garfield1: For me,it is because of the reasons I enumerated before the polls and many more.
Firstly,the north or core north only rallies behind radical,fanatic muslims or Muslims that appear simple,incorrupt,sharia driven,conservative like ahmadu bello,shehu yaradua,buhari etc.atiku lacks these features...
Secondly,the Muslim Muslim ticket is attractive to many core Muslims.they prefer it to a liberal Muslim pairing a southern Christian like atiku.
Thirdly,atiku is not grasstooted or close to the masses.he is too elitist and has no populist movement like buhari or kwankwaso Fourthly,atiku does not have core loyalists working for him tirelessly.people in the north like tambuwal,saraki,lamido,muazu babangida etc that worked for him are not his loyalists and did so based on being in pdp or monetary reasons.atiku does not believe in loyalty,he thinks money can buy everything.
Finally,the defections were not overwhelming.the apc countered defections in sokoto,kebbi,gombe,jigawa.no governor defected most importantly.additionally,the north felt it was the turn of the south and tinubu having helped return back power to the south should be repaid in the words of gov masari.the na mu na mu by rolams failed,naka sai naka by change the change failed and shinkafa de wake by immaculatejoe failed to materialize.
if u guys follow my comments here I told u atiku is over hyped.he lives in dubai he can’t expect to inherit the kind of votes Buhari that lives in kaduna gets.Atiku is not loved in the north.
Gistsnaijamedia: House of Representatives member-elect for the Esan South-East/Esan North-East Federal Constituency, Odiasen Okojie, has dedicated his certificate of return to his actress wife, Mercy Johnson.
Espelbengz: I don't know about other states, but as for BENUE no party can beat APC with YES FATHER on the ticket! Obi and Buhari would loose elections against Father Alia!!
na so the man strong?I love to hear this.I love ppl who are grounded
engrflames: The writer has failed to realize that there's a huge difference between a national election and state elections. Most voters don't vote for parties anymore rather individuals who they feel are competent.
I don tell them tire.even Obi knows the game won’t be the same.
poseidon12: That is exactly how you guys were mouthing off about Tinubu's structure, and dismissing Obi's chance until Tinubu lost and resorted to rigging and thuggery.
he rigged?He couldn’t rig Lagos he went to rig north?
Wisfem: There was no insult you called everyone who does not support Tinubu Terrorist, I said the quest to make this Country Breath life was on a sight if Tinubu Had won on fair contest No one will oppose him..
it’s not me that called them a terrorist o I just commented I didn’t creat the tread I try not to use offensive languages.In the end,at the top these guys are not enemies o na me and u Dey wan fight ourselfs.
Freshtruth: Why us atiku and Tinubu not campaigning for their various candidates? Abi na only them selves them kW? I see Lp winning 2 states which are Abia and Lagos
abia sure Lagos no sure.what of house of assembly elections?how u see am
Ventrue: Wicked WIKE and his Fake PDP Puppet DISLOGGED BY APC. Mr. WIKE, I TOLD LISTEN TO THE LORD - Touch, not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm (Genesis 26:1).
Don’t you know Beatrice Itubo is the Lord’s anointed incoming Governor of River State? In a world where people like Wike walk in darkness, let us turn our faces to the light and vote for Beatrice Itubo and her running mate Sam Barikpoa on the 18th of March.
shes taking over her kitchen.Obidients laugh wan kill me
Omoawoke: If GRV gets up to 400k votes, I’d be surprised beyond surprise. I see him getting between 250 to 350 k votes against Sanwo olu of about 600 to 700k votes
This guy is a joker
exactly person when I pity na jandor.grv overnight is ahead of jandor now.Sanwolu was lucky he did well if not no be wetin we Dey talk now we for Dey talk.The govs that will survive Obi tsunami are those that performed.it’s just like wike,em no Dey see labor party at all.In delta despite the tsunami,all the strong men won their elections,na who no strong Obi breeze Dey blow
Bede2u: Lol 😆. This was what you guys said before lp won 12 states...the same number your apc won. Relax ogbeni na one vote you get.
I no even get any vote I no Dey naija.But I have been telling ppl tinubu will win from the first day he declared interest to run.My analysis r always accurate if u follow my comments here.I told pll Obi will never win although I never expected him to gather such momentum honestly.But e don finish
Bede2u: he is an underdog. However underdogs defeat big dogs all the time and some of the things he says now that he would do, he may not do if elected
lol he can’t be elected stop saying if..that language doesn’t arise.sanwolu will win with landslide.Eveeythjng about LP ended on 25 feb.They will make small noise in SE.
Minjim: This is exactly why Obi is in court shouting.
He knows he has lost the election but he needs to give his supporters hope to build a momentum for the Guber election. So that they won't loose hope and go back to being Ipobs
I have a vision for a new Lagos Here is my action plan for the first 100 Days in office.
1.0 Increase Minimum Wage to N60,000 on Day 1 in Office, the salary of Civil Servants will be increased by 100% to N60,000 monthly. The target is to reach N100,000 as soon as possible. This will cover everybody including street sweepers.
2.0 Moral suasion to persuade the Organised Private Sector to follow Govt's lead by stopping casualisation and also increase their minimum wage to a living wage. Banks, telcos, oil companies, multinationals, large national corporates, etc will be incentivised with PAYE tax credits to stop casualisation and index their minimum wage to their capacity to pay rather than current market wage rates which are suppressed by high unemployment. A first step for a Lagos where every worker has health care, pensions and similar benefits.
3.0 Cancel Alpha Beta's Contract which costs the State N5bn monthly.
4.0 Use the savings from the cancellation of Alpha Beta contract to set up a grand Loan Scheme for Micro, Small and Medium Scale Enterprises. Ensure at least 10,000 beneficiaries in the first 100 Days. We expect the scheme to benefit up to 1m beneficiaries in 4 years.
5.0 Establish a portal for publishing costs of all government projects and compare them to World Bank standards to eliminate waste and corruption.
6.0 Issue a 10-year order for 10,000 vehicles to an auto manufacturer that commits to building an auto assembly in Lagos with a credible plan to achieve 50% value added within 5 years.
7.0 Pull down all toll gates in the Lekki Ajah axis and Ikoyi link bridge.
8.0 Build a monument in memory of our slain sons and daughters at the old Lekki Toll Gate.
9.0 Advertise for the employment of 10,000 teachers with outstanding grades (First Class and Second Upper or Upper Credit) to start a process of repositioning teaching as a middle-class career.
10.0 Execute a Memorandum of Understanding with all Road Transport Unions for the implementation of a rehabilitation and retraining program, and take Agberos off our roads.
11.0 Invite bids for the design and construction of 100 km of rail across Lagos.
12.0 Host an education summit with all stakeholders to get buy-in into GRV's plan for partnerships to upscale public schools to the standards of the best private school.
13.0 Host a health summit with all stakeholders to get buy-in for partnerships to upscale services at Primary Health Centres to best-in-class, laying the foundation for an effective referral system.
14.0 A summit for various artisan associations such as bricklayers, plumbers, mechanics, welders, carpenters, tailors and other technicians with the objective of creating a process for their certification and access to small-scale loans.
15.0 Working with my Party, the Labour Party, appoint first-class caretaker Chairmen for each Local Govt, each appointee being skilled enough to be a potential Governor.
16.0 Set a date for Local Government elections.
17.0 Issue Guidelines to open up the BRT routes to all investors who meet the minimum standards. Create a program for widespread investment in public transport by all willing Lagosians and investors.
18.0 Issue Guidelines for markets to operate autonomously and appoint their own Iyalojas and Babalojas.
19.0 Release Guidelines for a new waste management system for separating waste to paper, plastic and organic from homes; a first step towards a world class system for turning waste into biogas and fertilizer.
20.0 Emergency rehabilitation of buildings and facilities in 100 primary and secondary schools pending comprehensive reconstruction.
21.0 Enumeration of all apartments that have been vacant for more than 180 days, and commencement of a program to ensure occupancy by 31st Dec. At least 100 such apartments are to be occupied in the first 100 days.
22.0 The commencement of the rehabilitation of 100 inner roads spread across all Local Governments in Lagos.
I am determined to set Lagos on course to become First World in 30 years. Hold me accountable after the first 100 Days.
