If you have ever wanted to join Edo politics, JOIN NOW- Because Edo 2024 is showing so far that Edo State can chill with the big boys of politics worldwide when it comes to politicking.
Have you seen the short clips and performances of Asue Ighodalo (PDP) and Olumide Osaigbovo Akpata(LP)in Edo 2024? They have both displayed a very positive contrast in campaigning which is extremely unedoic in our politics so far? Their messaging is clear, their approach to situations is clear, both are very educated, highly successful, internationally exposed, and currently been separated by their street credibility, believe it or not.
While Asue’s performance appears very family oriented-good listening capacity, a guy quick to proffer solutions to every problem, Olumide is a likeable homeboy with a lot of “yarnings” which he said he got from Warri. They go on every interview platform available, knock door to door and are charismatically interesting characters.
Also, when I look at APC, I just love the guy “Akpakomeza”! Edos everywhere should allow him to campaign in pidgin English because his background is one is great deprivation, a situation that is a frequent outcome for people from villages in Edo State. I see him as a person with a remarkable story who has worked hard to get to his current position. There is a space for him in Edo 2024 and Edo people everywhere should desist from mocking him in the name of politics.
So far there are no “Agberos” in sight in Edo2024, rather, they have been replaced with court systems and interesting permutations like, what will the legacy PDP do? Who will the Edo diaspora vote for? Where is Zoning? And so much more.
Listen, forget big parties in Edo2024, enjoy a good watch of the YPP & PRP party performances in Edo 2024. You might not be familiar with their names but believe me you will be with their ideas. If you have not seen their interviews on ITV Benin on Youtube then I advise you do. Edo is ready with brilliant grassroot Edo candidates. Edo 2024 has the power to inspire young Edo politicians who need encouragement.
Olumide Osaigbovo Akpata has said it all in Edo 2024, Governance is not rocket science, it’s all about allocation of resources and doing the basic things right to attract credit, including managing international support available.
Well, this is Edo State’s political report today and it’s the best I’ve ever written. Enjoy Edo2024. Next stop- Manifestos.
