The Edo state governorship election holds on September 10th , 2016. The race is currently between two parties - the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and the All Progressives Congress, APC. Victory has been predicted for both parties by their loyal supporters but come Saturday or Sunday when the result is announced there will be only one winner.
Here are 4 reasons why the APC will win Edo state :
1. Buhari effect
Muhammadu Buhari today congratulated Godwin Obaseki ahead of Saturday's election - what do you think will happen on Saturday?. We are in an administration under which INEC and other organs of government which ought to be Independent are fully controlled by the President. President Buhari badly needs a win in Edo state if his party must gradually inch into other parts of South South Nigeria.
2. Oshiomhole's Political future
Edo state Goernor, Adams Oshiomhole will fight tooth and nails to make sure he is not replaced by the opposition. If APC loses Edo state to PDP, Oshiomhole loses his political relevance and the chance of getting that federal appointment he has been promised. Defeat also means that every aspect of Oshiomhole's tenure will be probed. Edo 2016 is a ''do or die'' affair for Oshiomhole.
3. Fragmented PDP
A house divided against itself cannot stand. The PDP is at war and chieftains are not prepared to work together to acomplish the smallest task - how much more an election? . PDP members will further sabotage their party on Saturday giving the APC an easy win
4. Edo has tried PDP before
Before Oshiomhole became Governor, Edo state had PDP Governors for about 10 years. Incompetence was the order of the day when PDP governed Edo state. Oshiomhole may have under-performed but he outperformed all previous governors of Edo state.
--------------------------
APC may be failing at the centre but it will certainly not lose Edo state.
