MORE NEWS COMING FROM A CONTRIBUTOR TD Ogieva REPORTING FORM BENIN

INEC Declares Edo state won by PDP.
Central benin saw some demonstrations, but thankfully no burning of buildings, killings etc. some teargassing by police to apparently control crowds etc, but o reported deaths or shootings, thank God. Generally suburbs and hinterlands are relatively peacefull. the Inside gist is that the AC party apparently neglected the rural arears and concentrated on central benin in their campaniging / distribution of money. The PDP people were much smarter and covered a much wider breadth of the hinterlands, hence their powerfull showing. Both sides rigged where they could, but credit to INEC, they did disqualify outrageous results, and allowed observers from the major parties. The interesting twist to the story is that Governor lucky igbinedion of edo, apparently placed a lot of pdp henchmen under house arrest as he was backing Adams Oshiomole, the labour leader and AC candidate. This backfired as the foot soldiers ensured that they took control of their zones.
On a lighter note, the comming to power of prof Osunbor (governor elect) and Lucky imasuen (Previously us based successfull business man) may be a good thing. At least any thing will be better than the igbinedions. Our hearts however goes out to the labour leader who was favoured by the working mases........Reporting from benin...
