Sincere 9gerian:
Its all propaganda to alleviate the pains of DEFEAT. QED.

emiye:

You mean individuals like Fashola(SAN), Oshiomole, Ajimobi, Akeredolu(SAN). Aregbesola are relative nonenties with low self esteem?
You are talking balderdash ! May be you are referring to Obasanjo or Adedibu.

Our Yansh:

Abeg leave Afam alone, dude isn't too endowed upstairs..

How can you use the terms nonentity and low self-esteem and claim you mean bla bla bla.. Even kids in SS1 and 2 know the right context in which to use those terms.

politician: Tinubu saw the lacuna in the power-grabbing structure of Nigeria and explored it!!

1)By retiring the old horses in AG/AD, he paved way for young folks to come to mainstream politics in SW...even obasanjo said it while presenting Gbenga Daniel vs osoba.

2) You can't lead a rebellion and still partake in governance...he understands this rule, hence the godfather mantra..if tinubu should contest for any elective post, he is done for...

3)the principle of meritocracy as against democracy in party candidature is also his strong point.. forget the sharing of rice every week oooo, ACN is the party that gives you a chance based on competency and loyalty..no room for gerontocrats

i remember caravan telling elders in oyo at Drovans that ...... only dogs of this age can chase rabbits of this age...

aye wetie ti lo ooooo.. aye awon omowe ni a wa!!

hence present your sons and daughters that are educated..

And can hardly presents candidates without in-built back up plan, once u don't remit, no second term.

Tinbu matches pdp money for money, thug for thug and rigging for rigging..

he clearly marks his territory and makes his subjects believes that their view thus count..

like DK said, better candidate who has proven their mettle and thus always deliver...bobo fash and now..jimmy boy (yes jimi agbaje, forget all dos banire noise, the blueprint is on already).

finally, jagaban told ganiyu Solomon to forget minority leader and the former governor of benue was given the post to strengthen ACN in north central...that's how he operates..

and he knows his limit, and never forget the streets where majority of the votes come from...

hence he loves slogans...

Jeun soke!!! chop up..

eni to ba bawa jeun soke, a jeun sapo...
if u follow us chop up, u go chop for pocket..


Gba won sonu!!!
pinrin ko si oshi, ara won no oshi wa..

sloganeering for the streets, educated candidates for the elites..
rough politics for the opponents... recipe of a good opposition leader..

So I am not the only one with a shallow mind incapable of undertanding Afam's deep post? That is sweet comfort

Sincere 9gerian: Tinubu appears "powerful" only in certain people's imagination. He's only enjoying the status of being the ONLY former governor in ACN at the moment. When more former governors emerge and as new generation of ACN governors emerge in ACN, Tinubu's imaginary powers will fade away.

However, one thing is not in doubt. Tinubu has used his position as the face of the opposition to build an empire of wealth for HIMSELF, perhaps in anticipation of when his political influence will wane.

OBJ lost out in his battle with Tinubu for the soul of southwest because OBJ was too silly that he NEVER reckoned with PERFORMANCE as a parameter for choosing his foot solders and putting people in positions of authority. While OBJ was using federal might to put people in positions of authority, the only parameter that was on his mind was loyalty. On the other hand, Tinubu was wise enough to consider both loyalty and PERFORMANCE. That made all the difference.

Sweetlemon: Me, I don't know if Tinubu "sold" SW votes to Jonathan. All I know is that for Jonathan to send a jet to pick up Tinubu shows a lot of how influential Tinubu is.
Pleas ehow many other Nigerians do we know of who can boast of this privilege?
How many politicians can look into OBJ's eyes and tell him to go to hell??
Haba! Give it to the man abeg!

Afam4eva:




Let me engage you guys...

Apart from Oshiomole, the governors in ACN were relative nonentities before they emerged as the governor of their respective states. Most of had little or not political clout before been picked by Tinubu to tule their states, so they owe him that much. Let Tinubu try and field a popular candidate like Jimi Agbaje and see what happens to his relevance. The only way Tinubu can remain relevant is to field people with no political relevance and make them indebted to him.

dayokanu:

I have said it that you are very ignorant and just love your own voice

Ajimobi was a Senator and Governorship aspirant runner up in Oyo Guber poll in 2003 before Tinubu picked him up

Amosun was a senator and a Governorship aspirant runner up in Ogun guber poll in 2003 before Tinubu picked him up

So a Former senator and Governorship aspirant is a Nonentity?

owobokiri: By stealing Lagos blind, cornering some oil deals while always bowing before his Fulani lords. The fact that he resides in an environment where crooks are tolerated as a result of primordial pulls did help a lot. He just proved that becoming a tribal champ is not rocket science..

naijababe: [/b]

Yes o, according to Afam . Roflmao

dayokanu:

So in the same logic for example in Anambra someone can say Andy Uba currently is a nonentity since he is also a former Governorship aspirant and Senator

naijababe: @Pro01, Anoint a man like Ikuforiji? You obviously under-estimate the man a lot.

Afam4eva:
Tinubu won't make the mistake of putting someone that will usurp him. He puts relative nonentities there with low self-esteem who will remain loyal to him for a very long time. Word even has it that he'll most likely keep it in the family in 2015.

naijababe:

Please stop Afam , you digging yourself into a deeper hole.

Fashola vs. Obanikoro
Ajimobi vs. Alao Akala
Fayemi vs. Segun Oni
Oshiomole vs. Airhiavbere

Yes ACN candidates truly have low self esteem and are non entities.

pro01:

Lol. Ikuforiji might even be a much better choice (from a loyalty-to-Tinubu perspective) than the likes of GOS or Ashafa. Unfortunately, Tinubu is unlikely to annoint any of these men anyway. One way or the other, the end of his political empire is in sight.

Afam4eva:
Did you know Fashola, FAyemi and [b]Ajimobi [/b]before they became governor? Did they win because they had a name politically or because Tinubu used his influence? Pls don't mention Oshiomole again because he won his first term on the platform of Labour party and he won because he was Osho baba and not because of his party.

Afam4eva:
Been a former governor means very little because the political terrain has changed a great deal.

Ajimobi was a senator but still didn't have the political clout to get himself into power like Oshiomole did. He had to come under a banner that was endearing to the people. It's like asking Lam Adesina to come and contest under a mediocre part just because he was a former governor. Obviosly, he will fail.

seanet01: Ignorance of the highest order!
Oshiomole won his first term on the platform of Labour Party?
Are you kidding me?
Your personal hatred for anything that have links with Yoruba and ACN is shielding you from reality.
