It will take a while before i consider voting in Nigeria elections again.

The malpractice is too obvious.

FriendNG:
Before the election that was the mantra. Others claim it's 50 - 50 Muslim to Christian population. And as such Elrufai will lose the election by using a Muslim deputy.

Here we are Today. How market? Even those Muslim who intended to vote for PDP decided to vote for APC because CAN, Churches have made it a religious affairs.

Just like how Buhari requires no Igbo votes to win an election, now L rufai has done the same to southern kaduna.

Lesson learned: We don't win by hatred and propaganda but rather by issue based campaign.

You see how primitive you are?

CAN made it a religious affair but elrufai to you, didn't.

These things come around.

it will happen the other way around. Just a matter of time.

That's why there are rules in games.

Chikpat:
Forget hyping, media propanganda and razzmatazz. Buhari is better than Atiku

How?

That's the truth.. I, my neighbours and most of my colleagues decided not to bother voting here in Lagos.


The news correspondent of Nigeria info reported it live on air. Some who managed to go out returned home from 10.30am when election materials were not available at polling stations.

Ad-hoc staff where protesting not being paid in various locations as at 11:30am


Abeggyyy.... We are no longer interested.

No matter what anyone says... Many Nigerians were disappointed with the presidential poll results

I think Okowa should run his 8 years. Let's stop being selfish abeg.

Let's stop this bad blood

Lagos, one of Africa’s fastest growing cities, has, no doubt, had its own fair share of the pros and cons of governance and administration characteristic of a cosmopolitan state as ours. To this extent, it behoves all Lagosians to, at this moment, to make the best use of our index fingers by cleverly queueing behind the pair that will advance our Lagos to a greener pasture, say to Eldorado, if you like.
As we go to the polls for the governorship election in Lagos, come March 9, having heard them talk and act, I can confirm and tell for free that the Sanwo-Olu/Hamzat ticket is the very best for Lagos. I don’t know of any pair else who has shown so much readiness in taking up the daunting task ahead, while engaging all sectors on blueprints for development. The duo of Sanwo-Olu and Hamzat are super-intelligent, youthful, resourceful and experienced.
Having unveiled their manifesto, tagged Project THEME, which they fondly tagged “The Five Pillars of Development”, which will focus on traffic and transportation, health and the environment, education and technology, making Lagos a 21st century economy, as well as entertainment and tourism, one cannot but agree beyond every doubt that this team is gallantly posed for engendering a smarter and better Lagos for all.
Scrolling through his curriculum vitae, Babajide Olusola Sanwoolu, an astute banker and technocrat of repute, has served Lagos in many capacities and contributed to a greater Lagos, in no small measure, as commissioner and head of a major public parastatal in the state.
The 53-year old Sanwo-Olu is a graduate of the University of Lagos, the London Business School, Lagos Business School and the John F. Kennedy School of Government. He was the Managing Director/CEO of Lagos State Property Development Commission (LSPDC).
He is also a Fellow of the Nigeria Institute of Training and Development (NITAD) and an associate member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management (CIPM).
Sanwo-Olu has plied his banking trade with former Lead Merchant Bank between 1994-1997, where he served as treasurer, before he moved to the United Bank for Africa as Head, Foreign Money Market. He later proceeded to First Inland Bank, Plc (now First City Monument Bank) as a Deputy General Manager and Divisional Head. He was the Chairman of Baywatch Group Limited and First Class Group Limited and a board member of the Department for International Development (DFID/DEEPEN) Fund and Audit Committee of Caverton Offshore Services Group, Plc.
In 2003, he was appointed a Special Adviser on Corporate Matters to the then Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Femi Pedro. He later became the acting Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, before being appointed as the Commissioner for Commerce and Industry by the then Governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In 2007, Sanwo-Olu was appointed Commissioner for Establishments, Training and Pensions by Governor Babatunde Fashola. In 2016, the resourceful and efficacious technocrat was then appointed as the Managing Director/CEO of the Lagos State Development and Property Corporation (LSDPC) by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.
Some of his notable public sector achievements include the supervision of the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) privatisation projects. He set up and was the Pioneer Board Chairman of Lagos Security Trust Fund. The LAGBUS System and the Control & Command Centre in Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos, were subsequently established under his directives.
Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, a brilliant engineer has been in the picture for years too, having served as Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure in the state and later appointed as the Commissioner for Science & Technology.
Hamzat, a 54-year old graduate of the University of Ibadan with a degree in Agricultural Engineering, an MSc. in Crop Processing Engineering and a Ph.D. in System Process Engineering, has over twenty years of work experience in several organisations, including the Columbia University, Merrill Lynch Inc, Morgan Stanley and Oando Plc, the City of New York, RTP Consulting Services.
While he held sway as Commissioner for Science and Technology, Hamzat introduced and enforced the application of modern technology in the state’s ministries, thereby changing the face of data and record keeping in the state. His innovation was also applicable for eliminating the anomaly of ghost workers within the civil service, while ensuring the completion of several infrastructural projects for the mega city of Lagos. In 2013, Hamzat emerged the winner of the fifth edition of the Lagos State Man of the Year Awards.
If expertise, competence, performance and experience are still the hallmarks of good governance and administration, then, assuredly, Lagos is safe in the hands of these two administrators per excellence who have, in various capacities, proven their worth in both private and public fields of engagement.

Ayo Alonge writes from Lagos.

Go and sit down!!!!


You said same thing about Ambode.

And i passed alternate route yesterday.

Mcheew.

Where did he get all these monies he's spending.. Yet we are fighting corruption.

So tomorrow, you want us to take these men serious?

All these after a fraudulent election?

batstan:

Best advice, so far!
Buy C class engine with 12 plugs abi?

Bros abeg show me the way na.. One guy even say make i buy 190 sef. Say dem go love-vendor am well. But i no too sure

All these stories for an election that was obviously rigged?

We all know majority of Nigerians did not want Buhari back.

People are just saying, let peace reign.. But we know the truth.

Ask Buhari if 2011 was free and fair and see for yourself

Richdad50:
I tried to know you and why a person would jump from an Airport opening news to calling people Ipob Pigs. Thus, I entered your profile and past posts to find the kind of man you are.
Shocked at the level of hate. I kept scrolling and all I found was grave insults and vulgarity beyond all reasoning. I weak!
Why If i may ask? Why such level of annoyance. Why toll a part that reduces you to a riffraff. The likes are running for you because of bandwagon effect but for every click, they help in ripping your soul. I pray you find peace as you search your soul.

Amen..

Sometime i wondered what exactly is wrong with them.

Sugar no dey dia mouth after all.

No big deal with kisses

Well, ndi igbo have been warned

How much did they pay for the order or court

Greenarrow01:
I just dont understand,, is Jimi Agbaje short on funds or just dont want to campaign, you will never see him going to markets and gathering to campaign, something he did 2015,
Also Ashiru Kudan in Kaduna state is not campaigning, the PDP guys in Ogun and Oyo are not campaigning.

The PDP guys in southeast are campaigning despite these election been almost like a walkover for them.

You won't see Agbajes twitter campaign or even on AIT
These guys are just not serious.

Where do you want him to get money

So Sanwo-olu is spending money from his savings abi it's looted money..

Just asking.. Because we're fighting corruption.

I see nothing wrong in this

SamNaijaboy:
Three reasons:
1. SW vote their conscience always. Note where the majority votes went to PDP: Oyo and Ondo. They were the ones that bore the issue of the Fulani herdsmen incursion the most. And they did not like it. Falae's farm was destroyed. Iseyin farmers displaced. And they saw inaction from Buhari over those incursions. That was a warning shot to the APC to stop the incursions into their land.

2. Some felt Buhari and APC did really badly with the economy and SW salaries and said they needed to vote him out. Someone I know in Ondo said "we made a mistake with this man, and we will vote him out. If Atiku messes up, we will vote him out as well in 4 yrs. Someday we will get it right". I expect APC to have challenges in Ondo and Oyo in gubernatorial election upcoming because the sentiments are bad with regards to the salaries plus (1) above.

3. Religious Leaders: Buhari was really de-marketed by the Christian religious rulers as some form of Islamization force. He needs to see this as a rebuke from the SW and bury the idea (and never resurrect it again) of cattle colonies for his Fulani brethren. That was seen as a way to spread Islam all over the south. Yorubas like live and let live. Don't force your lives (or cattle herders in this case) on others. Keep them in the North where they belong. Why all the movement by the way? Haven't they heard of irrigated ranches? The Northern governors can do that easily to keep them in the North. The Christians in the NC's cries resonated in the SW as well.
The religion bit was why Sanwoolu was chosen instead of Hamzat to replace Ambode, another Christian. Normally the Yoruba don't care. However Buhari is making the APC appear too focused on Islam and the leaders in the SW are quick to make sure that is not seen to be true in the SW.

But Buhari won.. So where do we situate all these

andico34:
Attesting to the statements made by journalists on the TVC few days ago.....i currently believe it is now mathematically impossible for buhari to win.....from the results released thus far and the projections......here is an unbiased view.....i used the differences or margins between the two major contenders to arrive at this conclusion......as follows

How does the margin play out.

GloShare:
Truth is, the numbers to help Akpabio win overshoots the voting population.

Akpabio wrote results without considering the number of PVCs collected in his region. This is why the results have not been approved.

Mr. Igini told us on channels TV that result from the card reader will be transmitted to INEC server from the polling units.


What has changed?


Most of the results no longer add up at collating centers.

daddytime:
Come closer. ...bring your ear....listen....

Ehen.....

Just go find Saraki, Dino, Atiku and all the other guys angry and ganging up against Buhari...kneel down and beg them to be truthful to you or else you'd kill yourself before them and your blood will be on their heads...

Then ask them this question....


Werin Buhari do una?

Don't let them give you bullshits about the economy or fulani herdsmen ooo

Thank you...

I have no business with the names you mentioned.

I and many people around me have assessed the government and see no reason why they should return.

I live in one of the most enlightened local government area in Lagos and results from polling units reflected what most of us have been saying.. The VP and sanwoolu are there. They saw it for themselves.

More people, without sentiment, want Buhari out.

This is a fact.

Just look at the APC response... What APC have been doing since yesterday, is plotting how to change figures between polling units and collation centers and submitting fraudulently tumb printed ballot papers.


What a shame. If indeed results from polling units are reflecting in most final figures, i don't think l will see much post from APC supporters online

daddytime:
All these political hanger-ons and AGIPs whose only job and source of a livelihood is politics and how to corner power to enable themselves unfettered access with their sticky thieving fingers to our national cookie jars won't stop at anything to grab power..ah ah

So so complain and we no go gree..kilodeeee

This same attitude they are presently displaying was exactly why GEJ went behind them to call, congratulate and conceded defeat to Bubu. I see the same thing happening this time around.

Atiku will concede, go back to making money at his business while you career political thieves and thugs will lament until 2023 and keep up with the sorry vicious cycle.

Hunger go wound of una...

Rogues...

In your heart, you truly think Nigerians didn't want to change this Buhari's government?


We know.. If you check analysis in most places you'd know the truth.

It should also worry you that the inec collation server in which results from polling units was shutdown. That should have been the easiest way to get such statistics. Unfortunately, in Nigeria, it's about rigging and falsifying results.

Ask yakubu, why INEC server was shot down. Does he want to announce doctored results?

Is INEC server shutdown?

How come.. INEC agreed that results from polling units must be transmitted to the server so we have correct results.

INEC must clarify this with evidence.

The INEC chairman must answer this question now

You mean durotoye didn't win his PU?

luvmijeje:
Enough! Please and please stop making this election about you guys. As una plenty, Northerners are still much than you guys in Lagos. If PDP wins, it is not because of you guys. It's because Tinubu miscalculated the independence of the Yoruba.

Please and please hide your boasting till the gubernatorial election. Don't make it about tribe. If you do, APC will win the election with a landslide. Don't score an own goal for PDP. Keep low.

I agree.. I've also cautoned the yorubas not to ethnicize this election. Let's be mature.

The advocate of shoot on sight, are no longer talking... We all know that the electoral fraud in Lagos is all done by the APC.

All APC supporters should obey this.

There's no basis for re-electing Buhari. Not even the Osinbajo ethnic sentiment.
