Edolites React As Akpata Emerges Victorious In The Most Popular Edo Online Poll With 48% Of Total Votes

Written By Oshiobugie John

In the past hours, Olumide Osaigbovo Akpata and his gubernatorial candidacy under the Labour Party have been dominating internet discussions after he emerged as the winner of an online poll organized by Edo Pride, a renowned blog dedicated to promoting Edo’s rich culture and heritage.

Akpata soared above the competition in the online poll, where approximately 5000 Edo residents cast their votes, securing a commanding 48% of the total votes and leaving the remaining three main candidates to split the rest. The results vividly demonstrate that the former NBA president is both deeply cherished at the grassroots level and highly favored online. Could it be his innovative ideas, desperately needed at a time when Edo State suffers from a lack of basic amenities, quality education, proactive healthcare, robust infrastructure, and dignified leadership? Or is it his impeccable track record in both public and private administration that propelled him ahead of the other candidates?

With the announcement of these results, social media has been buzzing with excitement over Akpata’s resounding victory. Many users view his win as expected, while others express disappointment at those who voted for candidates from the parties that have contributed to Nigeria’s setbacks over the past twenty-four years.

Take a look at some of the reactions below:
