That bleaching goat called Eshilokun has been reelected again...smh

At this junction, PDP should ask itself how come they were more viable in other South-western state and is struggling in a state that has more non-yorubas despite all the accolades of Tinubu.

At this junction, I'm humbly submitting we need a better opposition to PDP in Lagos state.

That is very commendable.

Good report...keep them rolling in please




Cheers

Mainly because APC Lagos has consistently driven for performance. They have consistently put forward quality /merit based candidates.

We are watching as events unfold...

True, now Yorubas can see that no one is dragging Lagos or its land with anybody, other indigenes didn't even come out to vote.... which begs to ask, what was the point of all the tribal antics from APC.

Quote the lie.

Lagos PDP has no progressive agenda other than attacking Tinubu and telling us they want to liberate us. That can only sell if a Governor performs so badly. However, unfortunately for them neither Fashola nor Ambode did poorly.

APC can only lose Lagos if Tinubu makes the mistake of choosing some as bad as Ajimobi for Lagos. But so long as the state keeps progressing, no Lagosian cares about the word bondage. They are too busy for tgat.

Where were u when some flat headed abacha munchers were shouting Lagos is a no mans land, Lagos belongs to the Ijaw, Lagos belongs to Benin ?

That's just the truth. In Oyo, Osun, Ekiti etc you keep hearing of Alao Ajala, Fayose, etc. But in Lagos, Jimi Agbaje just appears once every four years and disappears like a Crab after that. Even their leader Bode George hardly talks and does not have the credibility and personality to lead such a revolution.

If someone like Fayose was a lagosian am sure PDP would have been a viable treat because he talks and communicates all year round and not just waiting for the elections

It's the same APC shouting all that, mention one single notable non-indigene that has made such remark if not oba akiolu himself..

The tribal conflicts are brought up every four years, why don't the conflicts happen on non-elective years?

Let the wailing continue

U r right after d elections u won't see jimi again till anoda 4yrs !
Then u wonder what kind of opposition goes to sleep and wakes up
Again when anoda election is nearby and expect to win...."u can keep doing same thing and expect same result".

Use d Lai Mohammed propaganda method circa 2015 and wrestle Lagos from APC
Anything outside that na long thing.

Fayose? No. That won’t happen in Lagos. The EKITI were aloof from the political happenings in their State is the reason Fayose gained ground to the point he became an embarrassment! Lagosians are politically savvy and are not about to watch their business investments go down in a hail of bad policies set by an incompetent Governor. Fayose is not near one-quarter of The mental acuity and political sagacity needed to win the guber in Lagos State not to talk of governing the State.
