I disagree with Ize-Iyamu. This concluded election was credible and fair but not perfect. His failures started from the day he joined a clueless and aimless party who lacks political ideology to govern a state. They are only bitter about everything and could not sell their manifestoes to the good people of Edo State. Gov. Obaseki’s victory on Saturday could be attributed to the sympathy votes that both Oshiomhole and Tinubu had inadvertently invoked by the roles they played ahead of the election. Looking at the lesson to learn from Oshiomhole side of the political debacle, it would have been better for Oshiomhole if he had heeded calls from eminent Nigerians that he should stop pursuing Obaseki.
