DON'T BLAME THE APC MEMBERS IN LAGOS, THEY'RE NOT USED TO DEMOCRACY

Politicians in the Lagos APC do not understand what democracy is all about because they have never experienced, tasted or practiced it. Since 1999, they have been toeing the same path of "Bourdillon sọ pé". They have been working for one man and one man only. Compare that to Ekiti, Ondo, Oyo, Osun or Ogun States where people removed their governors without having to take instructions from a lord who to vote or not to vote for.

In Lagos, no initiative or discretion is allowed. Every member of the APC in Lagos exists for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu only. They cannot "misbehave". They are like chickens in a cage. They don't have thoughts of their own. Unlike in other Yoruba states where a sitting governor may not even secure a Senatorial seat. Where the preferred candidate of an outgoing governor may not win. In Lagos, dictatorship rather than freewill prevails. No one dare argue with Tinubu. It's strange, very strange to see anyone do so. It's a taboo. That is why everyone engages in a rat race to curry the favours of the prominent couple on Bourdillon Road. This explains why APC members who see Osinbajo's declaration against their demigod should be forgiven. They're not used to seeing people express a different or contrary view to the one expressed by Asiwaju. To them, Asiwaju is God. Whatever he says must come to pass. It is not in their character to think for themselves.

If Tinubu shows interest in having any of their wives, they will gladly and excitedly offer to personally take the wife to any hotel of Tinubu's choice just so they can see him even if he will still discard them like a rag. The Yoruba call such attitude "Atẹnujẹ". Atẹnujẹ is a word for both the unreasonable and desperate man ready to take any insults just to feed as well as the gluttony who is ready to do anything for the sake of a filthy lucre.

They call him Jagaban of Borgu, a town in Niger State because he likes to be so called not because the title per se has any serious traditional meaning or relevant to the chieftaincy hierarchy of Borgu. "Throw corns to the chickens". That's how he addresses his spineless supporters and followers. Whatever he says or ordered reverberates and resonates within the party structure in Lagos so quickly that instant affirmation follows. Even if there are superior views, no one dare express them.

The tamed political followership in Lagos cannot fathom how a mortal being can argue with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. It is a taboo. It is unheard of. It is sacrilegious. Having been weaned from the political dogmatism of Lagos State, VP Osinbajo's declaration, much as it is a soothing balm to most Nigerians, remains an effrontery to Lagos APC members. They can't think out of the box. They are quick to point to ingratitude or betrayal.

Pray, does the public office of Lagos State belong to the Tinubu family from which Asiwaju dishes out favours as he wills? Are the public offices not funded by tax payers' money? Was Asiwaju himself not helped, assisted and favoured by the likes of PA Abraham Adesanya, Ganiyu Dawodu and co over the late Engr. Funsho Williams in 1998? Has anyone bothered to ask how he repaid those elders and with what he repaid them with? Within 8 years, Asiwaju used nothing less than 3 deputy governors. What does that tell anyone about his team play?

Babatunde Raji Fashola was not to be given a second term ticket until Tinubu saw the handwriting of Lagosians (not Lagos ACN of the time) on the wall. He reprobates and approbates at the same time.

Because of his unquenchable thirst for primitive accumulation, Lagos State has lost all the gains of the Fashola years. The State now looks like a big chaotic scene of a horror movie where nothing functions. Don't blame the Lagos APC members. They ain't used to democracy. They are strangers to independent mindedness.

But they should be reminded, whether they recognize it or not, that the patronage Tinubu dishes does not belong to him or his family. It is a commonwealth. The man Asiwaju, does no favour without expecting quantum rewards in return.

This is the character the Lagos APC members want as Nigeria's president. Take a look at Lagos where the sitting governor, who's a general manager reporting to a CEO, can barely think of his own accord. Take a look at the dysfunctionality of the city of Lagos under his supervision and you wouldn't want Nigeria to become likewise.

2023 will certainly be a departure from the old order. I see a new order springing up in lagos.

True words

Let us all say no to Tinubu.. He will run Nigeria dry

The more reason why sane Nigerians must stop him. I can't even imagine what Nigeria would become under him.

Shot!!!

No politicians in Lagos have confidence in challenging Tinubu decisions on who become governor, Senator, house of rep, that is why I respect JANDOR that decamp to PDP to say enough is enough in Lagos.

LAGOS 4 LAGOS means Lagosian free yourself from bourdillon bondage.

I said it somewhere else that every damn thing Bola Tinubu ever did , he cashed out from big time.

Buhari will beat his chest to say he has more than compensated Tinubu for helping him to power because huge huge contracts running into billions of naira have been awarded to him, coupled with appointing his men into office.

If Tinubu spent 3b on buhari's election, he has since recouped 10b naira on his investment.

Peter Obi is the only solution for those of you who still think Nigeria can work as an entity.

You are 100% correct, I told people fashola was the last governor lagos had, can you imagine lagos gdp is bigger than that of Oslo Norway and many big Europeans cities, but can you campare them? The longest road sanwo olu has constructed is not more than 8km at a stretch, but look at some other states with lower revenues, and compare the roads constructed by them, the last time akwa ibom commissioned 27km Road at a stretch, i will write about what's going on lagos subsequently.

Rubbish party

Insightful thoughts

Very true

Ofcourse the average yrb-mslm loves freebies that they have sold their conscience and grey matter for a wrap of garri!

Hungry people, why wont the frogeyes see them as slaves!

If Lagosians aren't complaining, please let them be. Even we that 'practice democracy' have had unpopular choice foisted on us by the FG like in my home state.

You cannot cry more than the bereaved.

They call themselves "progressives"

Keep quiet if you have nothing to contribute. Lagos are not complaining but they want to force the man on every Nigerian. Let him keep ruling Lagos and leave Nigeria alone.

I have something to contribute and what I want to contribute is this: "I gaghi ebeekari onye mma ya nwuru na akwa".

All your whinings in 2015 didn't swerve their allegiance on the Buhari/Osibanjo ticket, nor during the return in 2019 even after 4 years of experience.

Except you have amnesia, you should have known how to 'not waste your energy' by now.

That is why nigeria is not moving forward, why don't you try to defend the allegations I raised rather than behaving like agbero. For your own information I am more yoruba than yourself our only difference is that I am more exposed and want good government in naija.

Let’s move this to front page please!

Lagos state Local Governments just appointed Supervisory Councilors and Special Assistants several months after Local Government election...all because Asiwaju just approved the lists...


He has been busy since they say!
