Edo election: Nnamdi Kanu reacts to Obaseki’s reelection, identifies who is responsible for governor’s victory

Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has identified the force behind the free and fair election in Edo State.

The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki was reelected after he defeated his closest rival, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

However, Kanu believes that the threat of visa ban recently made by the US Ambassador to Nigeria, Mary Beth Leonard was responsible for the free and fair election in Edo State.

And displaying Mrs. Leonard’s picture on his Facebook page, the IPOB leader said, “This is the courageous US Ambassador to Nigeria that delivered the first truly free and fair elections in the history of Nigeria in Edo State yesterday. Something the EU & UK have failed to do for over 60 years.

“This amazing woman imposed ordinary visa ban on perennial election riggers and they quickly behaved themselves. Add a bit of Nyesom Wike and the tenacity of Igodomigodo and you have the perfect result.”
