Don’t quote me out of contest. Buhari is from Katsina state and I don’t think he decides what happens in katsina the same way Tinubu controls Lagos

Really? you must be a learner. You guys are funny so you think all Political leaders in Lagos takes daily instructions from tinubu

cptjacksparrow:
Get your facts right, they did not leave Saraki's party, He left them in their party to join PDP and he lost. Talking about Lagos, it'll be hard to beat Tinubu in Lagos cos who amongst those in the opposition has the financial strength to face him, all the area boys they use to unleash terror in areas where they know will vote against them etc. God works in mysterious ways, he God has a plan which will manifest at the right time. Keep your fingers crossed.

don't distort history, when saraki rejoined pdp after leaving APC, the guys in pdp who equally left APC when he joined, left the PDP again back to APC to plot his downfall. ok? local politics like we saw in edo kicked saraki out too.

So if it's hard to beat Tinubu in elections, how else do you want him out? You are waiting for God to finish him by thunder or fire. Bros if the Kwara people waited for God, saraki will not be out o, likewise the Edo people. Money is not everything, it's about strategy and better alternatives you think you can offer. Just admit you can't match the man in grassroots politics and laziness cannot achieve that. Most of you shouting are not even members of any political party, na social media be una party

Trentee:
Tinubu did not defeat any of these people that you mentioned. It was the collective will of Nigerians that defeated them. The collective will of Edo people brought in Oshiomole and disgraced him when he wanted to become what they destroyed. Nigerians have seen how Tinubu controls Lagos. Even Buhari as a president is not that overbearing . The same collective will of Nigerians will show Tinubu that Nigeria is bigger than Lagos. #9jaBigPassLagos#

oga so Buhari no be problem again, na tinubu now haba make una no dey lie too much na, talk true if Buhari resign, una no go happy?

yungbanks:
Don't be suprised to see Obaseki back in APC this is Nigeria where every cunning thing is possuble but good is impossible so those shouting Tinubu fall will not get the logic Tinubu puplicly made a video do u guys think he is a fool? No way he calculated it through lets wait and see Obaseki in PDP till 2024 that is if rapture does not visit the world

Obaseki should stay in PDP and build the party, that's how great politicians evolve. Those wanting him back in APC don't mean well for him, they will mess him up at the end of the day. This is why not many take politicians like atiku, saraki, dino and their miserable likes serious

tollyboy5:
greediness of tinubu is too much. You hypocrite he waste our dear state funds to sponsor political empire. Lagos is bleeding

he is not greedy, he is just too powerful for you guys, same thing was said of Awolowo but today we celebrate him for his giant strides of sw development back in his days.

Which Lagos is bleeding, guy go and hustle, even gold is not on the streets of New York, work your butts off and you will be great as you celebrate greatness in others. Don't be deceived, the sky is the limit for everyone

Philipponzaghi:
Nawa o.

All this people fear Tinubu so much because you always hate what you fear!

Obasanjo
Jonathan
Saraki
Dino
Atiku

Edo election is just a signal that politics is local. The people used their power to fight against Oshiomhole and Obaseki was able to bank on that so what is the noise from these guys?

They always say winning attracts lot of enemies, Tinubu is a proof to that statement!

very true and you cannot attract what you hate in others, reason they can't produce suave politicians like tinubu, awolowo and co, their most hated yoruba politicians. It's a testimony to the fact that sw produces very brilliant politicians. Social media agog just because of one man.

I doff my hat for Oshiomhole, he too is a fighter as he still delivered edo north despite the weight of the deputy governor. No worries, these guys will be more appreciated much later in the future by the same people dissing them now. It was same thing in those days of Awolowo who has hated even in yoruba land too. That's how we are in Africa.

Philipponzaghi:
This got me rolling on the floor.

Abians want to liberate Lagosians, this should be the 9th wonder of the world!

their agenda is simple, make Lagos sef be like Abia awon werey

okuta007:
I sincerely believe Obaseki will return to his private life after his tenure is completed - the man is not a natural politician - He is an investment banker - I see him expanding his business by venturing into new sectors and probably working with Dangote since they are friends - He wont be in politics. He may accept ministerial appointment if the president considers him but I do not see him running from pillar to post running for office

That is the difference between someone who has a business or skill before politics - they easily retire to that business

Being a money market guy, he knows how to turn N2 Million to N10 Million in a year, he will just be fine in the private sector - The only person I know will continue politics is Shaibu - and because this Edo election is off cycle, he may have to run for Senate - challenging the current APC Senator in Edo North - and if he wins, he will have to leave office as deputy Governor one year short to the completion of his tenure in 2024

Shaibu should go to Senate and If I were Shaibu, I will use my office now as deputy governor to focus on my Senatorial district for the 2023 PDP Senatorial ticket - and it should be easy if he starts prep early. IF he doesn't go to Senate in 2023, then by 2024 - He will be without a job after Obaseki is done with his term and I have a feeling PDP will give the gubernatorial ticket to an Esan man in 2023. I WILL NOT ADVISE SHAIBU TO ATTEMPT SUCCEEDING OBASEKI - he should go to Senate first and once an Esan man is done with his 8 years then Shaibu can contest for Governor from Edo North - then he would have built a solid structure there, because Osho defeated him in Edo North last week, with 22,000 more votes so he has work to do if he has a future after being the deputy governor.

this is laughable, you think these politicians are just in office to eat rice. I de laugh o in obj's voice.

Kapeter:
Did he contest in Edo election or something. What's with all these stupidity and foolishness though.

tinubu is Nigeria's biggest politician beside PMB, anything to bring the man down and finish him will be many people's joy. That's how we roll in Africa. Always on the path of self destruct

cptjacksparrow:
No body want Tinubu's head, he should allow Lagosians determine their leaders, nobody forced him on Lagosians he should not impose representatives on Lagosians. Mogabe lost his respect in Zimbabwe after he has over stayed his welcome. Oshiomole lost his relevance in Edo when he wanted to turn himself to am emperor same thing happened to saraki in kwara, same people who have turned themselves to semi gods in their respective states were instrumental to Saraki's defeat in Kwara, same fate awaits them one by one.

.

is APC the only party in Lagos?, did Obaseki not move on to another party? what stops those dissatisfied in APC to truly test their popularity in other parties in Lagos. The greatest election challenge APC have had so far in Lagos was the elections that brought in the same Ambode you guys are bashing here and there. Let folks organise themselves and build their own platform to challenge tinubu's empire. Power is not served alacarte bruv.

The examples of kwara you posted, did they not leave saraki party to another party to challenge him? abeg find another excuse

Johnnyessence:
I never find any thing bad about him. he's a vibrant grassroots politician. stop blowing lies and propaganda about him OK.

clap for yourself and good luck

Tareq1105:
Aketi is reaping what he sowed in 2019 when he supported and cause his loyalists to vote his friends in PDP to get to the Senate and Reps against his own party candidates.

Honestly I don't give a damn about the guy, he can as well go with the winds, too much anti-party things with these guys and they forget it could bounce back against them

Johnnyessence:
you that you have research about it post it here.

go and find out nah, shebi you him better

cptjacksparrow:
Lagos is strategically located, that's why Lagos is prosperous, so many business men and women all over the world have a stake in Lagos. Hence, they cannot allow their businesses go down the drain. It is pertinent to note that in 2017 Lagos had a GDP of over $136 billion in 2017,accounts for over 60 percent of industrial and commercial ventures of Nigeria (not built by any politicians). A 2015 report by the Economist states that annually Lagos State generates $90 billion dollars in goods and services (not also influenced by any politician). If Lagos was a country its economy would be number 7 in Africa making it bigger than that of Kenya, Cote D’Ivoire, and Ghana.

Let's not praise the APC govt either federal or state for the growth of Lagos, the state has been developing before 1999, I can say Lagos would have developed more under a visionary govt not those who will divert states resources to their personal use. Though, Chief Bola Tinubu tried but Lagos would still have developed so "Let no man claim the glory of a prosperous Lagos".

which state govt in this country is visionary, pls tell me or you guys simply want Lagos to be in ruins like other states? The Edo that everyone is shouting about, are they visionary there? why do we like lies a lot as Nigerians. You admit in your post that tinubu tried yet you guys want his head. na wa for us as Nigerians, so full of self destruct

BluntTheApostle:
PDP should stop getting their hopes high.

What happened in Edo was a battle between Obaseki and Oshiomole. It was not an APC vs PDP war.

If they think they can take over Lagos, then they are seriously joking.

They don't even have a solid grassroot politician in Lagos.

It is always a year to election that they try to start selling a candidate.

They should try and win Ondo first before they talk about Lagos.

let them dream on bruv, when they loose the next election, they will cry and protest at the US embassy as usual

Johnnyessence:
see another campaign of calumny here. your lies and propaganda will never hold any water . gbadamosi is the best man to beat.

I have heard just go and do your research. No need to argue. Your problem is that anyone against tinubu is always okay. No wahala

DTaj:
From the outset, APC was never a political party. It was an agglomeration of interests.

Although I preferred the party to PDP in 2015 (I still do) for the obvious reason of President Jonathan's absolute loss of control and unbridled corruption under the party, and some good people in APC, it (APC) had always been a disorganized set up.

First, Odigie Oyegun was NOT a leader. The rot started with him as Chairman. He was damn too gentle, bordering on foolishness! Then, Adams Oshiomhole came in as Chairman. He meant well and wanted Governors to respect the party, however, his NLC gra-gra approach finally killed that party!!!

Unfortunately for Nigeria, the alternative, PDP, is replete with thieves, cultists, and outright vagabonds!

This is the time for Nigerians to seek a "3rd Force" of sound professionals, who have absolute love for the country (and not on how much they can steal from it!). They should look for patriotic rich men who can fund them; as it is clear that the Presidency cannot be won by talk and conferences alone, but with huge funds.

Congratulation to Governor Godwin Obaseki!

May God help Nigeria!

what would have been the best approach nah, gentleman no work gra gra no work then what would have worked? We talk and talk but no one appreciates how deadly these governors are, that was how they destroyed the pdp before they started rebuilding.

Goodness me. The same pdp folks here are rejecting is what they want for us in lagos.

I jump and pass o

OriOko88:
Buhari sef. Even though I'm not a member of apc but to be sincere I don't like the way buhari is handling d party affairs. He's always feeling un concerned and uninterested in state elections which is not supposed to be. Obj in those days would hv settled the rift BTW oshiopikin and obaseki to prevent them from losing suck key election. Buhari just folds his arms looking as events played out during d edo election which is not supposed to be. He's d party overall controller and its in such dire situation d party needs him to get involved and settle Rita and differences.
Buhari lacks any leadership quality u could ever thinkk of. Always bereft of ideas asif he's lost in control of Nigerian affairs. Such a shame on buhari

You are very right o

Uncleodi:
What kind of politics does Umahi play?

Let me help you, pdp by day and APC by night. That man nah real niggar

Godsspeed:
Do you know how Trade fair came into existence, do you know the pillars upon which the Lagos commercial hub revolves? Igbos are very industrious folks. So if your godfather really want to reward them (as you claimed) , I won't say he should do more (bc he has not done ANYTHING AT ALL); he should do something. In fact, the political tide that passed through Edo is heading to Lagos, not even you can stop it! Cheers!

We are waiting for you guys to bring your candidate, you can even present an igbo man as candidate, and edo man deputy shebi una plenty. Jokers

Johnnyessence:
Dear Lagos, taking a cue from Edo, can we expect a #FreeLagos starting from the forthcoming Lagos East Senatorial election scheduled for 30th October? A fearless Warrior is your candidate and his name is
@BOGbadamosi .

I just pity you guys, this guy is an hardliner and has strong views and opinions about non yorubas in Lagos. Vote him at your own peril but will be more beneficial to the Lagos indigenes

Atiku sef, na only you waka come

kingy1:
Wow! They were not shock afterall. From his tune and body language, Okorocha was right; many of them were sympathising with Obaseki, including the presidency to spite the duo of Oshomole and Tinubu, as a bigger plan is brewing behind the scene. The 2023 world cup is real.

Nothing special about 2023 it's either they work for the APC to win or get ready to be jailed by the pdp. Very interesting, na the candidate selection go sweet pass

tesppidd:
And I tell you Buhari is to blame not Oshiomole.

Buhari has been aloof about party issues.

Only the President can speak while everyone else shuts up and listens.
The party chairman cannot.

Obasanjo was never this aloof to party crises.
Neither was Jonathan.

Blame it on Buhari and not Oshiomole.

Funny thing is that this may bite back on akerodolu as he was a sworn enemy of oshiomole. The guy may be having sleepless nights now

crossfm:
The video is a coded message to Tinubu.

He said he was optimistic the party was going to win the election prior to 3 weeks ago.In other word's the actions and inactions of APC in the last 2 week's caused their downfall.

The video Tinubu made urging the people of Edo state to reject the governor was ill-timed. Considering the "Edo no be Lagos "slogan still fresh on the peoples mind.

If APC still want to remain relevant, they need to address their infernal conflicts.Reach out to aggrieved and neglected members for reconciliation.

They should also have a roundtable meeting with the president, so that they can address most of the antipeople policies.

They cannot resolve anything. The party belongs to PMB and BAT. Those are the men that will always decide who be becomes chairman or presidential candidate. Most politicians in the APC are just fortunate guys benefitting from the popularity of PMB and BAT resources including the loud mouth kaduna governor. They have no strong political base apart from the APC platform reason Fayemi who himself has no other base thinks APC will expire after PMB tenure. Most politicians in APC are overrated and I pity most of them cos they have no life outside politics. If pdp gets back into aso rock, trust the pdp most of the present APC politicians will be cooling their ass in jail.

tesppidd:
Oshiomole did not inflict any damage on APC.

1. His first sin was stopping Rochas from becoming senator, his wife to HOR, his son becoming governor.

2. His second sin was not supporting Amaechi who said that Magnus Abe must not contest for governor.

3. Another sin was stopping Yari from singlehandly picking a successor and shutting out Marafa and his faction in Zamfara.

4. Another sin was not allowing Aisha Buhari from having her way when her brother wanted to contest for governorship in Adamawa. His sin was insisting on a fair contest.


Is this the way that Adams destroyed the party?


One man singlehandedly destroyed the APC and his name is Buhari.

Thank you for saying the truth, a lot of nigerians are so ignorant. The governors are the ones killing APC like they did in pdp. Oshiomole being a former governor himself wanted to put them in check but everyone egos got in the way and the rest they say is history. PMB is not a politician and cannot put his house in order, until things get so bad then he will run to the same tinubu they are fighting with and put osinbajo to head a kangaroo committee for resolution with nothing to resolve at the end of the day when things have been too damaged beyond repair. It will be interesting to see how things will play out towards 2023. The aloofness of PMB is a huge problem

Godsspeed:
Let any group in my state contribute just half of what the Igbos contributed and still contribute to the coffers of Lagos state, then I will champion their cause in my state until they are given their rightful place in governance... If the Igbos are well represented in Lagos, why are the Igbo traders being harassed every time? The incarcerated appointees of course have no mouths , let alone balls to defend their brothers ad sisters. Wake up brother !

Wetin dey una states wet go make person leave better place go there, plsssss
If they are truly contributing no one who harras anybody nah. What the hell are you guys contributing that you make so much noise about, those filth you are making all over ladipo and other markets, abeg we need better investments than those trash.

One can only imagine if his brother became governor of Lagos
