primaries in focal states..So what exactly is GovObas talking about here? I hope it's not going to b a do-or-die affair in Edo..Security agencies should please take note of threats capable of creating unrest...

PDP right now...

Obaseki will scatter APC as a party and hand over power to PDP in Edo State. Just wait and see how it goes....

So covid-19 is now a political tool in the hands of obaseki. How does he expect people to take the virus seriously?

I feel your pains,but Ambode also does all he could but he was however deleted from the hot seat

Hahaha

Are you afraid of defeat or what?

If governors have the power to conduct primaries then Ambode would have done the same. Edo state elections will be very interesting from the way things are going.

😂😂😂😂

He should have learnt from Gov Ambode's persecution

This one is joking

Game over for Obaseki. You slept while your enemies were awoke.

I don't care, y'all are after your pockets.

They want to ambode Obaseki in Edo state...

What's he afraid of? Is he now the party?

Power is sweet......😃 😃 😃

Will PDP be allowed to hold their ward congresses next tuesday?

Mr governor you are gooner Ambode 2020

Please, Like my comment, then I will follow you, make sure you follow back. Please

INEC shld create room for independent candidates so they don't choke in a divided party. They shld adopt an open electronic transmission of results from the polling booth so as to eliminate electoral fraud bedeviling the system. Or, democracy should be declared dead in Nigeria.

Dear GovernorObaseki, leave the long grammar & implement your plan B if you have any. APC can't help you; they've already plotted your exit. Fortunately, you still control the little piece left of the state assembly unlike the time of Ambode. Stop slacking bro!

If you work you suppose get serious support

Pathetic 😂 a sitting governor scared of he’s own people .. embarrassing

Even for PDP where he has ran to?

What is he scared of

Very soon he would say elections shouldn't take place because of Pandemic. What exactly is he afraid of?

To as many that belief option A4 still remain the best form of voting shouldn't encourage indirect election...

Please let’s follow each other back

Obaseki should shut up...he can't decide for party

Hahaha GovernorObaseki it will be very difficult for you to win

Like seriously, the battle line has been drawn in Edo state be that o

Frustration 😂😂😂😂

I am sure he didn't say this !

Obaseki is already gone

What arrogance from someone that was democratically elected

Obaseki have the final say on the protocols to be adopted for APC Primary election. he is responsible for the safety of lives and property. I don't see how INEC will upturn the gazette published already by the state government.

Oshomole is seriously on this man neck! Interesting 🤔

Your game(spoiler) is if you don't have the APC ticket nobody will have it. You can still clinch the ticket from another party if you decide to decamp. Please don't allow your greediness and ego to destroy APC chance. APC mistakes in Zamfara & Bayelsa must not happen in Edo.

RIP to obaseki's second time .

Am afraid Obaseki cannot stop APC from holding the direct primary. The primary will hold any how and a result will be announced.

Good Afternoon, it gladdens my heart to inform u of this great news to render services to u in the best effective and efficient way. For your final Yr Project and Master Degree Project 4 any department. Follow this link to join my WhatsApp group: 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Obaseki is like a student who wants to set up an exam for himself and others to write. Also want to the supervisor, to monitor it and teacher that will mark.

Why is this man making matter worse for himself. I thought by now he would learnt his mistake and refrain from making further mistake. You are not a king maker yet,get that straight!

I see Zamfara gbese repeating in Edo state if care is not taken. Obaseki is ready to lose out to another party but not to Oshiomole

I wonder how some people de laugh at obaseki same people don't want godfatherism Our mumu never do. Lagos never get independent since tinubu leave offices now is Edo state

Some said he should bring tinubu & Oshio to thier knees, so na so u dey think?.....chai.lol.........bad advisers everywhere.

I think I prefer direct to indirect primary. Every card carrying members of the party will have to vote. A gov who has done well should be happy to adopt dis style.

Senseless advisers whose actions have shown to be mere sycophants getting Obaseki into deeper pains....Too late I guess!

Lol. Don't tell me you are scared ooo

That's why I said that the previous election that ushering Obaseki into Government house was rig in his favour. If Obaseki is so scared of mere direct primary election, how is he going to face political opponents in general election?

I will be so happy if GovernorObaseki can bring Oshiomhole and bola Tinubu to their knees. Both of them stayed 8yrs in office without interference. All these covid-19 godfathers should stay away from our political space. AsiwajuTinubu A_Oshiomhole

Obaseki is so scared,shivering and he had already urinating on is body. Why are you scared? If you've done well, go for the direct primary to test your popularity

Let’s see who blinks first

While begging for the intervention of the elders including Mr. President, the Governor has continued to be unruly. He can’t be blowing hot and cold at the same time.

GovernorObaseki overestimates his powers. He should as well say no general elections in Edo state bcos of COVID-19. All these ground standing won't solve the issue.

He is right....he will be disqualified and there will be no need for primaries

That's your personal problem.

Mumu....u are a goner man

He is wary of direct primaries because Oshiomhole would deploy notorious thugs whom he (Obaseki) has made irrelevant to rig the process. Oshiomhole in his time empowered thugs to do his dirty jobs, but Obaseki changed that when he became governor.

Obaseki should stand his ground for that,cos he is the governor of the state

Hnnnnnnn remember Zamfara and Rivers Ooooooooooo!

Dis my people no get choice..they can easily follow follow as long as money dey..reason why dem can always decide of us!

Really got nothing to promote. Follow me, I follow back.

Why is obaseki afraid of Direct primary. Their may be blood shed in Edo if precautionary measures are not taken to curb obaseki hooligans.

What is all these brouhaha about direct primary? If you treat your party people right why afraid? Direct primary is an inclusive process for party faithful. Power belong to God.

Wake up and smell a coffee Mr. Governor. You can’t be a player and referee at the same time “Nemo judex in causa sua”. Nobody will obey your law come June 22nd. Direct primaries will hold and heaven won’t fall!

Fear of the Known...

That is a statement from a frustrated person

All the comment here is clear that some Yorubas cant think for themselves because they have lived all their their lives through directives. Lagos is not lagos.

He's afraid of defeat 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Party over OFFICE

kfayemi ekitistategov please help us reach to the Nigerian government to help us get out of lebanon..please most of we ladies here are becoming suicidal NGRPresident Please kindly help retweet this😭 OgbeniDipo channelstv naptipnigeria abikedabiri DGNaptip

Scatter every thing joor

It wont hold, take to the bank. Apc either hold indirect or hold nothing. Oshio can do direct primary in Abuja. Edo are fully ready to loss Apc for pdp. A pdp governor is a win win for edo than Oshiomole governor. Obaseki remaining 4 yrs is untouched. Fayemi came to chop is 4yrs

Who supplied him cocaine?

Emergency sales! Mazda Tribute 2010. Foreign used. 4 plug. AC like cold room. Very Sharp. In pristine condition. Going for 1.6M. Location for inspection is Ibadan. Current market value is 2M+. But this is going for N1.6M. Take ur opportunity. Pls retweet

Obaseki failed to under the power of godfatherism. It is so unfortunate that the fight that should be between obaseki and other aspirants is now between him and oshiomhole who is not an aspirant.

Now i see why covid19 figures has been manipulated over the last few weeks in edo market remains closed after three months.

This man doesn’t have good and sensible people beside him. Digging his grave with all action

Shameless politicians would always choose the dubious path

I think that is the best, why is he scared of direct primary if he as done well

This guy is confused sha.

😂 😂 Baba dey fear, see this life make you never forget where u start from
