The political dynamics in Nigeria is dramatic and full of setbacks, some governors resisted the gentleman's agreement they had with their godfathers and made headway, unfortunately, others could not!
Please permit me to be brief/to summarise

KATSINA STATE: Shema vs. Yar'adua; Shema defied Yar'adua orders, sacks SSG who's Yar'adua's relative

ADAMAWA STATE: Atiku vs Haruna; when Atiku became the vice president and he wanted to dictate leadership for Boni Haruna but the later resisted and served his people

GOMBE STATE: Goje vs. Dankwambo; after Goje worked hard for Dankwambo to succeed him to pilot the affairs of the state thinking is gonna be a smooth ride but his boy rebelled against his boss which till date they are not in good terms

AKWA IBOM STATE: Attah vs. Akpabio; Akpaboi who's the current Nigeria's senate president also had altercations with his former boss

AKWA IBOM STATE: Akpabio vs. Udom; Udom had dished out what Akpabio dished to Attah

ABIA STATE: Kalu vs. Orji; when Kalu wanted to remote-control Orji, but Orji almost killed the political career of Kalu in Abi State

ANAMBRA STATE: The Ubas vs Ngige; if Ngige is not a strong politician the Ubas could have messed him up in that state

EDO STATE: Oshiomhole vs Obaseki; Obaseki warned Oshiomhole that Edo State is not Lagos, immediately Oshiomhole behaved himself

RIVERS STATE: Ameachi vs Odili; Ameachi silenced Odili's political career in Rivers State

RIVERS STATE: Obj vs Ameachi; Ameachi defied Obasanjo's 'K leg' syndrome and became a governor

DELTA STATE: Uduaghan vs Okowa; when Okowa became governor citizens thought that Okowa would become a 'boy-boy' for the former, but Uduaghan was silent throughout the tenure of Okowa

RIVERS STATE: Wike vs Fubara; currently Fubara is on the final phase of sealing political domination of his predecessor

KADUNA STATE: El'Rufai vs Uba; Uba has already sent El'Rufai packing from the politics of Kaduna State and El'Rufai is on exile right now

KANO STATE: Kwankwaso vs Ganduje; unless it takes the intervention of God Ganduje has shredded the political career of his former boss

IMO STATE: Okorocha vs Uzodinma; Uzodinma has sentenced the political structure of Okorocha to life imprison

However, the case was different for some governors who tried to defy their godfathers orders and those governors received the greatest humiliation of their life/political careers

LAGOS STATE: Tinubu vs Ambode; Tinubu dealt with Ambode mercilessly to the extent that Tinubu forbade Ambode from succeeding for second term

LAGOS STATE: ...what was the circumstance that led to the elimination of Funsho Williams from the political arena of Lagos state?

LAGOS STATE: Tinubu vs Osinbanjo; Tinubu prevented Osinbanjo from succeeding Buhari

OYO STATE: Ibadan big boy vs Ladoja; when Rasheed Ladoja tried to challenge his godfather, Ladoja was humiliated with impeachment

OYO STATE:...what was the mystery behind the assassination of Bola Ige?

OGUN STATE: Obasanjo vs Osoba; Obasanjo allotted only one tenure for Osoba for trying to defy his orders

OGUN STATE: Obasanjo vs Bankole; Obasanjo vowed that in his life time, Bankole will never rule Ogun State and it's playing out

OSUN STATE: Aregbosola vs Oyetola; when the later dared the former, one term became his national anthem

KWARA STATE: Saraki (sr) vs Adesina; since godfatherism exists in that state, Lam Adesina served that state only one tenure, Saraki (sr) removed him and replaced him with Saraki (jn)

Distinguished ladies and gentlemen
Thank you all

Betrayal by a protegee isn't a noble act

We rise by lifting others

If Davido and Olamide baddoo decided to act like Burna boy and Wizkid... who go blow

Ask Mr Fabura a former Civil Servant ,how he spends his monthly security vote, office running cost, estacodes as a Governor

Is he better than his benefactor Wike who brought him from a minimum wage civil servant to a public office holder


.

This is beginning of the country's corruption and underdevelopment and it shouldn't be celebrated by anyone who mean well for this country

Why exclude
ANAMBRA STATE: Obiano vs Peter Obi. Obiano accused Obi of asking him to pay him some money which he refused. Obi took Obiano 2nd election as his personal fight. Campaigning vigorously against Obiano during Obiano 2nd Term election. But Anambra people still voted Obiano.

Distinguished ladies and gentlemen
Thank you all

In summary, only Yoruba cowards could not fight off Godfatherism

Even Fulanis fight off Godfatherism, but our spineless Yoruba cowardly governors can't do such.

You didn't include Jim Nwobodo vs Chimaroke Nnamani
Chimaroke Nnamani is Sullivan Chime

The bad side of God-fatherism

Its does not benefit the state in anyway, rather than some arrogant ex-governor trying to control and have access to the state finances whenever he wants

Where did you get all these concoction ?

How is Lam Adesina and Olusola Saraki related ?

Lam Adesina was a former governor of oyo state ( 1999-2003) while Olusola Saraki was the godfather of Kwara State politics in his days.

Lam Adesina failed to secure second term in 2003 election due to south West Alliance for Democracy governor's alignment with Obasanjo. All the South West governor lost to PDP except Bola Tinubu of Lagos who refused to sign pact with Obasanjo. So, Lam Adesina did not lose due to godfatherism but wrong political calculations.

It was a well known fact that Olusola Saraki installed former governor Mohammed Lawal as the governor of Kwara State in 1999. Governor Mohammed Lawal fought Olusola Saraki almost immediately he became the governor. He lost the battle as he failed to secure second term in office. Olusola Saraki won by installing his biological son, Bukola Saraki as the governor in 2003.

Endeavour to always do basic research before writing. Google is there for the lazy man.

Thank you all

op edit the Kwara state own, you are very wrong. The late Saraki senior, Senator Olusola Saraki sent Ex Governor Lawal packing why allowing his son Senator Bukola Saraki to be governor and do 8 years in government.

ANAMBRA STATE: Obiano vs Peter Obi. Obiano accused Obi of asking him to pay him some money which he refused. Obi took Obiano 2nd election as his personal fight. Campaigning vigorously against Obiano during Obiano 2nd Term election. But Anambra people still voted Obiano.

Hahahahaha! His shallow-minded disciples and Nzogbu-Nzogbu horde of illiterates will soon come to his defense.

Nigerians really dodged a bullet. His feminine ashewo voice is what I despise so much about the yes-daddy lunatic.

I was going to wade in on this too; or how's Oyo and Kwara States politically contiguous for him to have Lam Adeshina and Saraki ,(Snr.) warring against each other. Thanks for setting the record straight 👍👍

River state situation is not going to be business as usual, Wike is has alot of experience, that is evident in him purchasing Electoral Forms to all the local government chairmen and House of Assembly members. Wike also has a good leadership base of the local governments in the state. I don't know much about Fubura as a politician hitherto, but I don't think he has a good support base aside tribal support which cannot withstand turbulence from a formidable personality of Wike class. Fubura should stop ' testing the microphone at the start of the party ' and learn the dancing antics for now if he wants peace in the state.

Dey play

Governor Chris Ngige was the first to dislodge the UBA brothers

Very misleading list. Imagine adding Lagos.

Resisting godfatherism successfully is almost a tradition in the East

OP i don't understand the relationship between Lam and saraki, secondly your assertion as regards kadun(el rufai vs UBA) Is wrong , there is nothing like that between them.

KAMA....

Nigeria is this backward today because of Godfatherism😥😥😥

Best Governor Lagos state ever had is ambode, better than all his predecessors and his successor...




During ambode tenure, the whole of Lagos was lighted up everyday from 7pm till 7am but this werey wey dey there just turn Lagos to darkness, if you're not careful driving at night, you will climb those small culverts in the middle of the road.

During ambode period, he created official that will stay with you when your car breaks down and you will feel secure from this street touts and miscreants from harassing you...


Ambode finished projects under his 4 years administration consists:
1, abule egba bridge
2, oshodi terminals
3, jubilee bridge
4, constructed the whole of alagbado and agbado roads.
5, change the face of epe
6, constructed ibeshe road in ikorodu
7, paid pen cinema bridge in full to construction company before leaving office etc....

But this sanwo has no finished project under his 1st tenure and hasn't had any finished project till date.

If not for hatred from tinubu and his people, ambode would have transformed Lagos state to a better city right now...

Needless

Never bite the hand that feeds you.. It will come back to hunt you.. Take for instance amaechi, wike and then fubara...

Settle challenges amicably, but you know power corruptically intoxicates

There is no governor that impose a successor that won't have a clash with his successor.
Obaseki never want this and that was why he is fighting his deputy

Fubara don dey listen to Hunter's whistle óo!

So we can all agree Obi too supported Godfatherism!

it's all black mail

Yeye list.

I am not supporting godfatherism in politics but it is almost inevitable.

Many of this people mentioned here had silent truce..

It's just like meeting a release clause in club football so a player can be released.

Their godfathers were "taken care of " so they can hands off and let their boy breathe.

Does anyone really think the godfathers would just be pushed away like that hands akimbo

For uba and ngige.. does anyone remember what Uba did Ngige? To kidnap a sitting governor with police escort in broad day light na beans??

So leave all those things, this are common sense..

You sef that is reading this, if you sponsor someone to be common course rep or class captain and they backed off on your agreement. Would you just sit on the sideline and watch??

You failed to add that Obi defied his godfathers in Anambra but then Obiano dished out the same treatment to him .
