That statement by Oshiomole was really condescending to say the least, just to prove his loyalty.
Meaning that it was more of a master slave relationship and not about members of the party who cut across various divides.
Buhari can nominate you as a party Chairman, but after your successful election you become a leader of all members of the party and not a servant of Buhari.
This is total Sychophancy from the IDP Comrade.

He spoke about loyalty to Buhari in that press conference so much and severally as if someone had a gun to his head from behind the scenes or perhaps EFCC has shown him his case file

Philip Shaibu can match Oshiomole Thug for Thug in Edo North, that's why PDP allowed their joint ticket after initially seeking to have one of the candidates who stepped down for Obaseki as Deputy

Sammy07:
Guy it's not a pipe dream, nah real ooo.
Pipes they enter Kaduna in huge numbers

Are the pipes imported or produced in Nigeria, are jobs being created in our steel industry for such a huge project?

We saw it in Tinubu's The Nation Newspaper which was releasing statements daily from APC Acting Chairman Late Ajimobi, the only stopped and announced Ajimobi's death just immediately Buhari dissolved the NWC, that fraud is more than Hushpuppi own

Meanwhile, I can spot the bitterness in his heart

yinkus6750:
Good game plan.
Both candidates having Muslims as deputy, will go a long way in getting more support.
Pray the election should be peaceful, free and fair, while the people's vote should count.
Wish both Obaseki and Iyamu, best of luck.

Religious affiliation doesn't count much in Edo politics, it's rather more of zoning

You can't beat Peter Obi when it comes to record keeping, I recall a post here when he was accused of tax default before the 2019 elections, he personally went to the tax office with tax receipts dating back to 1980, the young lady who was in charge had to ask him for forgiveness, many of us who saw that thread marvelled at his meticulousness

Obi will give Obiano the payment receipts from those contractors as he claims, he has never been known to make statements he cannot back up with facts

Even though I don't admire Tinubu but I can't lie against him like OP has done with this clickbait headline

Looterrudeens
He wants to invest stolen Abia state funds in other states while pensioners and citizens of Abia bear the brunt of his mismanagement and lack of infrastructure.

Abdullahi Adamu farms produces Nagari Yoghurts, unfortunately most people in Nasarawa state can't afford it because 1liter is sold for N1200.
I am sure fishes from that his pond will be sold N5k for a small tilapia

BOOZELEE:
Coward u must go to court oo or forever remain silent.

I hate cowards and hypocrites with passion.He can't even stand his ground to the end.

He is denying his foot soldiers now after pushing dem from behind forming great strategist and after lying with late amosuns name.

Well I don't blame u.They just pulled ur skirt up and the whole world now know that u are a B.

Where is hope uzodinma ur front man?Hahahaha

It's not Amosun but Late Ajimobi

He got tired of releasing fake statements by late Ajimobi whom they officially announced his demise after Buhari illegally dissolved the NWC.
The king is now naked

I can't imagine that the mediocre CPC under which Buhari never won any election in 16 years has now fully taken over APC and dismantled the formidable ACN built by Tinubu and other progressives.
Many of us including Tinubu knew that Buhari can never be trusted but they just wanted power and deceived many people in the SW with media propaganda about a man who claims fake integrity.
I recall when Tinubu described Buhari as an ethnic bigot and agent of destabilization only to do a U-turn.

I am happy that at least many Igbos and South South people never fell for this Taqqiya deception of Tinubu and Buhari, they showed it in 2015 and repeated it in 2019 despite the Nepotism thrown at them by this Govt.

DelTel:
I never called Lawal (or anyone else) Tinubu's boy. It is derogatory to address VIPs as such, loyalists would be more appropriate. Oshiomhole wasn't even Tinubu's loyalist to get Ambode but Tinubu's political sagacity ensured he upstaged Ambode smartly that even Oshiomhole, Bubu and anyone capable of assisting Ambode had to back down.

Back to Lawal, didn't the party anoint him as SP in 2015, did Bubu ensure he got it. It will be foolhardy of him to forget Tinubu's effort. Same as Speaker, and alot of other people do have Respect for him.

Tinubu will never turn against Bubu a) knowing the power and authority he controls b) he must have been briefed by Bubu most likely c) the incoming NWC will still have his loyalists d) the sack of Oshiomhole is not a dent on Tinubu but on the Govs themselves since they, the Govs, brought Oshiomhole to be party chair as a compromise to oust Oyegun (whom Tinubu actually wanted out for not installing his loyalist Faleke as Kogi gov and also ensuring Aketi got APC ticket in Ondo outsmarting Tinubu). Finally, Tinubu is still the party leader.

So to say, Tinubu is in control of SW politically, his control of SW is not under any serious attack; Presidency is not prodding or supporting anyone to upstage him, at last so far (compare and contrast Ameachi who is a minister but same govt appointed his main challenger in his state - Magnus Abe NNPC board member; and didn't reappoint his loyalist Dakuku Peterside in NIMASA but also appointed someone without his knowledge in a ministry he is supposed to be supervising).

So why would Tinubu turn against a govt that he helped install, and also spreading his tentacles more (except he wants to invite his Chi to a fight .).

Stop been overtly emotional and face reality, Buhari and Elrufai want to have a new crop of power brokers in the SW, the convention will elect candidates who will pursue the aspirations of the Cabal, the caretaker committee will totally reorganise APC and start the process of turning it into CPC, never trust a Fulani in politics.
We are already seeing Akeredolu and Fayemi (Ondo & Ekiti) charting a new course in the SW with support from Abuja. Tinubu is currently left with Lagos and Osun his states of residence and origin respectively.
Meanwhile Oyo state is already PDP

DelTel:
Simply Politics at play.
The Govs fought back (same Govs were instrumental to the installation of Oshiomhole as chairman) but their influence seemingly decreased under his watch. Remember govs hitherto controlled everything from ministerial appointments to name it since 1999. The APC Govs group (and NGF by extension as recently echoed by Wike) is becoming a relic of its once powerful forum, recall their collective efforts couldn't secure Ambode 2nd-term party ticket and recently, Obaseki.

El-ruffy, Fayemi (unluckily present NGF chair taunted by both past and present govs esp PDP as toothless chair), Aketi, Bagudu and some others are scared and/or trying to grab power as the case maybe.

Historically, it is not rare for a Gov to wrestle with a godfather and party chair, but rare for the Gov not to emerge victorious.

Unfortunately for Oshiomhole, he is not 'indispensable' (like Tinubu we got away with removing a Gov) and needed to go hence both Obaseki & Oshiomhole got Pyrrhic victory for not settling their rift.

I don't think Tinubu lost anything because any new NWC will still have his men as members. The VP, SP, Speaker all can't forget Tinubu's effort to getting them to the positions they occupy, even Bubu as well.

Anywyz, #TWT (TimeWillTell).

Wishful poor analysis of the prevailing circumstance

His Nepotism is complete, now he has a Fulani as ruling party caretaker Chairman.
If only some people had listened to some people in 2015

The Captain is Fulani and that's why the AGF has been shielding, they can't sacrifice an officer from their tribe, that's what nepotism has reduced this country. Afonjas una see una handwork

BlackfireX:
Tinubu will move the senate to impeach and remove buhari, then osinbajo will take over , then by 2023 tinubu will become the president... It is a win win for SW and jagaban of African politics.

I am singing that song that says 'Dream, dream dream, dreaming'

This is why you don't trust the Fulanis in politics, the Hausas, Nupe, Gwari and Yorubas in Ilorin did and got their fingers burnt, the Igbos never did and went to war where the Fulanis had western and Arab support to execute the war in collaboration with Yorubas and some other tribes who are being slaughtered across Nigeria by Fulani herdsmen.
Junaid had pretended to be an opposition to Buhari but suddenly they are happy with the forceful takeover of APC structures by Buhari and the northern cabals.

I blame some Yorubas who never saw this coming, who thought that Buhari will keep to the unwritten agreement between Tinubu led ACN and his mediocre CPC

Bighead9:
Biafrans right now.

It's rather the Afonjarudeens that are crying bitterly right now. The North CPC which was a mediocre tribalist party has completely taken over APC structures from Tinubu and his ACN

Why are you guys deleting so many comments on FP

Afospecialk:
The children of hate have started another 5% inconsequential analysis again



Tinubu silent speaks volumes for the wise

Go and tell your 5% inconsequential people to go and learn politics so that they will not remain slave under PDP forever

Your 97% is now 5% in APC

APC Chairman North, all major appointments in Nigeria North, see wetin Afonjarudeens don cause

Fear Bendel people

All of us at and online Afonjarudeens cannot believe that our darling daddy can do this to us. We are right now in sifia shock

How can he call the NEC meeting called by the recognised Acting Chairman and attended by the President as illegal,and then he wants to go into the office after this act of official insubordination and disloyalty.
He should have stayed in his house and sent a memo to The Nation Newspaper and other Lagos Ibadan media that Ajimobi from his ventilator has cancelled the meeting

Old news, this has been in news for many days

He cautioned the Lagos APC chieftain to pay a more detailed attention and channel his energy to his primary assignment of cleaning up dirty drainages in Lagos and stop being a busybody

Chaii! Joe Yorubakwe has seen something in Lagos, Igbos dumped him and elected a new APC leader because they couldn't imagine themselves being represented by a man with the appointment as Gutter Cleaner, it's better they are represented by Chairman of Ladipo Auto spare parts dealers

Thelimitbreaker:
See wailers everywhere.... Tinubu matter no dey make them sleep... Tinubu i swear you be super star for Naija Politics

I can feel the pain in your voice from here, drink some water bro, you are gradually losing your sanity over this APC charade

All these noise from their homes won't stop the meeting, APC has been taken fully out of Tinubu, he can go back to AC, they have used and dumped him, that's how Fulanis play politics.
Giadom has been handed the keys to the secretariat and open door to the Villa as Acting Chairman with all the paraphernalia of office, the message has been passed.
All those angered by this development should rather expend energy re-strategizing.
We can't even expect 'fair' judgement in favour of Oshomole from the Supreme Court because when some people spoke against the injustice meted out to Justice Onnoghen these same people crying now called it 'Rule of Law' but now expect Justice Tanko to go against the political decisions of his principal?

Lagos Ibadan roadside media is at it again
The NEC meeting can't be stopped now and if the NWC do anyhow by spiting the president, they will be dissolved shikena

Those guys don't answer Heartbeat of the nation for nothing
