As Edo State electorate goes to the poll on Saturday to elect who will govern them for the next four years, Senator Neda Imasuen said the political fight between the main opposition All Progressives Congress and the ruling Peoples Democratic Party in the state will give an edge to the Labour Party.
The Senator representing Edo South Senatorial District said the two leading parties have failed the people of the state in the past 16 years, hence the state needs a fresh and trustworthy person like Olumide Akpata.
Senator Neda Imasuen said what is currently on ground in Edo State today is a clear indication that they need a change of government.
The Labour Party senator was also concerned with the way and manner Governor Godwin Obaseki is fighting with the Benin traditional authority.
“Nobody fights Oba of Benin and go free. It’s a clear situation here in Edo State that Governor Godwin Obaseki is fighting our Oba. No Benin man will tolerate that from anybody, not even the Obaseki.
“And if you go around the state today, you will know that the Obedient is everywhere, just the way it is in 2023 general elections. I can assure you that Labour Party will win this Governorship Election in Edo State.”
On whether he’s pledging loyalty to his former boss, Senator Matthew Urhoghide, Senator Neda Imasuen said Urhoghide remained his mentor and he will continue to give him that.
He said in politics, he may differ but he will always remain a loyal person to Senator Urhoghide.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has officially been sworn in for a seventh consecutive term after securing victory in the country’s disputed January elections, extending his nearly four-decade rule.
Tight security was observed across Kampala ahead of the inauguration ceremony, with armoured vehicles and security operatives deployed around key areas. Authorities said the measures were put in place to maintain order during the event.
Museveni, 81, was declared winner of the presidential election with more than 70 percent of the vote and is expected to remain in office until 2031. His main challenger, Bobi Wine, rejected the outcome, alleging widespread electoral malpractice including ballot stuffing. Electoral officials denied the accusations and maintained that the poll was credible.
Bobi Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, later fled Uganda, claiming he feared for his safety and accusing the government of targeting opposition figures.
Museveni first took power in 1986 after leading a rebel movement and has since remained one of Africa’s longest-serving leaders. Analysts believe this latest term could potentially be his last, although he has not publicly indicated any plans to step down.
Attention has also turned to Museveni’s son, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who is widely seen as a possible successor. However, the military chief has faced criticism over controversial social media posts directed at opposition politicians.
At least 100 civilians were killed in a Nigerian military airstrike on a crowded market in Tumfa, Zurmi Local Government Area of Zamfara State, northwest Nigeria, Amnesty International said on Tuesday.
The strike hit the remote market on Sunday, May 10, 2026, with many victims reportedly being women and girls.
