Okpebholo Declared Winner of Edo Governorship Election

In a significant political development, the governorship candidate from the All Progressives Congress (APC), Monday Okpebholo, has been declared the winner of the Edo State governorship election held on September 21, 2024.
This election was a pivotal event, featuring a diverse field of 17 candidates vying for the prestigious position at the Dennis Osadebay House in Benin City.
The electoral process unfolded across a total of 4,519 polling units spanning the 18 local government areas of Edo State, reflecting a comprehensive engagement of the electorate.
Okpebholo’s campaign garnered notable backing, particularly from influential figures such as former governor Adams Oshiomhole, who currently serves as a lawmaker representing the Edo North senatorial district.
This support likely played a crucial role in bolstering Okpebholo’s presence and visibility during the election.
The race was fiercely contested, with significant opposition from key candidates including Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Olumide Akpata representing the Labour Party (LP).
Each candidate brought unique platforms and promises to the electorate, making for an engaging political showdown.
Ultimately, Okpebholo emerged victorious in several local government areas, securing wins in Esan West, Owan West, Egor, Akoko-Edo, Esan Central, Orhionmwon, Etsako East, Etsako Central, Etsako West, and Oredo.
His success across these regions indicates a broad base of support that will likely influence the political landscape in Edo State moving forward.
This election not only marks a crucial chapter in Okpebholo’s political career but also sets the stage for potential changes in governance and policy direction in Edo State.
As he prepares to assume office, many will be watching closely to see how his administration will address the challenges and aspirations of the people in the coming years.

Singer Charly Boy Reacts to ADC’s 2027 Plans: “Is It About Change or Power?”

Nigerian singer Charly Boy has shared his thoughts on the recent political move by the political party African Democratic Congress (ADC).
It can be noted that the party is gearing up to challenge President Tinubu’s position in the 2027 elections.
The singer took to social media to express his thoughts on the move and questioned who the party is truly fighting for.
“Are they fighting for you, or fighting to sit where their enemies used to sit? Are they shouting ‘enough is enough’ because they’ve changed… or because they’re no longer the ones benefitting?”
“We don’t just need new names. We need new values, new visions, and people with the guts to live by them. 2027 is not about revenge. It’s about rescue.”

Amaechi Says Buhari Performed Better Than Tinubu

Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, believes that despite his shortcomings, former President Muhammadu Buhari performed better than the current administration under President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi admitted Buhari didn’t achieve everything he set out to do, but insisted that things were still better under his leadership compared to now. “Buhari will be the first to tell you he didn’t accomplish all his plans, but by every standard, his government outperformed this one,” Amaechi said.
The former Rivers State governor pointed to areas like security and the independence of institutions, especially the electoral commission, as key areas where Buhari did better. “In terms of security, Buhari placed more focus there. When it comes to the independence of INEC, there was far more freedom under Buhari than we’re seeing now,” he added.
Amaechi also criticised the current state of politics, claiming that new political parties can’t even get registered because of interference from government officials. He made it clear that his comments are not personal, saying he would have been the first to commend President Tinubu if things were going well.

Amaechi Says It’s Time for a Southern President to Rule Nigeriar

Former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi has maintained that Nigeria’s next president should come from the South. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi stressed that while power should shift to the South, competence and character must be the key factors in choosing leaders, not just regional sentiment.
He pointed out that the coming elections won’t just be about political parties but will be a fight between everyday Nigerians and the political class. In his words, “Nigeria belongs to everyone. We can’t keep running a system where one region holds all the power and others are sidelined. There are capable leaders in the South. It’s time to restore balance and deliver real results.”
Amaechi added that the elections should not be based on blind party loyalty, saying, “This is about Nigerians taking a stand against the political elite. If we truly want change, now is the time to act.” He believes the South is prepared to take the lead, promising a platform that gives every Nigerian a voice and renewed hope.
