Lagos Gubernatorial Debate

I have just finished watching the first leg of the Channels Television organised Lagos State Gubernatorial Debate.

The contestants on board today where;

Jimi Agbaje    (DPA)

Babatunde Fashola   (AC)

Femi Pedro      (Labour Party)

Musiliu Obanikoro   (PDP)


Fellow Nairalander let us judge them from what they have said and their acts during the live televised debate.

Who amongst the lot that hitherto you don't have a mind for, has won you over based on his  contributions,programs,plans,antecedents and goodwill to the plight of the good people of Lagos that includes all of us.

In short who will you cast your vote for based on the debate.[i][/i][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]

For me it is Musiliu Obanikoro for handling the AC candidate in the rightful and matured manner.

Seun, poll?

I am down with Femi Pedro. He sure knows where he is going; and has what it takes to transform Lagos. Although I have not watched him debate on television, I have listened to him on Rhythm FM. He articulated his programmes in such a way that the are buyable. Let's vote for him.

@jydoh

what are you talking about? are you sure you watched what we all watched

Obanikoro was definitely the poorest candidate and I can't place what u mean by Koro handling Fashola because by all standards they are not in the same league just like even the debate showed Fashola was the most comported

Koro for wetin, he was the most lousy with his shairman-Chairman, foters-voters pronunciation incoherent and aggressive way of making a point. Infact you can only take a thug to the senate you can't take the thuggery from him reminds me of Agbero's at bus stops wonder what he would do when the pressure of governance gets to him- he would burn down Alausa just kile he did in an earlier capacity.
Fashola was very calm and collected throughout, same wit Jaykay, shows the ability t handle pressure. Pedro lost his mien when Agbaje attacked him.

Koro(3rd term campaigner) even denied that he supported withholding LG funds why can't he stand by and defend his actions at the senate like Pedro and Fashola did.

Koro does not know what he is talking about : 1 refuse ground in Lagos? get your fact right 

 agbaje for governor
all koroi fans are agero
fashola good but he will be manipulated
pedro has been used and dumped

That's precisely why people like me are always calling for privatization and limited government. 

if you start off by admiring someone because they are good looking, you will inevitable start agreeing with anything they say or do! its called thinking with ur koko  

It happens to me you know- and I'm not even blowing my own trumpet  

vist channels website

I wish u will stop the physical admiration. Because i see a capitalist government he intends to run . Our dear Lagos has a lot of poor masses 



@least he doesnt know politics but he spoke from what he heard from the candidates

A repeat broadcast of the debate is today, Sun 25th March, 2007. Channels. 7:30pm. Don't miss it again please. Let know who's most capable of governing lagos. I didnt also see it. But I saw the 2nd episode that featured, Afikuyomi (ANPP), Gbajabiamila (AD), Ohimai (FDP) and Bakare (PPA). The best person for me is Uche Ibukun Ohimai of the Fresh Democratic Party (FDP). Very articulate, objective, discipline and young. We should also starting thinking in that line, A woman might what we required to salvage things here in Lagos. What d'u guys think?

What's channels website?

Koro was the most incoherent of them all John Momoh had to caution him.he can't be compared to Fashola who is a SAN and knows decorum unlike Koro who we all know that orderliness, decorum and serenity are strange concept to him. He is know to be the director of thugs like one of the debate moderators pointed out the "Koro how do you hope to control your boys".
Vote anybody but Koro. As for me and my household we choose Fashola. Eko o ni baje

Jimi Agbaje gave an impressive performance at the debate. Obanikoro is nothing but a glorified tout. Pedro made a lot of sense as well but his response to Agbajes insinuations was less than acceptable. Fashola spoke well but it seemed like it was something he memorised. Left to me i'll pick Agbaje for Governor anytime anyday. He seems to have more ideas and a clearer vision than the rest of the field. Pedro would also make a good governor. I get the feeling he will make a good administrator and a prudent manager of funds. Fashola, well, i guess we could do worse. Obanikoro, God forbid.

besides, i wish we cld ave a presidential debate, we would knw who's 4 real or who's not,  as far as am concerned, most lagosian ave made up dir minds on who 2 vote 4 because d debate was realy educative, which is cool.

so, y can't we ave a presidential debate.

First of all, it is sad that anybody would rank Fashola in the league of the other contenders A man who stood there and lied to the good people of lagos state that the fourth mainland bridge is an ongoing project, and that the eko akate project is also ongoing What does this man take us for? fools? 5billion naria borrowed since 2001, and not a single bag of cement was bought for the project for the past 6years the project as been ongoing? he must be joking Out of all the candidates, Fashola was the only one who couldn't tell lagosians two Tinubu programs he would continue ( can you imagine) I went there looknig for a vibrant SAN, but I am sorry to say, there is absolutely nothing SOUND about that SAN Infact that is the popular saying now in Lagos

Now as for KORO, you gotta give it to the brotha No doubt in my mind that is the next governor of Lagos state He spoke with passion and thorough understanding of Lagos state and its people (when I say people, I mean the poor the grassroot) I believe thats the man Lagos needs We all saw Pedro flare up like a baby when he was attacked, we don't need that in a leader ( A leader with short temper is not needed for a complex state like Lagos) As for Jimi, I like him He was very composed and prioritized creating wealth for the people and state however, he lacks the experience and knowledge of the PEOPLE hence would find it difficult to govern

If I had to cast my vote, I'll vote for KORO beautiful performance I must say Fashola on the other hand, I couldn't be any disappointed, a SAN that is soo dulllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll, a SAN full of lies How can he tell the people of Lagos state he was elected??? I'm sure u all heard the crowd response when he said that lol  He is not the league of the other candidates, too boring, hated in his office when he was chief of staff, eyes are always red, drinks and smokes irritating candidate to say the least
