Edo Central Senatorial Seat: Odi Okojie Remains Numero Uno By: Odi Okojie Media Team As the political tempo in Esanland, otherwise politically delineated as Edo Central Senatorial district increases, as we prepare for electing who represents Edo Central at the Senate, several conspiracy theories have been, and are still being put together and sold to some persons that easily believe anything. However, the good news, is that, Hon. Prince Odianosen Okojie, the member representing Esan Esan South East/North East federal constituency on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) still remains the NUMERO UNO...the number one. One of the qualities that Esan people genuinely interested in the betterment of Esanland will look out for in choosing who represents Edo Central at the Senate, is the evidence of a true representation. We all know that facts abound that, Hon. Prince Odianosen Okojie remains the NUMERO UNO with respect to showing evidence of a true representative of the people...

Edo Central Senatorial Seat: Why APC Must Allow Odi Okojie's Winning Streak  By Odi Okojie Media Team Immediately after the governorship election victory of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the September 21st  election, a revelation was unfolded, which will no doubt fancy the APC faithful and supporters why it must have been a strategic that indeed worked against the opposition party.  We're very sure that our readers are already inquisitive and yearning to know what was the strategy? How did the APC come about the strategy, who formulated it and how was it deployed and lastly who revealed it? Well, those who revealed it seems to be more important to us in the context on this piece. And indeed the revealer and fomulator of the flawless strategy was no other than the greatest political master planner of this democratic dispensation, His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Recalled after that after the APC victory in the Edo 2024 Governorship election, the President received in audience our Governor, His Excellency Senator Monday Okpebholo and his Deputy, Rt Honorable Dennis Idahosa who were then still addressed Governor-elect, alongside party chieftains.  Addressing them, Mr President made a salient remark when he said, "Before the election we were very confident of winning because while others were busy running around we carefully came up with a winning strategy by choosing people who have contested and won elections in recent times as our candidates".  Indeed the president let the cat out of the bag regarding  the winning strategy of the APC In that election, which is ensuring that somebody who has contested election in recent times, was fielded as the party's candidate. The reason is very simple, for someone who has already contested and won elections in recent past, it becomes an added advantage when such a person emerge as a party's candidate in any election because he already has a certain amount of voters who believe in him and the advantage increases when the person has not only win an election but is also a performer. It is on this note we believe that the Edo Central Senatorial ticket of the APC be given to one person who is indeed a winner and as well as a performer And this person is no other than the incumbent member representating Esan South-East/Esan North-East federal constituency at the Federal House of Representative, Hon. Odi Okojie. Even before Prince Odi Okojie threws his hat into partisan politics, he has long been at home with his Esan brothers and sisters, both at home and in the Diaspora; he's familiar with the challenges confronting Esan land. Odi Okojie and his amiable wife, Mrs. Mercy Johnson-Odi Okojie are always with Esan people in his Uromi country home, ministering to their needs as well as impacting the lives of those around.   It was his experience engaging his people that prompted him to venture into politics so as to create a wider platform to reach out to more people at the community, Local Government Area, Constituency and Senatorial District.  This is why the majority of people of Edo Central Senatorial District are already welcoming the senatorial ambition of Prince Odi Okojie to enable him replicate all he has been doing for the people of Esan South-East/Esan North-East federal constituency in the entire Esanland. This is why we are appealing to the Edo Central caucus of the APC to ensure that they field the man who has contested and won an election recently and is at home with his people, as Prince Odi Okojie has continually enjoyed the goodwill of the people of Edo Central Senatorial District because they see him as someone they can access anytime any day. Support, nominate and vote Hon. Prince Odi Okojie for Senate, Edo Central Senatorial District.

This admittance of defeat became glaring,  as the Star Witness and counsel to the PDP and Asue Ighodalo told the court, that they are only challenging the electoral outcome in 765 Polling Units out of the 4,198 Polling Units in the state, representing an insignificant 16.7% of the entire polling units in the state. This statement by the PDP counsel and their witnesses has further validated claims in many quarters that the PDP has no case but merely wasting the court’s time, all in a bid to stay relevant. The number of polling units being challenged by the PDP is insignifica...
