Gbawe:


Blame it on how your fellow citizens, even if unpleasant to admit, are over-emotional and vacuously pugnacious. You are right. It is the opinion of the OP. A very ludicrous one at that. One thing many of us fail to account for is the fluid intelligence of those who lead us. They may be greedy and self-serving but they are not self-destructive. Indeed, permanent interest and self-preservation is something we can trust all politicians to be about. GEJ will be bounced if he becomes unpopular enough to the extent the mood of the day shows that the PDP risk losing everything by backing him.

Similarly, Tinubu will be mad pushing his wife to be Governor of a State with the strategic importance of Lagos if that sort of move will strengthen the opposition and lose the Party swing/undecided votes or even ACN stalwarts who will be disillusioned with the side-lining of meritorious 'apprentices' and those who have contributed to develop Lagos and are up to speed with issues.

The 2015 project is even bigger than Lagos or any singular character and will involve a lot of actors and scenarios even Tinubu must respect. What I am saying will become obvious to Nigerians soon. If some want to keep childishly fearing and deifying men like Tinubu as if they are gods , without recognising the power in their own arms, then please be my guest. It is the reason IBB arrogantly said young people are not ready to lead. He observed many of us spend too much time worshipping and talking about them and not establishing our own identities as ready and able/superior replacements for them. Do any of you see Obama or Tony Blair arrogantly saying American and British youths are not ready to lead?

All I will say is that Tinubu has gotten where he is today by 'knowing the score'. Did he not show he knew the score by sticking with Fashola even when the usual "Tinubu-is-the-most-powerful-dictator-in-the-entire-world" sought to convince us Fashola would be dumped as the ACN candidate in 2011? We need to start reading the tarot cards better in Nigeria instead of being gullible and unhelpfully emotional/sentimental always.

OAM4J:

Will you then prefer Bode George indirect rule?

Until we have a better alternative to ACN we will insist ACN should present a candidate we can trust. No to PDP.

The OP is only having fun though. Even Asiwaju himself will laugh at the joke.

OAM4J:

You are the one that is about to fall into the same mistake of 'I voted for Jonathan not PDP' we are living witnesses to the result of that error.

enyice:


sequel to your apt analysis, you are still yet to sincerely profer any objective comment void of emmotion and sentiments.


You are not mandated to manufacture a response to every poster on this thread.


I understand, your emotional attachment and dedication to the ACN cause. You are human afterall but do us all a favour and calm your nerves for the sake of your dignity.


HAPPY NEW YEAR.

alj harem:

How is Bode George ruling indirectly when he is no long the zonal chairman ? Why do you people always attach Bode George to current PDP people. Id PDP was that bad, Bode George would have walk free unlike Tinubu

Moreover is he not 100 million times better than Tinubu ?

Yes there are better alternative to Tinubu ACN is likes of Jimi, Dosumu etc

Demdem:

Tinubu is no saint but the ex-convict is no way better than tinubu.

alj harem:

LOL so now you are voting for ACN not Tinubu even though it is call that Tinubu is the "god" of ACN unlike PDP where there is internal democracy.

Billyonaire: Nigeria's decay should not be blamed on PDP, because before Democracy was Military Governments. We have seen many advanced economies that were built by military dictators. Nigeria's problems should be blamed on our psyche as a people. PDP Governments of Akwa Ibom and Cross River States have proven that our problem isnt PDP, it is our regional behavioral stereotypes. Without any insult meant, an average Western Nigerian is a thug, behaves like a thug and rants like a thug, so it will not be surprising if we have a Governor, that promotes the use of thuggery to achieve an aim. It will not also be surprising to have a Governor in the South East who with due respect, will use cheat-tactics to defraud the state treasury cos it is stereotypical for an average igboman to cheat others in business. Will it be surprising then if there is an ACN, PDP or even CPC Governor in the North that will use official fiat to promote the love of Islam and entremisms ? Benin People are known as those guys that are fuccking greedy and alwayss wanna show off at the clubs and they are very good in militancy, so are you surprise if someone tells you the behavior of Ibori in power ? Listen, a people, get the leader they deserve. So irrespective of political affiliation we will almost always find stereotypical behavior promoting certain traits attributable to the ethnicity which the leader originates. OBJ (PDP) was a thug in power with due respect, Tinubu (ACN) was a thug in office, Oji Uzor Kalu (PDP) was a fraud in power. What is the solution to our problems ? We need to build very strong political institutions with tough terms of reference and manifesto and make sure these institutions are not regional so that we can all checkmate each other. Tinubu should not be bigger than ACN, in as much as we hate PDP but I am sorry to tell you that PDP is the only true national party and I am sure PDP will retain power at Federal level till the next 99 yrs 'if' there is no other national opposition party. You all will be here on Nairaland and you will see how PDP will continue to win and win again and again, cos Tinubu will not want to loosen his grip on ACN and Buhari will not loosen his grip on CPC and APGA is still a local champion in the East. I preach today that we should build institutions and stop promoting Tinubu instead of ACN. If Tinubu dare fields his wife as ACN Governorship Candidate, he will hear from Lagosians and I mean it. It will be the end of Asiwaju Company of Nigeria as we know it. I am Lagosian and I have the right to decide who governs me.

And was Awolowo not an ex-convict ? Look at what he turned Western Nigeria into

OBJ was an ex-convict

Mandela was a convict

Tinubu the thief who is not an ex-convict ALWAYS INSPIRE TO BE LIKE ONE OF THESE PEOPLE. so what are we saying

Mamora Olorunnimbe?

niggadee: mamora ko mamora ni that Greedy Mustache

alj harem: @ egbon gbawe and co.

Forget it, ACN is not winning Lagos state again. It is time we lagosians try another party. ACN ruling Lagos simply mean Tinubu is still ruling and to be frank with you my brothers we don't want Tinubu's hands in Lagos again for reasons you know of.

Just as funsho's death made way for fashola so would ACN make way for another Lagos state hero aka Ade dosumu.

Don't let fashola sentiment blind u all to the fact that another person out ACN can make Lagos state even greater.

Gbawe:


Correct. Adeleke Olurunnimbe Mamora does not feature, even minimally, in plans concerning the 2015 Lagos Governorship. His time is past. Totally irrelevant chap. Sorry to say.

niggadee: i disagree with your sentiment it's very inaccurate. lets conversation after conversation you will realize who is the smart one.

W.0 Clinton:
Hahaha...the question most of u should ask is-was she supposed to be a senator,if your answer is yes; then support her candidature. Let's see how a family party will ever win a presidential election in Nigeria.Ali Community Niggaz A-C-N.

CFCfan: After some self abnegation and immolation, I have come to the conclusion that Senator Oluremi Tinubu is the best person to occupy the Lagos state Governor's seat, come May 29, 2015.

Though she hasn't made significant contributions to Senate debates, her poise, charm, charity causes and her excellent political skills makes her frontrunner in d race to succeed the indefatigable Governor Fashola.

If she eventually decides to run for the office, be rest assured that She would become the first elected female governor in Nigeria. She would definitely continue from where Fashola stopped, ramping up the efforts to turn Lagos into the economic capital of Africa. The ACN machine is still a colossus in Lagos, nay the Southwest.

seanet01: True Lagosians known themselves. You are just a resident not an omo oni ile. If you are A Lagosian let me see your posters in Lagos campaigning for just house of assembly.

shymexx: Who on this thread is from Lagos??

Let the Lagos indigenes choose who they want!! Jheez!!
