Sirjamo: It is even an insult to our sensibilities that PDP is being allowed to participate in our elections after the damages they did to us for 16 years. Somebody should kill that useless thing and bury it in a concrete grave!!!
but the APC damage has surpassed 16 years of PDP so keep quite .are you not ashamed ?
Bigflamie: The government are to be blamed if this goes out of hand.
The law enforcement agencies have been killing unarmed people for no just cause and you all think they will continue to fold their hands and watch them being massacred?
use violence , yahama bello thugs, security personals and inec to rig you out
if you are very tough, women leader would be roasted and election will be declared inconclusive
then, they will rig you out with ijebu gari vote counting method
this same method will be used to return Akpabio to Senate
who’S fault .we will only talk on Nairaland,no action .nobody is going to fight for us .we will ourself.if Nigeria can use mob on a thief that steals yam then why can’t they protect their right ,I mean all fundamental human right .we should do it with everything we have .i find out that the only tools been used by politicians are thugs and media .we know all of them we are seeing them ,let’s use the energy we use on media on them first ,I believe no politician can survive without thugs under this APC .Then wage war on them .we just need scapegoat.thats all but we can’t fight .Look at Iraq ,chile ,Sudan ,Bolivia .they have all pushed bad politicians and open way to transparency.continue wailing on social media without action .continue
Bennycollins: You see why Oshiomhole and many Apc members and supporters would go to hell? Now they want us to believe Smart, and not Dino, would make Kogi People proud. Since when? In 2015 they presented Dino to Kogi people as a better option to Smart of the PDP.
i guess we still have many gullible people around .I don’t blame oshio but the APC followers .APC followers are like cattle and Fulani
AmeboFeeds: Ever conscious leaders and citizens of our beloved Ogun State, I greet you all. I trust that you all must be concerned about the development of our beloved state just as I am.
The activities in our common patrimony demands of us the need to speak out, in the hope that things will be corrected; and in the unlikely event of that not happening, at least, it will be on record that we spoke.
It is about the peer review of our Governor, HE Dapo Abiodun, relative to his handling of affairs in the last six months since he mounted the saddle of authority in Ogun State.
To make things less cumbersome, I will speak under thematic headings and make comparisons with the past governors and also with a few good ones in this present class. For the past, I will be limiting the comparison to HE Olusegun Osoba, HE Gbenga Daniel, and HE Ibikunle Amosun. For those on the saddle right now, I will limit myself to HE Seyi Makinde of Oyo State and HE Bello Mattawalle of Zamfara.
Areas to be reviewed: 1. General perception of capacity in office 2. Stabilisation of governance 3. Quick-wins 4. Recommendations going forward.
I make bold to say that in terms of the general perception of capacity, there is no gainsaying that Ogun has never had it so disappointing. I refresh your minds to how it was in the class of 1999 when Chief Olusegun Osoba was the leader, not only in the South West, but was also revered by many Nigerians as one who moved with clarity. You may need to remember how often his voice was heard, not just on Ogun State issues but also on the issues around the progressives in Nigeria.
Within six months, it was already clear that the Osoba government would take development to the fringes of the state and that the rural areas would get connected with activities. His Commissioner for Works, Segun Adesegun, had settled in office, and his office had become a beehive. At about the same time of six months, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, during his time, had become the wonder boy in government and project development. The entire country knew that something was up in Ogun State. Computerisation of the civil service had commenced. Also, structures and projects were already commissioned. Need I say that Daniel's pace of work was, till then, unmatched in our country. Ogun State was in the news for all the right reasons.
Senator Ibikunle Amosun had, undoubtedly, within the period under review, showed his hand firmly around his strength in road constructions. He had opened up the Ogun State economy for the influx of private sector investors in a way that had not been done before. It is on record that the former President Goodluck Jonathan administration opened more industries in Ogun State than any other state in the country. And needless to say that there was a purposefulness that brought skilled Ogun indigenes in the private sector on board. He had also commenced without delay the review of the Daniel administration. He proved that government is a sacred trust that must be reviewed and accounted for. In six months, the Amosun administration had the full structures of government in place.
Moving on to the present administration, with the activities of HE Dapo Abiodun, perhaps it may seem that he is up to something. But what is with this winking in the dark? What are his handlers doing relative to what we are used to in Ogun State? The continuous statements about public-private partnerships seem to me that the Abiodun government has no clear agenda of its own. And in case it does, it is going about things in a rather snail slow speed, which suggests a lack of preparedness. And to think his government put together such a large committee with a few good names to look at things is baffling to a patriotic citizen and lover of Ogun State.
Compare HE Dapo Abiodun to HE Seyi Makinde and tell me you are not concerned. I have no recollection at any time in this republic that commenced in 1999 that the people of Oyo State ever outpaced us in Ogun; not Lam Adesina, not Ladoja, not Akala, and certainly not Ajimobi. But can we say not Makinde? To say that will be to leave ourselves open to the butt of jokes. HE Abiodun has zero excuses for he has almost everyone, perhaps with the exception of HE Amosun, available to offer insight and suggestions. In our Yoruba proverb: Omo to ba ma je Asamu, kekere lo ti ma senu samu samu. ('The morning tells the day' , or 'make hay while the sun shines').
2. Stabilisation of Government Is it not strange that Ogun State has not put Commissioners in place and populated its statutory commissions and boards? Ogun has never had it so late. There is no excuse nor justification for this. What is not being considered is that not having full structures of governance in place, limits the ideas and energy that the government has to draw from. How can we watch the previously slow Federal Government put its cabinet in place, yet our beloved Ogun State, under HE Dapo Abiodun, will now be grouped alongside states that do not get settled in time to work?
There is the suspicion that those who do not form their cabinets on time are people who desire to run the resources of the state with their cronies, and without input from a cabinet. Whatever be the excuse, it is clear that on this score, one would have to wonder what has become of us. All our neighbours, Lagos and Oyo states, have their cabinets in place, why not Ogun? I am sure his party faithful and supporters are at a loss as to the real reason behind the delay.
3 Quick-Wins Anyone who desires to govern the people must know that humans are animals of short attention spans, and they tend to make up their minds quickly. As such, the champions of each era must understand that people want to see the direction and benefit of development immediately. Again, take a look at Oyo State and take a look at Zamfara and do a media audit of how those governors are perceived; then compare your audit findings with the situation in Ogun State. You will most likely return with the verdict that HE Dapo Abiodun needs to be worried.
The words on the streets of Ogun State are not favourable. Average opinion is that the Governor has taken on a responsibility that he is not prepared for. I find that extremely hard to accept for I recall his desire to be governor as far back as the 2001/2002 season. I am more persuaded to think that the challenge might be Abiodun's lack of team spirit - a case where someone courts everybody but really does not desire to work with anybody. I doubt that between Osoba, Daniel, Team Lagos, Isiaka, Team Yayi and the numerous blocks that are in his largely needless humongous coalition, what we have seen in six months is the best that is possible. So much more is expected and so much more must be done.
Recommendation HE Abiodun needs to review things comprehensively and remember that the class of 2019 governors are going to be under unprecedented pressure. This is because from what I sense, the 2023 race may start way too early, that is if it has not begun already, with all the rumoured ambitions for presidency coming from the stable of the ruling APC. The early start to 2023 elections will take its toll on governance, and, therefore, if the Governor is not careful, he may go down as the worst person to govern Ogun State and what exactly is to be gained from that? Nothing. When our elected representatives perform, they perform for all of us, but when they fail, oh la la, they fail in their names and with enormous consequences. HE Dapo Abiodun has no reason to fail, and he must be encouraged not to.

bettermandate80: The way and manner Nigerian celebrities are associating and acknowledging this Guy, shows very well there is a great synergy between entertainment and Yahoo game....Fraudsters are the greatest benefactor of Nigeria entertainment industry, no single doubt about that...

Digitiminimi: Sir, not all requests are good. Example: Death penalty for Hate Speech is a no go area. Turn Back on that. We Nigerians doesn't want that. Noone wants that. Thanks.
Officialgarri: PDP supporters are the most aggressive set of thugs in the history of Nigeria. They never accept defeat peacefully. It's either they are crying everywhere on social media or they are launching deadly attacks against their political rivals.
Well, years to come, PDP will be relegated to the level of parties like APGA...
your comment is noted very soon you will join wailers
vixpal: Wailers being retired early. Some of your observations noted. But you are always a hypocrite in your approach to criticism. You spoke about Kogi and remained silent about Rivers and Bayelsa.
Reno, you should be balanced in your approach like FFK. Anything and everything about Buhari and APC are bad, while anything and everything about GEJ and PDP are good.
Wailers talk about 100k gap in Okene LGA result for Kogi, but refused to compare it with 700k gap in Obio-Akpor for Rivers.
You talk about Leah, but refused to talk about Chibok Girls.
To put it mildly, you are a confirmed hypocrite
he tried fighting for something pick it from there .you are the hypocrite, useless old Nigerian fool and that’s why you are plugging in political mess .people like you embrace democracy like military rule and if someone is fighting for a cause you would discourage him because you are benefiting from the cup of rice giving you .instead of you to encourage him pick it from from where he’s left out you are totally condemning him .what have you fought for ?you too fight for chibok girls ,complain about rivers then we will unite together to fight our common enemy .stop ranting rubbish .
phyllosilicate: The All Progressives Congress candidate in the Kogi West senatorial district re-run election, Smart Adeyemi, has defeated Dino Melaye of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ijumu local government. Both candidates are from the local government. While Mr Adeyemi is an indigene of Iyara, Dino Melaye is from Aiyetoro, a neighbouring village. The final result for the local government was announced on Sunday morning. Mr Adeyemi’s APC polled a total of 11,627 votes while Mr Melaye’s PDP amassed 7,647 votes in the local government, according to the electoral commission, INEC. The candidate of the SDP, Natasha Akpoti, came a distant third with 49 votes. Ijumu is part of Kogi West senatorial district, the district the candidates seek to represent in the Senate.

At least one person sustained gunshot injury during the violence
yns4real: A PREMIUM TIMES journalist on Saturday caught a supporter of the Peoples Demcratic Party (PDP) voting multiple times at the polling unit of the opposition party’s candidate, Musa Wada.
Mr Wada voted at Polling Unit 001 in Ward 4, Odu- Ogbeyaga area of Dekina Local Government Area at about 10:15 a.m.
At around 12:30 p.m., the PDP candidate was still around the polling unit observing the exercise alongside his supporters.
Mr Wada, who spoke exclusively with PREMIUM TIMES shortly after casting his vote, had accused ‘APC thugs’ of attempting to snatch ballot boxes.
He said the thugs were repelled by the youth of the community and a handful of security operatives.
However, his unidentified supporter had his thumbprint on over 50 ballot papers as observed by this reporter.
The multiple voting was done on the table of the electoral officers with police and civil defense officers present.
Another supporter who appears to be in his late 40s was also seen hastening the multiple voter and his accomplices up. He told them that they were going to 400.
Earlier before the multiple voting started, this reporter witnessed a party agent who was furious with the INEC Presiding Officer, Samuel Imoukhuede.
Meanwhile, when PREMIUM TIMES approached Mr Imoukhuede, he claimed the agents, who wanted to carry out an “illegal” activity, were angry because he was not co-operating with them.
Asides the electoral fraud, there was shooting at intervals by a man from Mr Wada’s convoy, who was dressed in a suit.
This reporter saw voters and observers running helter skelter when they heard the gunshots.
There are 24 candidates jostling for the number one seat in Lugard House, the Kogi State Government House.
Rgade: Ever since APC Rose to prominence and became influential,every election that has ever taken place in Nigeria has been marred by violence .

Wiseandtrue: So why give us the amount in dollars when the transaction was made in naira
why didn't EFCC see Ganduje who collected $230,000 as part of a series of cash advancement to the governor in a total bribery deal of $5 million.
I mean we all saw how he had concealed a total of $230,000 in his babanriga for the day’s transaction and you are here making a mole out of a mountain hill for just $140,000 una no let us rest when it was Fayose oooo
What about the 2 bullion vans Didn't it exceed the threshold stipulated by the money laundering Act What happened to the petition you requested against Tinubu
You are only publishing this because OBJ did not support Buhari
Is the EFCC still an independent organization
Buhari fight against corruption is pure garbage!!!
So was Fayose but we saw how he was dragged through the mud!!!
themonk: Only brainless people will belive there is a place in Lagos you will pay $5M per year for rent.
How much is a mansion in Beverly Hills?
OP don't tell me you believe this rubbish.
thank you for your point .this Magu Guy is desperate over something I don’t trust this guy and every about his job is witch hunting.i have know efcc to be scammer of all scammers
UAE123: @ OP, I partially agreed with you that both Justices Mary Odili & Sylvester Ngwuta should have been among the Justices that ought to have heard the case filed by PDP but including would have ended up been a waste of time & days because APC would have resisted both of them the same way PDP resisted the President of the Court of Appeal from hearing the election petition at the Court of Appeal especially Justice Mary Odili because her husband is a well known person in PDP.
sometimes I wonder how you guys think on the way we judge .look at your response .its better you shut your mouth .our judiciary is in a mess and you are dancing about it .i hope you won’t cry later in future .
