Exactly why I said the feeling is mixed. Happy and sad at the same time.

Fashola/Tambuwal 2023

Nice combo.

As if you didnt taunt and bore us to no end on this forum about how Jonathan and PDP was going to make life unbearable for the opposition

Every step APC or its members took then was clamped down upon with the use of kangaroo judgement and use of the security agencies whenever it suit Jonadumb

Don't mind the mumu. You know they say a fool at 40 is a fool forever so I think Chukwudi44 is condemned a permanent fool and mumu of the highest order.

Rawani:
Exactly.
His cluelessness exacerbated the cracks that were forming as a result of the 180 degrees he pulled on his clearly documented promise to run for a single term. I wonder how naive one can be to expect that the alliance of Amaechi, Wammakko, Aliyu et al. would not severely damage the party especially in the North. His ridicule of OBJ by empowering Kashamu and reliance on the selfish counsel of the now suddenly mute Edwin Clark were the finishing touches to the party's obituary.

Indeed.

ziccoit:
The largest party in Africa now the smallest party in a Nigeria village. Lol

A case of "how are the mighty fallen". No?

Rawani:
He entrenched, allowed, and sponsored impunity within and outside the party, his use of subtle coercion to impose himself as the party's candidate rubbed many the wrong way, but he was too blinded by ambition to notice. His reliance on convicted criminals, militants and compromised instruments of the state for electoral victory was not only irrational but hopelessly myopic. His silence endorsed the personal attacks that were characteristic of his campaign, ignoring the ill will he was generating across certain sections of the party.

His ability to destroy the hitherto largest party in Africa however was lubricated by the party's lack of ideology which led to the mass exodus of its influential members.

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan - Destroyer par excellence.

Thank you. I was waiting for the sort of response above. The worst thing GEJ did was to insist divisively and dictatorially, and in a completely Machiavellian manner, that he must be the PDP's Presidential candidate for 2015 and that no other must stand against him. He destroyed the internal peace, relative unityand amicable coexistence all Political Parties need to operate with to gain election victories. Once dictatorship begins that disenfranchise others and proscribe opposition within a Party then that Party is divided irrevocably and potentially rendered impotent.

EdCure:
Though he did it unconsciously (he is ever clueless, afterall), we should thank him for that.

It's his legacy.

Indeed. That is why I agree GEJ was "sent by God" as some claim. Sent by God to destroy the PDP .

chukwudi44:
My market is fine. You are the very one who is bitter and discredited. I can't wait for Ambode to resume so you can start taking charge of the motor park promised u and get your ugly ass off this site

Me ke? So "discredited" in your dictionary is predicting every single election win correctly? "Bitter" is getting all I wanted from the 2015 elections especially a Lagos now empowered by the centre and thus likely to move towards 100 adequate power supply in the near future? No my friend, it is you, an ethnocentric and sentimental old fool, who is bitter and discredited .

chukwudi44:
Olodo because you see free and fair elections abi? Let's see if your illiterate can sustain it

The king of olodos calling others olodo. Bitter and discredited old man, how market ?

The final lap of the race to bury the PDP. Dust to dust, ashes to ashes .............

Sweetguy25:
He destroyed PDP by allowing free and fair elections and also tolerating opposition?

Continue fooling yourself. I do not know why you supporters of GEJ are never honest people. I think all honest folks in the entire world , irrespective of political leaning, know precisely how GEJ destroyed his own Party and this has nothing to do with "tolerating" opposition or free and fair elections.

owobokiri:
Celeberating mediocrity as usual. . He surely will be missed for yelling at fellow Lagos residents to go back to their villages if they don't agree with him. . , for stewpidly involving himself/state in such petty-beer-parlour topics such as 'Lagos, A no-mans land', for stoking ethnic tension through aparthied policies such as deportation of fellow citizens of Nigeria from Lagos, for forcing toll gates on law abiding citizens over roads biult with tax payers money, for awarding some extremely over bloated contracts , in the process holding the infamous record as the governor that is biulding a kilometer of road with almost a billion naira at lekki, for the osbourn yatch scandal, for selling half of Lagos state to Tinubu, for an unfinished metroline that stands all over Lagos like a monument to kleptomania, for refusing to recognise the Freedom of information law, for being an elitist governor. . . Should I go on?

See painment and bad belle. Do you bitter people never rest? Na curse?

NaijaTalkTown:
I don't know what to write. The feeling is mixed as it dawned on me that Babatunde Raji Fashola will vacate office next month. This man served his people well and he has earned the respect of all.
On behalf of Lagosians and all Nigerians that are seeking good governance, I say #ThankYouBRF

Do not be sad. Fashola moves on to bigger and better things. A good Ministerial appointment, utilising his special talent, beckons. From then on the sky is the limit and I would not bet against Fashola becoming the President of Nigeria in future. Fashola is now a 'big boy' at the centre and in Abuja and I expect this will help Ambode and Lagos massively. My brother, this is a time to rejoice because we have gotten 'continuity' while Fashola will still be able to contribute to the development of Lagos from Abuja.

We dey laff in OBJ voice. With the guber results in today it is clear the divisive and highly self-serving Jonathan has managed to dismantle the PDP and destroy the Party totally from within. Perhaps those who say Jonathan was "sent by God" have a point after all.

So far, a clean sweep of the elections I was most interested in. I.e Presidential/VP = Buhari/Osinbajo, Lagos = Ambode, Ogun = Amosun , Oyo = Ajimobi, Imo = Okorocha, Sokoto = Tambuwal and Kaduna = El Rufai. A fantastic election for me personally . I dey laff in OBJ voice

Oyb how far? My nigga. Bro you do well. Year in and year out you were solid and stood for the right things. The kids here should learn from your example.

Katsumoto:
Chief Gbawe

How are you? Congratulations to you too on this victory. Hopefully, the General can set Nigeria on the proper path.

Oga Katsumoto it is good to hear from you. How come you left altogether? You were an inspiration to many here and the madmen, after you and others left, have taken over the asylum if you know what I mean. As for me, I am well. Probably won't be posting much any longer but it has been a pleasure knowing you and many others here for years. God bless and continue to uplift you.

God, you guys are disgusting. Is there anything you do not discriminate over? You will discriminate over ethnicity, religion, clothing, region of origin, gender, age and now weight. What is wrong with you people?

AgentMS:
There are several ethnic nations in SS and you do not have the right to speak for the whole of ND. Mind you Itshekiris, our dear cousins, are in the same ND.

We are not interested in your oil. Ondo has oil and we have reserve in Lagos and Ogun. Drink your oil and shut up. You are still living in the 19th century.

Countries have gone beyond oil -- what is the oil production capacity of China, Israel, Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Canada, New Zealand, Australia etc.

Wake up dude, the name of the game now is human capacity an not oil. Countries are specializing in IT -- Qatar, India, Tourism -- UAE, Education -- Canada, Military hardware -- Belarus, Ukraine, Israel, MEdical --- Indi etc you are still here crying over oil that a substitute is already being developed against.

Great post. To be honest some posters are so incredibly ignorant and simple-minded that one simply has to feel sorry for them.

LMAyedun:
Sai Baba but JK is Okay...

You PDP fans are pathetic. Whatever happened to the "GEJ till 2019" noise you irritatingly spammed the forum with?
I bet after today it will be "Ambode noni" . With the unprincipled and 'fairweather' leaders and followers the PDP has then the "biggest Party in Africa" is surely dead and buried.

Crueldeed:
How is voting for ones choice outsmarting others? This is democracy and people have the right to vote for anyone of there choice. So all candidates from the South should step down because GEJ want to contest? I dont understand how you guys reason sometimes. GEJ won in Ekiti and got more than 30 percent in SW yet you all are blaming the Yorubas like we have an agreement with the East or SS.

Very unreasonable people. In fact I think most of them are mentally unstable from how they talk here. Simple action of voting for who you want is now viewed as another civil war loss by some people.I really fear for the mental health of some Nairalanders because it is obvious they cannot be okay in real life with what they say here. What is shocking is that, in all their talk, they never take into consideration the fact that GEJ was a terrible leader , one of the worst so far in Nigeria's history, who deserves to be voted out on that ground alone. They just speak aberrantly and as if all of us in the South should clannishly have voted for Jonathan. If you are mad and cannot see it then you will of course expect others to join you in madness also. That is the case with the poster you quote and others like him.

Ama80:
why a u so bitterd and unbridled.ur kind shud resist any spirit of wife battering esp whn she has a contrary opinion.

If you don't know the history Nairalanders have with each other then learn to mind your own business instead of commenting on things you know zilch about to then represent one side as saints while condemning others as sinners based on your poor understanding of the back-and-forth that goes on here. Below is an example of the uncouth antics of the chap you are defending.

APC should just try to accept the thrashing they would get tomorrow in Ekiti from Fayose.

There is really no need to be lamenting now

Abeg shut up. Real people are talking and GEJ's most shameless supporter has the nerve to talk also. Who cares about your opinion?

Governor Fayose’s Impunity Rages As State Elections Approach



There are continued concerns that Governor Fayose is attempting to unlawfully manipulate this Saturday’s election in Ekiti State following the same script as he used during the presidential and 2014 gubernatorial elections of voter suppression, hiring of local thugs, and using State Security Services to give preferential access to PDP supporters.

BY SAHARA REPORTERS, NEW YORK APR 09, 2015

[img]http://saharareporters.com/sites/default/files/styles/normal_medium/public/Fayose_thuggery.jpg?itok=vN6d-so-[/img]

Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State has this week continued acting with raging impunity with his systematic attempts to deny State Assembly members’ entry to Ado-Ekiti Assembly and manipulate the outcome of the State’s elections.

This week marks the latest in a series of instances where Governor Fayose has abused his authority, and the authority of the Federal Government and military, to silence political opposition. The Ekitigate Scandal, first revealed by SaharaReporters in February, shows that Ayo Fayose did not lawfully win his gubernatorial election in 2014. With the assistance of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders Musiliu Obanikoro, Iyiola Omisore, and Jelili Adesiyan he intimidated and bribed Brigadier General Aliyu Momoh to assist their rigging plans for the Ekiti State election.

Recent attempts by Ekiti State Assembly members to begin impeachment proceedings against him for these crimes have been curbed by Governor Fayose. Sources say that All Progressives Congress (APC) Assembly members were physically blocked from gaining entry to the Ekiti State Secretariat by PDP politicians, supporters, and State Security Services mobilized by Governor Fayose.

On Tuesday April 7th military and security officials denied civil servants entry to the Secretariat as they surrounded the Assembly House with armored patrol vehicles and a tank, sources at the scene told SaharaReporters.

The following day, April 8th, saw the reemergence of the controversial Brigadier General Momoh, who had previously carried out the demands to rig Ekiti’s election for Fayose in 2014. Brig. Gen. Momoh reportedly accosted APC lawmakers en route again to the Secretariat, according to a SaharaReporter citizen journalist at the scene. This same source told SaharaReporters that Brig. Gen. Momoh blocked APC lawmakers until local thugs hired by Fayose arrived and chased the lawmakers away.

SaharaReporters also reported yesterday that several roadways in Ado-Ekiti were blocked by Fayose supporters using commandeered buses, bon fires, and other materials intended to restrict access to State lawmakers.

Ekiti saw similar tactics during the week of the presidential election, as the Ekiti State Police Command placed a moratorium on public processions and political rallies—which disproportionately affected the APC opposition. Ekiti APC members fell under attack after a victory party celebrating President-elect Buhari’s success by three Hilux vans filled with armed gunmen.

Taiwo Olatubosun, the Ekiti State APC Publicity Secretary, publically told journalists that the Hilux vans had Government House license plates and that three men in police uniforms were in the front seats. Mr. Olatubosun accused Governor Fayose and the Ekite State Police of orchestrating the attack, which saw a hail of bullets fired into the crowd of APC supporters and the destruction of property and cars.

Idowu Adelusi, Governor Fayose’s Chief Press Secretary, issued a statement to the public that it was the APC who attacked themselves intending to blame Fayose, he said “the Governor [Fayose] does not operate or have any killer gang as they had alleged, rather, it is the APC’s killer gang which was set up and funded by Fayemi’s administration.”

Tensions have risen between Governor Fayose and the predominantly APC State Assembly over the latter’s attempt to impeach Governor Fayose. SaharaReporters reported on Wednesday that the High Court of Abuja struck down the legal maneuvers by Fayose’s camp to prevent impeachment proceedings against him in Ekiti State. Governor Fayose told the media that the Ekiti State lawmakers “are the joke of the century” and that they have been abdicating their duties since last year.

There are continued concerns that Governor Fayose is attempting to unlawfully manipulate this Saturday’s election in Ekiti State following the same script as he used during the presidential and 2014 gubernatorial elections of voter suppression, hiring of local thugs, and using State Security Services to give preferential access to PDP supporters.

At present moment, the only legal repercussions Governor Fayose has faced are the attempts by APC lawmakers in Ekiti State to impeach him. No probe into his conduct during the lead-up to the presidential election has been conducted, nor has investigation or charges been brought against him—or his accomplices—for his involvement in the Ekitigate Scandal.

Akanbee2015:
God should give Ekiti judges the wisdom to act well. Amen! I don't care what happened to the then judge used by some politicians in 2006. What matters to me the most is for justice, fair justice to be delivered according to our constitution. That seven is greater than 19 is insane. That a court process was disrupted by hoodlums is a slap on our democracy, and that the sitting Governor allegedly connived with some minister of the Federal republic is a National disgrace. Those are the things, amongst other things that well meaning Nigerian pray to be corrected. Gbam!

Thank you.

Esinasinla:
They made more empty vows than this before their elimination at the presidential poll . Saturday ll b worse!

Indeed. Your head correct well well. Did FFK not even announce that PDP was "leading in 23 States"? The Oxford English dictionary should replace the word "deluded" with PDP.

SmartChoices:
Hmmm read all my posts again...meditate upon them ..my words are usually very deep....study them!

Perhaps. Yet not on this occasion. What you write below directly insinuates that Ekiti folks are a lawless people who are ready to fight for Fayose, even when he has done wrong and disrespected the rule of law we must all obey and live under, merely because they"dread what APC stand for". This is similar to the ALUU community that committed a joint lynching of some young boys giving excuses and justifications for their wrongdoing.

people are not mobilizing cos they love Fayose but because they dread what Ekiti APC stands for!
