Edo poll: Obaseki’s political woes self-inflicted, says IdahosaEdo Poll: Obaseki’s political woes self-inflicted, says Idahosa

The former member of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party while addressing journalists in Benin City on Wednesday said the governor was under pressure because this is the first time he would be running an election on his own.

He said: “There was nothing to the alarm being raised by the governor because the state had always won election from the opposition stand different from the government at the centre.

“All the four previous elections held in the state right from when Comrade Adams Oshiomhole became governor have been elections held when Edo State is in opposition to the government at the centre.

“We need to remind Obaseki that he won his first election in 2016 under the APC when the PDP was in power at the centre. He won his second term election in 2020 under the PDP, when the APC was the party in power at the centre. So, what is the difference this time around?”

Idahosa further stated, “The truth now is that this is the first time Obaseki will be on his own. This is the first time he will be conducting an election without all the leaders that supported him in the past in his party today and it is obvious that he will lose.
