Obiagelli:

But some day he is Tinubu's boy

Who is not Tinubus boy among them? 90% of them are product of Tinubu's political empire and they are just whinnying now because the calculations is not favouring them.

lolababe331e:


You forget Fashola was Tinubu's boy, same with Aregbesola, Ajumobi and others. Tinubu backs qualified candidates and in fairness to Ambode he worked and campaigned hard. He is the only one to have visited the 20 local governments while the rest were campaigning on newspaper pages.

Ambode started his career at the local government level and he truly understands the Lagos structure. He is grassroots to the core

Well said, may the best man win.

Cc: Alphaoscar

politifact:
you must be dreaming to say GOS controls alimosho,agege and ipaja,he is popular in mushin but not these areas

apart from Ambode and maybe Hamzat, I don't think any of the other aspirants can boast of GOS's structure. I am in Agege, and as at the time those delegates entered the BRT bus, majority of them are rooting for GOS but we all know that the game can change a second to their votes. The final decision will be make 5mins to the election proper and they will all follow the directives of their leaders at the final minute.

Waiting for Hurricane APC storm.

I don't even know what is going on with Imo, looks like they are reserving the thing for Rochas, last i heard is the want to conduct mock primaries where everyone in the state will vote

I can't wait for the Taraba lady to win too.

What of Rivers state?

p3ndy79:

The truth alphaoscar is that GOS is a much loved and cherished personality. He was and has been a grassroot politician to the core.

He has been chairman of one the most populated LG in Nigeria, he controls Alimosho, Mushin and Agege, oshodi, isolo, ipaja axis completely. He is from ikorodu and surely all of imota, igbogbo, ikorodu, ijede, ipokodo, ikorodu north and west, odogunyan etc are sure bankers even down to kosofe.

He was appeased and begged to step down for Tinubu in 1999 by the NADECO leaders so ignore GOS at your own peril.

He is a muslim and off course the most prominent real and true lagosians are mostly muslims, islam came to the south west mostly through lagos. So the religion factor favours him also even though religion rarely matter in the politics of lagos.

Others are new breed politicians, the fashola and tinubu boys, GOS has been relevant and known since the days of UPN and SDP.

There is a large clamour for power shift to Ikorodu division also, all other four divisions have produced civilian governors of lagos except old Ikorodu division.

I hope he wins anyway, but I'm cool with him, sashore, ambode weakened by the non true lagosian tag or Hamzat or Pitan.

Lagos is blessed with worthy successors.

FORGET that, GOS can never win the guber ticket that is a fact.
being a Senator that control the lagos west did not give him the guaranty of the delegate votes. imagine GOS being a former chairman of mushin b4 he rise to the senate he could not influence ANY i mean ANY major projects in mushin to me he wasted his money to purchase the guber ticket. if GOS give over me 100million I can never vote him.

Aspirants reject Okorocha’s directive on consensus in
Imo APC
…Gov’s wife favoured to pick party guber ticket As the
All Progressives Congress, APC, decides who
represents the party at the state Houses of Assembly
across the country, all attempts by the Imo State
Governor, Rochas Okorocha to talk members into
accepting consensus candidates in the state was
rejected by the aspirants. It was gathered that the
governor made last minutes attempt to convince the
aspirants for the primaries to step down for the
consensus candidates. According to a reliable source

I hope this is some kind of joke

The over 4000 APC delegates from the 23 LGAs of
Sokoto State are now fully seated at the Kangiwa
Memorial Stadium for the guber primaries.

seriously?
I was discussing with hubby,friends and some relatives yesterday and all wants Rochas to re-contest for a second term. They were totally against his presidential bid.
I just hope what you posted is really a joke. Some say he's in the presidential race to bring comic relief to the primaries.

Bros na wa you o, see as you hype GOS. Haba!!! The same GOS that was defeated by Afikuyomi for the AD Primaries in Lagos West Senatorial Seat in 2003 and was compensated with Reps ticket by AD?

The same GOS that lost to Fashola in 2007 AC Primaries and was compensated with Lagos West Senate ticket in 2007?

Or the same GOS that was given the ACN ticket in 2011 on a platter of Gold?

Bros, it is a fact that GOS has never won a primary election since 1999

The practice where all these party leaders are forcing all the cockroaches, dog and monkeys in their families on the party need to stop. the problem is not just about Okorocha but Tinubus, Ajomales, Muhammeds and others should be satisfied with their current position and standing in the party.


Enough is enough!!!

There will always be aggrieved candidates. Same will also play out in PDP. This time is even better na, in 2007 it was worse than this. The problem is that candidates build their aspiration around a party chieftain rather than the people, when the Chieftain disfavors them, they cry foul. Sadly, they have no brand or followership of their own. Agbaje got it right in 2007 though he came 3rd riding with a very unpopular and new DPA. His only miscalculation was going to PDP. Agbaje in DPA 2015 stand a BIG chance of sweeping the Lagos Guber. As for this primaries, Ambode will fly the ticket and win the contest, there is nothing those aggrieved aspirants can do about it

I don't really have a problem with family members on party ticket, so long has they go through primaries.
Okorocha’s wife thing must be a joke. I have learnt not to believe anything i read in the media about Okorocha and Buhari.
