Controversial journalist, Kemi Olunloyo has tagged the people of Edo state "dumb and brainless".

Olunloyo, through her micro-blogging app, Twitter, stated that Edo people are just like the people of Ekiti who keep "recycling their problems" by re-electing their leaders.

She wrote on Saturday, “Edo people are very DUMB brainless people. They are like Ekiti people. Always recycling leaders aka recycling their problems and suffering.”

The people of Edo State gather at the poll today [Saturday] to either elect a new governor or hand another term to the incumbent governor, Godwin Obaseki of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In all, 14 political parties have presented candidates for Saturday’s election in the South-South state but the real contest is believed to be between Obaseki and Osagie Ize-Iyamu of the main opposition All Progressives Congress (APC).

Four years ago, Messrs. Obaseki and Ize-Iyamu were the leading contestants in the election. But both candidates have since switched sides with Obaseki moving from the APC to the PDP – after he fell out with his political benefactor and former national chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole – and Ize-Iyamu moving from the PDP to the APC.
