Lagos CAN And The Governorship by ololade2(m): 8:28am On Nov 06, 2014
In South west, it is said that between 1979 - 1983 all the SW states (Ogun, Oyo, Ondo) were ruled by Christian-Christian tickets. Until the advent of Amosun, Ogun state had never had a muslim governor! Just 4 years ago, before Aregbesola, Osun was a under a Christian-Christian ticket (Oyinlola and Obada).

Between 1999 to date, South west has had more christain governors than muslims (Under AD/ACN and PDP)

PDP has produced more Christain governors in SW than other parties. Does that mean PDP is a Christian party?

All this religious antics are crap if you ask me. What is most important is the credibilty and the performance of the one in charge. Little wonder most south westerners doesn't even realise the fact above that there have been more christian governors.

We are crying that our religions are being politicised by the politicians. Now our politics is being religionised as CAN Lagos is openly calling for a Christian governor without having a political party of their own.

I wonder if a Christian governor will be dashing them money all because he/she is a Christian, or Lagos CAN governor want a governor that will be taking him on trips like GEJ is doing to the CAN president, and maybe use his jet for a state assignment one day. #JustBeingCuriousHere.

A Christian Governor is NOT a MUST. This is Lagos for christ sake.

Let he/she with the credible potentials emerge.
