Oxtonguy:
A lot of folks are myopic on nairaland,simply tell how akeredolu insulted tinubu Meanwhile tinubu is the childish and clueless person here,just because his own candidate does not emerge he supported a baseless accusation on primary election,and withdrew support for akeredolu even when he is the leader of the party and failed to show face during the consecutive campaign for the candidate,and secretly supported an AD candidate shamelessly in an aim to protect his godfatherism,what childishness is more than that.Even so akeredolu was calm and sangfroid .Akeredolu deserves respect not all this nonsense you and your blind tinubu supporters are saying.AKEREDOLU HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG

omofunaab:



Am from the same ward with amosun in abeokuta.
People refer to him as traitor now. Amosun is a small boy in politics, tinubu helped him to get to where he is today

Not interested, peddle your meaningless rubbish and rant elsewhere....

SillyMods:

What has Akeredolu done wrong so far? Contesting an election against Tinubu or by having the president's support?

Was Akeredolu not Tinubu's candidate in 2012?

The problem with some of you guys is believing that Tinubu is always right.

Well, it's not too late to swallow some pride and mend fences with PMB and APC. I don't see any other good option for him as things are because more than ever, votes now count. And majority of the electorate are moving away from "baba so pe" politics of godfatherism.

ODVanguard:
At this rate, Akeredolu may just end up as another Mimiko in waiting. Mimiko said worse things about Tinubu throughout his tenure. Infact, the average Ondo person's mind has been so poisoned by Mimiko and PDP in the state against the same Tinubu that they so much hate the guy, foolishly believing that his political interest in the state was to plunder it (which logically doesn't even make sense considering how poor Ondo is compared to Lagos), when in fact his interest was merely a part of his adventure to forge political cohesion in the region and nothing more.

But where is the same Mimiko today? Politically he has been practically retired from active politics and has remained a featherweight with his influence limited to Ondo town while the much maligned Tinubu commands more relevance and followership than he does politically even today. Aketi shouldn't get too carried away with his victory as Tinubu will bounce back, he's been down this road many a times. He should go and ask the likes of Gbenga Daniel and other retirees.

...If in Yoruba land ,IFA is consulted to choose

If IFA (power of divinity) is consulted to choose a king in Yoruba land, then you will see the reason for godfatherism, though truth may tarry but time will tell. I had expected you to tell me President Buhari is the godfather of Akeredolu as it stand. “TInubu" has a golden sight, you don't know this, do you?, the Lagos State that many of you run to is the making of Tinubu because God anointed him as a political Yoruba leader. So don't inform wrongly. I hold to my beliefs because it belong to a higher school of thought than yours which you don't belong and you will never understand. As simple as ABC

Chief Rotimi Akeredolu.

It is just too early for you to start this way.

Your explanation is even more of an insult to Tinubu, and those sending you to ridicule him, will leave you out in the cold when it is your time to face the heat.

You are new in Politics, and this is how you want to start?remember there is a reason why Western Politics is called the Wild Wild West Politics, and towing this line will educate you on how that name was gotten.

When Tinubu congratulated you on all National Dailies, he specifically mentioned your name and wished you well. The path you are towing, is exactly why i do not like Lawyers, who for some strange reasons think they are smarter than everybody, with their knack for twisting the English Language.

You refused to mention his name, and as a man own up to it, instead of trying to twist words. Chief Rotimi Akeredolu, if i were you, i will quickly close rank with the Tinubu faction of the APC because as they say, Politics is local.

When the time comes, Oyegun will not leave Benin to come to the West or Buhari the North for you.

SillyMods:

Your claim that your belief is higher than my school of thought is laughable.

Anyway, time will tell if Tinubu has made a serious error of judgment or not. But I am sure his influence in APC and SW has largely been diminished with Akeredolu's win in Ondo.

ASL33:
How did Tinubu make Lagos? Lagos has been the center of attraction as far as Nigeria is concerned b4 1999 that Tinubu become governor. When did God anoint him? Or is it the same anointing Some of the pastors parade this days. Tinubu miscalculated simple and he know that was why he was quick to congratulate Akeredolu but it seems Akeredolu is still not happy with him. I believe also that Tinubu is still not happy with Akere and his camp. The congratulation is just a white wash which Akere and his gang know already.

ODVanguard:


Tinubu was in worse position when OBJ snatched PDP and controlled 5 out of 6 SW states and was starving Lagos of the much needed monthly federal allocation by 2003. If he could weather those storms to become the Jagaban, then Aketi's current ego-trip ain't even worth a response. Aketi be like kpomo wey dey behave like beef, dem no be mate.

To be honest with you, it's Tinubu that ridiculed himself, not anyone else. Imagine a politician of his calibre in the APC, descending to the level of supporting another party's candidate during the elections for selfish interests...it is simply absurd.

If anyone needs to close ranks, it's Tinubu for betraying his party. In fact an apology from him would not be out of place. This is the simple truth, let's call a spade, a spade.

Good morning.

SillyMods:

It's wrong to think the outcome will be same.

OBJ/PDP used crude approach and forced lootocractic regimes on SW which eventually crashed as a result of people getting tired of misgorvernance offered by them.

This time, no crude or massive suppression of people's will which could make people rise against APC. The process that produced Akeredolu was freer, cleaner and more credible. As such, there can't be any sympathetic vote for Tinubu or any party he floats. If anything, SW is becoming tired of his godfatherism politics.

So, don't put your hope so high.

softwareman:

Let us examine the facts.a primary was conducted and the first three runner ups protested the outcome because they claimed the delegates list was manipulated.
Channel TV carried a news items showing Aketian procuring delegates on the streets of Akure.
The party itself sets up an appeal panel to investigate. The appeal panel says the DELEGATES LIST WAS MANIPULATED AND ORDERED A RERUN.
but the buhari fraudsters refused and insisted it is Aketi or nothing. So TINUBU should just take it? No JAGABAN does not run away from a FIGHT.
If you people think this battle is won and lost, then your POLITICAL naivety is amazing!

GreatSE:


No, this is the best way to start an Independent Government..... Ondo ppl are too intelligent to be ported by a mere Awori local champion of the SW

softwareman:

Did you just state Aketi is independent? I am rolling on the floor laughing.
Aketi cannot win anything with out A GODFATHER.. Buhari AND the north is Aketi,s God Father.
I SUPPOSE THAT IS ALRIGHT.

QuotaSystem:
Refrain from getting emotional lest you lose the point you're struggling to make.

If Tinubu had ANY respect for the party, he would have humbly accepted the results of the appeal panel after the initial protest. There is no justification, rationalization or excuse for Tinubu to have supported another party's candidate against his own party. It stinks of a person intoxicated with power and influence, and was a heavy disappointment to APC supporters nationwide who had erstwhile revered and remained loyal to him as a party leader that helped in kicking out the ineffectual buffoon.

You see, some of us remain respectful to Tinubus as a party leader, but we are not concienceless dummies who will call black white and vice versa.

Reexamine the facts without emotion and blind loyalty and the above will be quite clear.

The real emotional dummies here are the ones distorting facta as feed to them.the appeal panel CONFIRMED THAT the DELEGATES LIST was manipulated.
The majority members of the party NEC voted to do another primary before your manipulative buhari and your Northerner born to rule Masters came to interfere.
Please redskins the facts with out blind loyalty to your new northern hegemonic master. The fact is that all these shenanigans was done to destroy ti nubu politically because of 2019.
By the way, pass this message on: Buhari should face governance and think of 2019 later.
IF HE DOES NOT, EVEN A DEAD TINUBU WILL NOT SAVE HIM FROM IGNOMINIOUS DEFEAT!
