All politics is local!

You don't understand the politics of Lagos.
There are several political groups in Lagos but the Tinubu's group is the most formidable.
They have members, loyalists, sympathizers, fans and supporters
in every Street in Lagos.

Tinubu by himself didn't pick all those people, rather they belong to a group.


Tinubu is just like the Class captain of that political group.
This Tinubu's group can sometimes work with their enemies to achieve a greater goal or even turn a former enemy to an ally.
Some of the top shots in Lagos PDP are in this categories (The Tinubu's group allow them to 'chop' along the way)

Bode George godfatherism in Lagos PDP is one the reasons why the party is always having crisis and can't unite to fight a common cause.

In 2011, some PDP stalwarts blamed Bode George for picking the PDP Governorship candidate even when he was in prison.

What a bias writeup. Its glaring from the editorial point of view.

Point of correction...APC would sleep and snor in court over obadeki's certificate issue because they weren't forged. Sonebody can't be so mean and confident without a reason. The same man whose HSC, NYSC and Degree certificates were said to have been questionable had been cleared by the bodies who issued them This time, he had presented a CORRECTED copy of the certificate as obtained from the NYSC. He also presented WAEC certificate which he didn't present the first time instead of the controversial HSC. UI had come to the public to say, he was their student and graduated with the same result,same year. I wish this issue was raised when oshiomohle was governor. He would have been kicked out because he didn't have one. Obaseki had his waec before he entered UI and same was qualified enough for a degree course according to a serving professor of same institution whom I approached on the matter recently.

My uncle entered university with 4 credits late 70s . Up till 2009, FUT Minna was admitting with 4 credit passes. Nowadays it's no more the case because the competition is high , same with the number of candidates wanting to enter the universities. In my time, there was nothing like post jamb. Just meet the cut off point with 5 credit passes in o'level and you'd be admitted on merit. To attain cut off point in those days wasn't easy to come by. Many wrote jamb and waec up to 3 times before finally making it. Some combined GCE with waec to make up the 5 credit passes in my time and they still got admitted. The reverse is the case nowadays. Obaseki's O'Level result qualified him for admission in his time as confirmed by this professor.

Everybody should just rest this edo case and allow the candidates flex their muscle. Unlike other states, edo people don't sell their conscience. They would collect your money and still do their wish and if you dare harass them, they'd show you their cutlass from inside their clothe . If obaseki deserves it, edo people would not come to nairaland to seek people's opinion whether to vote him or not. If they believe in Ize-iyamu, even if obaseki spent his last kobo, they'd still vote ize-uyamu. Edo people are quite different from others in reasoning. They voted oshiomohle and dumped the presidential candidate of his party. In like-manner, voted obaseki but dumped buhari in spite of federal presence and money spent with popularity of the party at the state level. That's edo for you. Whoever wins should be supported, election no be war. Good luck to all the candidates.

Good but the topic has nothing to do with Biafran and Edo or Lagos are not part of Biafria.

However, what is T.A Orji who spent 8 years as Governor, presently spending the 6th year as a Senator and his Son is the Speaker of the House of Assembly in Abia?

No difference between Iyamu and Obaseki
The difference is just the platform they using.
Obaseki didn't do well on his first term.
Ambode worked so well, yet was rejected.
Let the election be free and fair, one man, one vote,and the people's will should prevail in the end.

The only thing we must remember, is that one man who calls himself the Godfather shouldn't interfere in governance. Oshimole should go and intensity his efforts at getting a child from Lara. (His biggest investment or wastepipe)


Edo is not Lagos.

Ambode worked so well but performed badly. It is not enough to work hard but you must work smart. The negligence of Ambode will take Lagos 16 years to clear.

The EDO terrain is very uncivilized and rural compared to the situation in Lagos and even Ogun. I only sympathise with Oshiomhole and Iyamu. At Osun, while Omisore was in Prison over the death of Bola Ige, he contested for Senate and won.During the last gubernatorial election at Osun, during the rerun election, he became the wanted bride to both the APC and PDP, his constituency can never leave him or betray him even with billions of Naira. Dino Melaye from Yoruba speaking area of Kogi State is another example. Yahaya Bello can never manipulate his ward at any cost to humiliate him, the Okun people despite Dino's truancy and shortcomings will never succumb. Faleke & Smart Adeyemi knows it is not possible. In my State Ogun, Dapo Abiodun cannot try an impossibility by using Senator Amosun's ward to humiliate him even with the entire State money, the Owu people of Ogun State can never accept. A governor in those quoted scenarios cannot refuse inauguration of elected representatives without a chaos. In rural settlement anything can happen.

A man's enemy shall be people of his household. They are the ones being used by the enemies outside to kill people Star and Glory. My people for Etsako, una well-done for yonder. I hail o! How the election go be? Make una leave APC follow Shuaibu - Obaseki boy go PDP.I think una don finish the work wey Obaseki send una for APC, make una follow am go PDP o. No be Adam Star una kill o, na the future generation una do.

Say no to bad governance in Edo State

During Oshiomhole administration, almost all decent people and decent companies ran out of Edo State. Those that leave abroad were afraid of coming home. The State was overwhelmed by taut (agberu). There was a complete break down of law and order.

Obaseki has worked hard to stamp out those criminality (though not fully there yet). Oshiomhole and his tout said they are taking us back there. God and the good people of Edo State will never allow. Tinubu can never dictate what will happen in Edo state - never.

Oshiomhole told us that Ize-Iyamu is a courtist and he was sent out of Uniben. I Call on all well meaning Edolite, do not fall for the evil Oshiomhole and Tinubu is planning to visit on Edo State. Reject them, reject their evil money.

Today, you can buy your land in Edo and build without stress. No more selling of one Parcel of land to more than one person. With 50k you get your Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) in Edo State which has helped many businesses to obtain loans from Banks to expand their business. Good governance is not to put food in your table, good governance is to create an enabling environment for businesses to flourish, for people to go about their business without fear of molestation or being killed.

Tareq1105:



Tinubu is your headache. What has he done to you? When was the last time you saw Tinubu in Edo? Mention APC and leave Tinubu out of your pains. Is it a sin for Tinubu to support the position of his Party?

Since C of O became #50,000 how many houses have you built? In fact, how many C of O has he signed to date? You think we don't know what's going on in the Lands Registry?

How many people were empowered not to talk of having enough to build houses?

OPPPS:

You are right. Edo is not Lagos. Lagos does not elect a Gov with 3 credit.
