How Senator Adams Oshiomhole Sold Out Edo North's Trust by Blocking Mandatory Electronic Transmission of Results to IREV

By Iyamah Prince | February 6, 2026

Leadership demands trust, transparency, and unwavering accountability to the people. True representation means championing policies that empower citizens and safeguard their voices especially in our elections.

Yet, Senator Adams Oshiomhole, our representative from Edo North, has failed this sacred duty.

In the recent Electoral Act Amendment Bill (2026), he joined forces with others in the Senate to defeat the critical proposed amendment to Clause 60, Subsection 3. This clause would have made the electronic transmission of election results from polling units directly to INEC's Result Viewing Portal (IREV) mandatory and real-time—ensuring transparency, reducing manipulation, and restoring public confidence in our electoral system.

By rejecting this reform, they have robbed millions of Nigerians including the good people of Edo North of the chance for credible, tamper-proof elections. Instead, they preserved the old discretionary system that leaves room for doubt and disputes.

This act reminds me of the biblical story of Jacob and Esau: "The voice was the voice of Jacob, but the hands were the hands of Esau." Just as Jacob deceived the blind Isaac to steal his brother's blessing, Senator Oshiomhole has deceived the trusting voters of Edo North, trading our collective interest in free and fair elections for narrow, selfish political calculations.

Our hopes as ordinary men and women—farmers, traders, teachers, youth—have been dashed by the very person sent to protect them.

Enough is enough.

The time has come for the people of Edo North to rise with one voice and one will. We must demand accountability, reject betrayal, and effect real change through our votes, our unity, and our collective political power.

Edo North deserves a leader who fights for us, not against our democratic future.

*THANK YOU, GOOD PEOPLE OF EDO STATE, ADC LOVERS AND DEFENDERS OF DEMOCRACY*

The African Democratic Congress, ADC, Edo State want to heartily thank the good, gallant and Democracy loving people of Edo State, who yesterday demonstrated admirable love for Democracy and a bravado resistance against oppressive, anti - Democratic and malevolent politics of the APC as promised by their State Chairman in a viral video above.

Having failed woefully as a Party and as a government, the APC has perfected the policy of intimidation and threats against the Opposition. But Nigerian people are not going to be intimidated. Edo State *ADC CANNOT BE INTIMIDATED* Or smoked and fired out. The battle is not ADC's. The battle is God's and Edo People's own. Yesterday's test run exemplified what is to come, if these rejected people don't hide their faces in shame!

*We thank our people.*

We are calling the attention of the President, and members of the security agencies to invite Jarrett Tenebe and ADC to give assurances to Nigerians that their HATRED for Peter and for the ADC as Jarrett said, will not make them burn down Edo State.

In ADC, we don't HATE. WE LOVE! . Check out our LOGO! But we know how to treat your F### Up! Be assured! Yesterday, the promised smoke was put off by Edo people! Tomorrow, the planned rigging will be put down by the same people. Promise!

Oshiomhole and the Colonisation Mission in Edo North (Part 2)

By

Isah Abdulazeez, PhD.

The unfolding political reality in Edo North today confirms the fears many long held but were hesitant to voice. What was once a carefully balanced rotational arrangement has gradually degenerated into a system of dominance, entitlement, and political capture. Nowhere is this more evident than in the continued occupation and attempted consolidation of the Edo North senatorial seat by the incumbent, Senator Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole.

If the spirit of equity that birthed Edo North still holds any meaning, then the next logical destination of the senatorial seat is Akoko Edo. Anything short of this is a betrayal of collective conscience.

Akoko Edo has waited. It has complied. It has respected the unwritten but sacred agreement of rotation that binds Etsako, Akoko Edo, and Owan together. While others have enjoyed repeated tenures and expanded influence, Akoko Edo has been kept at the margins, expected to remain silent while power circulates within a narrow political class. This is not unity. It is exploitation masked as cooperation.

The insistence of the incumbent on a second term represents the peak of this colonisation agenda. At a time when moral restraint and statesmanship are required, what Edo North is witnessing instead is raw political ambition. Oshiomhole’s continued grip on the seat is less about service and more about control. Less about representation and more about relevance. Less about Edo North and more about personal ambition.

Rather than act as a bridge among the constituent communities, the incumbent has positioned himself as a political gatekeeper deciding who rises and who remains perpetually subdued. Strategic positions, influence, and opportunities are increasingly concentrated within a tight circle of loyalists and relations. This approach does not strengthen democracy. It suffocates it.

Akoko Edo’s exclusion is therefore not accidental. It is a byproduct of a political style that thrives on domination. A style that sees rotational justice as an inconvenience and fairness as a threat. Under this arrangement, Edo North risks becoming a territory ruled by entitlement rather than consensus.

But history has shown that no political empire built on injustice lasts forever.

Returning the senatorial seat to Akoko Edo is not an act of hostility toward any group. It is an act of restoration. It is a reaffirmation that Edo North still believes in fairness, shared destiny, and equal stakeholding. It is a rejection of the dangerous notion that leadership is hereditary or that power must endlessly recycle within one bloc.

Oshiomhole’s era should have been one of mentorship and transition. Instead, it has become one of accumulation and resistance to change. Edo North must now decide whether it will continue down this path of marginalisation or courageously correct its course.

The colonisation mission must end.

Edo North must reclaim its soul, its balance, and its future.
And that future demands that the senatorial seat returns to Akoko Edo where justice, equity, and true unity can begin anew.
