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
