Edo 2024: Esan Agenda And The Obidient Route A Need For Caution By Osigwe Omo-Ikirodah....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The general election don finish and now everybody don dey count their gains and losses , ehh we understand say as people dey jubilate say dem win na so others don cut rope say na lie na stolen mandate.

You see this presidential election wey just pass so really bring out the hypocrisy for Nigerians, you know say before now the amount of people wey dey come out come vote even dey over populated na the BVAS come really bring out the true state of things, that na why even as Nigerians nack teeth reach say no level dem don ready for change , yet majority never ready, dem no dey vote…CONTINUE READING

You see, the reason I cited Obidient in my headline is simple: anyone with common sense would have realised that a coalition of the PDP, LP, and NNPP would have crushed the APC; in fact, the APC and Tinubu would have been humiliated and thrown out of politics.

However, when individual interests take precedence over group interests, we see the outcomes that we did. This goes beyond threatening Nigerians into supporting your candidate because you believe that your candidate is deserving of victory due to equity, fair play, and justice.

Today how e come be? If dem like talk from now till Jericho, Tinubu don win and the only thing to take home from here na LESSON. So make una dey play,just dey play, dem say who chop bellyful must surely hungry.

The Esan Agenda, which is based on equality, justice, and fair play, is the focus of attention in Edo State as it prepares for the 2024 gubernatorial elections. To be honest, if we go back to the commencement of this fourth republic, we will see that Edo Central has not fared well, whereas Edo South has had or will have their way for 16 years at the end of Obaseki’s mandate.

Edo North had the saddle for 8 years under Adams Oshiomhole’s administration, but Edo Central had it for only one year during Osunbor’s stewardship.

Unfortunately, the social media proponents of the Esan Agenda, like the Obidient movement, have shown themselves to be not only unruly but also intolerant of other people’s differing points of view. They have engaged in name-calling, social media blocking, Cyber bullying, and a number of other behaviors that should cause great concern to well-meaning Edo People.

Before I continue, let me clarify that I wholeheartedly support the Esan Agenda, which is why I want to warn supporters against following the Obidient route because doing so would result in a loss similar to how the Obidient Movement suffered.

Tinubu never could have predicted that he would have been so hated a few months before the election due to the numerous propaganda launched at him; the only way Tinubu could navigate and win was because of the relationships he had formed over the years. Politics is about numbers and lobbying.

If the proponents of the Esan Agenda are not careful, they will suffer the same fate as the Obidient: “dem say na fly wey no dey hear word they follow dead body enter grave.” You know, the Esan people need every vote they can get and ought to heed advise rather than using threats and intimidation as a tool, as the Obidient did...CONTINUE READING

Oredo Local Government controls the equivalent of the entire Esan Central vote, giving Edo South an advantage in the polls.

Edo South is driven by the youths…that is the Obidient has a strong hold on Edo South and who they support will likely secure the seat and this time around Obi is not on the ballot so their allegiance would be based on who has the capacity to perform.

Obi developed into a movement because many people feel he has the ability to turn our nation’s struggles around.

Now, the canvassers for the Esan Agenda should be aware that in politics, arrogance always precedes a fall. I’ve heard a lot of people assert that Esans predominate in the populations of Egor, Ikpoba Okha, Oredo, and other Edo South regions that we all discuss.

To put it another way, they hold the same beliefs as the Obidient, who thought that because Igbos were present everywhere, Obi would win Sokoto, Katsina, Kano, Borno, and other key Northern States.

It’s terrible that they’ve begun to use blackmail against other senatorial districts in the state, as if it was their fault they were left behind.

The bulk of applicants, who are surprisingly over 40 at the time of writing, have done nothing for their communities and yet they are peddling the card of equity and fairness.

I only hope, as it was in Lagos, that the Binis do not perceive the aspiration as a danger to their supremacy in Edo State, because whoever Edo South collaborates with would produce the Governor.

Esan Agenda supporters should concentrate on connecting with Edo South and Edo North. They should look for a strong candidate to support who has a network across the three geopolitical regions.

It only takes a slim majority to win the elections. The popularity of the candidate is what will deliver victory, and because no other elections will be held on the same day, it is critical that who has the grassroots spread is presented because the two major political parties, APC and PDP, as well as the upcoming LP, can never have all of their aspirants from Esan Land.

Learn from history. Any political party would have an advantage if it chose its governorship candidates from various senatorial districts. This is similar to the recent presidential election, where the PDP planned to have a North vs. South conflict until Peter Obi of the LP arrived and threw the plan off course.

Who blinks first in the contest between Esan Central and Edo South? Since winning elections is the only goal of political parties, they must use every trick in the book.

A comprehensive examination of the most recent presidential elections reveals that Obi was Atiku and the PDP’s albatross, while Tinubu was the recipient of a narrow victory thanks to the non-challant stances of the other major parties.

How the Esan Agenda manages the vast number of hopefuls from the district remains to be seen, as many must be disgruntled after their own primaries and may work against the Esan Agenda’s interests, just as the G5 did against the PDP.

But, as is typical of Nigerians, these same people would lash out at me for simply expressing the obvious, and they would forget I am only a consultant offering advice and also selling my product, but he who has ears would undoubtedly hear.

Wetin Benin man hate pass for e life na to carry SHOULDER UP for am.

My name na Osigwe Om0-Ikirodah and I am a media consultant , ‘Soldier come, soldier go, but barrack remains‘
