The reason for revisiting this short essay is born from the desire to
express my opinion on Edo State gubernatorial election that has just been conducted. However, I wish to also analyse the history of Nigeria election. In the most recent election of Edo state observers speaks of a disaster that rocked the ruling party , on one side of this disaster there was the party chairman of the All Progressive Congress party caucus Dr. Adams Oshiomole and on the other hand
governor Governor Obaseki. The high point of this conflict was when the strain in relationship that occurred during the election year,resulted in Chief Obaseki and Oshiomole parting ways . Obaseki moved to PDP, People Democratic Party, while Oshiomole , leader and symbol of the APC, learnt his support to Pastor Ize-Iyamu. However , recent result from the Independent Electoral Commissions , INCE has reproduce Obaseki as elected governor of Edo State . But one thing stands out in the process to the election. Obaseki who is suppose to be the incumbent governor was in the Opposition while Ize-Iyamu who was in opposition1 was like the sitting governor, ironically he was the incumbent governor for about6 months . 2 The following research would make use of the series of events already listed above as set of facts to aid in study of our object . The object is very important because in every purported bodyof knowledge or study with claim to autonomy or separate identity , scholars of such knowledge must specify its object in a teleological manner . 3 The essence of a credible election is so that there could be peace and meaningful development , in Africa and even beyond
