Just as I predicted in a post here a few days ago that John Yakubu will win Esan NE any day. John Yakubu had worked with Comrade Adams as a chairman of Esan NE in the begin of Comrade Adams governorship. I am sure that they are going to work together even better that the ACN chairmen.
As for tomorrow, the truth is that ACN imposed their candidate in Ikpoba-Okha. So a very popular former ACN aspirant then decamped to PDP where he got the ticket to contest as the PDP candidate. The trouble ACN has is that the ACN people are working for the PDP guy. Even those ACN have secretly placed as polling agent says they will work to teach the man that imposed the ACN candidate a lesson. Anyway tomorrow we will all be in the field.

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.

Chief Gabriel Osawaru
Igbinedion, The Esama of Benin Kingdom is a household name in Nigeria and
indeed Africa. He is a successful Benin Chief and an Edo ICON. He has Been in
Business as far back as 1967. He single handily brought HINO motors to Nigeria
in 1970. A car named Nedion Avenger was manufactured and sold all over Africa
in his honour. He was made the Esama of Benin at the age of 36 by the highly
reverend Oba Akenzua the second of Benin. At the age of 40 years he started the
Okada Airlines. His marketing skills is well acknowledge by Nigerians as they now
call cheap motorcycle transport Okada. Okada you will recall is the name of the
village of the Esama of Benin. So Comrade Adams should not even try to tanish
this illustrious son of Benin. I can assure all the Comrade Adams is a small fly
in the scheme of the Nigeria project. He was probably a tailor and a clerk in
one run down textile mills when Esama was already an industrialist. When
Comrade Adams came to ANPP to run for Governor, he was as broke as a broken
plate. It is was the Esama's son, Lucky Igbinedion that sponsored Comrade Adams
as the governorship candidate of AC. The rumour mills have it that Lucky spent
#600 million on that project. We are in a democracy and everyone can not be in
one party. In another footage, Comrade Adams was in Auchi and the people wanted
to mob him. He had to speed off and the policemen in his entourage started
shooting and we hear one person was killed. Then he expected the Esama of Benin to
walk around his village without protection. I challenge Comrade Adams to use
his office as the state governor to harass the Esama then he will know that
small pikin no dey put pepper for mouth dey blow whistle.
My response to Victor Oshioke post on Edo Political Forum on Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/groups/Edopolitics/ In another footage, they showed that he was only on the queue for a photo section. They showed him coming out of the queue ahead of everyone to go and vote. In that footage he was shown bring out his thumb or pointing his thumb and walking towards the Edsiec officer from about 5 persons deep on the queue. It showed he was already out of the queue. So who is fooling who?
