[size=14pt]Fellow Nairalanders,

I think it is time we start telling ourselves the truth. The above post is true and nothing but the truth. Tinubu is a man I respect alot and he his a man of courage and highly intelligent. At point in time in his political journey, he missed it. Power is really intusticating him now. We all know how he has been making governance difficult for Fashola via "Ikuforiji and True face of Lagos". I am not a politician but I am abrest of what is going on around me politically and otherwise.

I have never seen a winning team changed. Why on earth will the party leaders opted for Adefulure to deputize BRF instead of the popular demand Mrs Sarah Sosan? We all know that due to the popularity of BRF, Tinubu could not subtitute him. We all heard about the level of imposition that welcomed the ACN primaries both at the state and federal house of assemblies.

Something is going on for your information, Lagosians are planing to surprise Tinubu, by VOTING for BRF as the Governor and other credible leaders under the platform of other parties apart from ACN. Can the supporter of Tinubu kindly explain us the polical antecedent of Remi Tinubu which qualifies her as the Senatorial flag bearer of ACN in the Lagos Central District? We all know he owns LCC and the anti-developmental project of Lekki-Epe Toll gate. 3 tolls in less than 15km. Lagosians are not daft.

I am not against his person but I am against his power drunken attitude? Why on earth should BRF Governor of Lagos State, will not have the power to choose his commissioners? Tinubu said so last week that BFF does not have anything to do with the appointment of Commissioners.
Do you still want Lagosian to sit down and look at the way and manner Tinubu has been robbing us blind? One thing is sure, we electorate are gradually wrestling our right from the dictators like Tinubu, who at the April pool, does not have more than one vote.

Time will surely tell, Tinubu will be disgraced. Mark my words.

You can call me names but this is a gospel truth.[/size]

Kobojunkie:
uum . . , [s]Jonathan appointed and retains him and the many other touts in office[/s]. What do you mean he is there to sabotage Jonathan's chances? The man made clear his stance and now retracts it probably after realizing his team may loose votes if people were informed of the true intentions of the gang before the elections have been won, and you are willing to pretend it was all a mere gaffe? What is this now? Gaffe #1021?

ok i understand, jonathan has a high chance of winning but i would not take out BB yet.

[size=14pt]Babangida’s men defect to CPC[/size] .

Some supporters of former military president, Gen Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (rtd), have defected to the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC).

At a rally at the Murtala Square, yesterday, in Kaduna, the supporters, under the aegis of IBB Support Group, declared their support for the CPC’s presidential candidate, Gen Muhammadu Buhari.

The group said since Babangida was no longer contesting, they were constrained to switch their support to Buhari, being their kinsman.

The group’s leader, Alh. Kasim Ibrahim Dodo, described Buhari as the only credible candidate that can rescue Nigeria from its present economic and social predicament.

He urged Nigerians to vote for Buhari during the presidential election, because only he has the political will to move the nation forward.

Dodo said: “Considering the fact that our trusted candidate in the person of Gen. Ibrahim Babangida is no longer in the race, we have resolved to support Gen Mohammadu Buhari in the April Presidential elections. The group believes that Buhari is the only credible, honest and patriotic candidate that can transform Nigeria by tackling the myriad of problems that have not-so-smart the development of the country.

“The decision to support Buhari was taken after a wide range of consultations with Babangida and other stakeholders in the IBB campaign organization. It was unanimously resolved that we should convene this rally and publicly declare our support for Gen. Buhari. We, therefore, call on other Nigerians to support Buhari in order to salvage the nation.”

I beg to disagree,the old order is the indolence of the Nigerian electorates(and just like in the middle east).The conspiracy of silence by the governed to rather than ask question would keep quiet.The lack of will by the marginised majority to build,nurture and sustain a credible platform to respond to the cheating acts of the leaders.Imagine how long it took a simple freedom of information bill to be passed in Nigeria!It took the sustained campaign by a few members of the society to insist for the following
1.Electoral review.
2.Opening of the political space which compelled INEC allow more political party registration.
3.Bank reforms and transparency in the capital markets.
4.Inclusive citizen participation in budgeting.
5.Judicial challenge to obnoxious colonial laws like Public order Act,
6.Revival of the coroners inquest in questionable deaths etc.
7.Deregulation/privatisation in important sectors of the telecommnunications,power,tertiary education etc.
8 Sustained call for state police and review of appointments that are exclusive preserve of some of the chief beneficiary of the old-order.
9.Sustained war against corruption and social injustice
And the list goes on,
Labelling the order as one zone against the other is an escapist approach.The Nigerian elite come a long way,they dont know zones or language barriers.The common language is FILTHY LUCRE stolen from our common patrimony!the few concession so far achieved come from more awareness and creating more awareness would acheive even more returns.The courage of the judge that sent a Bode george to prison and a priest who rebuked him openly,a vociferous public outrage against aondoakaa,ibb,ibori,cecilia ibru, etc paid off after all.The poor guys that stood against ballot snatching during the last election and the political leaders like Tinubu who insisted to use the instrumentality of the law to achieve their political objective represent the new order.
My friends,we are the new order!The innocous facebook network brought down almighty govts in egypt and Tunisia.Forced arab dictators to yield more grounds to the led and initiate political reforms otherwise thought impossible and we are here talking celestial political calculus that had been bandied for years to keep us in perpetual fear.The ultimate winner is the Nigerian on the street not the proclivities of a few to invent propaganda voting blogs,demonise tinubu or prepare us psychologically for a pre-determined outcome.Right now.their cookies are crumbling!

At BEAF "Say What?"

volasunkan:
Mr Beaf again!You are just too much!I am sure your physical look will never betray your controversy-prone vitriol!(something tells me you are 1 fine handsome green snake-under-a-green grass-dude(lol).You are the most consistent enfant terrible of nairaland and with a little tone to your response,you will win more people to your misunderstood activism.I hail oh!
Now at least I know you are from the ND,we both love ND,it is only an enemy of ND that can wish a GADAFI to be a NIGER-DELTAN,Gadaffi that called his people cockroaches and rats!Imagine going to seek a bride anywhere and your name is GADAFFI or you are from Libya,they will use insecticide on the person!
As an intelligent strategist,would you ever want to lead a place like Niger-delta to war?Well,I wont.The best that can be done is guerilla tactics,come to the mainland,sabotage and flee to the creeks!Now in mass military campaign,would you ship the whole people with babies,pregnant women and the aged to the creeks.The collosal logistics and the human capital it will require would make it less attractive,particularly when the gej story is a glorious story of the ND that would be told kids yet unborn and not kids in the CREEKS.
On Tinubu,the last time I checked,he is older that i am,In yorubaland,you dont call someone older than you by his name,let alone tell him to SHARRAP.So pardon me as I wont be doing that.Tinubu gave gej what he asked for.methinks,gej wasnt fair to tinubu and the yoruba leaders,Tinubu is clearly too intelligent to want to sacrifice the love he has for the ND for gej.Remeber,he was the only governor that never abandoned the fight against resource control.He sustained the sympathy of the lagos press for the struggle for resource control and even rallied southern governers to have a platform like the northern governors.Tinubu knew most ND didnt approve of that ill-fated remark by gej.At least Cheif Clark didnt complain,IYC didnt,MEND didnt.so what is the basis of your accusation of tinubu as insulting ND.Pls,remember GOD,dont sow to the wind.
Now,on your pet project gej-sambo 2011,I would rather you change strategy.Truthfully,your passion for gej almost had me convinced but ,just like most NLders,you are embarrassing the president(apology to ima Niboro who told Aba-aji to shut up and stop embarrassing gej).You show little restraint at any opposing view and rather than get more sympathy for gej,sadly,you are not helping.If political power would go back to SS,dont you think you need people's votes and their affection.

the South West. South West is too educated and civilized to be left in the hands of rascals
