Tinubu On Parade As Nigerians Distil Edo Result

By Emmnauel Adigwe

Many Nigerians have taken to the social media to shade the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu saying that voters in Edo State were bold to shake off his influence in making their choice in the governorship election in the state.

GWG recalls that prior to the election Tinubu had urged Edo voters to reject Governor Obaseki.

The statement by Tinubu sparked outrage as many believed that it would hurt the APC candidate in the election, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.

Following the announcement of the results some Nigerians took to the micro-blogging platform to assert that the choice of who should be governor of Edo State was the preserve of the people in Edo State.

GWG presents some of their comments:

Alabaster Box @ThobiVictor wrote: “Edo people know better than being yoked to the bullion vans landlord of Bourdillon. ‘Edo No Be Lagos’ has been the message to Tinubu from Edolites since Obaseki. “

D A N E E ➐@Danee_nk wrote: “Lagosians, you too can be free. If you’re interested though.”

David Hundeyin@DavidHundeyin wrote: “Bold of you to assume that Lagosians understand what freedom is. Statistically, most Lagos voters are not old enough to have ever known anything other than the Bourdillon Imperial Secret Cult.”

Chika Agu@Tshyka wrote: “I want Obaseki to win so that Lagosians believe that they too, can be free.”

Usifo@MrUsifo wrote: “Edo is deciding emphatically. I didn’t dare to hope but it glimmers in my soul now. The karanja of Iyamho has to be buried.”

A Twitter user was of the opinion that the former governor of Lagos State, Ambode should have fought too like Governor Obaseki instead of accepting his fate and bowing out of the governorship race after he lost the primaries in the All Progressive Congress.

Usifo@MrUsifo wrote: “Still a long way to go. But I always said one thing. Win or lose, they must respect Obaseki and Phillip. Dogged fighters. Not like that coward Ambode that faded into obscurity at the slightest whistle from Bourdillon.”

Kalakuta Republic@Huncho104 wrote: “Have you ever seen the Goblin in Bourdillon make a statement about the level of injustice, poverty and insecurity ravaging the Country? No! But when it comes to issues affecting the extension of his political empire, he is giving public service announcement.”
