“Don’t Distract Otti with Talks of APC, 2027” – “Ikenga Gburugburu” Cautions Deputy Speaker, Ben. Kalu

Edo 2024: Of Mute Monday, Dancing Olumide And Astute Asue… A Choice So Simple.

The politics of Edo State Governorship contestation have been very intriguing since the return to civil rule in 1999. Very curiously however, the 2024 Edo State Governorship Election appears the simplest and the most predictable. Not in anyway denigrating the league of other contestants for the high office of Governor of Edo State, what is largely before us is a Three-horse race. We have Monday Okpebholo, the candidate of the All Progressive Congress APC, the Ruling Party at the Centre. We have Olumide Akpata, the candidate of the Labour Party LP. And we have Asue Ighodalo A.I, the candidate of…
