Bascard.. he should go and form his party ....

I no.wan talk.too much. Obviously these people belong to the royalty caucus of earth. There problem is power, fame and influence... Money is not their problem anymore. But my own problem is just how to meet my basic needs which only money can solve before my business unfolds positively while our politicians swims in billions, yet, they re not contented because they must face their challenges as well. E jor.. E funmi lowo , i beg help, assist and power me. My transformer has become a battery... Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee

Even if so, Obaseki won because of the way the good people of Edo state voted, not because of his support...

This Obaseki's win is causing alot of crisis between APC members.

Like Obaseki said, its remaining the other godfather to the cowards who call themselves lagosians...
With time, Nigeria will be free from godfatherism.

Lagosians r coward? For selecting a progressive man. FYI ur state have never been and will never be on the same level with Lagos. Hate kee u dia

ejimatic:
. Tinubu is not a factor in the reelection of Obaseki.Many loyalist APC governors worked for his success because they we're not happy with his disqualification. Obaseki should have been allowed to contest the primary election of APC like Ambode..Additionally all
that Osiomole said on Iyamu 4 years ago had no effect on the Obaseki reelection. Remember Nigerians said more that about the past reign of PMB. yet he won the presidential election twice. EDO people especially APC members believed in their own reasoning that there was injustice in the disqualification of Obaseki..That added more to the success of the Governor .

Spot on!
The day he disqualified Obaseki, that was the day APC lost the election. When Ize-Iyamu went to APC he knew he will/can defeat Obaseki EMPHATICALLY in a direct primary - he had the overwhelming support/backing of the leaders (whom Obaseki had been attacking, insulting, vilifying and marching on the ground). However, Oshiomhole over did it by disqualifying him. Even the APC leaders in Edo were very pissed, they wanted Obaseki to take part in the primaries. The plan was this:
1) Teach him a bitter lesson, demolish him and disgrace him - in fact, he was to come 3rd in that electiion after Ize-Iyamu with Odubu in 2nd place.
2) After losing APC primaries, he can no longer take part in the primaries of any other party, by virtue of the current amended electoral act - that would have been end of the road for him. But Oshio spoilt all their plan.
Well, the battle ahead is still very loooong! This is just round 1, the numerous litigations on ground are too much, in fact, I even think both APC and PDP are most likely to end up not getting the governorship eventually.
Even if Ize-Iyamu had won, this is what I still would have said:
It's too early to be jubilating and making stupid remarks. Nobody imagined Bayelsa state will end like that - a place where David Lyon won with a monumental landslide (more than 200, 000 votes!), which has never happened before. Only for Diri to end up with the governorship.

Patosky4U:
Oshopiking is the cause of the whole issue.
In life never push your luck too far.
He think himself a demigod, tinubu case is different, he did not choose for the stakeholders of APC in Lagos, he always support their decision. That is why they will always worship him in Lagos. He does not chop alone but he believe in chop make I chop and let the masses feel the government work

Oh my God! What a fantastic piece! Thank for this! This is the exact picture of what is Lagos politics! This is the 1st time I'm seeing someone here dish it out very simply and clearly. Many of the useless pigs on nairaland and elsewhere online, who join haters to be attacking Tinubu, have refused to know this. Thank you for educating them. They don't know thatTinubu put up a body - an advisory council, made up of party chieftains and elders and they are the ones running things in Lagos, he's just the "leader", not alpha and omega or the sole decision maker.

jidamsel43:
Most of APC Governors supported Obaseki re-election .

Ondo state gubernatorial election will be a smooth ride for APC because the party is united in the state.

When I hear you people say 'support' , I hope you mean financial support (perhaps to run campaign). Nobody should take the shine from my Edo people who spoke loudly and clearly on Saturday. The battle was won by us all through the BALLOT as everyone knows.
Perhaps, the support could also mean keeping anti-democratic forces in APC (riggers) at bay. Anything beyond that is wishful thinking.
Edo is Not Lagos!

ojikeebere12:
Is not only him others like Simon Lalong of Jos, Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi & Badaru of Jigawa also supported Obaseki.

But.....

What goes around comes.... Very soon their own election would come where they would want their preferred candidates to emerge as winners....

Those idiots actually worked against their party because they felt it will diminish Tinubu's influence. We shall see.

Abeg patronise me to see food chop, biko.

helinues:


Bro wait, why should they support Ize Iyamu in the first place..

With the way Oshiomole demonized Ize Iyamu in 2016 yet still have this crab mentality of Only Oshiomole can make him Edo governor.

That's a sizzy act

That's it. That was the main reason I never supported POI. You told me in 2016 that someone was a thief and you came back 4yrs after to tell me he's the best thing since sliced bread. We are not that dull na.

tesppidd:
Godfathers everywhere I look.

Godfathers in their states claiming to be fighting Godfathers in Edo.

Now look at Fayemi.

Come to Portharcourt and look at Wike.
He singlehandedly picks candidates for Senate, Reps, LGA Chairman, Assembly,

Yet he's fighting Godfathers in Edo, and people are clapping.

It will touch all of them at the end of the day.

What goes around comes around

fergie001:

Those blaming the Presidency aren't serious people.

Did Fayemi vote? These guys are grabbing at straws.

Once a party in the State does not put its house in order, Buhari stays out.

It happened in Zamfara, Imo & Ogun States. When everyone was telling the APC in Edo State to calm down and sort out their differences, two men took it upon themselves to decide how the State must be run.

Now Ondo APC is going as one voice...you will see the support that State will get. Make Dem go siddon, election has been won and lost.

How can Oshiomhole fight Rochas, Yari & Amosun for a particular thing only to turn around and attempt the same thing....O wrong nau

Fergie my brother in one your post before the election you said APC will undo itself. When I read it I couldn't reply you because you said the truth and also confirmed my fears about Ize-Iyamu chances. If APC governors and appointees had supported Ize-Iyamu as they should especially in the area of finance, logistics, strategies maybe the result would have been different rather they saw it as Oshiomole/Tinubu project and hence adopted Sidon dey look approach.

Secondly the fight Oshiomole took on with Yari, Rochas and the rest was it a just one? In Imo for instance if not for Oshiomole, Rochas Inlaw would been have ruling us by now and that is why Rocha's would never forgive Oshiomole.

Finally while I wanted Ize-Iyamu to win I also had my fears of internal sabotage. As for Obaseki I also feel that the same issue of political patronage that he had in APC will also resonate in PDP on larger scale because he will now have to struggle to satisfy both the Old PDP members and the APC members he took to PDP. Each of the sides will always be on the lookout to see who gets what or who is most favored or cheated.

Nothing to add my brother.

Whoever made oshiomhole the national chairman of Apc actually set him up for destruction. That was where his downfall started.There's time for everything under the Sun. I guess his time has come to an end in the political space. Let others learn from his numerous mistakes. Tinubu should respect himself because the gang up against him ahead of 2023 is swelling. The dead man in Aso villa has killed Apc though.

. I agree with you absolutely .

If you can't tell me the number of votes his irrelevant support gave Obaseki then don't quote me again.

And another set of godfathers will emerge. All these ones talking about ending godfatherism are potential godfathers themselves. You will soon see!

Oladeji245:

. I agree with his thoughts. People dont express themselves iin the same way..However I did not see where he used the word pigs in his contribution....

i wish the tinubu camp support Jegede in Ondo and destroy APC chances at d poll.

Tinubu will form another coalition party next year comprising figures from PDP,APC ,APGA, Atiku, Makinde ,Obasanjo etc. It will become d new bride.He will sacrifice his ambition for a better Nigeria. The ills of Buhari administration will be unravelled

Kinikini:
Souther Nigeria tribes don't learn. The North has found a tool In Fayemi and others. The man they want to pull down has been used for the North and the Fayemis are to pull him down.
The North plays smarter in politics.

The man you are supporting prides himself as the person that was used to pull down GEJ, a southerner too
He is also priding himself as the person that was used by the fulanis to pull down the igbos in this current government

Normal attitude of Fayemi. He is a strong enemy of his erstwhile boss, Tinubu. How times fly?

I personally think booting out GEJ was a right decision.

Tinubu is desperate now and you should understand why.

Dude reads our comments on social media and it wears him down. He has not declared for presidency but we have already written him off in very strong languages

He reads and it's gotten to him and driven him paranoid so expect more mistakes

Mistakes until the final burial in 2023.

lmao who wrote him down the north or the 5%
