Fayose: Lagos Is Ripe For Takeover By PDP by Officialhorlah(m): 7:10am On Oct 01, 2020
A former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has said that Lagos State is ripe for the Peoples Democratic Party to take over in subsequent elections.

Fayose was quoted by his media aide, Lere Olayinka, as saying, “Lagos is ripe for the PDP to take and we will take the state if we work hard and put our house in order.”

This was contained in a statement titled, “Lagos PDP must retire Bode George to make progress, urges support for BOG to win senatorial bye-election – Fayose,” in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday.

Olayinka said his principal said this during the inauguration of the PDP Campaign Committee for the Lagos East Senatorial bye-election.

Fayose was quoted as saying, “This senate election is for the PDP to take if we are ready to take it. You have done it before by producing House of Representatives members and you can do it again by producing a senator.

“Before PDP can win any election in this Lagos, the party must first separate wheat from the chaff.

“It is high time Bode George is told to go and retire. Let him be a support stand for the younger ones in the party.

“As an elder, Bode George is supposed to stay at home and be giving blessing to his children aspiring to grow, not to be contending positions with them.”

This is where you need freedom. All your former Govs in the state are in Abuja as Senator. The 2 Orjis, are your serving Senators while the 3rd Senator same from Abia ,is the known (hypocrite )Abaribe . A 2 time deputy Gov. Abaribe has been in power since 1999. This is where you need to free yourself from slavery.
Orji son is coming as the next Gov while presently he's the Speaker of AHOA

This frontal attack against Bode George's leadership of Lagos PDP by Ayo Fayose shows that there's a serious crack in the SW PDP. Bode George is in Seyi Makinde's camp, while most of the SW party chairmen are in Fayose's camp. This also shows that the PDP candidate in the upcoming Lagos senatorial election may not have Bode George's endorsement. Even the Lagos PDP is divided; one camp is loyal to Bode George and a factional chairman, while another is loyal to another faction that has Uche Secondus endorsement. In short, Lagos PDP isn't ready.

You even have time answering that bitter lemon. They will never see anything good in Lagos yet they want to die there. To them it was the military alone that built all the bridges, flyovers, and other infrastructures in Lagos of today, while the state governors since '99 haven't done anything. The Lekki/Epe expressway, Ambode's flyovers, Oshodi terminal, Tinubu/Fashola bridges, flyovers, BRT scheme, Eko Atlantic, were all built by the military. Very useless set of people.

So all the infrastructures in Lagos were done by military that left Lagos over 22yrs ago now. Most of you will never stop to be silly

Lagos should be seen as a trophy in battle between Oshoko and Jagaban.

The gains of Lagosians should be paramount, that is the development and well being of its citizens.

Kwara state has kicked Saraki Dynasty
Edo state just kicked Oshiomole attempt at Godfatherism
Is lagos state ready

The last gubertonoral election in Edo state was seen as a fight against fatherism in Nigeria.The country seems to have a group of godfather’s who controls the activities in the country.. Late minister of information and National Orientation Prof Dora Acquinly refered to them as the Northern Cabals. The group decides who wins election and who wins is made a president. Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan disagreement with Cabal contributed to his removal from office

Each region has its own Godfather. Ex governor of lagos state Bola Tinibu is said to be Godfather in of lagos and Osun state.The people obey him . When he sneezes,the people catches cold. Whomever he annoites win the election. He controls the state assembly, state tax system, transport system and Agberos . Whoever disagrees with Tinibu disagrees is an enemy of the state.

Chief Saraki was a strong political heavy weight in Kwara state. His son Dr Bukola Saraki benefited from his dad dynasty. His daughter was a senator. His fall out with the APC government marked the begining of the downfall of the Saraki Dynasty. The people were tired of one family dictatorship. They wanted a new face.

Among the Igbos, It is difficult single out one Godfather. In 2003, the west thought chief Odimegwu Ojukwu would be the sole presidential candidate from the south east.They were wrong. The then Abia state Governor refused to withdraw his presidential aspiration for the great warlord.The Igbos were not surprised.

Former Governor Rochas Okorocha attempted to install his son in law- Mr Uche Nwosu as next governor fell flat.Uche Nwosu failed to win the party governorship ticket. The mass did not want that either.

What makes God fatherism easier in other region and difficult in Igbo land. ? Chief Odimegwu Ojukwu when asked in August 1991 if he was the igbo leader. He responded

The Igbos cannot be led.Every Igbo man leads himself,I am the spokesman of the Igbos.

The igbo man choose someone to speak on their behalf.His words reflect that of the people. The people tell him what to say.He does not tell the people what to do. The moment he begins to say words contrarily to that of the people, his position as a speaker is threatened. Rochas Okorocha knew little about this for he grew up in the North. His defection to APC and his romance with the North without first seeking the opinion of the people was his first undoing.. Imposing his in- law on his people was the second undoing.

A typical Igbo man is not one to be told what to do. Everything Igbo man thinks for himself and takes decision based on his own thoughts.The task of thinking for himself should never be transfered to another. No one tells an Igbo man whom to vote. A Yoruba man may vote a candidate because his father or political Godfather ask him to. The region values respect for elders highly.. A northerner may vote a candidate because his king or religious leaders told him to. The region values intra- group cooperation and obedience to authority. An Igbo chief openly disagrees with the king during cabinet meeting. Sons disagree with their father during kinsmen gathering. Igbo value the self. To convince an Igbo man to vote a candidate, you need to convince him of the benefit of such act to him. It should make him better than his present state for an Igbo man loves to develop. Only then can his mind be convinced to vote the candidate.

This mindset is not without it’s short comming. Since Igbos are self- centered, they are most likely to go to any continent of the world and make it. The self centeredness promotes self- desire over communal want. Igbos tend to be more competitive rather than cooperative. It is not unheard of to hear three brothers fight till death over a piece of land. It is difficult to convince an Igbo man to step down for another the way key northerners stepped down for Buhari.The UBA brothers in anambra state are key examples of brothers belonging to different political party. One group of Igbos want restructuring. The other group wants Igbo presidency and the third group prefers an independent nation. Of the last group, a fraction support legal ,peaceful ,way of MASSOB, another prefers the use of abusivee way of IPOB. There are other Biafra movement groups .
