Specifically he said lagos as the economic capital is very important and much be captured by PDP. he also said the south West is to sophisticated to be left in the hands of rascal, we must capture, Ekiti, Osun, Ondo and Laogs states. he mentioned these states, said they were too important for fas and co

[b]Ofcourse as a PDP member, he'd wish for his party to have Lagos state.

"SOUTH WEST IS TOO SOPHISTICATED TO BE LEFT IN THE HANDS OF RASCALS.", This statement is the reason for the whole issue that was raised.

Now to say SOUTH WEST IS TOO SOPHISTICATED means that he gat a high regard for the south west.  The fact that he said "TO BE LEFT IN THE HANDS OF RASCALS" means that SW must not be left in the hands of rascals. It doesn't mean that the SW is in the hands of rascals. He implied that the SW is too important "TO BE" left in the hands of rascals (Which could be anybody, without specific reference to the present). If he said "TO BE LEFT IN THE HANDS OF ACN AND LABOUR PARTY RASCALS" then it would have been another story.

Once again as a PDP member, his wish is to capture as many states as possible, hence the last statement.

His statement did not insult anybody. It gave prestige to the SW as a whole.
IF TRULY HE WAS REFERRING TO OTHER PARTY LEADERS, THEN WHY DID IT TAKE A REGIONAL DIMENSION? SOUTH WESTERNERS TOOK OFFENSE. SHOULDN'T IT BE ACN AND LABOUR PARTY MEMBERS THAT SHOULD BE OFFENDED? OR ARE THESE PARTIES NOT FIELDING CANDIDATES THAT WILL CONTEST AGAINST JONATHAN? RIBADU HAVE BEEN QUITE VOCAL ABOUT THE DANGERS OF ELECTING PDP. HE HAS BEEN QUITE DIRECT IN HIS REFERENCES. SO, WHY IS HE CALLING FOR GEJ'S HEAD FOR AN UNCLEAR STATEMENT?"
Anyway I aint a PDP member. I actually prefer Ribadu more, but I'm just being fair.[/b]

At my zonal presidential campaign rally in Ibadan, Oyo State, last Tuesday, I spoke about the place of the South-West in the Nigerian federation. Without mincing words, I spoke about the level of education and sophistication in the region.
In my opinion - and in the opinion of many informed Nigerians - the South-West is of critical significance to the economic and political advancement of the country. The progress of the zone is the progress of Nigeria. It makes perfect sense that such a critical segment of Nigeria is governed by those who have what it takes!

These were my exact words as accurately captured by the Nigerian Tribune of Wednesday, February 9, 2011:

"The entire South-West is too important, too sophisticated and too educated to be in the hands of rascals."

You guys are not serious. GEJ was referring to the NON-PDP members of the SW. There is a difference between forgiving him and trying to twist his word which insults our intelligence. The SW would probably still vote for him but he cannot say he was not referring to Fashola and co.

ShangoThor:

Thank you, Jason123, can you Adam and Eve it? What utter nonsense for anybody to believe that people of the SW are so gullible that they can be manipulated psychologically.People of the SW do not need their egos stroked, they probably failed to recognise that they are in the wrong part of the country.  [/b][/color]

Since you guys believe that he referred to the non-PDP SW leaders e.g. ACN & Labour Party politicians, Why then is the statement consistently being referred to as an insult to the "SW as a whole" when in fact it should be seen from the opposite angle? Are ACN and LP for South westerners? Remember that igbos like Ngige and Hausas like Ribadu are also members of ACN. Why the fuss?
Why the constant use of "SW people" as being insulted, when he actually said that "The SW is too sophisticated"?
Do you know that South Easterners would have bragged with the same statement, and funny enough, it is you guys that took the statement as an insult that would attack them for owning it?
It has happened before. I must say that It is quite disappointing to see people so revered by GEJ's statement attaching some ethno-social meaning to it. Grow up guys.

seanet02:

You have comprehension problems and i will advice you get an evening tutor. GEJ said that "The South West is too educated and Sophisticated to be left in the hands of Rascals, we must take the south west back from the hands of rascals" now tell me who is he refering to? Its like you were drunk before posting this junk, is Ribadu a South Westerner? Is Ngige a South Westerner? Or you have forgotten the South west in ODECHUKWU statement
