But nobody say anything when Tinubu/Fashola appoint Bamidele as Commissioner for information and Strategy for many years in Lagos State and also sponsored him to contest for the House of Representative which he won under ACN. Why enemies of ACN are complain now? at least BAMIDELE is not from Lagos State. |

tydot3: Bamidele shuld wait 4 his time.he shuld no fayemi wil go 4 a secone term.what is this talk about second term? Have u ever followed the trend of this 2nd term virus? The reason they go for 2nd term is to loot the treasury of the state... check every governor that ever went in for a second term. Na then unable go bite finger dey curse unable governor.... Besides that, before fayemi became the governor what did he do for ekiti state, no matter how little? Now he has the power to loot the states treasury and he gives tokens and you scream praises... ekiti people are known to be smart and very learned, don't fall for cheap enticements.... If fayemi is so loved, why does he feel threatened? He's just a sore loser... He should grow bigger balls and be a man... 2 Likes |

bonetalk: even if he was removed in an undemocratic processWhich undemocratic process? The other 5 members out 6 choose a new caucus chairman What's wrong with that? Jonathan sought to do same to Amaechi in the Rivers state house of reps and NGF but could not muster the numbers just like Bamidele who was removed for not towing the party line Bamidele is obviously on his own He has the right to contest no doubt but when he was commisioner twice was it by internal democracy? Or was he not given the ticket to the house too? Primaries no dey ACN nor PDP nor APGA i.e. Nigerian politics They ALL are sharks in the water. Only some are more merciful in biting than others He's been in ACN long ago to know that So why is he pursuing this without reason and no support structures like Amechi Like I said,he's been enjoying it long enough.....you cant take bribe and now say Nigeria is corrupt..That's hypocrisy for you are part of the problem too BTW, Fayemi is performing  1 Like |

dridowu: If truly pple of Ekiti want him as gov, he shd leave acn to contest in order party, he sd learn frm thre neigbhour state gov (mimiko), who went ahead to contest in unknown party We don't need him. He is just too ambitious. The other time, he quarelled with Ojudu because of Senetorial seat that he did not win. He was then offered membership of house of Rep. He would have alloed Fayemi to finish d second term before showing interest in governorship which he can never win. He is a betrayal like Obanikoro. Do u hear anything abt Obanikoro again in d political field in Nigeria? People who fail to learn from history do easily become history. This guy was nobody b4 he was made a commissioner in Lagos State. He wants to bite the finger that fed him. Well, let him try his power like Mimiko. |

Longeria: sharaaaaaaaaaap, who told you PDP and Acn is the same? PDP is by far better democratic than any other party in Nigeria. I hate hypocrites, is it not the same Acn that had been pushing, encouraging, advising Chibuike AMAECHeat not to obey the party that brought him to power and had been surporting him since he has been doing so. What PDP need to do is to capitalize on this, urge Bamidele fight dirty, create hole in the party then hand him their ticket from there anything can happen.Apparently, you couldn't interpret simple English [img]http://cdn.meme.li/instances/300x300/39507765.jpg[/img] |

Aren't these the same party chieftains that will vote as delegates during any primary. What's the point of using up party resources for a primary when the would be delegates have told you not to bother contesting ? Just wondering |

homesteady:EKITI HAS SIX REPS IN THE HOUSE OF WHICH BAMIDELE IS THE CHAIRMAN. THEY 'RE IDED THEY DON'T WANT HIM TO BE THEIR CHAIRMAN BROS THEY DO NOT SUPPORT HIS GOVERNORSHIP ASPIRATION BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT FO BE ASSOCIATED WITH IT. THE DIFFRENCE HERE IS THAT THE FIVE REPS HAVE EXERCISED THEIR EEMOCRATIC RIGHT. BAM8DELE CAN STILL GO AHEAD TO VIE FOR THE GOVERNORSHIP IF HE IS CONVINCED OF HIS OWN POPULARITY. HIS PEERS IN THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY JUST WANTS TO DISTANCE THEIR CAUCUS FROM HIS ASPIRATION BECAUSE THEY DO NOT SUPPORT IT. PERI9D |

Afam4eva: You see what we keep talking about. A man is shouted upon and punished just because he feels he's qualified to contest for a political office and tomorrow, these ACN/APC people will tell us that they're progressives. I'm not surprised because ACN is a party that does not believe in democratic tenets. They'll rather impose candidates than allow candidates jostle for position.it's very hard to understand you!! Today you support PDP tomorrow APC next tomorrow you support ACN... Witch one you dey nah? |

How can this country develop with people as myopic as you are still breathing. Nigeria will go a long way without people like you. People like you will see the truth and still deny it. |

Tinubu expresses surprise over Opeyemi’s suspension from Ekiti Reps Caucus Premium Times Published: July 10,2013 Former Lagos governor, Bola Tinubu The former Lagos governor demands reversal of the decision to suspend Opeyemi Bamidele. The national leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, Bola Tunubu, has expressed surprise over the suspension of Opeyemi Bamidele from the party’s caucus in the House of Representatives; and called for the reversal of the action. In a statement on Wednesday, Mr. Tinubu said though he has not received an official briefing on the purported suspension of the lawmaker over his plan to contest the 2014 governorship election in Ekiti State, the action of the caucus could truncate ongoing efforts at reconciliation over the ambition. Mr. Opeyemi had, last week, reportedly declared his intention to go ahead with his plan to contest the governorship election even though Mr. Tinubu and other leaders of the party resolved to allow the incumbent, Kayode Fayemi, to run for another four-year term. However, his insistence to enter the race angered his five colleagues in the Ekiti State House of Representatives Caucus, who suspended him from their fold. Those who took the action are Robison Ajiboye, Bamidele Faparusi, Bimbo Daramola, Ifeoluwa Arowosoge, and Oyetunde Ojo. Mr. Tinubu said, “It has been reported that members of the Ekiti State Caucus in the House of Representatives suspended Hon. Michael Opeyemi Bamidele, as their leader because of his alleged declaration to contest the governorship election next year. “I have not seen an official word through the party machinery about this action. However, I feel compelled to speak to dispel rumor and false report from assuming the aspect of fact. “The news of the purported removal of Opeyemi Bamidele came as a surprise. The decision of the members of the Ekiti House Caucus in this regard truncates ongoing efforts at reconciliation, notwithstanding the fact that the party leadership is working hard to reconcile all sides. “What took some members of the leadership of the party to Ekiti State recently was a continuation of the process of appeal and reconciliation. “The objective here is to first understand and iron out the issues that have resorted in a gulf between Opeyemi Bamidele and Governor Kayode Fayemi on one hand and the party towards building a formidable political house in Ekiti.” The former Lagos State Governor, under whom Mr. Opeyemi served as a commissioner, said he does not believe that the caucus members could take such step, adding “I trust their democratic pedigree to highly believe that they would not be used to take this false step which would violate established party rules, processes and traditions.” He stressed that if the National Chairman of the Party, Bisi Akande, was not informed about the plan to suspend Mr. Opeyemi, those who did it should retrace their steps to forestall unnecessary difficulty for themselves and the Ekiti State chapter of the party. “For instance, decisions of this critical nature must be done with the consultation of the national leadership of the party. From what I can gather, our National Chairman and the party’s leadership were never consulted or notified about the pendency of such a stark action,” he said. “For that reason alone, if such an action has been taken, those who did so should retrace their steps to avoid creating an unnecessary difficulty for themselves and the Ekiti chapter of the party. “Beyond the issue of procedure and rules, there is the tiny matter of internal party democracy to consider. I have said before, any party member has a right to contest the governorship of Ekiti or any other state. Any other person, including Opeyemi Bamidele, has the right to. “This right is so fundamental to internal democracy that I do not believe he should be sanctioned at this point where the most he has done is to make unofficial statements about contesting. Our party cannot join the club of other parties that punish members for expressing interests in an office. Mr. Tinubu argued that while Mr. Opeyemi may not be popular among his lawmaker colleagues, he has a right to his beliefs. “We must protect and smother unpopular and minority positions. If we don’t like it, we vote against it at the appropriate time but we do not punish people simply for thinking differently, this is how we must grow our democracy.” “Thus, Opeyemi Bamidele was expressing his democratic rights. To unilaterally suspend him as leader of the House Caucus is a questionable one they should reconsider. “It would appear to contravene the letter and best spirit of party democracy. While we have no problem in him pursuing his democratic ambition without intimidation and persecution, we will continue our efforts at persuading him not to rock the boat and play into the hands of our opponent particularly the PDP shenanigans. “Political conflict, challenges and resolutions are the hallmarks of political association and leadership. Orderly means of all efforts at democratically resolving those conflicts are not endless in any way,” he said. The ACN National Leader urged the members of the caucus to reverse themselves and embrace the process of amicable resolution already put in place by the party. “To do otherwise is to give comfort to those who would seek to divide the Ekiti State chapter of the Action Congress of Nigeria,” Mr. Tinubu said. “We appeal to those promoting these divisions to sheathe their swords in the interest of the party and its ardent followers. We cannot forget so soon the struggle and what it cost us to get to where we are today. We owe it to the Ekiti people and all democrats in the country to sustain and protect this hard won democracy. “All true progressives must rise up in defence of individual freedom and promotion of democratic values. We shall overcome for the good of all,” he added. http://premiumtimesng.com/regional/140690-tinubu-expresses-surprise-over-opeyemis-suspension-from-ekiti-reps-caucus.html |
