Obaseki’s redefinition of South-South political map vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
The House of Assembly election witnessed the unprecedented enhancement and advancement of APC brand in the peculiarly treacherous Southern terrain of our national politics.Despite Obaseki’s famed preference for high achievements but noiseless approach to governance, Edo electorate literally turned out for the March election to deliver a rousing ovation of confidence and pride in the governor.
While the names, Godwin Obaseki, was not directly on the ballot, but the impact and assessment of the governor’s record of service was undoubtedly in the minds of the voters since Obaseki is the premiere chieftain of the party and undoubtedly the most consequential phenomenon in Edo APC hierarchy.
The reasoning logic of the voters of Edo State is infallible. The electorate on March 9 resolved to stand with a genuinely popular governor. The public service workers clearly remember the tragic years when they were not sure of the payment of their salaries in comparison to Obaseki’s contemporary times when wages are guaranteed to be duly remitted.
Nothing could be further from the unvarnished truth. The PDP narrative is polluting concoction because the unchangeable fact is that the performance of PDP in the election is pitifully insignificant when placed on the larger scale of electoral history.In fact, the flimsy 5000 vote gap that PDP illegitimately claims today will be wiped out under critical examination.
