And how many souls did we lose to this? After selling the seized rice, what next? Will you start going to people's shops to seize their goods

This is a tactical move by the APC. Both Ighodalo and Okpebholo are from Esan (Edo central), but Okpebholo seems to be more grassrooted than Ighodalo. Will the Esans prefer Okpebholo, seeing that he's coming through APC or will they stick to Ighodalo who is from their preferred party, the PDP. Either way, I see Ighodalo as the next governor because the political odds will favour him considering how the game will pan out in the other two senatorial districts, and he being Obaseki's candidate. Let's watch and see how it plays out and it it likely that Oshiomole will work against his party for not choosing idahosa his preferred candidate. Will Oshiomole prefer to support labour party candidate? Let's relax see.

Excellent news. Akpata is a competent technocrat who is supported by the vast majority of Edo people. He is automatically the incoming Governor.

Expect Edo State to challenge Dubai and even Japan in the area of economic development.

Just knew that selling of cheap rice to public will cause wahala. So much hunger & anger in the land and unconfirmed news said some people paid the supreme prize of death during this exercise. President should find a lasting solution and stop all this short time palliatives. After sharing this, what next?

Throwing shade at Lucky Ayedatiwa who was allegedly a wife beater.
Why are all these useless men angry that aketi didn’t beat his wife
Now the man is dead and they’ve gone to accusing his wife for crimes she didn’t commit all because she’s Igbo
Hmmmmm alright oh

Betty Akeredolu must have written this from a position of pain and anger. I hope she heals. The casual Igbophobia must have gotten to her, especially when she watches what people said about her.

APC should find a way to settle all the internal issues in Edo state..
LP candidate coming from Edo south will have effect on PDP votes in that senatorial district.
If Edo north still stand with APC then it will be a walkover for their party.

Nice one. I like the quality of candidates that emerged from the three major parties in the Edo state governorship race. They are all quality candidates. Good luck to them and the people Edo state in the coming election.
