My take. For me if PDP will be smart enough to produce credible candidate,they will ve lagos in 2015. 2.Jimmy Agbaje and any other credible candidate which can draw developing manifesto that would be masses friendly and which should come from either PDP or APC will win Lagos state. 3.come 2015 lagosian will vote for candidate rather than party.(NB:The battle lies between PDP and APC) 4.the fact dt we want change of power,I don't think electorate can be deceived to vote for anti masses party in the name of awolowo or one useless over ambitious ,malicious and desperate development at the expense of poor masses life,biz,health,homes,right and freedom. In submission, Jimmy Agbaje is one of the credible candidate we should watch out for in 2015.Lagosian be wise,Vote for a candidate which can build a MEGA life for you rather than a Mega city dt would take away ur life savings,biz and right to enjoy living in ur native land.

He added that the gubernatorial aspirant was convinced that the PDP in Lagos State has the best level of [size=20pt]internal democracy[/size] of all the major parties likely to be in contention in Lagos. “It’s regrettable that, fifteen years into our current democratic system, so many parties still practice the culture of anointment or imposition of candidates,” said the source. He argued that Mr. Agbaje’s political advisers discovered that the PDP was abandoning the idea of imposition of candidates,[size=20pt] accusing Bola Tinubu, a major force in the All Progressives Congress (APC) of continuing with his desire to dictate the direction of Nigeria’s major opposition party, including the undemocratic anointment of candidates for elective posts..[/size]...Tell your boss why the gods are angry!

APC leader, Senator Bola Tinubu has directed Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola to dethrone the Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuade and Timi of Ede, Oba Muniru Adesola Lawal for allegedly supporting Sen Iyiola Omisore and Hon Adejare Bello.

Tinubu, who was said to have been miffed by the statement reportedly made by the Ooni of Ife when President Goodluck Jonathan visited on Saturday, said; "Ooni was never an honest Oba and that was why I said only three Yoruba Obas (Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba of Lagos and one other) were credible. That one other is not the Ooni and he (Ooni) knows it. You (Aregbesola) must teach the duo of Ooni and Timi a lesson after you must have won the Saturday election. Dethrone them and nothing will happen!"

The meeting was held at the Government House, Oshogbo after the APC rally yesterday''— VOX POPULI NEWS.

2015: Why PDP May Win Again By Edozie Okeiyi

One begins to wonder if APC can indeed rise to the big challenge next year or will continue on this road to self annihilation. My opinion is that APC is not strong enough and therefore cannot displace the PDP in a free and fair contest.

The newly elected (selected) leadership of the All Progressive Congress seems to be struggling from day one.First is that APC lacks a national outlook. The PDP has remained relevant in Nigeria because of the national umbrella it has maintained. Although it has its own problems, but it cannot be said to belong to a particular group. The APC has done very little to allay the fears of Christians that APC has a hidden agenda against them. Instead of addressing these weighty fears and suspicions, the APC has rather kept mute on the matter. When the former Aviation Minister Femi Fani Kayode resigned his membership citing the religious bias of APC, the Party instead of addressing this serious allegation, rather responded by saying that Femi Fani Kayode was not a registered member in the first instance. This is like sweeping a serious matter under the carpet and hoping that the news will fizzle out one day.

Whether the APC likes it or not, there is a general perception by a significant section of Nigeria that the party was established to project the interests of one religion above the other. While this may be true or not, a party that cares about her image and public perception must address this issue otherwise the perception of voters would continue to influence electoral results against them. Perception is different from facts, but the reality is that voters vote largely on how they perceive you or your party.

The second problem with the APC is the overbearing influence of the chief financier Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. A chieftain of APC Chief Tom Ikimi alleged recently that Bola Tinubu single handedly selected persons for all the top positions. This mafia-like posture does not cast APC in good light before Nigerians. It grossly lacks internal democracy. One godfather calls the shots. Chief Ikimi maintained that the ruling PDP is not owned by anybody. It is a national institution that accommodates all and sundry equally.

If APC is to be taken seriously by Nigerians, it has to rise above this one man tyranny and make conscious efforts to make APC a party for everyone. Nigerians would love a party that is built on our national pillars without too much attachments to one man. Internal democracy is badly needed in APC if they are to make progress. At the moment if Tinubu catches cold APC would sneeze. This is an insult to Nigerians. One begins to wonder what roles Tinubu would play should APC win the next general elections. Would he give the President free hand to govern without interfering? Your guess is as good as mine.

The next problem with APC is that it seems to be the amalgamation of strange bed fellows only united in their lust for power. The membership of APC was drawn from different political parties with diverse interests only united in their quest to capture power from the PDP. While there is nothing wrong with this arrangement, what is however worrying is that the differences instead of getting narrower is getting wider. Chief Ikimi spoke the minds of the silent majority. There seems to be no love lost among the top echelon of the party. The most probable prediction judging from the above is that an APC government would be marred by crises and power tussle should they find themselves in power.

APC also lacks a defined ideology. Every opposition that wants to displace the incumbent must work hard to define and market the agenda to the People. Presently most Nigerians do not know what APC stands for. Most People do not know what APC would do differently. These are the roadblocks that may cost them dearly in 2015 and beyond
