The national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, says the party’s victory in the Osun governorship election shows that democracy is at work in the country.

Tinubu said this after he received the state governor, Rauf Aregbesola; and the governor-elect, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, at his residence in Ikoyi, Lagos on Friday evening.


The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Oyetola was declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission at the end of Thursday’s re-run election in seven polling centres.

He polled a total of 255,505 votes to defeat his closest rival and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ademola Adeleke, who polled 255,023 votes.

Tinubu said the people of the state exercised their rights and chose the best candidate to drive development in the state.

He said, ”The people of Osun demonstrated their strong determination. They have good judgment. They exercised their rights to choose the best candidate necessary for developmental programmes in the state.

“When you look at those who were running, you have the best, the most brilliant, the most qualified, competent, calm and a great candidate.

“That is what they have done to show that democracy is at work.

“Democracy is about the people, and the people have equally exercised their right to be tolerant, patient, persevere and do what is necessary to develop the economy of the state.

“In leadership, you need a thinker and a doer that must be present in the mind, body and soul; that person who will carry the responsibility of the state and I feel that Oyetola fits perfectly.”

Tinubu urged the people of the state to encourage and give their maximum support to Oyetola.

On the APC presidential primary, the party’s national leader said the huge support from party faithful in Lagos State was a signal that the party would emerge victorious in 2019.

The Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode; and a former Minister of State for Defence, Mr. Musiliu Obanikoro, were also on the ground during the visit.

Afonjas can hug the devil thinking it hurt igbos. Igbos must be very powerful in afonjaland to pushing their politicians to oblivion

Tinubu deserves serious beating to remove some of those his brown teeth

The god of Yoruba land has spoken!

one thing that disgust me about the Yorubas is their brazen hypocrisy and wickedness!

Believe me, if Goodluck was an Hausa or Fulani man, Yorubas will hail him till death!

Imagine Yorubas including Tinubu opening their brown dirty teeth to accuse Goodluck of looting Nigeria dry.

Goodluck a civilian president that ruled only for 5yrs was blamed for Nigeria's woes since 1970!

You can never hear Yorubas criticize Abacha and IBB that emptied Nigeria's treasury. They are scared to mention their names, but they blame Goodluck as the one who destroyed Nigeria from 1999 but forgot that their prodigal son Obasanjo was the chief looter that reinvented public fund looting under democracy in 1999 and turned himself from a broke ass retired general to one of the richest humans on earth just in 8yrs as president!

Their hatred for Igbo people know no boundary!

Their crooked daughter cum certificate forger Kemi Adeosun haven destroyed Nigeria's economy in just 2yrs ran away to evade jail term, but have u seen Igbo headed media or journalists feasting on it like Yoruba media would have if Thief Kemi was an Igbo

See how the whole Yorubas are after the downfall of Linda Ikeji just because she is a powerful, successful Igbo media pernality that shocked them with her success and fame.


I pity any Igbo lady getting married to a Yoruba man, u are risking your life in the name of marriage that he will still marry another wife openly or secretly + unrepentant and open cheating without remorse, and likely to beat the hell out of u!
