Edo: What Caused The Peaceful Outcome Of The Election & Federal Might Absence?
From all indications, Obaseki has won this election but two things stood out unexpectedly 1. It was generally peaceful 2. There was zero federal might influence. What do you think is the reason behind this? I would hazard a guess and I am open to correction. A: The U.S visa ban restricted federal influence, which Oshiomole, Ganduje and Tinubu were banking on. I was on twitter when I read that order has been given that there should be no interference in the election. This was why, after votes at the PU were done, all security agents, from Army to Police and others LEFT. B. The Oba of Benin meeting. Before the election, Oba invited both contestants for a meeting where he specifically warned against violence in whatever form. I often read from outsiders that Oba of Benin is just like any oba out there but what majority do not know is the weight the Oba of Benin carries among his people and this election further proved that. Since the APC took power, this is the most peaceful election we have had… The question is WHY? Please join the discussion and I would like to learn from other persons and correct me where you feel I am wrong. |
