After 48 hours of dumbfounded massive election rigging in Edo State I can constatively assert that Nigeria have a long way to go, judging from the reaction of some people and media reports.
It is now clear that our media houses are unreliable, they may have connive with Edo State Government to cover the mess that stinks to the cloud during the last SELECTION instead of election. Oshiomole mess is been swallowed in media houses.
Whereby reports on actual facts that transpired during the election was twisted in favor of the Government. Oshiomole did not tell Nigerians how he converted Deputy Governors office to Inec Logistic Dept., he did not tell Nigerians that instead of one man one vote we have one man one gun, one man ten thousand ballot papars.
It is a new practice in Nigeria that you vote and wait till it is counted but in Edo State it tooks them 24 hours to count votes for LGA. Oshiomole did not tell Nigerians that it took EDSIEC 10 hours to convey electoral materials from Benin City to Uromi as against normal 1 hour drive instead he was busy accusing Hon. Mike for what he knows not. In his usual manner, he have started accusing the Esama of Benin, Chief of staff for what they may know not. We all saw how he blasted Inec, ranted to high heavens during the last Governorship election even while the election was ongoing... This is a situation were our suppose role models have become worst than those they criticized daily.
It is grotesque and pathetic.. I am filled with consternation and at the action of APC Government in Edo State who deliberately hijack the peoples voice and replace it with theirs. The imposition of candidates on the party was further expanded to the good will of voiceless people of Edo State with the help of organise media network... I am dis appointed!
