Obaseki is damaged forever politically. Any attempt to use him on either APC or PDP is a bonus for the either that contest against him

Ize-Iyamu better decamp back to PDP, head or tail he wins. Even if APC present obaseki as their candidate, obaseki's case is not defensible in any court of the land. Obaseki is forever damaged politically.

No matter what, obaseki is damaged finally, even if he contested and won on APC platform, PDP already know the joker to use in court to reverse the victory. Ize-Iyamu too should be thinking of going back to PDP again. I don't see obaseki as the governor again

bolaayenimo:
This is one of the most loyal deputy governors i have ever seen, not Ambode's deputy who fled

He's one of those that pushed obaseki to his downfall. Obaseki's interest and secrets would have been protected if he had been a good party man. I listened to obaseki himself just now, he couldn't explain the contradiction between the court oath he sworn to in 2016 and the physical certificate he's parading from UI. Of course he graduated from UI, but there is contradiction caused by himself for whatever reason the date he sworn to. UI should be very careful in defending a 'successful' alumnus.

Anyahuruagu:
Interesting

How? We don't want joor, the experience won't be different from that of Ibrahimovic and manU. The guy don old, Na time bomb, it will soon explode and expires suddenly.

bashcares:
Mr man... Akinwunmi Ambode is not an half man...he contested the primaries and lost, does that make him half...if you want to talk please bring facts...this same Ambode have never been a politician, he was a civil servant and served his tenure and left so what...mind you he's still collecting pensions from the Lagos civil service commission as a pensioner...

Stop comparing a politician and a civil servant...

Leaving a house you jointly built ignominiously is an act of cowardice, running away from war front like Ojukwu did was an act cowardice. How come that word is so difficult for Ibo to understand and apply?

DStatAnalyst:
The game is getting more interesting. For Obaseki to win on another platform, he will need the security apparatus to be on his side on election day. If you are wondering why I mentioned security apparatus, just know that except you are strong like Wike, this is how elections are won and lost in Nigeria now. The question is if the Presidency will be willing to allow Obaseki use this security advantage on election day against their own APC. Grab your popcorn people

We cann't really assess Wike's strength, Na only noise and gutter talk. In 2015, it was federal might of Jonathan, the returning officer refused to pronounce the doctored collated results.
In 2019, Tonye and Abe's wahala prevented APC of Amaechi to field a candidate. Ize-Iyamu, Oshiomhole and liberated youth of Edo State will easily run down obaseki and whoever.

Dem no dey teach Dem smartness for UI ni? How u go go visit Wike, a very gutter opposition governor before meeting your number one party leader and president?

NaMe4:
This looks like an old pic na

with Coro gears?

Shameful and irresponsible comment, but the same his principal came to prostrate and plead in same Lagos. Obaseki would have been a good governor, these are the set of arrogant and boastful for nothing that misled him

leokid866:
And you think they will do that....you know what go meet the military and ginger them, just when another abacha want to start slapping all fathers make sure you push yourso to the front.

Abdulsalam returned the country to democracy in less than a year he became military head of state. Nothing to motivate them to stay in power any longer. If they are coming, they are coming for the purpose of convening national soverign conference, they could stay for the duration of the conference. Military took over power in Zimbabwe 2 years ago to flush out Mugabe and they didn't stay there forever.

leokid866:
Because the last time the military took over the country that went well.

They are the only one that have the competence, confidence and boldness to organise sovereign national conference

Trailblazer1:
Game over


It's a palace coup against Obaseki by the APC national hierarchy


Gather here if you support Obaseki to fight back with all his might like a man rather than chicken out like one coward from Epe

I just want this new precedence of godfatherism to end in our polity from Edo to Lagos

stop talking like a frustrated human being, so in your life you don't see yourself as somebody that can be called a godfather to someone? Obaseki needs to work on his attitude, no wonder he couldn't pass ordinary WAEC.

This attitude and approach is very wrong, it clearly shows Atiku is not a statement. Why looking for anyhow man that can stand and win election for your party. Military should just take over this country and do the needful by calling sovereign conference. All states created after 1960 should be cancelled

Obaseki messed up big time, reasonable people that are not biased kept telling him long time ago to make peace with his party leadership, but arrogance will not allow him, he kept boasting and taking and instructions from his abusive advisers and followers.
Nigeria governorship position is sweet and powerful, u have to manage it with wisdom. Fashola had same issue, but he used uncommon wisdom rather than abusing or unnecessarily confrontational with party elders.

awgumayor:
Yoruba knows the deep rivalries among them, the deep hatred among them, the deep division among them, but they will be the first to shout " Igbos don't love themselves"! Yet those ( Igbos) who hate themselves have been agitating to leave Nigeria, while those who love themselves, who are more united than anyone are afraid to stand on their own. Even the northerners people call parasites are even ready for the breakup. I can't imagine the kind of wailing that will be in South West when Nigeria finally come to an end.

I don't know what you are talking about this man.... Over

awgumayor:
You want to tell me that a Northerner knows more than professor Ishaq Muric Akintola. A Yoruba professor for that matter.

I don't know any professor Ishaq Akintola probably he's not a competent real professor or a mere
irrelevant attention seeker

awgumayor:
"Yoruba is the only homogeneous tribe and can form a perfect nation.." in your dream. "Next, the various tribal groups, principalities and commenters will suddenly wake up from their slumber and revive the old bitter rivalries. Will the Egba summit to Ijebu?, will the Modekekes summit to the Ifes? What of the Ijesha? Will they stand akimbo while Iwo and Ede go away with all the milk and honey from the phantom republic? It will be a den of jealous. Rancorous and disunited neighbors". By prof Akintola. www.inform.ng/post muric faults amotekun... it's a ploy for secession.
Who told you Igbo nation is not sustainable and how can 50 million people play second fiddle to 20 million people, unless you want to deny some Igbos their roots. Great Igbo race doesn't need anybody to like or dislike them, they are too big enough to be an independent country. Your divide and rule tactics since 1970 is no longer working you should pay more attention to what professor ( muric) Akintola said.

These people, you always talk rawbish and ignorantly complain on rawbish. Yoruba tribe/nation is homogeneous as narrated by even an objective northerner. Egbas, ijebus, ijeshas, oyos etc you guys are twisting are merely only different by their native dialects, their identity is the same

duro4chang:
He will join PDP

I think they have fact they will use against him even if he won the governorship on a different platform. If I were him, I will loot and loot and loot and checkout like madueke at the completion of the term in office

LabDNA:
If you are so homogenous as you love to claim why have yoruba muslims sworn never to see oduduwa nation rise?
Ishaq Akintola have told everyone that yoruba muslims stand against oduduwa independence. Your so called homogeneity is a farce and a fallacy.

You guys will butcher yourself over hijabian issues like you are doing in oshogbo and another emirate might even spring up in oduduwa republic as the yoruba muslims stand against yoruba christians.

Truth is bitter.

What is Christianity and Islamic when talking about identity of people. Those are imported religions. If we had gotten it right as a true nation, certainly that Ishaq Akintola you just mentioned won't be involved in frustrated activity he's always spearheading.

SLAP44:
That's why the writer is advocating for the breakup of Nigeria.

Yes, any objective person will push for the breakup of Nigeria. There is no how we can feel the impact of any government equally with the current forced architecture.

LabDNA:
Common sense is subtly prevailing at last.

I expect some afonja brownies to call this hausa muslim man an IPOB. It is not beyond them to be incredibly stupid nine out ten times.

Your problem is reading and understanding the content. You saw repeatedly in the write-up that Yorubas is the only homogeneous tribe and would form a perfect nation they have been agitating for. If not the amalgamation and bad belle politics masterminded by ibos with connivance with some power brokers from the north to reduce the strength and importance of Yorubas, do you think Edo and Delta would have been carved out as mid-western from Western state: in all honesty, there are substantial yorubas in Edo, Delta, Kogi and Kwara. Ibo nation is not sustainable unless you play second fiddle to the Niger Delta people who are nowadays wiser and more brutal. They don't also like or can tolerate you.

Were your windows wound down?

it doesn't matter. Facemask is meant for public places or where people are congregating

Sunofgod:
Oba of no mans land.....congrats on nothing.

if only you are a man of substance in Lagos living on Victoria Island axis, that king can unilaterally send you back to your village without options of pleading through anyone or litigation. His decision is final.

XXLMANDIGO:
I like Obaseki. He is not going down like a Ambode, a weakling...

stop being always rude, ambode fought till the last. The end justifies the means.

NaijaRoyalty:
Whoever that suggested castration for a rape case is mad .

I heard a woman threatening her Ex Lover some days back that "I go show you Wetin I take be woman." because he dumped her for another girl .

Such woman with a mindset as that could falsely accuse the guy of rape just to punish him .

You are not getting it.
If convicted not just mere accused of it ..

SpecialAdviser:
It really surprises me how difficult it is for most of our leaders to get certificate. Anyway, that is if its true.

There is a reason people say Edo is not Lagos. Let me make it clear a bit. Obaseki has put up a strong fight it doesn't matter if he loses out.

What is more important is to fight like a man. After all politics is generally a game of win or lose. The way Ambode chickened out easily in Lagos portrays a man who lack balls in between his legs. god fathers in politics are set of people without any remedy or solution.

If you are loyal to them, you are in trouble, if not loyal, you are in trouble. The best way around them is to confront your fears and wait for whatever outcome. This is exactly what Obaseki is doing. Ambode was very loyal to Tinubu to the core, what happened to him?

All god fathers fight for their pockets and their fame and not for the masses. Look at how Ambode phased out despite all his good works in Lagos state. Aside his nonsense landscape project which left many places dirty, the guy did his best and you would wonder why he was pushed out despite his loyalty.

The so called god fathers are former governors. And you are the present governor, so why become so afraid of them? is it not ridiculous that a man Adams Oshiomole despised so much in the last election has now become his best bride? Where then is the philosophy, where is the ideology? No interest of the people served. Despite how much I didn't like Chimaroke, his fight with Jim Nwobodo made me like him a bit.

Political god fathers are common criminals that should be stoned. Obaseki have tried to put up a fight like a man even though I don't know much of him in delivering good governance.

You are just too poor in accessing situations, you are talking as if ambode didn't throw a punch at all. People should respect and always show courtesy to people that have helped them one way or the other. Why is obaseki running and pleading for help to people he believes can prevail over the APC national chairman now at the last minute? You just talked about chimeroke and nwobodo frusty relationship, ordinarily thinking, you must be the insultive type, you need to work on your temper.

Any of this "yeyerity" that has #rape attached to his name should not be made ambassador of any product

Ambode was a colossal waste.
He was too desperate to become a billionaire overnight by outrigthly changing almost all the agencies that have been in existence before becoming Lagos governor.

nairavsdollars:
I see desperation on Ize-Iyamu's part. But Obaseki really mess up

it's obaseki that is desperate here. The way politics is run without standard in Nigeria is just a confirmation that largely we are the most indisciplined Human beings on earth, and this is why we are finding it difficult to grow and develop even when compared with smaller nations in Africa

new2012:
I don't think he really messed up. I just think the country is completely messed up.

U must belong to the cabal, pay homage, screw ur citizen to lead.. If u leave d rank, they'll haunt you. That's messed up!

is it a must to do 8 years as a governor. We must face the reality, if he's good and his people want him so be it, but not imposing himself to stand for 2nd term

logon599:
If George Floyd was white and the cop who killed him was black, I wonder the kind of reaction this would've been generating. Just me and my thoughts

Illiterate, pls read, read and read with understanding the point everyone including Obama and few knowledgeable whites are driving at.
