Well, this is a very short piece, and a good news to all who desire justice in this land. The capital state of the Southwest Nigeria, Oyo State, has been taken away from the cruel hands of Bola Tinubu. Hopefully, the stolen mandate in Osun State shall be returned, too. Congratulations to all well meaning Nigeria!

Shuku0kukobambi:


And I'm sure you'll celebrate that Kwankwaso installed his son in law as Kano governor o?

Hope you also celebrated Tinubu obliterating Saraki completely in Kwara?

Why can't you rejoice that Oyo state rebuked arrogant and uncouth Ajimobi, Kano rejected babariga ATM ganduje and Kwara punished Saraki for years of oppression?

This is people power. Has nothing to do with any godfather. If the winners mess up, in 4 years, the same fate awaits them

Are you minding him? Ajimobi broke the single term jinx of governors in the history of Oyo state. Until he achieved that every other governor only succeeded in doing a single term, including the late Bola Ige. That is how Oyo people like to play their politics. Instead of celebrating Makinde's victory they are making Tinubu the issue. Na real wah.

Ajimobi needed to be thought a lesson. He's the luckiest governor in Oyo history yet he messed it up. I'm just sad that his punishment also consumed SOJ and Adelabu.

I'll start hating Buhari if he gives him any appointment. Very arrogant mumu constituted authority

Forget that 'single term jinx' thrash! If your political warlord Tinubu was not concerned, why all the desperate moves to buy Ogbomoso's votes few days to the election? So, I Am not sorry for your loss!

afroniger:


That is classic democracy on display. Ajimobi lost the support of the grassroots and the APC has paid dearly for it. Personally I feel Adelabu would have made a better governor but the people felt they were overdue for a break from anything connected to Ajimobi (whom they have come to resent). Makinde only rode on that wave of discontent. I also think Oyo people are very fickle when it comes to politics. Bola Ige was rejected in favour of Olunloyo in 1983 (in spite of Awo and UPN's popularity) even though many felt Ige performed enough to deserve a second term. Makinde has four years to prove himself else he will experience the same fate.

afroniger:


If you are upset that Tinubu did his best as a loyal party member to ensure that his party retains Oyo then that's your headache. Was he supposed to support PDP's Makinde instead of Adelabu? On what basis? Your bitterness is obviously clouding your sense of judgement. You are better off enjoying and cerebrating Makinde's victory without so much bitterness dude.

That's why no matter how you see Tinubu, he'll remain relevant because he knows the street controls things and he remains loyal to the streets. Ajimobi and Amosun think you just become a godfather because you have position. That's the lesson bukola also refused to learn from his father, Olusola. Never forget the streets and those who control it. Ganduje also paid because he insulted the streets with that dollar video.

You're right about Oyo, particularly Ibadan as being fickle voters. They tire of leaders easily. PDP would have won in 2015 if not that greed made them splinter into 4 candidates facing ajimobi. Seyi will not get more than 4 years. It's written in the stars. Na Oyo state we dey talk

afroniger:


That is the secret behind the 'staying power' of all successful political 'godfathers'. The educated class of voters seem to be oblivious of this fact though, it seems. Tinubu is only relevant because the grassroots still support his leadership. They are the real influencers who can motivate the real voters at the grassroots with PVCs to go out and vote on election day. The day he loses their support is the day he will lose his relevance. Many of the ones that come online to rant don't even live in Lagos nor will they go out to stand in line to vote (that is even if hey have PVCs) but they make a lot of useless noise all over the place.

Shuku0kukobambi:


I'm tired of educating the emotional dunces we have on NL. See how OUK strolled into Abia with APC and he commandeered a whole senatorial zone because of street credibility?

That's what Buhari has. That's what Tinubu has. That's what Atiku doesn't have that made him get flogged like a class dullard. Even Kwankwaso used him as mascot for his kwankwasiya movt and the mumu thought they were campaigning for him.

Olusola Saraki never lost the street till he died. Adedibu never lost the street till he died. Ojukwu never lost the streets till he died. If Tinubu doesn't lose the confidence of the grassroots, only death will end his relevance.

raumdeuter:


Tinubu has something which most people dont understand that is why he will always excel

1. He is a grassroot man. He might be rich but he never forgets his poor people like Vulcanisers, market women, conductors etc. who are always loyal to him.
WHen tinubu was governor we used to hear of how he goes to Island to his root to hang out with boys even smoke weed with them. But other politicians will get to power and only stick to VGC and Ikoyi
Elections are not won by elites in VGC rather by artisans in Iyana-Ipaja

Fashola spent 8yrs as governor, Ambode spent 4, How many times did they go to all these lowly people. At a time Fashola was tagged governor of Lagos Island since they dont feel his effect in low places. That is why none of them can win their ward if Tinubu goes against them.

Tinubu always reminds his followers never to forget the grassroot because they will determine your fate. All those who forgot the grassroot always suffer

agabusta:


Give Ajimobi appointment ke? That would be a fatal error.

The ministerial appointment should be given to Adelabu for him to show us his worth. That Ajimobi with his arrogance and uncouth utterances deserve nothing but political oblivion.

Election loss at a particular time, is just a temporary set back as we have witnessed since 1999. Kudos to Adelabu for his efforts.

Back in the University, my Lagos guys who were close to ojuyobo (as Tinubu was known that time) used to regal us with tales of how he drives himself to party with the boys of isale eko and other places at ungodly hours. I used to wonder how possible.

It's a lesson I applied at my first place of work after graduation and till today, years after leaving there, I still benefit from it. There's nothing like the loyalty of guys at the lower rungs. Nothing as pure

raumdeuter:


Same I heard. Those days in the early 2000 I even heard gists that one day Tinubu was high and was asking his fellow weed guys at Isale-Eko
"Won ma n pemi lojuyobo, e gbo, shey oju eleyi jobo" They all started laughing

I heard how he frequently visit his mother in Lagos Island and plays with all the area boys

One thing is when you are in a high position, always be nice to people way below you. They already expect you to be proud and arrogant, by being so nice and meeting them on their level, they will respect you extra

And one thing, those type of people are more loyal than the rich folks

I am from Oyo State, I support APC but I am also glad Ajimobi lost. His arrogance was out of this world, he speaks like he is doing people a favour by being governor

I hope Seyi succeeds as it will benefit us all. I hope he doesnt go back to the pattern of PDP in Oyo of old

afroniger:
You people must always find a way to drag Tinubu into everything. Ajimobi did two terms and failed to influence the election of his handpicked successor and you are blaming Tinubu just because he is supporting his party's candidates. This isn't a surprise though because one can't attain Tinubu's stature politically without attracting fierce political foes.

BluntBoy:


So, Tinubu should have just sat down and pretended not to be an APC chieftain?

The way you people reason, ehn. Totally disgusting!!!
