I want to thank Edo Politics for the innovation. A big thank you to
all that contributed to the success of this forum. As we elect a governor
tomorrow Saturday 14th July 2012, we should be diligent and not be influenced
by garb and propaganda. We should look at our collective long time interest. We
must be able to differentiate those leaders who see the appointment of their
children and in-laws as our collective progress. We must be able to vote a man
who rose from the ashes of poverty to greatness. We must vote a man who has
succeeded in the murky waters of Nigeria business environment. We
should not vote those who hassled the system to become rich without any one
contribution in t he area of employing our people. We should vote Chief Solomon
Iyobosa Edebiri of the ANPP because he is the only one that will not use our
commonwealth to please those that have constituted themselves into PARASITES on
the System. In all our democracy has become more robust. Debates and one man
one vote is now the order of the day. Again I thank you all for making this
forum a huge success.

Wonders they say shall never end. Yesterday the 10th of July 2012 political stakeholders in Edo State were invited to a meeting with the Director of the department of State Security. The meeting was very cordial and issues relating to the elections were discussed. Among the issues raised was the presence of militants in Edo State. That they were driving around in black jeeps and with hoods over their heads. The director informed the stakeholders that those people were not militants but officers of his department who were deployed to Edo State for the elections. Please go out on Saturday and vote in the next governor of the state, Chief Solomon Edebiri, JP, MON

Our fore fathers and leaders of the Midwestern region lost so much trying to free themselves from the strong hold of the Western region and the Yorubas domination. Those who where civil servants in the Western Region government were forced and sent home without any compensation during the creation of Midwest Region. The western region sieved the access that was due to the Midwest. Our fore father persevered and we are where we are today. I watch with disappointment how the Comrade Adams is working VERY HARD to take Edo people back into slavery and Yoruba dominance. Can we afford to go BACK to EGYPT? Wise up vote for Solomon Edebiri.

ONLY in Edo State, about 1 pm today 4th, July 2012 I saw a group of young people parading with posters in the GRA area of Benin City. I stop to look at what the were proclaiming. Their poster said they were Nasarawa Youths Okada riders in Benin City that they are in support of that other candidate. I addressed them and they promise to vote for the peoples candidate Chief Solomon Edebiri. I asked them a question. I said can an Edo youth do this in Nasarawa State? Their answer was it is only possible in Edo State. I duff my hat for the civilised and accommodation attitude of our people, Keep it up and vote ANPP= CORN.
The elections of July 14th 2012 will be won or lost in just three (Giant Killer) Local Government Areas, LGA, of Edo State. Namely, Oredo, Ikpoba-Okha and Egor. The remaining 15 LGA's na Jara. These three LGAs have the highest number of registered voters. The voters in these areas are well informed about the voting process. They are not likely to suffer from voter apathy. They will always come out on election day to vote. Finally, they are not moved by propaganda. Of the three leading candidates non of them will win any of these LGAs with a clear margin. The winning is going to be on single digit points differentials. From my computations barring rigging the ANPP will win in Ikpoba-Okha with a wide margin followed by ACN. In oredo ACN will win but with a very slim margin. In Egor the ANPP will also win with a slim margin. These votes will spur ANPP to victory.

Today we had the opportunity to meet six out of the seven governorship candidates for the July 14th 2012 elections. The debate was unique and it shows Edo State brazing the trail in democratic development. I want to congratulate the organisers of the debate the NEDG, the candidates for showing up and for helping to advance democracy. The candidates showcase what the people of Edo State are made up of. I have read some post here evaluating the performance of the participants, that is great but we should look at what they have achieved today. First the electorate are now better informed. I have received calls from as far away as Russia commending the debates. As Edo people we are standing tall among are other federating states. While others are grappling with terrorist attack we are busying showing fort those things that made us great before our nation was compromised in 1897. Edo is truly a first nation. Again I congratulate the people of Edo State whose votes will really mater on the 14th of July 2012.

My Dear Brothers, Sisters and Friends I plead with you all to vote Chief Solomon Iyobosa Edebiri, JP, MON as governor of Edo State on July 14th 2012. He is the All Nigeria People's Party gubernatorial candidate in the elections. A vote for him will bring a true friend of the poor into office. He will reduce the school fees in all the state owned tertiary institution. He will also introduce Students Loans and bursary. He will use agriculture to tackle the issue of unemployment. The current tax burden in the state will be completely lightninged. He will concentrate on the construction and linking of all rural villages with good motorable road that will be asphalted. Please do not let them deceive you again. Lastly, on the day of the voting please do not forget to stand/seat and monitor your vote. INEC is saying that after you vote you can go home. Asked them who do they want you to leave your vote with. Stay and monitor your vote.
