It seems the new thing now is calling on people to resign at the slightest difference in opinion. Jega should ensure that no one is defranchised and wherever he thinks there is a need for an additional polling unit, he shouldn't hesitate to establish one.

Apc is doom in Ogun. God has a way of saving the Yorubaland from Northern hegemony party by bourdellion emperor for oil blocks.

Apc is going down day by day

When I said it that Amosun's flyovers and bridges won't return him in 2015 recently, some deluded clowns threw jabs at me when they don't even know the situation of things in the state. Na oversabi wan kill the man political career

This is very obvious, most especially in the South West which used to be their stronghold. Like the Yorubas don’t want to play second fiddle to the Northerners after what they did to MKO.
That is why they will never vote for Buhari, they have already rejected him thrice and they will again reject him next year.

I hate politicians

You are a clown, have the generations of your forefathers ever witnessed the rapid development Amosun brought to Ogun State? Has the election been conducted and won by your paymasters in the opposition party?
I pity Osoba and his agents of darkness, he (Osoba) has constructed his political coffin. The defection of irrelevant politicians to PDP/SDP cannot change the political theory in Ogun State. Tell it to the birds, the people of Ogun state will speak and bring Amosun back as their Governor comes 2015 by the grace of God.
There is no Ogboni power or societies that Osoba belongs to that can alter the mind of God.

When will the ignoramus IG start withdrawing their security details? PDP looting for ways to make the House of Assembly a subsidiary of the killer party.

I'm not surprised by your comments, I will let it pass. Just remember that was the same way you bluffed prior to ekiti elections before loosing woefully and your party started screaming stomach infrastructure.
Mr. Soothsayer, I bet you think SIA is contesting for the post of the elder of your family.
Ma worry, O ma too ka lojuee bii film-trick

Yeah..... Let's keep our fingers crossed till then. But if you are really familiar with the political atmosphere, you would know that amosun has lost touch with grassroots especially in the east and west senatorial districts..... His 20 LGA tour is just an avenue to regain his lost relevance..... But this is a bitter pill that APC and one deluded clown that quoted me earlier can't swallow

even if u wnt 2 illustrate ur point u don't abuse or som1s generation,dont be 2 emotional, wen u see dem u shal no dem apshit supporters

i no talk am

Iro lo ma pa APC

APC is and will lose more states in the SW such as Ogun, Oyo and Lagos because they have not considered others when doing things. They are self-centred and Tinubu centred.

This is good news.

major466:
This is good news.

Yes oh, anything to stop touts and murderers from taking over the South West is very very fine by me

Where is Olisa Alakoba the lawyer to come talk about this defection in Ogun State.

Today I also declare for PDP

The governor is too stubborn.

Alagidi yiibo.

Ile titu mon lori (the house don pafuka for his head).

Allowing political office holders such as Governors and parliamentarians to decamp from one party to another close to elections is not going to help us as a nation. If you feel strong about dumping your party then you should resign from the office you benefited through the party. I wonder why politicians don't easily decamp in other civilised democracies. We need strong party systems where people are loyal to their parties. That way we can have parties with ideology not what we have now.They are not fighting for the masses but for control and their pockets - the 5 govs, Tambuwal, the 8 Ogun lawmakers and others.

Hope say all dis pple wey dey cross carpet neva tear all d carpet wey dey abeokuta.



*Modified*
its only APC members that has being defecting to other parties and not the other way round. Wetin Amosun do una sef?

Yes Governor Ibikunle Amosun is trying his best in Ogun State but as the situation stand now he is a goner. ACN benefited from the polarization of Ogun State PDP chapter in 2011 and the same evil is now repeating itself in APC he cannot escape with a divided house (Party). Let he die-hard supporters of APC understand this.
