This is not definite, Ladoja will still very likely contest but he can't win and he knows it but he will be contesting not actually to win but for some other gains.

As for Akala's intent,. not true, he's been working on his guber ambition since a very long time and he's been Gej's candidate since 2013 (those who think he's going for senate are misinformed). Hence the reason why he championed the reconciliation moves. He understands that he needs to reconcile everyone to achieve his ambition. As it stands, he is the only political figure with the most weight in Oyo PDP its only a matter of time when he will be announced as the candidate to face off with Ajimobi.

For those who think there is a crack in PDP, there is no crack, the perception of crack emanates from media sensationalism. Ppl like Teslim knows he can't make it. what is his clout or Akinjide with her Ibadan Agenda, she's now more busy with saving her minister position than playing the politics of (Ibadan man must be PDP candidate) Hence the reason why they talk less these days. They have already known the direction of things, they just have to align and move on.

The stuffs that go on on social media (nairaland, twitter, facebook etc) is one thing but what actually happens on political turf which dictates the direction of the election is completely another thing. Just to be clear this is how its going to be in 2015, Ajimobi APC Akala PDP Ladoja Accord.

I might not want to state who will win out of the three, But I am very sure who will come a distant 3rd out of the three... Ajimobi of APC.. Yes he will have the least vote from the three of them. Accord is holding it down in Ibadan while PDP is holding it down in other zones. Ajimobi has no control of anywhere he has lost his grip on APC and the party is virtually empty. Both their heavy weights and their underdogs have left. Ajimobi is the only person left in APC. Thats not the way to win election.



Ladoja contesting and not winning, I will leave it for voters to decide, as my vote, a single vote is not enough to vote in my own candidate. Ladoja is still loved by the civil service because of how he treated them in his term. He lost his bearing when he started picking fights in late 2004.

As for PDP crisis, sir, there is crisis in PDP. I am not relying on hearsay at all. There is division in PDP right now, which is normal anyway, and the division is along Oyo North and Oyo South/Central. Folarin and Akinjide are not serious to me. Folarin had the opportunity of making his name when he was in senate but what did he do? Nothing. Like I said earlier, if we are to get development we are craving for, we need to push people with ideas and innovations up front and not people with no intention or zest for creating positive impact in the society. That is where I will like to see a certain Arapaja/Ajimobi/ and another innovation-driven man from AP to slug it out next year and not Akala/Ladoja.

Akala had almost 5 years in power, the highest stay in government by any individual, but what are his records? We need to be sincere with ourselves. He just had the opportunity of being the governor when he did not expect it. If his 4 years and 11 months administration had been like that of the incumbent, it would have been good but that wasn't the case.

You can bear witness that for almost 6 years, security was at the lowest ebb in Oyo State, except the brief period of the Police Commissioner bought from Akwa Ibom, who dealt with some of the political forces then, and security issues went down when Ajimobi came in. The grouse of people with Ajimobi administration are different but my own grouse with him is in the area of job creation and some other area, despite the fact that I like him. Whether he is coming back or not is not even the case here, but has he performed better than his predecessors? Yes, he has.

As for the election, we cannot decide how it's going to go, one of the dynamics of Oyo politics and that makes it interesting. Oyo north has always been a PDP stronghold since 1999, so they winning that zone will not be a surprise to me but that cannot be said of Oyo South and Central, as there are divisions along party line, and Ibadan constitutes a large chunk in the 2 senatorial zones of Oyo central and south, so one can't say someone is going to come first or third. Mind you, if Ajimobi doesn't make 2nd term, people will still peg his administration against the incoming one and contrast which is better.

Mind you, if Ajimobi doesn't make 2nd term, people will still peg his administration against the incoming one and contrast which is better.

My response might be a little long cos I want to be very very clear but I will make it easy to read.

Wishes vs Reality
As I read thru ur comment with keen interest, I observed that u seem to be mixing two things up and which are what u wish to happen in 2015 and what will actually happen. Let's spend our time on what will actually happen or let me say what is very likely to happen (since I am not God). U throwing up Arapaja's name actually reveals how u don't know much about what is going on in the PDP camp. Arapaja is far from it. Do u not know that he is not even in the current Guber race in the camp? So lets not waste time on that.

Ladoja
Whether Ladoja will win or not will of course be determined by voters but he will not be contesting to necessarily win. Its very simple to understand as Ladoja himself can only beat his chest for votes in Ibadan of which he can't get a 100% cos u and I know that there exists significantly a good size of PDP across Ibadan which interestingly is growing. U said Ladoja is loved for the mere fact that he treated civil servants very well, can u say the same of Ajimobi? Since u hammered on Ajimobi's performance, I will discuss that in subsequent paragraph.

Crisis or no crisis in PDP
U said there are crisis but u still did not clearly state how, u just believed there are crisis why didnt u mention names against names. What u are seeing in PDP is not actually crisis but lobbying and re-positioning in advance of what is coming, some ppl call it trading and bargaining. Everybody knows their levels and what they can achieve or not achieve. For example, Akinjide and co established a so called another faction and placed its secretariat in Yemetu but who do u see in Yemetu? if correspondences come from Abuja, does it go to Yemetu or Dandaru? Which is the actual, legally recognized PDP secretariat. What u are seeing is just bluffing, politicians do this to remain relevant one way or the other.

Over 10 candidates have declared for guber in PDP, so if there is crisis as u and others believe, why do all of them know not to make their declaration in any other faction secretariat than the main secretariat in Dandaru? If they truly belong to different factions, why did they not make their declaration in their putative factions? Remember the APC tried to awash the media with the impression that Ekiti PDP is cracked before and after the emergence of Fayose but reality says the opposite, Some wished that it was true until the election reveals it wasn't.

Since u mentioned comparison of performance I would like to do some comparison exercise.

Ajimobi's Performance Over-hype
U talked of Ajimobi's performance as if he's the best we have had so far and u talked about Ladoja's excellence with dealing with civil service. In that vain, can u now go to the secretariat and sample just 2 or 3 ppl's opinion? U dont even need to ask 10 ppl, Just 3!!! Can u sample teachers opinon? Do u know how much he is owing them, did u not see how he discountenanced the teachers when they asked him about their unpaid salary on B.C.O.S interview? So why do u think Ajimobi is performing. What u do not know is that u and the majority have been coerced and coaxed at the same time via the media to only see the projects they did and take ur attention away from the numerous other responsibilities they have neglected. My pensioner dad is owed over 5 months unpaid (and still counting) by Ajimobi if we were poor jobless children, how would my dad have been surviving?

Akala's Performance Under-hype
U asked for Akala's record and asked for sincerity but in my opinion u seem to be the insincere one because u believe that Akala did NOTHING. But I understand why u believe that cos its a common belief by the majority which is engineered by the then ACN via media blackmail to totally reduce Akala's popularity and personality to their own advantage.

I can't bear witness with u that Akala did nothing because:
1)Ajimobi prides himself as the governor that keeps Ibadan clean but what he never tells u is that all the equipment, the refuse compactors, the roll on roll off refuse trucks including the working implementation that he is using now was bought brand new and put in place by the Akala government. Ajimobi has not bought to date a single compactor for refuse cos the equipment he inherited was sufficient and in good state. Remember he reiterated that he met nothing on ground, that the state was in shambles. That is APC for u, they are specialist in misinforming the ppl against the other party.

2) Ajimobi prides himself as if the only governor that constructs roads but Ladoja constructed roads too, Akala apart from several local govt roads he constructed, he equally expanded major roads in Ibadan so why would u ask me to bear witness that he did nothing? And the roads are still in good shape. In fact Akala is the only governor to have ever gone beyond merely expanding an existing road to opening up a never existing highway in Ibadan check Elebu highway and the resulting impressive development in that axis. Ajimobi expanded Dugbe to Ance-Eleyele but Akala was the first to expand the same Dugbe from Queen's cinema to J/Allen to Oke Ado/Molete and after about 6 years, the road is still in very good shape, is it a lie?

3) Akala was the 1st since the current democracy to ensure that all dual carriage roads in Ibadan have streetlights including the one he constructed and the one constructed before him, Lam and Ladoja didn't do a single street light project that's a fact. He (Akala) went as far as powering the street lights with generators during power failure just to ensure that the lights were on
So how would I bear witness that he did nothing?

4) Akala massively rejuvenated the then dead Oyo health care. Did u know what the Oyo state hospital in Yemetu and Adeoyo looked like before Akala? Old, dilapidated, smelly colonial buildings with rusty leaky roof. Can u see what it looks like after Akala left? Have u seen the massive teaching hospital in Lautech? did u see the annex in Oyo? Is that not infrastructural development? What did Ajimobi do to improve ppl's health in his 4 years? Instead he said he was going build a 5 star hotel beside premier hotel which after almost 4 years, it's yet to be built. How would u build a 5 star hotel beside premier hotel that is never patronized to capacity? what sense does that make? What would that hotel mean to common man? well lets leave that.

Did u see how the Oyo Fire Service was well equipped by Akala? The same equipment Ajimobi used for rescue during the major flood. While Ajimobi was extolling his own rescue efforts, he never said "let's thank Akala who deemed it fit to equip the Fire Services in case of disaster otherwise, there would have been no equipment on ground" He never said that did he?
Therefore, u can't ask me to bear witness that Akala did nothing

Let me just live it at that.

Re: Ajimobi Must Go by djfaithy: 6:39pm On Jul 05, 2014
emiye: I have observed everything for these PDP shenagians is about winning elections, when it is clear that the present is way better than the past.

Ajimobi became a governor May 29, 2011, and he has been working within that axis, something the others didnt do, but these invalids want the state to be governed again by ruffians. Are you cursed?
you don't need an herbalist or google to tell you that, he's absolutely insane, Ekiti was his home, oyo state is his hood, he want all apc governors to disappear from SW but he's not campaigning for any political party, please if he's not cursed and insane will he be trying to play smart on thousands of nairalanders?

mr.man , do u know all candidates allegedly chosen by tinubu were ratified at d primary? The electoral act stipulates ratification by delegates as a form of primary election,so there is nothing bad in annointing a candidate provided the selection is ratified.this is d way aregbesola and fayemi emerged recently and it is in order.

So by ur permutation, only Oyo central vote will be enough to return Ajimobi right? I guess u are giving Oyo central to Ajimobi because of his assumed rosy relationship with Alaafin. What u may not know is that Alaafin is no more on his side. If u dont know that, u dont know anything Oyo LGs and the surrounding wouldn't vote for Ajimobi. I am very sure that Ajimobi has nowhere left to get votes from and if u are very informed with the current states of things, u should know the same.

are you in oyo state at the moment? Do you know about the recent popularity of labour party at oyo north ? The apc has divided into two, some of them have went to join the labour party(though I believe 2015 can never favout the labour party),but except the governor find a means to apeal to them to come back,ur analysis may be wrong.. I know many things about the recent activites going on in the state politically but I won't be able to share because I might not be able to provide prove, am a business man and I seek contract from most of this aspirants so I know few things,I don't belong to any party but if ladoja decides to contest,he will have my 1 vote..

bros I keep telling u ,ladoja will not contest. It is all politics ,at the end you will see . Even if he spends 100million on campaign materials abuja will give him back the money in triple,but he needs to show other parties that he is still relevant and needs to be courted. It is all a bargaining gimmick. Very soon he will be wooed just wait and see. No serious politician will follow ladoja wholeheartedly in oyo state

bros just like someone rightly said earlier ,all the ramblings u see going on in pdp now is just bargaining, everyone want to show and flex his muscle in order to be seen as a power broker ,so that when the largesse is brought out they will be among those that will divide itt. Every politician has a price ,just as ladoja sold out and helped ajimobi at the last polls . A lot will depend on gej just like he did in ekiti by drafting in fayose , his gamble in osun is dicey anyway. But for oyo state akala and ladoja are power brokers . Their conttribution will likely determine the outcome of the elections and that is what they themselves are after. But one thing is sure ladoja will not work for apc or help them like he did last time . Akinjide just wants to be the focal point. Let me give u a small hint, whenever election is about tto take place , a lump sum is sent to states and this money will be shared among the power brokers for onward transfer to every ward ,this is true for every state and every party in nigeria ,if you prove urself to have enough clout,then u are out,also appointment issue is there and contracts .bros u will see what will happen ,one thing is sure ajimobi will lose
