Sometimes I wonder what we Nigerians want.... We keep judging and voting on social media, we seem to "not" like every candidate seeking political office. Here comes a man who you know little about politically, yet you already ruling him out. Do we always want the same set of people ruling us? Do we want the same set of God fathers calling the shots? I can remember Trump was a billionaire when he contested, He was a shrewd businessman, and he won. Let's pick a side and help actualize what we believe is the best for our darling country.

I like the idea of businessmen, technocrats and others coming into politics, unlike the "agberos" and political Methuselas of our time.

If this is truly true, I'll advise Otedola not to accept this carrot being dangled before him.

Interesting.

Just when I was looking at Rivers,Delta and Osun and some other states, for some needed political drama as regards the next election. I did not even know Lagos is going to be the Grand Royale.

It is going down in Lagos.

Otedola is about to be schooled about life and politics in lagos.By the time they are done with him, he will not only be a Millionaire from the Billionaire club.

He will also be facing different litigations in Courts, from Lagos State,who will now discover he has not been paying taxes on everything he has, and that includes the toilet he uses.

This is one mistake this man will not recover from.

For us to be living in a society where people are scared to contest due to fear of personal persecution by the ruling opposition on their personal wealth or private business shows we have a long way to go in achieving a true democratic government.

If he actually decides to contest and this happens, it’d be really shameful but unsurprising

Wealthy business men should not meddle in politics. Even if they win the election they will be worse off after the tenure expires.

Look at Trump. Look at Abiola. Look at Waziri Ibrahim. Sorry outcomes....

Do you remember the family history of the Otedolas? SPD bickered bitterly and its members voted opposition candidate of the NRC named Michael Otedola instead of SPD candidate? APC have started the bickering oh. By the time Ambode and James Sanwonlu splits APC votes, Femi Otedola may repeat his family's history.

did protest voting?

This is a welcome development to me. We need competitive election in every part of the country.

It will always make the ruling class sit up. How I wish Jagaban political power in Lagos can be crushed.

Abeg, this is 2018, one man shouldn't have the political powers he has.

So, I have concluded that whatever comes our way in the political arena, is what we deserve. Cause, when majority are fools, they will keep deciding for the wise in Nigeria.

Thats indeed a great turn up for the people democratic party. With Femi Otedola accepting to be the torchbearer of PDP for lagos state Gubernatorial election will make the party of to the task and also have same chance with APC to win the election. He has decided to answer the call and follow the same step his father late Sir Michael Otedola took.

Interesting.

I envisaged this; Immediately I saw pics of him in that danfo, I knew something was amiss

Thought as much.

Anyways, if Tinubu wants to fight Ambode, no problem. Otedola can settle the problem by becoming the Governor which I doubt
