I listened to Koro on classic fm on the discuss by Jimi Disu where he referred to Tinubu as his former Boss...saying he was never a Tinubu's boy is what I don't understand

barcanista:


1. Obanikoro has NEVER been AD Chairman
2. He was the was Deputy Chairman of NRC in the early 90s.
3. Obanikoro became Local Government Chairman of ILagos Island Local Government in the early 90s
(As at these period, Akiolu was still a policeman)
4. The issue of city hall happened when Obanikoro left as LGA Boss. As at then, it was never issue of Akiolu. That was during the Military regime.
5. Obanikoro was never TINUBU's boy. He served under Tinubu. In fact, Tinubu made use of his goodwill in 1998 Governorship election the the Island. Akiolu was no where to be found.
6. Obanikoro opted for Senate. He wasn't dashed the ticket by Tinubu. As at then, Afenifere had a split between AD and PAC. Koro, Afikuyomi and Tinubu held sway in AD, while Ganiyu Dawodu(I heard he's late now) and others formed PAC (or so). Funso Williams and others left for PDP.
7. AKIOLU was made Oba in 2003 by Tinubu's influence. People in the Island know the story.
8. I don't know where you get your story from, but the 2007 was between Koro, Agbaje and the renegade AC members on different front, and Tinubu led AC. Fashola was only a front.
9. Bode George has been political adversary of Koro since 1998 in the Island. In fact, Bode George refused to support Koro in 2007. He even boasted that Koro will never be governor. the rivalry between Koro and George is pure politics over the control of PDP. PDP has always been factionalised since the death of Williams.
10. Akiolu is an Oba, I wouldn't want to insult or denigrate him, but his beef with Koro is a front for Tinubu.

Followers of Lagos Island Politics know what is up. That's all...

Barcanista kept on sounding like a dunce day in day out; who was the Governorship candidate of Action congress in 2007?


ALL IZZ WELL

barcanista:
A former boss doesn't translate to being a boy. Obj was Atiku's former boss. Buhari was Ibb's former boss. Shagari was Ekweme's former boss. Obanikoro served as commissioner under Tinubu, it makes him BAT former subordinate but NOT BAT's boy. I have explained to those of you that refused to listen

barcanista:
You are distorting facts Sir.
1. Obanikoro and Tinubu only became party allies in 1998
2. In 1994, Tinubu was with SDP where he ran and won his Senate seat, Obanikoro was with NRC where his Party defeated the SDP in the Governorship election. He was even appointed by Governor Michael Otedola and was later made Deputy Chair of NRC. He was later elected Chairman of Lagos Island LG. All in NRC
3. I doubt you know Sen Tokunbo Afikuyomi. In 1998 it was Olu Falae and co that proposed Tinubu to run for Governor instead of Funso Williams to compensate him for his NADECO struggle. Tinubu was like any other person. Go read who helped Tinubu filled his form to INEC.
4. Bode George and Koro were adversary when Koro was in AD. They became more opponent when Koro moved to PDP in 2005. The battle was for the soul of PDP. Koro wants to be Governor, George wants his loyalist Hilda(after the death of Williams). Their main battle was for the soul of the Island. Again, you should read on George/Koro rivalry.
5. Obanikoro has never been a boy to Tinubu. Though kudos to Tinubu for appointing him Home Affairs Commissioner. Saying Koro is Tinubu boy is like saying Shekarau is GEJ's boy.
7. Fashola never won any "primary" in 2007. There was no primary. Tinubu only asked others to step down for his Chief of Staff. Fashola was nothing and is still nothing politically.

omenka:
Let me join my comrades in calling on the president to relocate Aso Rock to the SW. Shebi when the going was good, this same dude said "igbos are the backbone of my administration". Why in devil's dungeon would he not leave the SW alone and go concentrate on his "backbone", or has he developed a spine injury that could be fixed only by political surgeons from the SW

Funny man.

barcanista:
What happened in Lagos 2007 is similar to what happened in Kano 2003 and Kwara 2011. In 2003(Kano) it was basically between GMB and Kwankwaso(incumbent) but Shekarau was GMB's candidate. In Kwara 2011 it was between Bukola Saraki and Muhammed Balgore, with Ahmed being Bukola's candidate. We should be honest....

ONE QUESTION:
What Political structure can Fashola boast of? Can you mention any LGA or Ward that is his stronghold?

barcanista:
Jimi will win in Lagos Island and the entire Lagos State

fortunella:
GEJ will definitely win the election,with all the works he has done. He is someone who does not blow trumpet about his achievements but we all know that he has done a lot and his goodwill will see him through[email][/email][/b][b]

Direct answer from Fashola:- "I Don’t Know My Political Future" – Fashola

When asked what his next step in politics would be, he said, “I don’t know honestly. I do well in multitasking. I have a job to do that runs until May 2015. And up till now people haven’t stopped asking me and my government for services. My mandate expires on the 29th of May and I’m going to give my best shot until the very final hour.”

The Ghanaian pastor, who is the senior pastor at Wonder City Chapel, Ghana, claimed that President Jonathan will on March 28 win the presidential election once again. This pastor’s proclamation was published in a Nigerian paper and the pastor acknowledged it by also posting a copy of the story on his Facebook page as seen below:
“Nigerians should watch out for the second term of His Excellency President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. Although it looks very challenging with him and his ruling party now, yet the Lord says Nigerians shouldn’t lose hope in Jonathan.
As long as I’m concerned as a man gifted by God to see the past, the current and the future beyond the curtains of the natural, I know by the inspiration of the Almighty that President Jonathan is the set man for Nigeria. His next term on the seat will bring liberation to Nigeria.
Winners Chapel Pastor also said
…It will bring hope to hopeless situations in Nigeria. On this account I therefore declare that HE Goodluck Ebele Jonathan will win the coming elections.”
GOD HAS SPOKEN

angelsing:
hahahahahah...is this how u judge someone to be clueless and dunce because he said he does not know his political future yet?....I stand to be corrected, have not seen any governor in this country as whole who can stand the intellect of Fashola...

barcanista:
It is funny how you APC e-Fans think that a Fashola that cannot win a ward on his own suddenly becomes a political heavyweight

to tell the truth, I love yoruba people.
served in the west
living in lag
ive lived in the 4 cardinal points of naija
yorubas stand out.

Mynd44:


LMAO....you don't know so don't argue this. It is weird that people have no idea what's happening before the type. Oba Akinolu's issue with Koro has started since Koro was a Chairman in the AD.

Obanikoro was not always an adversary of Tinubu dude (You really don't know much of Lagos politics) in fact he used to be Tinubu's boy which seems to be why he keeps getting ruffled by Tinubu. He just wanted more than the Party was willing to give so he left. Remember he was a senator in the AD? How was he an adversary then?

Amusing how Obanikoro the person alleged to have started a fire in his office which led to the burning of city hall (A story Bode George brought up in January so this ain't beer parlour gossip) is not the PDP's point man in Lagos.

But Tinubu did not contest in the 2007 elections did he? He was an outgoing governor, Fashola was the party's candidate who was duly elected at the primary unlike Obanikoro who rigged his way in. Hilda Williams won the Primary, she was declared the winner only for the PDP national headquarters to announce that Obanikoro wil be their candidate.

I doubt you will remember and acknowledge that the PDP in Lagos has been synonynous with fraud and electoral malpractice. The evidence is even in the last PDP primary.

I just sit back and LMAO when folks say they know and understand Lagos politics when they don't know where ot starts.

MayorofLagos:
Between Feb14th and March 14th, Jonathan has visited Yorubaland six times!

Lol....fire dey burn Jonathan! He has suddenly come to the cognition that those he marginalized are afterall the kingmakers of Nigeria and without their endorsement he stands no chance of victory.

First, the Obas in Egbaland told him to stop calling them to unecessary and unproductive meetings.

Second, the Muslim body in Yorubaland told him they dont need his bribe and its a waste of his time and theirs to invite them to a unproductive meeting.

Now Awujale has told him he is wasting his time paying visits to Obas in Ijebuland, and Yorubaland generally. Go and face the people with your accountability, dont bring your message to Obas, go tell it to the people you ruled for 6years.

There is two weeks to election....Jonathan is confused!

He should go to North, the Emirs might accept his message and help him in their domain.....make sure to take Patience Faka along to greet "troway shildren" along the streets.

He doesn't have to worry about Ezes in the East, they are already bought and in his pocket....there is no negotiation about whether or not they will deliver....their choice is already purchased!

anneedu:
I wonder why all this APC supporters won't read an article before commenting rather they only read the headline and go straight for comment, the oba said what he will also tell buhari, he said nothing wrong and he's not in support of any candidate.

barcanista:
Kabiyesi Sir, Oba Rilwan Akiolu has been campaigning for Ambode in Lagos.

He said, “In Ijebu here, it is not possible
for any Oba, not even only in Ijebu, in Yorubaland, to go out and say
vote for this, vote for that; that person is
looking for
trouble.

barcanista:
I actually understand politics and that of the Island. I don't remember where and where Obanikoro had beef with Akiolu save his recent displeasure over Akiolu's involvement on who succeeds Fashola. Akiolu has been a perpetual ally of Bola Tinubu, Obanikoro has been a perpetual political adversary of Tinubu. In fact, Akiolu endorsed Ambode even before Ambode declared for Governor. That is to tell you whats up! I tell you that Oba will lose his ward... This is not 2007, many factors aren't working for APC anymore.

By the way, 2007 was between Tinubu and Koro(PDP) and Agbaje (DPA), and not Fashola and the aforementioned. Fashola would have lost woefully if he was in a different platform. He has no political clout... As for Tinubu, so many things aren't wprking for him anymore. It is not by propaganda... JK will send him packing. Remember Fayemi tragedy
