HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND

Dansuqi:


Atiku is not loved by Adamawa people.he has struggled to control Adamawa since 2003.if he is loved,he would not lose his unit,he will win massively the way makinde did in Oyo,the way apc did in kwara,the way buhari does in kano and katsina,the way Lyon smashed diri.atiku won buhari by just 30,000 votes.buhari actually won more lgas.before the guber poll,majority of apc chieftains were against bindowo the then governor including Aisha.only boss mustapha was with him so him winning was always going to be almost impossible..

Same scenario happened in bauchi.majority of apc chieftains right from 2015 after the elections were against abubakar.even when dogara was in apc,he was against him.it got worse after the apc guber primaries.heavyweights who lost in the primaries like Ali pate,yakubu lame clearly allied with pdp to remove abubakar.out of the 20 LGAs,apc won 13,pdp won 7.and out of that 7 pdp won,it won 6 by margins less than 5000 but won bauchi LGA with about 50,000 margin which settled the matter.you cannot say that he was loved.it was clearly a bipartisan gangup and he won by just 20,000 votes.
Governor bala Mohammed is not a poor man as you think.he is stinkingly rich,he was former fct minister and looted billions.he was on efcc list,his sons have severally displayed millions of naira on social media and drives luxurious cars.efcc have picked them severally.

I never cited zamfara.what happened to ambode will likely befall obaseki.he cannot win outside apc.he has performed well and is loved but not loved overwhelmingly like fashola.he's not politically as solid as you think.Adams still has a lot of political influence.
I am a guru in electoral matters,take it from me that he will lose outside apc.ize iyamu his likely opponent is equally popular and also from Benin like Godwin.whoever wins here will do so narrowly.same thing will happen I'm Edo central.In Edo north,oshio holds sway and will rout anybody there

Good. Let's keep our fingers crossed

so obasekis chief of sstaff was a yoruba man. he sounds like a detribalised man

So u dont knw we have indigenous yorubas in edo state

DeLaRue:


Some people from Akoko-Edo local government bear Yoruba names. It shares a border with Ondo State.

The forebears of those with Yoruba surnames were Yorubas and will have spoken the language, but many of the current generation can't speak Yoruba at all. The connection is mostly lost. They are Edo folks now.

You're wrong. Taiwo Akerele (and his twin brother, Kehinde) are Igbira (Ebira) from Akoko Edo LGA in Edo north. They're part of the Igbira communities that cut into Edo State while the majority of Igbira people are inside Kogi state. Igbira people are not yoruba but just like okun people (in Kogi west), Awori in Lagos + several other ethnicities, their language is a yoruba based language - every bit like yoruba and sometimes, it's even like they're speaking yoruba and their names are yoruba names all the way. I know very many of them.

That’s a lie. Akoko Edo is filled with Yoruba’s who were cut into Edo state. There are some Igbiras but mostly Yoruba descendants.

you're right. I never said it's IMPOSSIBLE . I said it's HARD.

In adamawa, the people loved Atiku. He was vying for presidency under the pdp. The guber candidate won under his influence. Dont forget same scenario played out when Atiku declared for the APC before the going became messy and he pulled out.

In Bauchi, bala Muhammad wasn't a magician. In fact, he didn't have the power or resources to tackle the incumbent who belonged to the ruling party. But bala was loved by his people and the rest was history.

In zamfara, the case get 'k' leg and you know what happened. It was a different scenario which didn't have anything to do with love or preference. They had issues during primaries.

Back to obaseki, ask any edo man or woman today, they'll tell you they're for obaseki and not any candidate else. Ize iyamu is also an edo man but people overwhelmingly support obaseki in edo state. Here in lagos when ambode was doing his own thing, the people reacted. The primary didn't go in his favour as planned by the godfather whom a large section of lagosians see as a political figure to be reckoned with. I recall when fashola was having a similar feud with Tinubu back then. Tinubu threatened to stop him from contesting again and lagosians said no way! That even if he crossed to any party and picked their ticket, they would vote him and he would win. Tinubu was scared and just allowed him to do the second term...it was because of the love we had for him. The beef still continued during the choice of minister. Tinubu didnt pick fashola but baba said he preferred Fashola and that ended the case.

Obaseki is a man of the people in edo. If primary doesn't favour him under the apc, he would leave the party and pick a ticket under a other party...that is very clear and he would win, not because he has all the money to throw around. Edo people love him and that alone is key.

Well said

dokyOloye:
Obaseki will retire Oshiomole from politics.
Das all

For your mind

Obaseki right now..

North Yoruba, but Edo North. Akoko Edo precisely, they bear Yoruba names. Just like some part of Edo like Igbanke bear Igbo names.

Evergreen4:
He can go. Obaseki has done well as a governor. I think he deserves another 4 year. If yahaya bello of kogi state who is one of worst governors in Nigeria could get second term ticket unopposed , them obaseki deserves it too because he's 1000 times better than Bello.

Ambode was also better than Bello, yet he was kicked out.
My dear politics is far beyond who is doing well

Edo state is not Lagos state. Oshiomole is not Tinubu
