Oyo State - New governor
Lagos State - New governor
Ogun State - New governor.

Can these 3 work with Osun, Ondo & Ekiti to form a strong regional alliance to develop the SW on Education, Agriculture, Transportation & Human Capacity building without influence of godfathers?

Bakerdav:

able20:
Tribal politics is rooted in Lagos and where any opposition to apc is seen as igbo and should be crushed.
'O to ge' in kwara but not in Lagos.

forgiveness:
PDP don win. Best of luck to Seyi but Oyo should not cry if they don't receive federal support.

One of the two card readers of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at the polling unit of Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Ikoyi, Lagos State, has malfunctioned.

At the time of the report, voting had not yet commenced because the INEC officials were trying to fix the machine.

INEC had given strict instructions on the use of card readers for the governorship and state house of assembly elections.

President Muhammadu Buhari will be a major determinant in who becomes the next head of the Senate and chairman of the National Assembly, a member of the upper legislative chamber, Ovie Omo-Agege, said on Wednesday, March 6.

Omo-Agege who represents Delta Central senatorial district, said this while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Warri, Delta state. The senator said the Buhari and the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) would avoid the 2015 mistake that led to the emergence of Sen. Bukola Saraki as the president of the Senate.
‘‘Anybody who is going to be Senate president, in the 9th Senate, must be somebody who is loyal to Mr President, the party and the constitution. ‘‘The Senate president will be determined by Mr President. Mr President will indicate to us through the party who he want to work with,’’ Omo-Agege said.

He claimed he was not aware if the APC had zoned the position of the Senate president to any region of the country. "But what I can tell you is that we are going to have a Senate that will work with Mr President. "The era of allowing renegades who rode on the back of Mr President, who rode on the back of the party to go in there and trade the party’s mandate, I think that era is gone.

"I am very hopeful that this time around, Mr President will step in and decide not only the zone that will produce the Senate president and the leadership but also who should be. "We don’t want to erect another opposition leader in the Senate, as we had in the 8th Assembly. "There are a lot of us in the Senate who are returning to the next senate who fits into that position.

We are so many but any decision the president makes, we will all fall in line and abide. ”We want President Buhari to succeed and it is all in our place, some of us who are close to him, to tell him certain calls he should not make because we know ourselves in the National Assembly and we do not want a repeat of the Saraki saga as we go back to the ninth Senate." he said.

An average Hausa man will not fight for what belongs to him? I really doubt that. If it is not settled in the Court, it will be settled in the mosque and if not in the mosque, then it will be in the caucus of the Fulani elders.

Any ways, the fact remains that Hausa-fulani will teach the south how to play the game of politics this time. Obasanjo played the game well when he placed Goodluck to be the vice of late President Yaradua. This time, Tinubu successfully attached the pastor vice to President Buhari in case there is any eventuality; but the president has shown how strong he is over these few months. INEC has declared Buhari President for the second term, now the north is ready to show how skillful they are in the game of politics.

Take it or leave it, either Atiku gets his mandate at the tail end of Buhari tenure or he contests again to be rigged in and the North remains in the corridor of power.
For the south whether Yoruba or IBO getting power so soon, hmm, I doubt.
Many times I just chuckle when I hear the Yorubas and Ibos using words against each other-the game is between the North and the South not between two tribes who just want the less effective position of the Vice.

What Buhari is doing right now is to place his puppets in the oil rich states of the south for the enrichment of the north hence his interest in Lagos, Rivers, Delta, Akwaibom others will include Bayelsa. Wondering why he hardly visit other states in the south?

A pro chancellor is a ceremonial post and has no influence on how the school is run, The affairs of LAUTECH is purely on Oyo and Osun govt

If Tinubu interferes you will be the same person accusing him of interference, He allowed a free hand its also a problem

What do you want Tinubu to do? If he interferes you will shout that he is interfering and ruling from Lagos

He gave Ajimobi a free hand you are also complaining and asking what did Tinubu do?

APC’s woeful outing in Ajimobi’s expected stronghold has prompted protests from party leaders, with Bola Tinubu, the National leader, now personally overseeing the campaigns in a desperate bid to prevent a potential surrendering of the governorship to the PDP.

Abiola Ajimobi, the outgoing Governor of Oyo State, can no longer attend governorship campaign events of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, SaharaReporters understands.
Ajimobi lost his Oyo South Senatorial District bid to Dr. Kola Balogun of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who polled 105,720 votes to Ajimobi’s 92,579 votes, meanwhile the other two senatorial slots were won by the APC. To worsen matters, of the five federal constituencies in Ajimobi’s Oyo South, APC won only one, while PDP has already won three and is set to claim the fourth when the election is concluded this weekend.

APC’s woeful outing in Ajimobi’s expected stronghold has prompted protests from party leaders, with Bola Tinubu, the National leader, now personally overseeing the campaigns in a desperate bid to prevent a potential surrendering of the governorship to the PDP. And one of what Tinubu has quickly done, apart from buying off Adebayo Alao-Akala’s candidature, is to ban Ajimobi from showing up at APC governorship campaign meetings involving Bayo Adelabu, the party’s candidate.

“The belief of Tinubu and other APC leaders is that it is Ajimobi that the people are angry with — not APC — therefore he should stay away from campaign activities,” an APC source very familiar with the development told SaharaReporters.
“The fear is that Ajimobi’s appearance at Adelabu’s campaign rallies will be damaging for the party. In fact, there is a jingle of the party begging the people, explaining that Ajimobi, not the party, is the fall guy. Since the presidential and national assembly elections, Adelabu has been campaigning on his own — without the Governor’s involvement.”

In the said jingle, listened to by SaharaReporters, APC “begged” all indigenes of the state in the name of God and in the names of prominent Yoruba sons such as Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, former Governor Bisi Akande and Tinubu. The party also mentioned President Muhammadu Buhari and Adams Oshiomhole as begging the people, and specifically censured Ajimobi for his pride in disrespecting the Olubadan of Ibadan, among many other offences.
With Alao-Akala’s withdrawal for Adelabu, Tinubu has already gained inroad into Ogbomosho, where the party could not campaign ahead of the February 23 elections.

WOULDN'T YOU RATHER GO FOR ADELABU PENKELEMESI AS OYO STATE GOVERNOR!

Tintinnoty:
The bellow picture says it all.......

Produce their equal in your state........ These are men ASIWAJU UNEARTH as a manager of Lagos State. Now they lead the most critical aspects of this great nation. ASIWAJU AHMED TINUBU is the best democrat this nation has ever produced. He has killed his personal ambition to allow these men grow. His vision for mega city is what these noble men keyed into that has brought Lagos to it current position in Nigeria and Africa at large.

focus7:
This is how you make issues out of no issue.

Since you have made Tinubu your attack target please can you make reference to any comment or issue sponsored by Tinubu against the Igbos

Of all the governors that have governed Lagos state, it is in record that Tinubu was the first to begin recognizing Igbos in his government and as well giving them posts, positions and contracts, the first child one day Lagos governor initiated by Tinubu was an Igbo child and he didn't discriminate against him. Today because of Tinubu's gesture Igbos now work in Lagos states ministry and Lagos state establishments and can also hold elective positions in Lagos state.

You left issue and focused your attack on Tinubu because you Igbos has turned Tinubu to your nightmare and that makes you and whoever thinks like you a loser and a coward.

And about your taxes take this message to your other Igbo people that if they are not going to start respecting us, our leaders and our culture you will soon experience a revolution that will see you all driven out of Lagos back to your land. Shameless people boasting to make Lagos what it is and abandon their own place to dilapidation.

Jagaban...he's the semblance of Awo in astute leadership (leading this pack of heavyweights is no mean feat) and political craftiness but far below Awo in developmental strides, Foresight and planning, political philosophy and ideology, social investment and as the advocate and defender of the Yoruba nation.
