Excerpts: *Sir, you contested the last Senatorial election in Edo state and lost. What’s your overview of that election? What’s your opinion on the outcome? How satisfied are you?* The starting point is to pay supreme obeisance to God for giving me the opportunity for the privilege of flying the APC flag in the Edo South senatorial elections that has come and gone. It was an election I gave all my best and the APC had no reasons at all to have lost that seat or any of the seats for that matter within the political hemisphere of Edo South senatorial district.

Patrick Obahiagbon an opportunity to be at the Nigerian Senate is beginning to emerge. Reliable information from party members faithful to Oshiomhole and Obaseki indicates organized sabotage. Journalists on election duty in parts of Edo South have corroborated claims by some party faithfuls that across the district, loyalists of former governorship aspirants worked against the party's interest. It is only a matter of concern that the governor of Edo State gets an authentic report from the State Security Architecture or the Department of State Service, where necessary, testimonies from party faithfuls to help separate the wolves from the sheep in the party. It is an open secret that in Oredo local government, Major General Charles Airhiavbere (Rtd.) invited PDP mobilizers to his house, handed them logistics meant for APC with a simple instructio...
