Good. You can now go to court with this details.

Hope you people also have the original copy of both Real Tax law and the modified one

The graphics above is just assumption. Original copy of the 2 will be needed to win your case in court.

All the best in doing that though

So, that he does it doesn't mean it's right.
I don't vote in Ogun.

You have been crying against Yayi. I will say it again, if Yayi is non-performing like he was when he was in Lagos, that's a valid reason to throw him out but the excuse of he has been in Lagos and all that, doesn't hold water. Many of our leaders in the last two decades had their roots either in politics, business or the likes from Lagos.

Simple and Short! Let Yayi be, if the leader of the party intends to handpick him, like he has done in Osun and he will still do in some other States, that's all or others can defect and do the needful.
Okay, tell us the wonders Yayi did in the constituency he represented in Lagos state.

That should have been the arguments of those who want to impose him on the Ogun state people

Wetin Yayi do the OP gangan?

E reach to ask.
Yayi's offense na two things.

He over served in Lagos when he could have crossed to Ogun state if he really cares. It doesn't make sense for him to serve in Lagos for almost 2 decades and now crossing over to contest Ogun state governor

Sango Ota road and Lagos Ibadan express way. You see those two roads, they are very important to Ogun state. They have awarded contract for those roads severally which nothing tangible have been done. What precisely is the role of Yayi as a senator if not to oversight the government projects in his constituency and beyond. So what has he been oversight of those roads are still in dilapidated.

Nothing personal apart from Yayi's negligence about some important things

"No state in Nigeria is close to Ogun State" because they have produced president, vice, etc, under democracy, you said?

Well, stop being delusional. There's a state in Nigeria called "Katsina State" that has produced two presidents, speaker and other major political posts in this same democratic dispensation.

I wonder when some of you will grow pass ethnocentrism.
Mr Delulu, sebi Katsina has produced VP before

Eish

Outsiders are ruling Lagos, but when we talk, they call us names. Let me add Lai Mohammed tried to be Kwara governor, he vacated his post for Fashola to become Chief of Staff to Tinubu. An Egba man will become next Ogun governor. Won kan fe je owo Yayi ni.
Think about it I know this guy from Egbeda /Akowonjo, he used to be round houses for them to vote him.
grin grin grin grin grin
He understands Lagos state more than Ogun state more over he doesn't reside in Ogun state. Let him go and govern in Lagos state

Is it not disgraceful that Faleke has been Reps member for Ikeja for 5th term, yet went to the Supreme Court to be pronounced Governor of Kogi State?

An Ogun native is the present Deputy Governor of Lagos, we are not complaining nah. An Ondo-born was Governor before Jide, we didn't complain either.

When Yayi contested against Rhodes-Vivour, I complained they said Baba sope. When Oyinlola complained about Aregbesola years ago, they said no problem, he is Osun-born, and has the constitutional rights to contest.

Again, Dapo was into Lagos politics and was drafted into the race as Ogun Gov by Tinubu. OGD himself was involved in Lagos politics before he also became Gov. He provided Asiwaju's campaign office in 1999 when the latter was contesting to be Governor.

Please, don't distract Yayi. If Asiwaju picks him, that's all.
This is one of the things about stuffs like this, once it starts, all fingers get stuck on.
Please, don't distract Yayi. If Asiwaju picks him, that's all.
Imagine another disrespectful talk. So it's Asiwaju that will tell Ogun people what to do right.

The supporters of Yayi should keep on with the insult . Same you that always frown about godfatherism. Oga oo

I myself have had innocuous responses to insultive comments removed while the insult was allowed to stay.

It's only a website forum, not the end of the world
Bro , I actually need to apologize to the mods and NL for allowing those trollers to take over the forum for years. Ever since I started blocking them, you can see that the threads are less derailed.

Those people are not interested in learning, change or improve. Blocking them is just the best thing to do as they can be distractive.

I hardly have hidden comments now

Aregbesola also governed in Lagos as Commissioner and then was dispatched to Osun.

Opeyemi Bamidele also governed in Lagos and was dispatched to Ekiti

Faleke governed in Lagos and was dispatched to Kogi & has returned to Lagos

Hazmat governed in Lagos and is still governing in Lagos.

Yayi did nothing different, please let's leave him alone. He has a good vision for Ogun State like he did in my voting constituency in Lagos West....... Yayi jooooooo
Bro all those you mentioned are not from Ogun state. Ogun state politics is different

And if you want to talk about Amosun, OGD, DA being brought, they never served outside the state before.

It's disrespectful for Yayi to have represented Lagos state for almost 2 decades and now be saying he wants to govern Ogun state. What is he taking the people from the state for?

The clamour around that time is for power to head to Ogun West, GNI can contest no doubt since he does not align with Amosun.

Remember that was the problem leading to shared vote around that region that favours Dapo Abiodun
They divided their votes. Had they work together, their combination would have produced more than the 2 votes they received in combine as Ogun central might have a change of mind about their seriousness
Politics › Senator Yayi Should Go And Govern Where He Represented For Almost 2 Decades by helinues(op): 9:19am On Dec 22, 2025
It's an insult on the people of Ogun state for Yayi who has represented Lagos state from state assembly, to house of rep, to Senate for almost 2 decades and now suddenly remember he wants to govern Ogun state.

It's an insult, it's disrespectful. Let Yayi go and govern in Lagos state where he represented for decades

What an arrant nonsense

The problem is politics. Politics here in Nigeria always come with numerous alignment and realignment. Some jurisdictions are sometimes not crossed if there are bigger plans to achieve using that same jurisdiction. They all count as strategies to achieve certain objectives
He shouldn't have represented Lagos state for that long.

Go and check dangote outburst this morning

Many of Una are just blind follower

Go and import a container from China, what you pay as clearing fee in Nigeria is higher than total cost of freight + clearing at china port. Many of Una argue blindly, some of us argue with facts. Dangote manufacture his cement right here in Nigeria but the selling price is higher than what he sells in other countries simply because government collect as high as 50% of his income from cement as taxes which he openly said that he passed the burden to the final.consumet
Importation fee is actually less in Nigeria compared to other Africa countries. Ghana and Kenya for example, buying car there is just too expensive

Was it Ogun East turn when Dapo snatched the seat even though he was unpopular

Whoever APC presents is going to be the next governor and that is Yayi whether you like it or not
We don't have short memory here. When Amosun presented Akinlande from Ogun West as his successor before completing his second term, why did GNI from same Ogun West contest?

So which turn are you talking about?

Note I said in the first post that I am not a fan of his…..just stating the politics, not whether he will be a good governor.

Politically, he is popular in Ogun west, to understand why, you would have to ask Ogun west people. I don’t know what he does. I don’t like him, I don’t like the way he carries himself, I just have a negative feel about him. He gives me bad vibes.

But without him Dapo would not be governor.
Bro, there is no sense in him contesting Ogun state governor. This same man represented Lagos senatorial district for almost a decade if not more. He didn't remember about Ogun state when he was representing Lagos state?

If he truly care about Ogun state he would have switched long time as he's currently representing Ogun West senatorial district.

What an insult to the people the state.

He should go and govern where he represented for a decade. What rubbish

Spending? Nobody is expecting him to spend anything. Just oversight the federal government projects in the areas he claimed he cared about.

Lagos- Ibadan express way is another re awarded contract which is still yet to be done properly.

He crossed over to contest Ogun gov

Lagos gov had never been on the cards for him. The reason he remained a Lagos senator was because Amosun was not ready to entertain him in Ogun in any form. It’s only when Amosun left office that he was able to cross over. The senate seat was his reward for helping Dapo in 2019.

Amosun never gave him the senate ticket.
So if he indeed had Ogun people at heart, how come they have not been seeing his hand when he was representing Lagos state?

If he indeed care about his own people from Ogun West, why is the Sango Ota road still in dilapidated. Even though his duty is not to build the road but to oversight. The road contract have been awarded severally, what has he Yayi been oversighting? Why has he refused to speak up on what he observed from his oversighting except if he had a share

I don't know of YAYI has served Ogun state in any capacity before?
No, he hasn't before just in 2023. He cross over to Ogun state to contest the senatorial seat when he realized his chances of becoming Lagos state governor is not there.

Before then, what has he done for the people of Ogun West not to talk of Ogun state people entirely? It's like he's taking the people from the state as mumu.

Sango Ota road have been in dilapidated state for decades. What's his role as a senator if not to oversight the projects in his constituency, state and beyond . The contract for that road have been awarded severally with nothing tangible done..What has he been oversighting?

That's why I am saying that Ogun West get power too. Akinlade polled 222k votes, GNI 110k plus vote. That combined, Akinlade takes it 2019.
Because both was supported/influenced by Ogun central people. If Egba and Yewa /Awori present a governorship candidate in 2027, Ogun central candidate will win in Ogun West because apart from them in OW not united, it's the Ogun central people that control the politics of Ogun West

I agree based on that outburst and the appeal he had to make running up to the election in 2023 +.

Going by what happened in 2019, Dapo was almost of not a goner until Tinubu stepped in. You remember they almost embarrass Buhari that day.
Amosun made Tinubu to get involved as he Amosun refused to listen to Osoba. Osoba have family tie with Ijebu even though he's an Egba. That's what brought Dapo into the picture

These politicians do not ever learn. At the moment Yayi is even more popular than the sitting governor. Popular in all corners of the state and especially among the non-yorubas which is a significant voting block. He has a solid structure and has been spending money long before now. Only God and TINUBU can stop him.
The spectators don't have a clue about Ogun. Politics. Let Yayi win Apc party ticket first

Because Ogun state is the most respected states by president Tinubu amongst all the states in Nigeria. The outburst before the election all happened in the state.

Those who view Ogun politics from afar don't know how complicated and sophisticated the state is

President, Vice president, Speaker, major political position under democracy, no state in Nigeria is close to Ogun state

The only thing working against Yayi is because he's perceived not to be originally from Ogun in some quarters.

The Gov isn't as strong and influential politically as OGD and Amosun to be able to unilaterally decide against Yayi

His best bet is to align with the Egba's to produce a candidate for the APC else, he'll lose at both ends.

Will GNI return to the mix? 2026 is pregnant.
If the Egba's insist on presenting candidate, Yayi should just forget about it as Owu will also come on board making Ogun central to be completed.

Ijebu/Remo's votes have always been divided into 3

Ogun East always have 2 factions, Gbenga Daniel and Dapo Abiodun. Ijebu's politics only align with one of the Remo's faction. One of Remo faction always align with Ogun Central

The federal power used in installing Dapo Abiodun (Eleyi as stated by President Tinubu) as governor will be used to install YAYI.
President Tinubu will not intervene in the Ogun politics in 2027. It get why
