Something funny is happening in Kogi state. This state has three major ethnic groups i.e. Ebiras, Igalas and Okuns (Yorubas). But sadly, since the creation of the state, only the Igalas and Ebiras have been ruling back to back. No Okun/Yoruba has ever ruled Kogi state since its creation.

In Delta State, there are three major ethnic groups i.e. Urhobos, Anioma/Igbos and Itshekiri. All of them have ruled accordingly. In Rivers State, both the Igboid upland areas and the Ijoid riverine areas have ruled.

So, why is Kogi state different? Even Dino Melaye, an Okun man who contested under PDP was disgraced. A major opposition party like PDP performed so woefully that ordinary SDP candidate almost won against APC.

SDP candidate was Igala.
APC candidate was Ebira.
PDP candidate was Okun/Yoruba.

Yet the contest was between SDP Igala and APC Ebira. Why are the Okuns maltreated in Kogi state?

Because politics is a unity game
And the yorubas don’t have the numbers that’s why they have to merge
But after the government of usman Ododo
Know that it’s the turn of the yorubas

I don't see that happening. Igalas almost won with an unknown party like SDP, if not for massive rigging. Then what do you think will happen if the Igala candidate was in a party with structure like PDP?

Igalas will be too angry that Ebiras has ruled for 12/16 years unbroken to let the next opportunity slip.

Smh

Nobody is stopping anyone from contesting, election is a matter of majority of votes cast.

Politics is a game of numbers and have the most population in kogi state. The ebiras are second and the Okuns are third. Igalas have always produced the governors in Kogi and Bello, an ebira man would never have become governor if it wasnt for the death of Audu.

Kogi is not SW. SW is Mainly Yoruba with Ijaw, Ijebu, and other smaller minority groups. Simple logic tells you that Kogi is not Yoruba.

Yorubas are minority in Kogi state.However the candidate PDP presented is a Yoruba man. His people did not vote him because he offended Yoruba kingdom by making jest of Tinubu the Yoruba kingdom candidate in the last election.

Go to court for clarification and stop asking us dumbo question

I know where you are from and I know you intentions. However, I will indulge you a bit.

I am an Ebiraman, and the only reason we're governing today is because of divine intervention. If Audu had not died, I very much doubt Ebira would have had the opportunity to govern. Hopefully, after Ododo, there would be a credible candidate from kogi west vying for the office.

Dino was an unpopular candidate, hence the reason he didn't do well.

Dino Melaye is damaged goods that was imposed on Kogi state PDP by National to reward him for supporting Atiku during the presidential primaries. Even those PDP people at state level worked against him because they hated the unprincipled rascal.

How can the Yoruba people of Kogi State present someone like Nollywood Politician Dino and expect to win a Gubernatorial election.

The Yoruba/Okun people of Kogi state need to really strategize now and now to have good hope of winning majority votes in 20 years time.

God bless Kogi state

Have idomas ruled in Benue Dino Melaye that was mocking Tinubu, the same Dino that flaunts luxury cars on social media, the same Dino that behaves like a fool on SM Its not about tribe. The 5 local governments where yorubas dominate he lost. So his people rejected him too.

Has Christian Ruled Kogi Before even an Igala one?
Kogi has a huge Christian Population close to half of the State
Did you see what happened to James Faleke when he should have taken over?

THE EGBIRAS ARE MORE WICKED YORUBA RACE AND MORE OPPORTUNISTIC.

Lol, how do you expect anyone to vote Dino Melaye? When Okun has a better candidate they may get it, even the ebiras just got lucky with Yahaya Bello and he used his might to get another ebira man into it.u

Okuns have never been lucky with leaders, another Dino is Smart Adeyemi, another wrong man. Okun best bet would have been James Faleke, but we all know how it played out at the end.

Kogi West is Yoruba

But apart from that Yorubas Traditionally see Egbira and Igala as very Close relatives and
Historically they work together when the need arises for example Together they Chased and kicked the Fulani Jihad out of the Kogi Area and there is not a Single Emirate there

You're allowed to compete you're not guaranteed to win. The people will vote who ever they please. If you think it's because they hate them what do you want to do about it?

Look at your favorite sports league and as your self has every team won and if they all won an equal number of times. I don't see why you guys expect it equality in competitive ventures when you don't see it play out anywhere else in life.

You mean, Yorubas helped to kick Fulani jihadists out of Kogi area? Yorubas helped Igala and Egbira to chase Fulanis away yet same Yorubas couldn't help their own people in Kwara? Today, Kwara is under emirate authority.

In the last election, The Okun ie the Yoruba man in the gubernatorial contest by name Dino malaria did not win because he could not give to himself the advice he gave to Peter Obi. I do not think it was because of tribe.

Politics is much more than a game of numbers! That’s just the excuse some greedy, power-hungry cretins use to seize power or hold on to it! If there’s no fairness in politics then it will lead to all manner of complications!

If politics was just a game of numbers, then apparently Delta, Rivers and the south-east didn’t get the memo! The aforementioned are places where even those with the least amount of ‘numbers’ are supported to have a go -either at state or national level- when it’s clear to all that the numerically strong ones have had their turn or had more than their fair share when others are yet to have theirs!

If you don't know History ask those who do

The British fought the Yoruba Ruler of ilorin called Balogun Inakoju alanamu in 1900 to take Over Ilorin

The Emir had already been defeated and deposed by him and his followers

Balogun alanamu was the Yoruba Ruler of ilorin

The rest is Tribal Politics

There are some Historians who even claim the real reason the British reinstated the Emir in Ilorin was because he was the one that gave Lord Lugard the information that was used to Track down and kill the fleeing Sultan of Sokoto Caliphate Attahiru and his Jihadist Army at Gombe
So the British reinstated hin as Emir of Ilorin as a reward

Many Fulani even see the Emir of Ilorin as a Traitor who sold out the Sultan of Sokoto Attahiru and his Sokoto Caliphate to the British

The Yorubas also deposed the Emir of Ilorin in 1934 he fled to Kaduna and was again reinstated by the British after 2 years
