APC has taken election monetization to another level.Money paved way for Aketi."see and buy" election.
Is this the change we voted for?

Opakan2:
Ondo people voted for Aketi not APC.. doesn't mean Ekiti people will do same

These Northern guys have shown their colours now.. ising a traitor from Edo state to perpetrate their evil

yorubas didn't vote for Buhari because he is the best, it's because GEJ was no option... doesn't mean we can't tell our left from right. Time will tell.

The only pain I have now is that some set of people decided to make fun of such serioys issue on ground to nurse GEJ's defeat.. when even the first lady is worried APC has deviated from their inital promise and plan they proposed with founding members

we all are in it together and we will see where it all ends.

people voted for money in Ondo State.Money paved way for Aketi.

They should go ahead and see the consequence(s).APC is on self destabilization mission.

DIKEnaWAR:
This truth might be very bitter to stomach, but Tinubu lost relevance the day Aketi won Ondo without his help. Aketi tried with his help in 2012 and lost. Now he has won, further buttresses the fact that Tinubu is not god and can't make anyone...not now.

Anybody aligning with Tinubu now is asking to be sidelined. Expect many defections in the south west to the APC from other parties and their loyalty to Abuja instead of Tinubu. The man is finished! His problem is that he let the praise get into his head and thought too high of himself. He was fighting so many battles and persons at the same time. They have all conspired to pull the rug from his feet and he can't rise again. One secret you people don't know is that the only thing Tinubu wishes for is to reconcile with Buhari and displace Fashola and Co. Dazoll

Bye bye to Asiwaju.

Hatred for Tinubu is beclouding many people's sense of reasoning.Buhari will not be president forever,most of the people working against Tinubu will be next to nothing (politically) after PMB's tenure.

Tinubu is a great man.

APC may not survive this self inflicted crisis, if the crisis is not properly managed,this is just too early. Voting monetization is now a legacy to be bestowed on Nigeria's nascent democracy.Mimiko started the monetization process,but APC took it to another level in Ondo State.

FRANKOKO78:
TINUBU SHOULD GO AND REST,IS NO LONGER RELEVANT AGAIN WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT POLITICS IN SOUTHWEST(YORUBAS)HE WILL SOON LOST HIS STRONGHOLD(LAGOS STATE) BY 2019 GENERAL ELECTION.

Someone that is "not relevant" is always in the news?

onatisi:
Don't mind ppl,something which is so obvious they will still be arguing about it ,as at today in naija national politics ,tinubu has been swept aside but he still retains some level of influence within some south west states,not even all.

It's just a temporary setback.
Tinubu will bounce back,the people trying to humiliate him are nothing outside corridor of power.
2019 is around the corner,the political game they are playing is just too early,misplacement of priority,they focus more on politics than governance.

Kagawa10:
Lmao! The people of Ondo state voted for money, not because of any stupid Oyegun.. Buhari spent billions on the election.

You eediots are the same clowns crying that Nigeria is in recession under Buhari who wasting money as he likes!

Money was freely given to voters ,the election was heavily monetized,it's a template they've tested and it was effective. River state residents should be expecting Buhari boys money.Election is now"see and buy", if you're contesting no need for voters' mobilization,take money to various polling stations and victory is yours.

They want to turn the Landlord to a tenant,definitely the house will be demolished.
Most of these so called 'Buhari boys' are lightweight politicians with no strong political base.Tinubu should just maintain decorum and see the end of their self destabilization game-plan.

ACCORDING TO LALONG, “WE JUST CAME BACK FROM ONDO AND WE WERE AGAIN RECRUITED YESTERDAY (WEDNESDAY) TO GO TO RIVERS AGAIN AND CONDUCT ANOTHER ELECTION. OUR OWN IS TO ASK FOR YOUR USUAL AND CONTINUED SUPPORT".
Election in Nigeria is now 'see and buy',APC's election modus operandi has been tested and it was effective. Mimiko started it in Ondo State,but it was taken to another level by APC.Governors and ministers brought money to Ondo state for the election,because of poverty in the land,people voted for what you've got to give .Money did it for the winner.
Where is the change?

This is ridiculous!Voluntary resignation from political position is alien to us in Nigeria.This is a bad precedence.

OZAOEKPE:
FAYEMI is now the JAGABAN of Southwest ...... according to modath

what is the political value of Fayemi outside corridor of power?Anybody that calls Fayemi south west political leader must be dreaming.

Tinubu cannot be disgraced, haters should be mindful of their utterances,most of the people trying to bring him down are nothing outside corridors of power .Aketi should maintain decorum and tactically choose words to be used at appropriate time ,Tinubu laid the foundation for his political breakthrough,he was imposed on ACN in 2012 by Tinubu despite the fact that Dr.Agunloye was more popular and acceptable ,he's(Aketi) now a leader he should think of how to harmonise various groups within Ondo APC.
Tinubu has sacrificed a lot as an opposition figure,when many people (Fair weather politicians)are looking for Federal government patronage,the same set of people are now controlling APC government and party's machineries.
Aketi should be careful of those 'any government in power' (AGIP) politicians in Ondo State,they misled past governments in Ondo State and they are now active members of APC,political party is not a robot,but people are the component of political party,whenever you say PDP failed,that means the people that controlled the government/party structure under PDP leadership failed.
It's worrisome to note that the same people are now in APC shouting change.

Elective position does not last forever,except the legacies .
Don't write-off anybody,life is in segments, ,it's only God that knows tomorrow.Politicians have their meeting point,no permanent friend(s) in politics.

The election was heavily monetized,it was 'see and buy',although the three leading parties paid.APC paid the highest amount and people voted for the highest amount.Mimiko brought the template during 2015 State House of Assembly election in Ondo State,he caught APC unaware,but this time around APC had more than enough money to buy votes .If any aggrieved political party is going to tribunal,that will be absolute wasting of time,the election was not rigged but money played a crucial role. People needs your money not your idea,because of hunger in our Society.
What is the future of Nigeria's Democracy?

Kathmandu:
Tinubu has lost out so kindly stop all these

TheTrueSeeker:
Why PDP lost in Ondo State...!!!

The Agents PDP submitted to INEC for the election were Agents submitted by Jimoh Ibrahim's faction and not Jegede's. Those agents worked against the PDP as pay back for Supreme Court verdict.

The Tribunal, the Appeal Court and even the Supreme Court will definitely order a rerun in Ondo State.

The election was not rigged,but money played a major role in the election,people voted according to what each party got to offer in terms of financial inducement.The three leading parties paid voters,but APC paid the highest amount.
No court case,and no any evidence that the election was rigged.

Politics is a game, It's all about interest.Don't abuse anybody on nairaland because of Buhari or Tinubu,they have their meeting point.

Mega school was a misplacement of priority,it's not sustainable.We have many public schools that needs Government attention,but they were neglected because of Mimiko's selfish interest.He destroyed many schools built by Agagu's Government because of Mega school.
Free shuttle Bus , Mother and child are good programmes that needs to be sustained.

People voted for money.Aketi paid the highest amount.

In every electoral contest,an individual must win.I wsh to congratulate our Governor-elect,Barrister Rotimi Akeredolu.
I must commend the various security agencies that participated in the Election,they performed beyond my expectations,Aketi needs our support to succeed in Ondo State.I pray that God will be with him throughout his tenure in Office.

Nigeria electoral system has been monetised, money now determines who wins an election,although Mimiko brought the template during the last State house Assembly election and it works for him.This time around it works for APC,because they paid the highest amount per voter.Mimiko is now complaining of his own political methodology .

Africonji:
Yoloba people have Afonjad Tunubu to their Fulani masters. Can I get a Sai Baba ? Tunubu is finished. His own people are already queuing up to be the first to deliver his head to Sai Bubu Yoloba and betrayal are like di.ck and puzz$y.

why is Tinubu the source of your headache?Tinubu has made a good name for himself.

All I want for my dear state is good governance.It was a good contest.But some immature people on nairaland often take political discussions personal by using abusive words.
Whoever wins needs everybody's support to succeed,I don't have any regret supporting candidate of my choice,politics is all about choice.

What's the source of this news?

GOD will punish u for what u said..Aketi spent highest amount ke....see dnt vex me more than i am vexing

This shows your level of maturity.I wish you what you wished me.

dayo23:
Three aspirants are all balance....but like i said Aketi just have this edge been an underdog and no Godfather

Aketi no God father?But he has God fathers e.g El-Rufai,Kayode Fayemi,Oyegun and other Aso Rock cabals that manipulated the primary election for him.Keep on misinforming yourself, I'm an insider.
Aketi spent the highest amount for campaign,the money came from the sky?

Aketi is a bad product,he will win two Local governments in a free and fair election.
Impunity we complaint about during PDP's era is still much in existence.
Nothing has changed.
APC =Impunity and deceit.

gebest:
this is anti party activities, tinubu must be suspended from apc

Go and suspend him,kindly name one individual that contributed to the formation of APC more than Tinubu.
APC members here in Ondo State are boasting of rigging tomorrow's election through intimidation and manipulation of result. Is this the change we voted for?
This is chain not change ,this is Kai Baba not Sai Baba .They've failed to deliver on campaign promises and they are scheming for 2019 elections.

We knew right from onset that Jimoh Ibrahim is APC's agent.He was just a pretender not a contender for Ondo State Governorship seat.
