<h2>In a significant development following the contentious Edo State governorship election, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has agreed to allow Dr. Asue Ighodalo and his legal team to inspect critical election materials, including the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) devices. </h2>

This inspection is scheduled to take place at INEC’s Edo State Headquarters on Wednesday, October 9, 2024.

INEC’s decision arrives amid mounting public protests by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/news/politics/edo-poll-inec-denies-pdp-access-to-election-materials/5n7l5s5">pressure from Ighodalo’s legal team, </a>who have challenged the legitimacy of the election results.

Previously, INEC had reportedly blocked Ighodalo's access to the election materials, defying a court order that sanctioned the inspection.

However, a letter from Dr. Anugbom Onuoha, Edo State’s Resident Electoral Commissioner, dated October 8, clarified that INEC had always intended to comply with the court directive.

“INEC is committed to upholding transparency and integrity in the electoral process,” Onuoha stated, assuring that the inspection would go ahead as planned.

Dr. Ighodalo’s team views this decision as a crucial step in substantiating their claims of electoral manipulation.

With a deadline of just 48 hours remaining to submit their petition to the election tribunal, the inspection offers a narrow window for the PDP to gather evidence to support their case.

“This inspection is essential to revealing the irregularities we believe occurred, and we are prepared to pursue justice to its rightful conclusion,” a member of Ighodalo’s team commented.

Dr. Anthony Aziegbemin, State Chairman of the PDP, hailed INEC’s concession as “a win for democracy and the rule of law,” attributing the success to the unwavering support of Edo State’s residents.

He further expressed gratitude to those who protested in favour of Ighodalo’s pursuit of what the party calls “his stolen mandate.”

“Our confidence lies in the judiciary,” Aziegbemin stated. “We trust they will uphold the will of Edo’s people, who decisively chose Asue Ighodalo as their governor.”

<h3>Police suffers backlash over Edo poll</h3>

However, he also criticised the roles of the Nigerian Police and INEC, whom he accused of bias, stating, “While I have lost faith in these institutions, I am confident that justice will prevail.”

Aziegbemin reaffirmed the PDP’s commitment to continuing public demonstrations against alleged electoral misconduct, vowing to “remind Edo and all Nigerians that actions by the APC, the Nigerian Police, and INEC were illegal and unacceptable.”

According to him, “We are a proud and enlightened people, determined to reclaim our rightfully chosen leadership.”

As the inspection proceeds, Ighodalo’s team is optimistic about presenting evidence to the tribunal that could potentially overturn the election results.

This move from INEC represents a critical milestone in a heated post-election dispute, galvanising supporters and keeping the fight for transparency alive in Edo State.

<h3>In his first public statement following his defeat in the Edo State 2024 governorship election, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Asue Ighodalo expressed deep gratitude to his supporters while sharply criticising the election's conduct. </h3>

He lost to Senator Monday Okpebholo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, in a contest marred by controversy.

Speaking to his supporters on Monday, September 23, Ighodalo acknowledged the sacrifices made by the people of Edo State, many of whom, he said, defied the odds to vote for him.

"I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who has stood by us on this incredible journey," he stated, praising those who endured "the rains, intimidation, threats of violence, harassment, arrests and financial inducements" during the election process.

Ighodalo, who campaigned on a platform of creating a "Pathway to Prosperity for All," lamented what he described as an "unjust halt" to his campaign's progress, attributing his loss to forces working against the people's will.

"That day will forever be etched in our history as one of our darkest moments," he declared, adding that it was a day marked by the "brazen theft of our mandate."

Despite the outcome, Ighodalo struck a determined tone, encouraging his supporters to remain committed to the cause.

"The illusory triumph of evil over good is only temporary," he said, vowing to continue working towards a better Edo State.

"Our journey towards a prosperous Edo State does not end here; it is just beginning."

<h2>The Edo State election has brought about significant shifts in the political landscape, with clear winners and losers emerging from the contest.</h2>

As the dust settles, it becomes essential to analyse the impact of the election on various political actors and parties and on the broader socio-political fabric of the state.

1. Monday Okpebholo:

The most obvious winner is Monday Okpebholo, <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/news/politics/inec-declares-apcs-okpebholo-winner-of-edo-governorship-election/wrld63m">the governor-elect. </a>His victory solidifies his position as a rising star in Edo State politics, propelling him from relative obscurity to a commanding role in governance.

His campaign, which emphasised infrastructure development and economic revitalisation, resonated with voters tired of stagnation and eager for change.

Okpebholo's success is a personal triumph and a signal of the electorate's desire for a shift in leadership dynamics.

2. The All Progressives Congress (APC):

Okpebholo's victory is also significant for the APC, cementing the party's influence in the state.

Despite internal divisions within the party, the APC managed to unify behind Okpebholo, presenting a formidable challenge to the opposition.

His win reinforces the APC's hold in the region, giving the party momentum heading into future state and national elections.

The Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, undoubtedly emerged as one of the biggest winners. Though Shaibu had faced challenges and rifts with Governor Godwin Obaseki leading up to the election, his political manoeuvring allowed him to maintain his influence.&nbsp;

His defection from the PDP to the APC has been tipped as one of the moves that solidified the party's victory in the just-concluded election.

Shaibu's ability to balance loyalty to his party while managing internal disputes has positioned him favourably for future political roles within the state.

4. Adams Oshiomhole

Adams Oshiomhole welcomed new returnees to the Edo state APC chapter.

Former Edo State governor and key figure within the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, once again demonstrated his enduring political prowess. After a period of being sidelined, Oshiomhole has bounced back as a formidable political force.&nbsp;

His efforts in supporting key candidates in this election have solidified his standing within the party, restoring his influence in Edo politics.

5. Lawmakers Governor Obaseki Refused to Inaugurate

Another significant group of winners includes the lawmakers Governor Obaseki had refused to inaugurate during the last assembly. With the shifting political landscape, they've regained political relevance.

Many of these legislators, aligned with opposition factions, now have opportunities to pursue their political careers without the previous hurdles placed by Obaseki's administration.

Asue Ighodalo, the PDP governorship candidate faced a major political blow during this election.

Despite his background and influence in business circles, Ighodalo failed to secure the necessary backing and alliances needed to elevate his political standing in Edo State.

His loss underscores the complexities of transitioning from business to politics, particularly in the cutthroat environment of Edo's elections.

2. The People's Democratic Party (PDP):

The PDP, historically a dominant force in Edo State, has suffered a significant loss. This defeat could signal internal challenges within the party, particularly concerning its ability to connect with voters and present a cohesive strategy.

The loss has also raised questions about the PDP's leadership and relevance in the state's evolving political landscape.

3. Governor Godwin Obaseki:

Obaseki, the outgoing governor and a prominent figure within the PDP, emerges as a notable loser. His inability to secure a victory for his party casts doubt on his political influence and legacy in the state. As a two-term governor, Obaseki had hoped to position himself as a kingmaker, but this election has shown that his endorsement was not enough to sway the electorate.

4. Party Defectors:

Several high-profile defectors from the APC to the PDP, hoping to ride the wave of change, also suffered a loss. Their decision to switch allegiances was not rewarded at the ballot box, and many now find themselves politically sidelined.

<h2>As Edo State prepares for the leadership transition, the spotlight falls on Monday Okpebholo, the newly elected governor. </h2>

A relatively lesser-known figure in Nigerian politics, Okpebholo's victory has sparked curiosity about his background, policies, and vision for the state.

Here are five essential things to know about the governor-elect as he takes office.

<h2>1. Early life and academic background</h2>

Okpebholo was born on 29 August 1970 in the Udomi-Uwessan community of Irrua. He attended Udomi Community Primary School and Ujabhole Community Secondary School, both located in Uwesan Irrua, Esan Central Local Government Area.

He completed his secondary education in Jos, Plateau State, where he earned his senior school certificate.

Following this, he pursued a degree in Business Administration from the University of Abuja, where he earned a Master's in Policy and Leadership Studies.

<h2>2. Grassroots Beginnings</h2>

Monday Okpebholo hails from a humble background, having grown up in the rural communities of Edo State.

His early life was shaped by the struggles of many Edo families, giving him firsthand experience with the challenges facing ordinary citizens.

Okpebholo's grassroots upbringing is often cited as a driving force behind his commitment to social welfare and rural development.

He frequently speaks about the need for inclusive growth, ensuring that even the most remote communities benefit from state development programs.

<h2>3. Political Rise</h2>

Unlike some of his predecessors who were prominent political figures before their elections, Okpebholo's political journey has been gradual.

Initially involved in local politics, he served as a councillor and later ascended to the position of a local government chairman. His practical experience at the grassroots level laid the foundation for his eventual rise to state-level governance.

His political rise is seen as a testament to hard work and perseverance rather than a political dynasty or privilege.

<h2>4. Strong Advocate for Agricultural Development</h2>

A significant part of Okpebholo's campaign focused on revitalising Edo State's agricultural sector.

He views agriculture as a critical driver of economic growth and job creation, particularly for the state's youth.

Okpebholo has pledged to implement policies that will provide subsidies to farmers, improve access to markets, and introduce modern farming techniques.

His focus on agriculture has resonated strongly with rural voters, many of whom rely on farming as their primary source of income.

<h2>5. Philanthropy </h2>

Through the Monday Okpebholo Foundation, he has allocated resources towards charitable initiatives such as scholarships, healthcare, and vocational training for disadvantaged communities.

Okpebholo has been a strong proponent of empowering women and youth through his policies.

He believes that Edo State's future hinges on investing in the younger generation and promoting gender equality across all sectors.

His administration aims to launch programs that offer training, mentorship, and financial support to young entrepreneurs and women, helping to build a more inclusive economy.

As Edo State prepares for the leadership transition, the spotlight falls on Monday Okpebholo, the newly elected governor.

<h2>The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Olukayode Egbetokun, has announced the enforcement of a movement restriction in Edo State ahead of the governorship election scheduled for Saturday, September 21, 2024.</h2>

This measure ensures a peaceful, transparent, and credible election process.

In a statement released by the Force spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi, on Friday, September 20, the IGP directed that all vehicular movements on roads and waterways, as well as other forms of transportation, be restricted from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the election day.

The directive exempts essential services such as accredited media, electoral officials, ambulances, and emergency responders.

Egbetokun also announced strict security measures, including a ban on security aides accompanying VIPs to polling booths and collation centres.

He emphasised that unauthorised security personnel and the use of sirens by unapproved vehicles would not be tolerated.

"The Inspector-General has put in place comprehensive security measures to ensure a calm and secure environment for voters," Adejobi stated.

"All political parties, candidates, and their supporters are urged to adhere to the law to avoid sanctions."

Additionally, special provisions will be made for People with Disabilities, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and the elderly.

The police urged residents to report any suspicious activities via designated control room numbers and warned against prank calls.

Egbetokun reassured the public that the Nigeria Police Force remains committed to safeguarding the integrity of the electoral process.

"We will uphold a fair and peaceful election," he asserted.

<h2>Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki has sparked controversy by asserting that the upcoming election is a "do or die" affair, insisting that the stakes are extraordinarily high. </h2>

In a recent interview, Obaseki explained, "It's a do or die because if they do, we die. If they do, we die," highlighting his concerns over what he describes as the opposition party's reckless behaviour.

Obaseki expressed <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/news/politics/obaseki-declares-edo-governorship-election-do-or-die/lz2vy4y">no regrets about his statement,</a> citing alarming events leading up to the election.

"Just drive down the line," he urged, emphasising the apparent disparity in security resources between himself and former governors.

He pointed out that while he is a sitting governor, a former governor campaigning for the opposition enjoys more security, including police helicopters.

When asked about specific incidents, Obaseki provided disturbing <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/news/politics/edo-2024-gov-obaseki-sounds-alarm-over-ongoing-arrests-of-pdp-leaders/sg5rbjr">accounts of violence and intimidation. </a>

"As of 2 a.m. today in Agena Bode, two people were kidnapped," he revealed, claiming armed policemen are being deployed across the state to suppress political dissent.

"You can't run in the state," he lamented, adding that police investigations seem biased against his party.

<h3>Obaseki laments police bias</h3>

The governor expressed frustration at the police's handling of recent crimes, particularly an investigation into a police officer's murder linked to an opposition event.

"The police, the IGP, said he was investigating, and that's why he held people in detention without trial for over three weeks," Obaseki said, questioning the fairness of the investigation.

Obaseki's comments have drawn criticism from opposition figures, who suggest he is merely attempting to deflect attention from his party's potential loss in the election.

However, he remains steadfast, asserting that the opposition orchestrates plans to rig the elections.

"I can assure you, you're in Benin, you will see," he promised, urging voter vigilance.

<h2>Comrade Kennedy Iyere, the Accord Party candidate for the Edo State governorship election, has officially withdrawn from the race, citing a higher calling to serve Nigeria nationally. </h2>

The humanitarian activist, known for his work addressing food insecurity, announced his decision just 24 hours before the election.

Iyere's withdrawal comes amid internal party conflicts, with accusations of a conspiracy involving his running mate, Bright Enabulele.

According to Iyere, these internal struggles pushed him to focus on broader national goals.

"Serving as a governor will place limitations on me," Iyere said, explaining that he is now committed to serving Nigeria at large.

<h3>Iyere targets national development</h3>

His national focus centres around his 'Food4All Initiative', a program aimed at achieving food security and creating mass employment through the 'One-Family-One-Farmer Scheme'.

He has already presented the initiative to President Bola Tinubu and is working closely with the federal government on plans to launch it in October 2024.

Comrade Iyere's vision extends beyond the governorship. He plans to assist the federal government in creating a roadmap for economic inclusion and youth engagement through social intervention programs.

"Our intervention programmes will enhance opportunities for youth entrepreneurship in multiple sectors," Iyere said.

With his focus now on creating over six million youth and women entrepreneurs, Iyere urged Edo voters to choose wisely, shun violence, and vote their conscience.

He remains optimistic that his efforts at the federal level will contribute to Nigeria's economic recovery and poverty alleviation.

<h2>The race for Edo State's governorship seat has gained momentum as three high-profile candidates from the state's major political parties gear up for a competitive election.</h2>

These candidates, who represent the All Progressives Congress (APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Labour Party (LP), bring different backgrounds, visions, and political strategies to the table.

This analysis examines Senator Monday Okpebholo, Asue Ighodalo, and Olumide Akpata in more detail as they vie for the leadership of Edo State.

<h3>Senator Monday Okpebholo - All Progressives Congress (APC)</h3>

Senator Okpebholo, the APC candidate, is a prominent political figure in Edo State with a solid legislative background.

As a senator representing Edo Central, Okpebholo has built a reputation for championing rural development and infrastructure projects within his constituency.

His political career, marked by effective Senate representation, has positioned him as a strong contender for the governorship position.

Okpebholo's campaign is centred around progress and aligning the state with Abuja, even though one of his recent outings was marred by an<a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/news/apcs-guber-candidate-under-fire-for-insecurity-pledge-in-edo/x435zvs"> unknowing gaffe that sparked many controversies that questioned his competence.</a>

As an APC member, he promises to build on the achievements of the current administration, which has been instrumental in stabilising governance in Edo.

He has vowed to enhance agricultural productivity, focusing on Edo's rich farmlands to boost the economy and create jobs for the youth.

His grassroots support base, particularly in rural areas, gives him a strategic advantage, as he understands the needs of underserved communities.

However, his critics argue that his legislative accomplishments have been modest, and they question whether he can deliver the transformative change the state requires.

One of Okpebholo's key challenges will be overcoming the factional divisions within the APC.

Internal party disputes have often hindered the party's electoral success in Edo, and Okpebholo will need to unite the various factions to present a cohesive front.

Additionally, he faces the task of swaying urban voters, who have shown increasing support for opposition parties.

<h3>Asue Ighodalo - Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)</h3>

Ighodalo, the PDP's candidate, brings a different profile to the race. A respected lawyer and corporate executive, Ighodalo has extensive experience in governance, having served on various government advisory boards and corporate boards.

His expertise in finance and governance makes him an appealing candidate for voters seeking economic reform and effective management of the state's resources.

Ighodalo's campaign focuses on improving Edo State's infrastructure, particularly health, education, and transport.

In one of his recent interviews on Channels TV's prime-time programme, Politics Today, Ighodalo revealed that Edo State has the potential to thrive in agriculture, tourism, manufacturing, and the technology sector, which will provide over 50,000 jobs annually.

He promises to implement policies that will attract investments and foster private-sector growth.

As a candidate with <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/news/politics/ighodalo-takes-lead-in-edo-2024-pre-election-survey/t5tfqh5">strong public and private connections</a>, Ighodalo emphasises his ability to create partnerships that will benefit the state.

His candidacy also enjoys the backing of influential PDP stakeholders, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, which could help him garner widespread support.

However, Ighodalo faces a significant challenge in shaking off the PDP's mixed legacy in Edo State. The PDP has previously held power in the state, but allegations of corruption and inefficiency marred its administration.

Ighodalo will need to convince voters that he represents a break from the party's past and that he can deliver on his promises of good governance.

Additionally, while he is a strong candidate in urban areas, where his corporate image resonates, he may struggle to connect with rural voters, who tend to favour candidates with grassroots appeal.

<h3>Olumide Akpata - Labour Party (LP)</h3>

Labour Party governorship candidate in Edo State, Olumide Akpata [X:@OlumideAkpata]

The Labour Party's candidate, Akpata, is a relative newcomer to the political arena but is well-known within the legal community.

Akpata, the immediate past president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), gained national recognition for his leadership and reformist agenda during his tenure.

His decision to run for governor has energised Edo youth and professional classes, who view him as a fresh and progressive candidate.

Akpata's campaign is anchored on reform, transparency, and a new direction for Edo State.

He promises to overhaul the state's governance systems by implementing accountability measures and rooting out corruption. Akpata has also positioned himself as a candidate for the youth, promising to create job opportunities through technology and entrepreneurship initiatives.

His ability to connect with young voters and professionals could be a game-changer in the election, especially as the Labour Party continues to gain ground as a third force in Nigerian politics.

However, Akpata faces an uphill battle in terms of building a political structure capable of challenging the more established APC and PDP candidates.

While his popularity is undeniable, particularly among the urban electorate, he lacks the political machinery that his opponents possess.

Additionally, the Labour Party's influence in Edo State remains limited, and Akpata will need to rally significant grassroots support to make a substantial impact.

The race for Edo State's governorship seat has gained momentum as three high-profile candidates from the state's major political parties gear up for a competitive election.
