Tinubu, Fashola, CAN Agree On Christian Governor 2015 by Sirniyeh(m): 6:34pm On Dec 03, 2013
The decision to present a Christian candidate emerged after due consultations with eminent Christian leaders and clerics who have promised to mobilise other faithfuls to vote enmasse for the party if a Christian emerges as gubernatorial candidate in the state.

The leadership of the All Progressives Congress after a thorough search have found a willing and reliable Christian candidate in Ayo Gbeleyi, a thoroughbred professional known for his exceptional brilliance and intelligence.

Since the searchlight has beamed on Gbeleyi, Christian leaders are delighted that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has not only heeded to their demands but responded accordingly. They had argued that Moslems have successively governed the state since the inception of democracy and Christians are bold enough to claim they can perform better if given the privilege.

It is just fair and equitable to allow a Christian to govern Lagos, given the fact that succesive governors of the state since 1999 that democracy returned have been Moslems. Besides, they argued that the three Senatorial seats are occupied by Moslems.

The call for a Christian governor, observers of politics in the state reasoned is not to ignite any religious crisis but to ensure balance and equity. Observers opined that the efforts of successive administrations in the state in the areas of governance, accountability and reliability are not and should not be exclusive of faith or religion.

A thorougbred candidate like Gbeleyi, they posited, is equally suitable for the exalted post. With his pedigree and insights in public service, finance, procurement, constrtuction, project management, etc, he is, no doubt, a round peg in a round hole. It could be recalled that he singlehandedly planned and made a major breakthrough with his well-thoughout Public Private Partnership (PPP) initiative in Lagos.

Stupid Nigerians, shouldn't they be clamoring for a competent administrator?

Of what basis is religion an issue? Did Tinubu or Fashola islamasize the State during their tenures?

The next governor may be a Christian but the governor doesn't have to be a Christian.

It is a welcome development.
Hope Gbeleyi works beyond expectation considering the huge revenue at Lagos disposal.
We would also expect a clear accountability and transparent government if possible.

The religion of the next Governor should not be an issue.

The only criteria that really counts is: Can the next Governor get the job done?

To locate intolerance, you need to look no further than the crusaders clamouring for a Christain governor. grin
Does the general population in Lagos really care? I doubt it.

Rubbish! Conceding to this ridiculous demand could turn Lagos into another eastern state where religious and tribal intolerance are the order of the day. It would have an enduring impact on the constitution of Lagos and the rest of the Oodua states if given any justificatory basis.

In no time, we'll start to hear other Nigerians wanting to lay claim to stakes in governance.

Tinubu better watch it!

Sister don't get worked up over a rumour as this!

As far as Lagos Gov is concerned going forward,tales like this don't just matter in the mindset of all stakeholders.

What you have going on is nothing but propaganda by likely aspirants for the Guber ticket in order to increase their chance and acceptability.

You had to bring eastern states into this, don't you?
The eastern states are made up of people of a single religion (christianity) and tribe (Igbos), so what religious and tribal intolerance are you talking about?
Your post itself is too contradictory, there is a lot of intolerance hidden in it.

Oh really? As if we were all blind to read in print, how your glorified class captain otherwise referred to as 'governors' used tribal bigotry in their campaigns to sway votes their way. Perhaps you thought we are partially blind to see how your low life kinfolks deride Buhari on this forum purely for being a Northerner and muslim or that APC is a muslim party and consequently not worthy of your sad support for those reasons alone.

If my post is contradictory then I wonder what you would label your whole race as.

Have you guys ever been any different?
When you vote regional parties like ACN you call it political sophiscation and when others tow the same line it becomes tribalism.
Isn't Jonathan derided by people from your enclave purely for being an Ijaw man? What does the phrase ''Otuoke fisherman'' and other craps you pillocks call him mean?
You just displayed the hypocrisy that is a well-known trademark of people from your part of the country.
