I thought am the only person bewildered at the choose of Akpabio and Amaechi

picaso77:
Adams Aliu Oshomhole

holatin:

soroptimist:
Without any sentiments

I love Rochas Okorocha........he speaks like a philosopher.......1st position

Adams Oshiomhole speaks like a Mobiliser



Fashola though seems to have a mastery of almost all subject matter

OrlandoOwoh:
If there is anything that a politician can use to arrest the attention of his intellectual listeners, it is arguably his oratorical prowess. From all parts of the world it is the same. I have had the opportunity of watching clips of campaigns and debates involving some Americans vying for political offices, they often have the oratorical skills.

Here in Nigeria upto the early 1980's, Obafemi Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikiwe, S. L. Akintola, Abubakar Tafawa-Balewa, Ozumba Mbadiwe, Anthony Enahoro, Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, and so on were able to convince their admirers with their oratorical skills.

In today's Nigeria, do we still have politicians with oratorical skills? I find Rochas Okorocha, Femi Fani-Kayode, Babatunde Fashola, Tunde Bakare, Peter Odili, Femi Gbajabiamila and Rauf Aregbesola (though very blunt) as some of the few we have. Add yours.

Of what importance is this skill in today's polity?

Although the governor speaks with eloquence , he has no Muhammed in his name. You mean Mu'azu Babangida Aliyu.

I give it to Muhammed Aliyu...governor of Niger State.

sukkot:
day i heard mallam, emir of kano, former governor of central bank, i forget his name now. the day i saw him speak at oxford university and watched his bbc interview, i was BLOWNNNNNNNN AWAYYYYYYY. this nigga speaks impeccable smooth english. none of that grunting and groaning and stammering peculiar with our kleptocrats as they have to think very hard because their brain is slow when it comes to matters that dont involve stealing
