Ajimobi is an average performer, and the op is spot on about the type of people who voted him in, luckily for Ajimobi, Oyo state also has lots of middle class relatively than a place like ekiti state, the assessment of good governance by these set of people are more holistic and long term effect in nature, while the low income earners want a short term or instant gratification and cant really blend with the fast need for a road expansion project, when such money can be channeled to stomach infrastructure projects, the middle class identifies with such projects and appreciates it. If Ekiti state had a percentage rate of middle class voters Oyo state had, Fayemi would still have been governor.

The choice of picking from the top 5 bunch was easy, IMO, i ranked like this 1.seyi makinde 2. Ajimobi 3. Ladoja 4. Folarin 5. Akala.

Seyi makinde was an impractical candidate, the odds are stacked against him , so, it was easy to struck him out, and stick with Ajimobi .

jethro2:
The OP is right.
80% of the people are not happy with Ajimobi.
I live in Oyo State.
Ajimobi is a paparazzi government.
But Akala, Ladoja, Teslim and Makinde selfish interest cost the state another 4year of hardship.
They split the parties into groups
The masses are feeling the brunts of Ajimobi
Salaries are owned.
Pension are not paid
Workers are on temporary appointment
He employed them some month prior to election.
I feel the pain of my people
Poverty is at the highest level.
Ajimobi is for the rich
I am not an indigene and i dont work for the government.
But Oyo people are suffering.
Please and please dont quote me for ezpressing myself
I wouldnt have written but most people felt the OP is lying
Primary school children stay under the tree as classroom
Its really sad
Most Oyo people are not too literate so could not be online
Oyo State is suffering
At OP I salute your courage for speaking out
I pray God will send Oyo people a messiah
Your leaders are the most self centred people in Nigeria.
Oyo people are hardworking
Ajimobi did not perform.
He rode on Buharis victory
The masses are suffering

But the other contestants showed no signs they would be better, they were all familiar terrain excluding Makinde. If there are complaints of these guy about the educational sector, there is a very greater likelihood he inherited the rot from his immediate predecessor Akala, the same man contesting again

When i hear complaints about salaries and pensions unpaid, i ask if his other old horse trying to come back will do any better under the current situation, Is it the same Akala who could not pay 11,500 minimum wage to civil servants? For Goodness sake this man monthly wage bill has increased from 3billion naira monthly he inherited from Akala to 5 billion naira monthly, a whopping 2 billion naira, and the FG allocation from Abuja has dropped from roughly 4 billion naira monthly to 3 billion naira monthly, it is no brainer he will have problems paying salaries. Most of our Governors are lazy to think outside the box in increasing the IGR of the state, or do not have the political will power to do such. Akala or Ladoja would have fumbled too, trust me, it might have been worse sef.

It is Possible that majority are not happy, like i said after the primaries of the parties, Ajimobi's enemies were scatttered in 4 cardinal points, and he was going to win with simple majority. I predicted 38-40% of votes for him, and i don't think i was that much off the mark.

If the election had occured before the presidential election, Ladoja would have given him a closer fight, and who knows maybe win sef, but in this one , the margin was over 75,000. That population will fill up Abuja National stadium sitting stands, and there would be 30,000 others still left ouside.

chi4ik4:
guy inec never announce jos north & ease till tomorrow by 9am

those two LGA are APC strongholds from what i gather, and it seems the APC candidate is from Jos North sef. The chances of cancelling a 20,000 deficit is high

It is really worse for PDP than i thought. PDP will lose at least two more states next year, Ondo and Kogi .

By the end of next year, it might only be governing just 9 states out of a total of 36 states.

SaiBuharii:
What is the Hell is happening in the east/south. When dud igbos become so desperate for power? Instead of the few ones that have sense to travel back to the east and make things better, they are in Lagos dragging Lagos with yoruba people. And it makes you wonder if the hve plans for their children children to settle down in an developed igbo land. AbI why will you vote for or rig for Ochendo, why will you votr against or rig against Owelle, your only hope of becoming a president, why will a normal human being vote Wike? See our Lagos sef, wanting to force PDP on us, inspite of their failures.


It is well!

That ochendo victory surprises me, judging by the general consensus of abians and ibos online, one will doubt if he will get 20% of votes in Abia, but he was declared winner in an election, for him to be rigged at all, he must have provided a relatively fair performance, no one will dare rig a candidate with less than 20% of total votes.

it would av been great disservice to all Lagos APC if PDP had won, they had laboured hard in this past years under the PDP led fg to get results for Lagos., now ambode must now perform better than fashola, I expect that money owed the state by fg will be remitted (50billion naira), that when paid will foot half of the bill for the 4th mainland bridge. Lagos now has a better chance to be awarded a special status as the former capital, which means increased allocation. Lagos state might also get funding support for its light railway project. the 14years Lagos state development plan (2012-2025) will not be discarded, unlike if PDP had come in

This defeat for PDP is becoming too crushing for my liking , i would have hoped Ribadu won under PDP.

he decamped to PDP when he was on the verge of glory with APC.


Ribadu would have been Governor elect under APC., but.........




Defeat at the edge of breakthrough will not be ours o......

h

But, politicians can be idiots sha, could he have believed that APGA could have won in Zamfara?

May be he did that to save face of loosing in his ward.

like a 100,000 votes lead so far.

gbosaa:
You are wrong mister. You are only overcome with sentiments and emotions due to events of last few days.

The online banters have affects you enormously. Igbo votes were equally split between PDP and Apc. Igbo voters in Lagos are the very peaceful bunch. It's unfortunate that they are being confused with online Igbos. Most of them never heard of nairaland let alone have the time to exchange words.

Even Agbajes so called list wouldn't affect or sway them. I spoke with some and the only issue they have with Apc was the closures of shops and what they termed indiscriminate levies.( local govt, traditional chiefs, lagos state) and various other bribes.

I know some who wanted to vote PDP but changed their mind on Election Day. Many didn't vote though.

Like i said, you can deny for all you care, personal survey revealed it is one way for Ibos in Lagos, pdp at presidential and gubernatorial. may be 1 out of 10 think otherwise. Forget about nairaland, views and opinions from social media are not always too far from the field, at real life, it was not different, i know, i wont go into details as to why i know.

gbosaa:
So when an Igbo man wins, it means Yorubas might have contributed to the total votes that gave him the victory but when Ambode or any Yoruba politician wins, it means they would have done so exclusively by Yoruba votes

You see your life...Igbos voted massively for Apc yesterday. Hope you know that?

yes, DAT is more of the scenario, ibo's came with bloc votes to prove a worthless point, but Yoruba's in their typical liberal mindedness choose to vote for PDP, there was no bloc votes by Yoruba's in Lagos, my uncle who voted yesterday in lag cast his vote for PDP in presidential and gubernatorial. I make bold to say roughly 90% of IBO voters in Lagos went one way, the PDP way, you can deny this for all you care.

Cyborg01:
its OK but I don't like the man.He has wasted a lot of Oyo's resources.

you are funny o, you called him a miser in ur earlier post, and you also claim he has wasted lot of Oyo resources. I appreciate the fact that you stated you don't like the man, but I always advise people not to make decisions on basis of emotions, there is a greater chance of making wrong decisions when emotional decision are made.

Adegbodolu1:
My Goodness me!!!!!

Oba of Isolo still dey vex like mad say he would be represented at the HoRn Igbo man, now this. He will again be represented at the state assembly by another Igbo?

Kai shame. I hope he dies of HBP. He is one (maybe his dad) of the pioneers of mass land selling at Okota area. Using monies collected for social events here and there. They are now crying.

Awon akotileta.

Oba of Isolo is PDP. His son Agbabiaka has contested twice. Make no mistake PDP victory is not only made by Igbo kins, yorubas also voted for PDP to win.

Cyborg01:
This na propaganda o!
Ajimobi d miser neva achieve ¼ of im manifesto

I dont know about his manifesto, who knows maybe he didnt achieve up to 10% sef.

I only gave a comparative analysis of the man, and his other contestants, and trying to put things in perspective.

Ajimobi is the best governor Oyo state has had in the last 4 dispensations, what those who dislike him are looking at are his failings which every govt will have, as to Salary defaultments, it is more of a problem of his period as a result of declining allocation to states , make no mistake also his wage bill salary for civil servants has also increased drastically due to the 18,000 minimum wage and some employment of more workers. To put things in proper perspective, he inherited a monthly wage bill of less than 3 billion monthly, and it is currently close to 5 billion monthly due to the reasons i stated above, and yet allocation from FG is declining by close to 30% in the last 6 months. If an Akala or even Ladoja goes through his own scenario, it is then you will understand how well Ajimobi has managed the situation.

Ajimobi failed in the educational sector IMO he deserves a knock on his head.

But when it comes to all the current candidates contesting against him, the only person one can consider is Seyi Makinde, who looks sound and deep,but contesting on a weak platform and unknown political experience, all the others should not be considered. Ladoja is tired and weary, and i can bet his performance can not be anywhere near his administration in the last 10 years, i can barely hear him now anytime he speaks.

The moment the big guns were scattered in 4 dimension, Ajimobi chances of re election brightened, it became close to certain after the APC tsunami 2 weeks ago. Ajimobi deserves a re election, no two ways about it.

afijio accord 4590 lp 3743 apc 5087 from Channels correspondent at Oyo state collation centre just now.

10 LGAs released so far officially, APC in early lead. according to him

luvcarz:
Guys no bragging Accord has won already, anybody saying something otherwise is saying what they are thinking in there head not what our votes are showing, before i went to bed Accord was leading in 15 LGAs already no be 33 we get for oyo state won't akala get anything from ogbomoso, none of the other contestants can win dt no of LGAs again. Idera tii wolu.

Number of Local govts won can be deceiving, until we can see the margin, at the end, the overall winner might not win necessaily win the highest number of LGA. This election is amongst 3 candidates, the margin of lead really tells the story.

Till the final vote of the last lga is added, the contest will be open, but i tip Ajimobi to be reelected.

he was actually fighting for the 4th or 5th position, before the beginning of contest.

Going by the results declared so far in Taraba, Nigeria might record its first elected Female Governor

6 LGAs collated already and results out.

IKORODU LGA APC 49,901 PDP 29,604

IFAKO/IJAIYE APC 20,607 PDP 22,980

AGEGE APC 44,628 PDP 29, 803

Truckpusher:
Go and cry for your states - If your states were that viable you wouldn't be running naked like a mad person over Rivers State's elections.


Let Wike the devil eat our children and everyone of us as long as Brick house will not serve the purpose of your masters in the North and his Ali baba in Alausa.

If you ever quote me negatively ,I'll hand you over to the current Minister of the Lagoon.

Congratulations, i hope you will all digest easily in wikes belly.

applord:
So APC (reformed crimminals) is the saviour of Rivers state
Your wish for the good people of Rivers state is for jagaban and his cohorts to empty the state''s treasury

Jog on ...

Big Congratulobia with Wike as Rivers state Governor 2015-2019. . I now expect evans bipi as the new dishonorable speaker

wow, i like dat fellow, so he finally won

I want wike to win, the people must be thought a bitter lesson about not making emotional political decisions.

2015-2019, with wike as governor, we go see how far.

It means no shit, Fayose and his deputy will be impeached if the 19 lawmakers wish, they have till first week of June to get the job done. The current speaker will supervise a bye election in the state.

i expect him to win with 38-40% of votes cast today. I keep a tab on the results though

There are only 16 lga in ekiti state, but 26 state assembly constituencies. My mind tells me that APC will pick from the 26 positions .
