Ogun State Politics for the YEWA's (former Egbado) come 2011.

I undersatnd that its time for the Yewa's chance at the number post in the State (Governor),
come 2011, the egbas, ijebus and the remo people have all had their take at been Governor,
now its our turn. But I have my fears, any yewa person in the house, stand up and be counted.

Hi yewa man, ki ti gbe o? I think you've raised a very important issue here, we really need to pull our forces together and make 2011 our year as the ruler of the gateway state. Even the former president knows it as well and that was the reason why he tried putting Chief Olalekan Ishola Ojo against OGD in 2007 PDP primaries but due to the good impression we had about OGD, we endorsed him for the second time and with that, I believe the Remos will support the Yewas/Aworis this time around if and I repeat, if the Remos are not cowards cuz we supported them when it was their turn[color=#990000][/color][i][/i]

It's annoying that informed Nigerians at this time and age will still be arguing like this. It amuses me when people bring up arguments like this and the justification for their stands.

We need people that can perfom, even if the person is an IGBO, HAUSA born citizen of Ogun state. All these sectarian politics have not helped in any way for the past 50 years or so and i doubt if it would help in decades to come.

Think outside the box please and move your mind forward.

Fellow Africans are being killed in South Africa and we see people yelling and shouting callings the South Africans names. What do we call this now? A divided Nation, a divided state. Ogun State is not contended with indiginuous Governors anymore, they now want someone from a particular zone/region of the state, isn't that shameful?

Tommorrow people like this will tell you they are civilised. Yewa ko, Yewa ni who cares so far whoever occupies the office is doing good.

mr rasaq, note that in the post above, the phrase "great one " represent the religion of peace(islam) I wrote the religion but for some reasons not known to me, it came out as great one in the post.

@omooronna,
Good luck then, all I was just saying is that whoever occupy the office should be in the interest of the State as a whole. On a second thought, may be the leadership role should not be for certain set of people as it is used to be in the past. Though, I am not a Yewa man but, I sincerely wish you (the Yewas) good luck in the coming election and hopefully, Ogun State will not regret having your representative as a leader.

Long live Ogun State.

I understand that very well. Those changes are done on nairaland to avoid religious conflicts.

Now talking Mr Rasaq,

I do agree with you on the fact thatwhoever become the Governor of Ogun state come2011 should have the interest of the whole state in mind and not just that of his/her own people alone and as an aboriginal of Yewaland, my veiw is actually based on my interest in the development of the state. What I mean by this is that I want the state to continue living together in harmony and the only way we can do this is by letting eveyone in the state have this feelings and senses of belonging and trust me, if for the nearly three decades of existence of this state, no one from a particular region of the state had ruled the state, the said region will definitely conclude that they have been sidelined or marginalized and all they can do to stop that is by voicing out which is what we the Yewas are doing now.
Thanks alot for your interest anyway, Mr Rasaq

yewa-man, where are you, lets get this forum going,
