Mr Gbawe you make me laugh. KORO distinguished himself as Nigeria's High Commissioner to Ghana. He ensued cordial relationship with between Nigeria and Ghana. All through his service in Ghana, he had no controversy. I understand Acn was jittery when he returned to Lagos, because they know Senator KORO very well. By the way that your TOILET tales is laughable, my 4 years old nephew will not even take it serious. Popularity of a politician is tested at the polls, 2011 KORO proved himself as man of the people. Despite the propaganda, Island residents voted en mass for Babajide Obanikoro |

Despite the propaganda, Island residents voted en mass for Babajide Obanikoro Then you and your nephew are liars if you can regard factual and truthful submission to be a "tale". One thing I do not engage in is lying. I have been to the Nigerian embassy in Ghana at Dzorwolu, Accra, many times with Obanikoro himself present and visible. We surrender our phones at the security gatehouse otherwise I would probably have taken pictures back then because that was the extent of my anger at Obanikoro's sheer incompetence and lack of focus. The toilet is exactly what I say it is. Meanwhile, have you ever visited Accra let alone the Nigerian embassy there? You paid hack are just jokers. Obanikoro was a piss-poor ambassador in terms of strengthening the support system available to Nigerians in Ghana. He was vocal when he had to be , as is minimally expected of him, but he showed nil ability for initiating proactive/developmental measures as good leaders do. It is thus no surprise he was comfortable for visitors to the embassy to use a rancid and puke-inducing toilet. Please desist from talking about things you know nothing about in your foolhardy mission of defending a very bad product. Abeg leave that Ghana side. Koro was poor there because he is an example of what Nigeria has to get beyond i.e mediocre and talentless individuals promoted far above their station. 3 Likes |

barcanista: Senator Musliu Obanikoro's profile is visibly on the rise. A grassroot politician who have served as a Chairman Lagos Island Local Govt, Commissioner between 1999-2003 under Tinubu's Administration, Senator 2003-2007 and Nigeria's Ambassador to Ghana 2007-2012. Popularly Known as KORO, he was born in the year 1954, and happily married with Kids. By the sound of KORO, every political opponent shivers. This is a man who stood up against the tyrannical Tinubu, Olabode George, Ogunlewe among others and TRIUMPHED over them. Many thought KORO was finished politically when he NARROWLY lost Lagos Gubernatorial election in 2007, KORO bounced back. This was evident in the last LGA election when KORO led the state chapter of PDP to give the incumbent party a run for their money. Allegation of electoral fraud by the ruling party in collaboration with the State's Electorial Commission marred the election results in virtually every ward. KORO is loved by the grassroot in Lagos State. KORO is loved by every sections of PDP. Despite the propaganda against his person, KORO has no SINGLE criminal case or corruption case against him. The Opposition always use the infamous burning of City Hall orchastrated by chatalans against him. Lagosians are yearning for a change, for populist policies to be implemented and they've lost faith in ACN led Govt. Being a grassroot person, KORO hold the key to Liberation, at the mention of KORO, the opposition shivers. Truly, No one knows Lagos like KORO, KORO is the man. "Populism"... Ah, I see the issue now. Free roads, free healthcare, free schools, free housing, free water supply, free this, free that. Build the infrastructure, but don't tax us. Build world-class roads and bridges, but don't toll them. We don't care how you raise the money, JUST DELIVER. We want a world-class city, yet we don't want to pay the price. If majority of Lagosians are thinking like this, we'll remain underdeveloped for a long, LONG time. 2 Likes |

barcanista: hehehehe i laugh at your assertions. It seems you've allowed your biased mind for the ACN blocked your sense of reasoning. Who lost faith in PDP? the Same PDP that Won LG elections only to be rigged by your ACN,thank God the Judiciary made pronouncement upturning some result. My Friend which circle does KORO belong to? are you dreaming? Those who understand Lagos politics knows that the cancer in LAGOS PDP is Bode George and KORO isn't in same camp with him. The PDP in Lagos is now united unlike in the past. As for ACN, their days in Alausa is numbered, the grassroot will venge their anger on them during the polls for their anti-people policies. Telling Okada that you won't ban them because of votes, then turn around to ban them after election is INSINCERITY. should KORO declares His ambition, He'll sweep the votes. People now understand the fraud of Acn led govt and Need alternative If for anything, analyse the results of the last Council poll. Cheers So will Koro and the PDP bring back Okada?

TouchDown: Of course he will, remember during the debate in 2007 when he said he was out-rightly going to disband LASTMA. Not a thought of improving it as he has no brain. He is only interested in "capturing" power ala OBJ's tactics. He is a student of OBJ's school of 'do-or-die' politics and such a man can never and should never be trusted with Lagos. Lagos has come a long way from the hell his fellow student in 'do-or-die' politics, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, put it in. To have a crude and disgusting character like Koro as the Governor of Lagos is to throw away the progress of the last few years. 1 Like |

@op,i understand ur views ,but despite the fact that koro is a strong force withing the state pdp and a force to reckon with in lagos state politics ,i dont think he can win the lagos state governorship, op,you have to remember that even in 2007 funsho widow defeated him and he only got the party ticket because obj insisted that he shoud be given.notwithstanding anyone party or politician that underrates koro influence in lagos state politics does so at his or her own peril.koro may not be able to win the governorship but he has the capacity to influence the final outcome of the race both withing the party and withing the state 2 Likes |

(U) In Nigeria's most populous state, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro won a December 13 runoff election against Hilda Williams, widow of PDP aspirant Funsho Williams, who was murdered on July 27. 3. (C) The media had earlier reported Williams victorious. Guardian Political Editor Idowu Ajanaku told Polspec that after the initial runoff PDP leaders had declared Williams the winner, carrying out PDP National Deputy Chairman Bode George's desire to have a candidate he can control. (Ref A) At the time, President Obasanjo supported the move, Ajanaku said. However, Obanikoro protested that there was a miscount in the primary and took the case to the National PDP for arbitration. According to Ajanaku, at this juncture, Obasanjo sided in favor of Obanikoro. Apparently, Obanikoro was able to get some influential allies on his side. One was PDP Board of Trustees Chairman Anenih; the other was President Obasanjo's daughter. 4. (C) Professor Adeolu Durotoye, Political Science Lecturer at the University of Ibadan, told Poloff that PDP members saw Obanikoro as more favorable to the Lagos polity than Williams, who prior to the primary had never run for political office and did not even reside in Lagos before her husband's murder. 5. (C) Grassroots PDP politician and post contact Gbenga Awosanya was present to witness the primary vote. Awosanya told Polspec that although the election was subject to manipulation, there was no violence. Awosanya had been concerned that the National PDP was attempting to foist Williams on an unwilling PDP electorate, and voiced his fear to Polspec before the primary. Awosanya said that he and others in the Lagos PDP are starved for a winner, and Awosanya would likely leave the PDP if Obanikoro did not win " 2)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musiliu_Obanikoro "Later career In April 2007 Musiliu Obanikoro ran for governor of Lagos State on the PDP ticket, but lost the election to Babatunde Fashola of the Action Congress.[3] The election was marred by violence. In one incident, Musiliu Obanikoro was said to have narrowly escaped death in an armed attack on his car in Ikeja.[7] His nomination as PDP candidate was controversial. Hilda Williams, widow of the murdered Engineer Funsho Williams, had been declared winner of the Lagos PDP primaries, but the PDP National Executive Committee (NEC) led by Ahmadu Ali gave the ticket to Obanikoro. The disunited PDP under Bode George also lost the Lagos State Senate and all but one House of Representatives and 37 State House of Assembly seats to the AC.[8] In a newspaper interview in July 2007, Obanikoro called on the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency in Lagos State, claiming that infrastructures and values had completely collapsed.[9] President Umaru Yar'Adua appointed Musiliu Obanikoro as Nigerian High commissioner to Ghana in May 2008.[10] Divisions between factions in the Lagos State PDP which had surfaced before the 2007 elections continued until a series of meeting in October 2009, where the differences were resolved.[11]" the party nomination. |
