Na order?

ilugunboy:

Na order?

Nobe order. You made it sound as if everyone should be under Tinubu's bondage forever in order to be relevant politically.

Enough is enough of Sole Administratorship in Ekiti State!

Not all...but in this case...Tinubu is his political mentor...I wouldn't comment like that if it's another person

Thats also an option but if Bamidele is smart he would wait till 2018 when he would be top dog.

Let him burn the bridges now and see what awaits

Blooody HYPOCRITE....

24 hours is a long time in politics, let alone five years. If he waits until 2018, chances are that he would have lost ground by then, and a new order might be in place. Nothing is guaranteed.

The only problem I see here is that I don't think PDP would give him the ticket. I don't know whether he is strong enough to win on the platform of parties like Labour Party. . . .he is no Iroko.

The thing is ACN has an advantage in the SW already and I dont think he is big enough to fight an incumbent with the force of Tinubu behind him

He already worked with Tinubu and he knows the might of Jagaban

Moreover 2018 is not far in Nigerian politics.

Jimi Agbaje was a contestant in 2007 and 6yrs later he is still one of the most talked about contenders right now in lagos.

Buhari contested in 2003 and still the major challenger 12yrs later

If Bamidele has enough clout he should wait till 2018. There is no incumbent in nigeria who doesnt go for a second term

Bye bye Bamidele.

Competition is a good thing but I don't think he stands a chance...

What are his credentials?
- an ex-Tinubu boy feeling too big for his shoes...

The case of Jimi Agbaje, Tokunbo Afikuyomi, Femi Pedro et. al. in 2007 comes to mind. Am an apostle of healthy competition to bring about greater development in the polity. Good luck to him!
