If Edsiec had postponed the elections to a later date or if the state governor Comrade Adams had gone ahead to cancel the elections what would have been the outcome? My prediction is that ACN would have won 15 LGAs and the PDP would win 3 LGAs. They would win Ikpoba-Okha because the ACN members in the LG did not like the way Itohan was imposed on them. PDP will win Ovia NE because of the influence of the Esama of Benin. The staff at his university will always turn the votes in his favour. Finally PDP would have won Esan NE has a very vibrant candidate in the person of John Yakubu. The Minister of works and the Chairman PDP Board of Trustee Chief Anenih is from there.
If the elections was postponed the ACN and the Comrade Governor would have advance the cause of democracy, the people will be happy that their votes counted and the Comrade would have become the true apostle of one man one vote. As it is now Edsiec has declared results for ACN in 14 LGAs and the governor has sworn in the supposed winners in as chairman of their various councils. Well we will watch and see how the whole thing plays out.
