You mean Godfathers like Senator Ekweremandu and Governor Wike

They are not godfathers...
Ekweremadu had no hand in the emergence of ugwuanyi.. His state governor

Think godfather... Think Tinubu

Say no to godfatherism

Ekweremadu is a godfather either you like it or not. Just because he is not as effective as Tinubu does not mean he is not. Its like saying Iheanacho is not a footballer because he is not as good as Lionel Messi. How do you spend 16 years and still counting in Abuja? Even Remi Tinubu has not spend up to 10 years in Abj.

Oyegun wouldn't have been APC chairman without godfatherism. Who heard of him pre been hand picked? It was supposed to be Tom Ikimi
Re: Why Political Parties Should Do Away With Godfathers – Oyegun by SirBunky85(m): 5:42pm On Jun 01, 2019

See this man?

Tom Ikimi was to become the first Chairman of APC before Tinubu (and ors) checkmated him and anointed Oyegun as the Chairman. The same Oyegun is now talking about doing away with godfathers today.

Will he have become APC Chairman without those godfathers?
don't mind the man.an average politician is just an unrepentant hypocrite

Stop arrogating to people power they do not have. How exactly did Tinubu helped Buhari to win the last election? What was the total vote cast of south west for Tinubu? Buhari struggled to win the south west even in Lagos Atiku gave him a run for his money. Tinubu has only one vote, without him, Buhari would still have won the last election using his incumbency strength. Jonathan lost because he was a true democrat and Lily livered. Cut us the Tinubu crap. He is no God.

All of these where also deplored by Tinubu in 2007 for Atiku under AC and for Nuhu Ribadu in 2011 under ACN. What were the results? A distant third. Buhari won in 2015 because Jonathan was a true democrat, gentle and Lily livered. Buhari won because the North wants power back full stop. Cut me the Tinubu crap.

You saw my response why the pretence? I said your God Tinubu displayed his prowess in 2007 and 2011 when he was beaten silly, his sponsored candidates came distant third on both elections. In 2015 Buhari won because the Otueke man was a democrat, a fear fear woman wrapper and because the born to rule north wanted power at all cost else blood will flow. Buhari's victory has nothing to do with Tinubu's non existent influence. What was Buhari total votes in south west in the last election?

Please don't quote me again if you lack the needed intelligence quotient to engage in a discuss.

Then why is it that Ekweremandu has spent more than 16 years in Abuja? Is he the ONLY one in Enugu qualified to fill that seat? Keep fooling yourself.

You got it wrong bro. Tinubu operates on the national level while you god Ekweremadu operates on a very local level. That's why nobody knows the name of the local people he has put in local strategic positions in alaigbo. tongue They are all godfathers, just that Tinubu is far more skillful than most.

Absolutely correct that he's not God and he can never be God but Buhari himself can't deny the contribution of Tinubu on his victory in 2015 that enhanced that power of incumbency in 2019... Take it or leave it Tinubu is very brilliant politically than many politicians in Nigeria of today, that's why his foes increasing daily.

I’m not aware there is a political party in Nigeria with a policy of godfatherism. Saying political parties should do away with godfathers is simply playing to the gallery. People shout about godfather when they lose out. Oyegun himself was heavily supported by APC godfathers before he could emerge as APC national chairman.

In the case of Lagos, Ambode was never denied the chance to contest. He contested and lost to the incumbent governor.

Even in the US, it was the establishment of the Democratic Party that ensures Hilary Clinton got the party presidential ticket against Bernie Sanders in the last election. No party can do away with political leaders who have paid their dues.
nonsense
