You clearly are too young and are a product of a lack of history classes. Awo won current Delata and Edo states. You probably don’t know edo and delta were part of the old western region and Awo,s free education and other programs in that region when he was premier. There is a reason Alfred Rewane and Alex Ibru were staunch Awo loyalists. He also did well in gongola (taraba/adamant) although he didn’t win. Gongola was the only region outside the LOOBO states (Lagos Oyo, ogun, bendel and ondo). as they used to be called then where Awo did well. By the way Awo only got about 2% in Benue…so much for your knowledge of what occurred in 1979, truth is if you actually knew anything about Nigerian politics in 1979, you would know that Tara was aligned with Shagari in NPN in 1979 under which he contested and won a senatorial seat.

As for religion, religion was not an issue in politics in the Awo era. Nobody EVER EVER talked about religion, the issues were tribe and north v south. For instance Jakande and his deputy were both Muslims, he won by 95% in Lagos, Awo and his running mate in 1979 Phillip Umeadi were both Christian’s and both southerners, A state like Oyo with many Muslims, Bola ige and his deputy S.M. Afolabi were both christians, same with Ogun and ondo. In 1983 he chose a northerner but not because of religion but for Northern penetration. Nobody talked about religion in our politics until 1999. Even when Abiola picked a Muslim in 1993 religion was never an issue.

In those those most yorubas were known by their Yoruba names, it is since 1999 that your childhood friends suddenly start bearing or adding their Muslim names when religion became part of our politics.

As for Zik’s popularity, he only won 3 states, Awo won 5. The only state Zik won outside ibo land was Plateau. If you look at the states outside 13 states outside Yoruba and ibo land in 1979, Awo beat Zik in more states than Zik beat Awo. There is a reason why it was Awo that took Shagari to court resulting in the infamous 12.2/3rds and not Zik….because Zik came 3rd…. Awo got almost twice the votes zik got.


It won’t cost you anything to verify before you post….especially if you were not a 1st hand witness to events.

trutharena:
Yes that’s why they supported Quality Azikiwe over Awolowo who had better performance for 1979 and 1983 election.

Same reason they supported quality Bashir Tofa over MKO Abiola who won the other parts of the country including the North.

That’s why they also supported Quality Ikpeazu who have turned Abia to New York. I can see Ndigbo support quality.

Solsix:
You don't know igbos well don't speak for them. Igbos supports quality respective of tribe or religion.

Jagaban2012:

Thank God Oshibajo didn't come out...who want to vote

tesppidd:
Stop being silly.

Amaechi has never been an ass kisser busy body like Wike.

It was clear to Amaechi from the onset that Tinubu wanted to work with a willing Wike who is the governor.

So what did you expect Amaechi to do? Continue gumming Tinubu and force himself on him?

Tinubu and his men in the same APC as Amaechi continued trooping to Portharcourt to see Wike and never saw Amaechi.
I guess some of them where jealous of how Buhari loved Amaechi over 8 years.

Amaechi basically stayed on his lane.
This shows character and principle.

LUGBE:
This pretender should shut it.

She is yet to comment on the video of selective evacuation going on in sudan.

Now want to play eye service on Ekwereumadus case,

Rokiat:
Are you that easily influenced by what other people think and their opinions?

boxypane:
Please gather, Daddy don throw ANOTHER BANGER!!!

Speaking further, the LP standard-bearer stressed that he was never a religious bigot, adding that no non-muslim governor has ever sent more people to Mecca than he did as a governor.

Why partisan Arise TV no play the call record give am again?
What he explained is contrary to what he said on phone.

Obi can lie

CBR100:

donself9:
With the emergences of Obedients in our public domain, the govt and reputable media have a huge task at sensitizing the public and being proactive

Already there is whatapp broadcast going on that Lagos state govt is demonlishing igbos houses in Ajao axis becos they didnt vote sanwo olu, ... the pathetic losers are desperate to throw the country upside down at all cost with fake news and playing the victim card

Despite voting for Apc ikeja police traffic catch me last week for jumping traffic light, if i was igbo maybe i would have seen it the other way

FunkyJustice:
Does Emilokan know the meaning of GDP?

We are finished in this country!!!

Ibrahimcoomasie:
We may all not like Reno, but alot of times, he is always bang on with his analysis. This guy is a gem. Only problem is that he belongs to a foolish party.

Raskimonojendor:
Wise men.

Segzy19:
Only stupid and foolish persons will believe such lies... They will always want to play victim in any given situation just to whip up unnecessary sentiments and emotions...
They make so much noise but if you listen carefully to their noise you will always find emptiness...

They keep shouting that many of their people were killed in Lagos during the last election. Yet if you ask them to provide picture, video evidence or name of one of their persons that was killed, they will go mute or change topic.... It's all useless noise

flokii:
It's a very bad attribute those folks have.. politics of bitterness and divisiveness.

They are fond of singling out Yorubas for attacks and expect the people from ethnic groups of those they are attacking to sit back and watch. No be their fault sha but the akotiletas like Marcaroni,Falz and likes giving them confidence.

richie240:
Reno doesn't understand d 4_1_1.
Onyema is igbo and abike is not.
If d tables were turned and Abike was the foreign minister and onyema was in Abike's current position, they will still blame Abike and exonorate Onyema

JealousCobra:
We are still seeing building of brigdes and flyovers in this generation as an achievements from the crook government 😎 gullible Nigerians!


Then why are they voted for as the leaders.

Thekaghan:
Who is encouraging this man? I guess he wants to stay relevant.

SangoOlukosoOba:
Simple logic, they can’t comprehend.

Like Tinubu kidnapped all their ables politicians. Always quick to point fingers and shift blame.

Same way they will be accusing Dangote, as if he tied their destiny to a tree.

Shevchenkko:
Tinubu is wasting his time

LegendHero:
Ohaneze group is a conglomerate of fools.

Let’s even say Tinubu intends to support them. This same people never cared to visit Asiwaju to solicit his support, never bothered to court him, never bother to form alliance with him.

What they did is continue to send degenerates to abuse, hate, curse, and antagonize the man and yet turn out to come and ask the person to cede his lifelong dream to them by saying it’s their turn.

Is this not a mental problem?

Legitisreal:
Please give us our stolen mad date

Na beg we dey

Irapaji jokers

001Lagos:
Not true , Tinubu just like Osama bin laden and Shekau made the list because of his past drug case in the united states

001Lagos:
Chimamanda Adichie made the Times 100 most influential list long before tinubu dreamt of it .

Adichie made the Times List in 2015 and we didn't make noise about it .

Bola Tinubu managed to make the list because he was selected to be president of Nigeria and we no hear word again 😂😂😂

Ogiame:
stop insulting your Dad please.🥺

Shattuck:
building your party that is a personal stuff, becoming a president that is a people stuff, we all know his political story, the presidency is not an entitlement to any politician who has built a party, neither is it an entitlement to the oldest politician in the room, it is a people's trust, Aisha tweet does not justify anything.
