Safari29: Why pdp will loose
they have clueless president
they are too corrupt
they play blame game every time for failures
most of their governors are thugs and clueless
They sponsor Bokoharam

Not a valid reason

The president is not as clueless as you bigots think. How can a clueless person be giving a smart person headache

APC Lagos is owning 600 billion from imf but the country is owning about just 20 billion

Book haram is APC and its a known fact

APC has been in the blame game since your Jagaban killed Funsho Williams

barcanista: Some fools that have little or no idea of Lagos Politics are saying that "Funsho Williams would have won Fashola in 2007". The Same Funsho Williams that lost to Tinubu in 2003. What people failed to understand is that politics is about strategizing. Williams was popular but not as popular as Tinubu. Williams belonged to Bode George's camp and was at a pole position to defeat Koro, Adeseye Ogunlewe, Prince Adeniji Adele and others within the PDP. There was a heated rivalrÝ among the trio of Williams, Koro and Ogunlewe in d PDP until his gruesome murder. Hence, the police arrested PDP aspirants. Funso's death was an entirely PDP affair(my opinion). Just as Dr. Ayo Daramola a PDP aspirant was murdered in 2006 and fingers were pointing to the PDP Governor Ayo Fayose. Only ignorant ppl will think that Tinubu was d beneficiary of Funso's death. The Beneficiary was Musliu Obanikoro (though not accusing him). As for Ige, I still don't think Omisore directly av a hand. It could either be one of Omi's Aide/loyalist/beneficiary or one of Ige's political enemies.

Bros what are you saying ?

Afenifere wanted Tinubu 2003 and that's why he won. Now that likes of Awolowo and afenifere are against him, there is no way APC can win in Lagos again.

Are you sure you know anything about Lagos at all ?

Jangaban my man aka APC

phabulux: Painting a picture of lies? For ffuck's sake, what business of mine is it who wins so long it's not a murderer? You PDP asinine ffools are the ones making victory a life or death issue.

Aj HAREM? Are you sure you've not caught syphilis?

Why not answer the question. Who are APC members ? Ex PDP members

dguyindcorner: we want a taste of another administration in Nigeria. we are tired of PDP.

Answer the bloody question. Are APC members not ex PDP members ?

phabulux: Nope, it's not your problem except you choose to make it yours.

You probably just woke and didn't think what you wrote through. PDP and corruption are synonymous, not PDP and goodies.

And APC is a party of saints ?

Who are the members that make up APC ? Ex PDP members

So don't come here and start painting a picture of lies to Nigerians

phabulux: What reason is there in what you just said?

Omisore as the deputy governor impacted your life and gave you reason for a better future in Nigeria where governors only allow their deputies to be invited to parties? I should tune in to a radio channel that will, of course, not be partial?

How has Aregbosola's administration affected yours unless you are part of the problem we have in Nigeria

Omisore should win jare

He left a democratic party for an APC Aregesola political criminals

Johnnyessence: arresting any APC leader will lead to protest of youth, the aged people and d elite even d less privilege will protest for d act and method d PDP is using to rig election. their will be serious protest in d land if their is manipulating of voters result,their will be serious protest in d land they av arranged for d Three returning officers that will announced d result so good luck should be ready for serious protest of revolution of d state and in d country.

You are just ranting. Which youths? The youths are in support of PDP. If APC tries rubbish and pay people like you to protest, I will endeavour the solders to shot any thug pretending to be a youth.

Why are you youths so stu.pid now are days. APC has been stealing you dry and yet truncating democracy and yet you think we love that ?

Are you ppl really this stu.pid?

The most democratic rule ever is PDP. Fact and take that to the bank

APC is not a good opposition and stop deceiving people here.

Ktwice: I know I will get to fp one day

and today is the day

[b]When we eventually participated in 2011, we jolted APC. We won in several Local Government Areas, but they imposed themselves on the people, especially in such Local Government Areas as Badagry, Agbado-Okeodo, Eti-Osa, Somolu, Eredo, Epe, Ikorodu, Oshodi, Lagos Mainland. They conspired with LASIEC to announce results of elections conducted far away in Badagry, Epe, etc; as against the results announced by the returning Officers posted to those Areas.

We believe strongly that the LASIEC officials must have compromised. We avoided Street Protests but rather approached the tribunals. The Tribunals returned some of our victories, but Fashola compelled and influenced the Appeal tribunal to deny us the victories. The APC and state government undermined the judicial process to deny PDP of any Local Government Control. They have both murdered Democracy and Justice in Lagos State. Fashola is now avoiding any Local Government election because we will be better prepared to protect our votes. Defeat will also expose them as unpopular before the next Governorship elections[/b]

Sunofgod: I expect 'Tinubu' to commit suicide in 2015 . . . . . or die of heart failure. Mark my words!

for the 3rd time this year, I agree with you Not only tinubu but lie mohammed, Aregbesola and all other thieves

By DAPO AKINREFON

THE build -up to the 2015 governorship elections in Lagos State is getting hot. Already, the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, are engaged in subtle moves.
In the APC, the endorsement of erstwhile Accountant-General of Lagos, Mr Akin Ambode by the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, is already causing stir. The Lagos PDP, which has been in the opposition for 15 years, is not resting on its oars to ensure it forms the next government.

Spokespersons of the two leading parties in the state, spoke to Vanguard on the matter.
We’re prepared to kick APC out of Lagos—Gani
Mr Taofik Gani is the state Publicity Secretary of the PDP in Lagos State. In this interview, he expressed optimism that the PDP is strategising to end the 16 years rule of the APC in Lagos State. Excerpts:
How is your party preparing for the 2015 general elections?
The Lagos State PDP is well prepared more than ever before. We are indeed satisfied with the progress we have made in our preparations. Our preparation will however continue and improve till it culminates into our victory in all the elections, from House of Assembly, House of Reps; Senate, Governor and President.

Do you think your party is strong considering the various factions in your party?
Point of correction, there is no faction in Lagos PDP. All who were used as moles to always cause acrimony in the system have been demobilised and most have left the Party to their paymasters. We now have a membership that can be trusted. We shall no doubt expect betrayal. Even Jesus was betrayed. We shall however reduce that to very impotent level as we go into elections. Now, what we have is healthy competition amongst the various interests and aspirants. There is the jostle for popularity and this has increased activities in the Party.
This is indeed acceptable in ordinary Politics especially in a large political party as PDP. There are no factions at all in the Party. Ditto any life threatening bickering. All that, are things of the Past in Lagos PDP. This is one area that the State Chairman, Tunji Shelle, has left an indelible imprint. He must be commended for promoting, Fairness, Justice and Equity in the Party. His Leadership has turned around PDP in lagos State.

Taofik Gani
Taofik Gani
He reorientated the members to know that we all belong to PDP and whatever differences must not be used to divide the Party, but to strengthen the Party. Tunji Shelle is the game changer in Lagos PDP.

Mixed reactions greeted the outcome of the Ekiti State governorship elections. Do you think your party can repeat the feat recorded by Mr Ayodele Fayose?
Before the landslide victory in Ekiti, Lagos was the surest for PDP to win. The certainty has not changed. This is because the APC is being rejected in Lagos State as a result of their own undoing. They lost Ekiti because of same reason(s), that is they run a government with no human face. There is high handedness, arrogance and Secrecy. Ask people in Alimosho, Ago, Okota and many areas of Lagos and they will tell you they can’t wait for the elections to vote out APC. The people are agitated and ready. Governor Fayemi was warned to improve his governance before the election but he chose to be arrogant and confident in the Power of incumbency. Now he is regretting.
Same way Governor Fashola will lead APC to Political perdition in Lagos State. He is not only destroying his government, but also his Party. He has been very arrogant and harsh in his Policies for over seven years, but now that they suffered defeat in Ekiti and because election is near, he is now faking humility and even has made subtle moves to relax some of his obnoxious policies, like in the areas of transportation, education and human rights abuse.
This is laughable and indeed coming too late. Lagosians cannot be fooled again. APC remains rejected. Our areas of campaign will remain in our kitty until when the campaign proper starts. We are convinced that Lagosians will agree with our criticism of APC and vote out the Party. We will thus equal the record achieved in Ekiti State.

What are the qualities the next governor must posses?
First is to be God-fearing. We believe this is lacking in Fashola. Second is to be close to the people. We will not reel out other attributes so that APC does not use as template. You will find all the qualities in our eventual candidate.
How do you assess the APC-led government in Lagos State?
The APC led government in Lagos state has been overwhelmingly disappointing, very deceitful and propagandists. They have failed in the delivery of actual dividends of democracy to Lagosians. Fashola is only sustaining his government on propaganda. This type of Party must not be allowed to continue governing Lagos State, not to talk of the Centre. A Party where leadership is only interested in taking over public property and resources. Very soon we shall make public the Lagos State Property and Resources stolen since 1999. The APC people may likely end up in jail after this tenure.
Why do you think the local government elections have not been conducted?
They cannot conduct the Local Government elections because they will be further exposed as weak in electoral value. They only make noise and rig Local government elections. They enjoyed the exclusive control of the local Government because PDP boycotted the Local Government elections as a result of Constitutional issues. When we eventually participated in 2011, we jolted APC. We won in several Local Government Areas, but they imposed themselves on the people, especially in such Local Government Areas as Badagry, Agbado-Okeodo, Eti-Osa, Somolu, Eredo, Epe, Ikorodu, Oshodi, Lagos Mainland. They conspired with LASIEC to announce results of elections conducted far away in Badagry, Epe, etc; as against the results announced by the returning Officers posted to those Areas.
We believe strongly that the LASIEC officials must have compromised. We avoided Street Protests but rather approached the tribunals. The Tribunals returned some of our victories, but Fashola compelled and influenced the Appeal tribunal to deny us the victories. The APC and state government undermined the judicial process to deny PDP of any Local Government Control. They have both murdered Democracy and Justice in Lagos State. Fashola is now avoiding any Local Government election because we will be better prepared to protect our votes. Defeat will also expose them as unpopular before the next Governorship elections
.
Your party is threatening to capture the Southwest . Do you think this is feasible?
Not Capture, but will win southwest. It is more than feasible. APC as AC and ACN never won any elections in Southwest. They got all the supports from the Court of Appeal which turned the Courts to ballot boxes. He gave them all the Judiciary support to steal Southwest from PDP. Now they have been there and the people have seen how repulsive they can be. They have come out worse in acceptance. They have lost Ondo, Ekiti. They will lose Osun. They will lose all south west states, especially Lagos State.
Will your party be zoning the governorship seat as the APC has done?
The Zoning theory is a bait by APC. We will not be caught up in that. They have the burden to Zone as they have disappointed the People and are rejected in Lagos West and Lagos Central. PDP will give to Lagosians, the best man for the Job, irrespective of the Zone. We are interested in credibility, Sincerity and ability to deliver actual dividends of democracy in Lagos State. This is without prejudice to the eventual decision of the Party’s leadership on Zoning. Such decision will be made meticulously.

How is your response to the agitation for a Christian governor by some Christians?
Another bait. Lagosians don’t play politics of religion. APC is fielding a Christian and so they want to promote the agitation. We have all it takes to diffuse such negative politicking in our system.
Our leaders and researchers are already working to know the true expectation of Lagos voters on religious consideration. We will thus satisfy the majority wish. PDP is not a party of religious bigots. Lagosians want good governance and that will be our target for our Candidate.

Johnnyessence: its so bad and devastating in this country we don't embrace debate.in a good Democratic settings we ought to be doing debate, imagine PDP candidates avoiding d debate second time now when is he going to tell us his manifestos.I believe d will of God will surely prevail on his people.

crownwealth: Where is the airport

APC Scam !!!!!

Isryl02: He's still not getting my vote

Your vote don't count. Looool

These people don't make sense. So because there will be the military and police to ensure no rigging is seen as bad ?

APC people are mad indeed

lekkie073: Tinubu sent agbaje to come and cause chaos in PDP. The guy (tinubu ) is good at strategies but.........no way !

Good !

CrossLegge: Of course. APC is the party that has spent all those trillions on electricity that hasn't improved since 1999. It is APC that has turned our universities into dens of prostitution and Yahoo Boys. And it is APC that has failed to end Boko Haram after spending N3tr in 3 years. Yes, APC is to blame, not the PDP. PDP is so perfect, they should rule for life. Power, Power, Power!!!

You are not informed. Believe it or not, APC Lagos topped the list of external debtors with[b] $517,677,672 as of June 30, 2012.[/b]

WHICH IS WORSE

http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/exclusive/fashola-denies-taking-15m-loan-from-ex-im-bank-weeks-after-seeking-600m-from-world-bank/

People should start using their brains

APC is a devilish party

thunderrider: I will ask but a few questions..
How well did Dosunmu integrate the party members and chieftains then?
How well was he able to reconcile the agrieved parties ?
What % of the party members was he really able to convince he's the right man for the job
- 10%, 20%, 30%........?
i will gladly appreciate sincere answers to this questions
cos I have been looking for the answers since then.
Was Dosunmu sincerely interested in winning the race then?

lekkie073: .
Dosunmu is not the state leader of the party. So the onus of uniting d aggrieved members does not lie on him.
On the issue of convincing anyone, PDP were convinced he is the best man for d job. He has been tested with heading a govt parastatal and he did well. . those in Nigeria maritime agency will testify to this

Good job

@ thunderrider, Lekkie073 has answer the question very well.

Dosunmu is a grassroot man unlike Jimi. BTW I know both men quite a bit

vedd: There is no worse a nation than a people without clear-cut vision, ideology, direction and purpose.
A people who stand for nothing are easy subject for manipulation and subjugation.
Today, Biafra.
Tomorow, One Nigeria!
I have always held this view that ibos need Nigeria far more than the country needs them. What this country needs is concerted effort and a proper sanctioning principles and practices. Not chest beatings.

Nicely put !

lekkie073: Lagos state resemble chemist for ya eye?

no mind am

gbeseun: Continue deceiving ourselves,u are all looking for what gej will send to u guys from abuja to fight lagos,but u av forgotten that obj is more carried that all of u,he failed so Ur clueless leader will fail in his quest of taking over lagos,lagos is no go area to all PDP,we are omoluwabi,we are gentlemen here

Look we don't care about GEJ or Abuja. We just want our state back.

We want to take it away from and Osun Thief. Tinubu. That's the truth

lekkie073: Guy, I suspect u grew up in DAT area but later on moved. The way name the streets......big ups bro. Am born and bred within DAT locality u just mentioned. And FYI, I am the youth coordinator of PDP ward f1 Surulere. Dosunmu was not given any ministerial appointment because he could not win his ward (f1) where he registered and voted. Then, I was a staunch acn member. He underated me personally. Dats why he lost DAT ward. Bit things have changed and am now in PDP ready to use my influence to get the youths of DAT ward to vote him in. Whether he wins the totality of Lagos state I don't care....

So you know egbon kaka ?

wow you are closer to me than you realise

thunderrider: Jimi stands a better chance than Dosunmu
I just hope the internal rancour in the is settled first
cos that is what has kept the state in the hands of APC

In what why does Jimi stand a better chance than Dosumu. Please explain
