The victory of the All
Progressives Congress (APC)
Governor Rauf Aregbesola of
Osun State on Saturday has been
described as not a loss to the
main opposition Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) but to
its candidate, Iyiola Omisore.
The National Leader of Accord
Party and the former governor of
Oyo State, Rashidi Ladoja,
stated this in his reaction to the
re-election of Aregbesola in a
chat with journalists.
It was at the installation of
Nureni Aderemi Adeniran as the
third President of Rotary Club
of Ibadan, Jericho-Metro District
9125 at the weekend.
Ladoja alleged it was because of
Omisore’s lack of acceptable
personality to galvanise the
support of the people of the
state, who were desirous of
change, but who could not find
in the two-term Senator the kind
of personality to invest their
votes in.
The former Oyo State helmsman
recalled what he said after the
Ekiti State election that the
Ekiti people voted for Ayodele
Fayose and not the PDP.
He said people of Osun State did
not reject PDP but Omisore
because of his controversial
personality.
He lauded the election, which
he described as the will of the
people and congratulated both
the governor and the people for
a successful electoral outing.
Ladoja in his comment during
the programme had raised
question about the proposed
$1bn loan being requested for
by President Goodluck Jonathan
to fight insurgency, wondering
why such a huge amount of loan
to fight a pocket of insurgents
when the country is not at war?
“Nigeria fought a civil war for
three years without borrowing a
kobo and we are now going to
take a whooping $1 billion loan
to fight insurgents, one may
need more facts to really
understand what’s going on,” he
stated.
The former governor, who about
two weeks ago declared that he
would seek his party’s
nomination for the state
governorship election reiterated
his commitment to the project
and assured that the people of
the state should expect the
government formed by Accord
Party in 2015.

GBAM, U ARE 100% RIGHT.

That is a lie. No one from PDP apart from Omisore had much electoral value. Omisore is an Ife man, a section of the state that had high number of voters. A better candidate does not necessarily translate to high electoral value.

So true!

A better candidate like Adeleke would have given PDP more votes than what Omisore had, but certainly won't still be enough to beat Aregbesola.

Osogbo(Osogbo & Olorunda) + Iwo and the Ijesha's vote is enough to make any candidate win. Fortunately for Aregbe, those are his stronghold.

Can Adeleke pull that much votes from Ife? Omisore was the closest bet to getting the state off Aregbe but Aregbe is just too good a politician to let go

wat?

BishopMagic:

wat?

Are you challenging that statement ?

Fashola vs Jonathan OR Buhari vs Jonathan. In an election across Nigeria, Who will garner more votes against jonathan ?

Omisore has that look of a very wicked and vindictive man. His facial appearance alone is almost enough to convince anyone he killed Bola Ige. A picture of him greedily eating two roasted corns at a time with both hands and his Adolf Hitler style moustache didn't /doesn't help him either!

Jonathan is the better candidate as having satisfied all provisions at the polls.

That is what democracy is all about, abi?

I dont get what you are yapping about?

In simpler language a candidate who is more qualified( knowlege, ability to perform e.t.c ) might perform poorly at the polls than a less qualified candidate . assuming both are fielded on the same platform. That is one of the drawbacks of democracy, especially in a setup like Nigeria where sentiments richly guide the choice of the majority of electorates.

Democracy once failed in the bible.

Jesus or Barnabus ? Pontius Pilate asked the people.

The people picked Barnabas the criminal. Was Barnabas a better man than Jesus.

Most times, over qualified candidates never ever make good leaders. You need someone who is knowledegable but willing to work and take advice from smarter people.
BTW Fashola or any of your boko broom sweepers is no where comparable to GEJ when it comes to leadership, patience and tolerance and that is what Nigerians need and not some fascist bigot operating on fiat.

The Plebs also denounced Caeser as a dictator after Brutus' eulogy only to later side by Anthony after his own speech.

Jesus was not a political figure but a political threat to the Sanhedrin that is why they mobolized the crowd to have him killed.

Same thing you Jnajaweeds are doing by trying to force feed Nigerians with that despot, Buhari

What makes a candidate overqualified? It must be people who reason like you who picked Barnabas ahead of Jesus

Anybody with any experience in Management will tell you that Technical experience is not always the key to Managerial success.

You need an individual who is a team leader who is willing to lead and listen to his own team.

This is why most Nigerians prefer Abokis as head in any organization since they know they don't know but are willing to give their ear and support to those who know to see to it that they succeed.

BTW, how does Fascist Fash compare to GEJ? GEJ is light years ahead of Fashole!

Lets not derail the thread, but i think Buhari looks like a political threat to PDP's 15 year empire, as such they have mobilised mobs like you to scream supporter of APC everywhere to deface him PDP boasted some years back , they will rule for at least 60 years, now they have a party threatening their empire.

You are obviously posting from somewhere in Osun. Buhari is by far the most hated politician in the north among Northern politicians and statesmen. No single one trusts him and they will not give him their backing. This is why he(Buhari) formed his own party, the CPC out of the regional ANPP.

Only misguided and easily manipulated almajiris support him.

11 million "almajiris" northern votes for the most hated politician in the north among northern politician.


Such kind of hate must be prolific.

The Plebs are both a scourge and blessing to any politician in a democracy.

As long as the north remains ignorant, diseased, dirt poor and religiously conservative then expect them to still align themselves alongside primordial religious and ethnic lines.

In my opinion Nigeria is not yet ripe for universal suffrage especially in the North and in backward myopic xenophobic states like Osun.

Funny man he is. He started eating corn in the public a week to election but he heard it worked for Fayose.
