PDP!!! POWER. CONGRATULATIONS OBASEKI. OUR FUTURE PRESIDENT IS TELLING YOU THE TRUTH IZE-IYAMU. SUPPORT OBASEKI AND LET EDO MOVE FORWARD
PDP will lead Nigeria in years to come
Politicians are the one who are greedy. We can have godfather but the way those people called godfather are handling it because when we are talking about the godfather, politicians must have one person who mentor him not as to be dictating of what to do and not to do. Godfather can advise Him/her but not wanting everything to belongs to him. Congrats to obaseki for his victorious in this election.
Obaseki needs to thank Edo people for standing by him through his difficulties and now he has holding the Barton. He needs to replicate this good gesture with the wishes of masses not implementing anti masses policies because this what is affecting APC presently. More so thanks to buhari for not militarize the process. Congratulations to governor obaseki.
Big congrats obaseki, I know the victory gonna be yours and nothing changed it👏
Congratulations to you, Governor Obaseki you are just one in a million enemy, God will lead you to the right part. And for that useless man from Lagos, Ahmed tinubu that said it clearly last week that PDP has dead I’m Edo I know he will have collapse by now or heart attack. Obaseki this is just the beginning of what you have been doing since, continue with your good did= may God continue to lead you through.
Politicians and the way they talk. Atiku is now talking against godfatherism while all of them are into that too in their various domains
The truth is that Obaseki win is acceptable by the people because of the massive venom the ruling party APC has fed the masses with at the center
Congratulations Obaseki
Try to carry everyone along and bear in mind that the time for politicking is over, now is the time for governance
Congratulations to obaseki… Wetin oshiomele go come do now
Everybody is always trying to rush things. Success requires great patience. If you rush, you will fail. Be patient and remain focused.
Congratulations to Godwin obaseki for putting an end to godfatherism in Edo state.
Power to the People… PDP. Am happy that now Nigerians have seen it that it is Godfatherism that has been our problem. Then I say the end of Godfatherism is the end of election rigging in Nigeria and again the Fear of Visa Ban is the beginning of free and fair election in Nigeria. All thanks to Donald Trump
Anyone in the winning league has the tendency to say what Atiku Abubakar said, there is no party there is no godfatherism. Anyway, congrats to Gov. Obaseki
I said it that obaeseki will win this Election.
Congratulations sir
He should accept defeat and join obaseki to make the state better.
yes oo no more godfather
Those People Called Godfather Are Handling It Because When We Are Talking About The Godfather, Politicians Must Have One Person Who Mentor Him Not As To Be Dictating Of What To Do
