mrjangaweed: Thunder fire your rotten mama

Gboliwe: [s] Clearly, you are not including APC the party of of noisemakers. That one is irredeemable. They CANNOT make amends for good. They are rebellious by nature and the arrogance in them cannot make for them to recognise they are unintelligent. .They believe that by making noise and disturbing the airwaves, they are making a headway. Actually, they are, but the headway is towards self destruction.

I can't wait for their primaries to begin. I am certain of a good laugh all through the period. [/s]

Mynd44: If PDP got over 200 thousand votes and
won convincingly in 4 local govts, while APC got over 300 thousand votes and won convincingly in more than 20 Lgs...
We need to think beyond the victory of winning or pains of losing elections and
ask detailed questions.
Is it that there are more people in those 4 LGAs where the PDP won than most of the whole state?

Thinking caps people

Chaleeee: Dumbo, you know you have to subtract that figure from the total vote cast of the winner....the margin will be less than 1500 votes. That definitely calls for a run off. And trust me PDP will win in that circumstance because they now know their weak areas...

gratiaeo: Your problem is poverty!!! Only poor people reason like you

smallJagaban: JONATHAN WILL NOT GET VOTES FROM NORTH AND SOUTH WEST IN 2015.

LAGOS AND KANO VOTES SHAKE 5 STATES VOTE IN SOUTH SOUTH AND SOUTH EAST.


#SOUTH EAST AND SOUTH SOUTH VOTES CAN'T MAKE HIM WIN

Decoders come and do your work

jerseyboy: [s] The final tally of APC 394,684 to PDPs 292,747 might at first seem like a substantial victory. But when you analyze further there might not be much cheer for the APC.

With a damaged candidate that had murder rumor hanging over its head which guaranteed him to lose Ilesha massively. The quality of the PDP candidate affected him across state even in his own strong hold of Ife which he did not carry overwhelmingly. Again many could not get over the Bola Ige murmur. Yet a mere swing of roughly 50,000 votes would have swung the election in his favor. This in the original home state of Bola Tinubu the man born in in Osun state. This was no victory at all for Aregbesola. It actually should call for soul searching. What would have happened if PDP had nominated some one other than Omisore as his flag bearer?. Omisore as the candidate of the PDP allowed Aregbesola and the APC to escape a true referendum of the 4 years of stewardship. The murder of Bola Ige became the subtext of the election.

APC should reflect on why all elections in its 'stronghold of South West are all billed to be tight. Of the 3 left Ogun, Oyo and Lagos, they will be lucky to get 2 of the 3 . I won't put my money on it.

You get the feeling people are not convinced that this is the authentic opposition that Nigeria badly needs to topple PDPs years of poor governance. Why? The difference between PDP and ACN is hypocrisy. A thief is bad enough but a thief and a hypocrite that imposes the yoke of high taxes on you while building a kilometer of road for 1.2 billion Naira is unforgivable. That is the future APC must confront. [/s]

atlwireles: By Femi Aribisala
[s] The only way the APC could have won the Osun election is by rigging it.
My first impressions are usually mistaken. If I have a good first-impression about someone, it generally turns out to be wrong. But if I have a bad first-impression, it usually turns out to be right. However, if my bad first-impression remains bad; or if my good first-impression remains good; it means my view of the person is bullet-proof.
Attahiru Jega
My first-impression of Attahiru Jega was very good when he was appointed INEC chairman in 2010. Then, as I watched him for hours painstakingly collating the results of the 2011 elections with the help of university vice-chancellors, that first-impression was more than reinforced. I concluded that the winner of the 2011 elections was Jega himself. That led me to ask myself: since we have this kind of man in Nigeria, how come we never elect someone like him as president?
My opinion of Attahiru Jega has not changed. He remains one of the best presidential materials we have in Nigeria today. He is also by far Nigeria’s best public-servant, as far as I know. Here is a man who is not only highly-educated; he is also very competent and scrupulously honest. He is yet again, the real winner of the Osun election; and he is doing a fantastic job transforming the electoral process in Nigeria for the better and even the

best.

God has given us in Jega a man that is making what we thought was impossible possible. He not only deserves to get a second-term as INEC chairman after his term expires in 2015; he would also be a shoo-in if he were to run for president thereafter. He already has my vote. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate Jega and his entire INEC team for excellent job they have been doing. They are really doing Nigeria proud.
New politics
The Supreme Court decision that led to the staggering of some gubernatorial elections has provided Jega and his INEC team with training-grounds for perfecting our electoral process. One-by-one; from Edo, Ondo, Anambra, Ekiti and now Osun, we have had election results that, by all accounts, reflected the true wishes of the people. That is a sign of progress in a Nigeria where progress is often few and far between.
As INEC has grown, so have some of the actors in the political process. Growth in the PDP is evidenced by increased internal democracy. PDP candidates are now chosen through popular democratic elections and not through the diktat of the party leadership; as used to happen during the Obasanjo presidency.

Governor Kayode Fayemi showed great maturity in accepting defeat and in congratulating Ayo Fayose after the last election in Ekiti. When INEC announced the victory of Ogbeni Aregbesola in the just-concluded Osun election, Goodluck Jonathan immediately congratulated him. Ayo Fayose of Ekiti also extended to him a right-hand of fellowship as neighbouring governor in the South-West; even though they belong to opposing parties. These are the nascent signs of new democratic politics in Nigeria.

Cry-wolf APC

In all this, there is still one big problem: the APC. The APC calls itself a progressive party, but in actual fact, it is antediluvian. It cannot recognize the sign of the times. When Fayemi accepted defeat in the Ekiti election, the bigwigs of PDP Central persuaded him to reject the result. They came up with such ludicrous allegations as ballot-papers with disappearing ink. One thing is clear; the APC does not recognize any election that it loses. Moreover, the APC cries wolf in every election it is going to lose, or is afraid to lose.
APC clearly does not believe in democracy or in the democratic process. It is the party of threats and blackmail. It is the party of Muhammadu Buhari; who says the dogs and the baboon will be soaked in blood if the 2015 election is rigged. It is the party of Bola Tinubu, who declared that in Ekiti it will be “rig and roast.” It is the party of Murtala Nyako, who says there will be civil war if Goodluck Jonathan runs for president in the next election.

Beforig the election which it discovered through its detective agency. Its Sherlock Holmes in this regard is Lai Mohammed, its Publicity Secretary. Lai Mohammed has the unique capacity to smell smoke where there is no fire whatsoever. These days, whenever he makes an announcement, it is to cry wolf yet again.

A dishonest party will tend to presume dishonesty in others, especially when it discovers that its traditional channels for manipulating elections have been blocked. The APC doctrine implies that no election can be won in the Nigeria unless it is rigged. This doctrine cannot be conveniently jettisoned now that APC has won in Osun. The APC position is like the backward belief in Nigeria that, if anybody dies, he or she must have been killed. Likewise, if anybody in Osun, it cannot be what the APC is touting it to be.

The truth is that it is all a figment of APC’s anti-deun was the only South-West state that Jonathan lost in 2011. PDP obtained 188,409 votes to ACN’s 299,711. That is a relative vote-share of 38% PDP to 62% ACN. But three years later, in this gubernatorial election, PDP obtained 292,747 votes to ACN/APC’s 394.684. That is a relative vote-share of 42% PDP to 58% ACN/APC. That shows the strength of the PDP has increased in Osun state, relative to that of the APC. When you factor in the APC power of incumbency in Osun, then this election becomes nothing short of disastrous for APC’s presidential aspirations.

If PDP can defeat APC in Ekiti, where APC had a sitting governor; and if PDP can take 42% of the APC vote in Osun, where the APC also had the advantage of a sitting governor; and since Ekiti and Osun are supposedly APC strongholds; then the APC does not have a prayer in the coming presidential election. It will not give any serious contest to the PDP and President Goodluck Jonathan.
