baba Dapo has been ractified and INEC says they must present list by 7th. So it's safe to say Dapo has made it. I think it's better you start working for GNI now

Have u heard? Akinlade is now Ogun APC Gubernatorial Candidate.....

OmoManU:
APC will retain ogun

How? With Amosun and his structure outta APC...pls tell me how they will manage to do it?

haffaze777:
Just leave dem,their eyes will soon clear

I swear...Thank God d Lagos and Ogun Gubers will hold simultaneously...there won't be time for Tinubu to invade Ogun with his thugs...it will be a level playing ground for all...let's see who owns Ogun.

OmoManU:
All the states where APC holds sway will return comfortably but we should expect some surprises from some states such as Delta, Akwa Ibom, Taraba and in Sokoto, 80% sure APC shall be reclaiming that state

But count out state's where sitting Govs were sidelined...i.e Ogun State


Watch as d drama unfolds.

forgiveness:
See! Before all those one man stepped aside and he is not from Yewa.

Pls educate me...who was he...and where was he from?

Omofunaab2:
Lol, they are banking on Amosun to do another Ambode and accept Defeat.. Even if amosun eventually does that, majority of the egbas will surely vote Yewa which is GNI ..We are fully aware of the Ijebu agenda.

The differene btw Amosun and Ambode is that...Amosun is a real man, firm in his political adventures...while Ambode lacks cajones...another thing is that while Ambode succumbed during to fear of impeachment, d same can't be said of Amosun...He's in firm control of d House of Assembly.

I have said it before, rather than allow a saboteur in Abiodun to become Gov, d Egbas, Aworis and Yewas will rather line up behind GNI....and that is my take too. Kaka k'eku maje sese, aa fi se awadanu ni.

haffaze777:
This APC is so stupid wallah,how can they give dapo Abiodun that can't win his senatorial district their governor ticket?GNI will be thanking his star by now because I don't think amosun will work with this dapo of a guy,I see APC losing Ogun state come 2019

The figure that produced him is even more confusing...primaries were not held anywhere in d Central and West, yet d clown garnered 100K votes...4rm where now?

D tsunami dat will hit Ogun APC is doing press up...e go do them like film trick...Abiodun's camp is d coming together of past failures...let's see how far they can go.

forgiveness:
Who was the Yewa man that stepped down for Onabanjo?

Not just one but many, but d key ones were Otegbeye and Odebiyi.

Just watch out for the tsunami that will engulf Ogun APC...d battle-line is drawn...let's see how Dapo will become Gov.

APC, beware!!!

dyydxx:
Amosun and your Yewa elders sabotaged your chance. The irony is that it is Amosun's actions that will make yewa lose it if they indeed lose it and who knows when again it will come back there. Dont blame Dapo for taking advantage. It will not be TripleA

Time will tell...

raphroye:
This man called Adam is just too desperate, he's ready to do anything to have his way. Those governors no even get choice than to dance to his tune

The funny thing is that, while he is at it, his own State is gradually slipping thru his fingers...his people are decamping to PDP in droves and people are fighting dirty over APC tickets in Edo.

Franzinni:
why do we use these words when APC is involved

1. Mago mago
2.wuru wuru
3. Jaga jara
4. Jaku jaku
5. Raun raun
6. Rede rede

Feel free to extend the list....

Pls tell which of these words doesn't relate with what is happening in PDP now and in d past too?

dyydxx:
Lol.. I think it's pretty clear you dont like Dapo Abiodun. I hope we can agree that whatever the case Akinlade is not the man to govern Ogun State. If Amosun continue to insist it will go elsewhere either to GNI or Ladi or even this Dapo sef. The koko is Amosun doesn't get to put his stooge and i think that is enough to unite all Amosun's opponents

What is there to like about a Dapo Abiodun who ran and lost to d incumbent Senator in Ogun West, Buruji Kahsamu... withdrew all he invested in APC, including d buses he donated, went away for 3 years and came back at d eleventh hour to sabotage d clearest chance we Ogun West people have at producing a Gov for d 1st time in d history of this State. In fact, i hate his likes with passion

In Ogun West, I will make sure I spend my money and time campaigning against him in Ogun West if his candidacy stands than campaigning for GNI to emerge. Though it might not be enough, but i would have played my part...and trust me. i am not alone.

If it is not Triple A, I will go with GNI...at Worst Lado. To hell with Dapo Abiodun.

AdedoyinO:
@ humberjade

Who dash Amosun best governor in history? So because he built bridges in Abk makes him a performer? What about the areas that are already highly populated and with industries but are left with gutter like roads everywhere?

Should we mention the models schools he built...or uncompleted bridges and roads around Agbole and environs since his first term? Is it the arrears he is owing workers we should talk about or the crisis in MAPOLY or how LG chairmen are rendered useless in his administration.

One thing I will give to him is in the area of employment to the civil service, every other thing na wash.

He's not perfect like i said...but he's d best...Just mention a past Gov who can measure up to him...though i am disappointed at d rate of work on some ongoing construction of roads and bridges across d State, but he has laid down d marker for future Govs to work on, provided they don't abandon d said projects to start new ones they will later abandon.

RedPanda:
You are such an Amosun apologist. In any case, Amosun is currently running frompillar to post now trying to change things in Abuja but that ship has sailed Long ago. There is no going back on Dapo Abiodun.

Forget about Dapo losing to Buruju, he has become the rallying point of all anti-Amosun forces and his backers are very formidable. You have the likes of Oshiomole, Osinbajo, Dangote,Tinubu and Osoba. His personal rapport with Buhari isn't suffiient to change this outcome. Dapo is not YAYI o.

I am only supporting Amosun because he's done so well in Ogun, more than any previous Govt...though he's not perfect like any human...2, he's d closest Yewa can get to actualising our dream of producing a Gov. And no matter d gathering, this is our time, we shall overcome...unless Amosun betrays d Yewas...If not Triple A, GNI is good by me...but trust that Yewa would rather Lado wins than a certain Dapo Abiodun who came to rock our boat at d eleventh hour.

Time will tell sha...

Mrblaster:
Watch all those clamoring for dapo candidacy, most of them are ijebus. Let's leave sentiment aside no governor has beaten amosun in terms of achievements in ogun state not even onabanjo. The tribalistic politics in ogun state today was introduced by onabanjo, an ijebu son. And if not for the smartness of obj to bring the state capital to abeokuta through the back door, they already wanted it at ikenne. Amosun ain't perfect and he has his shortcomings too in folds but he's an upgrade to what we've been having before. Dapo Abiodun, after losing 2015 election withdrew all the buses he bought for the party. Who does that? And he left for over 3 years not even concerned about what happen in the party only to now appear from thin air. Don't be deceived, this is the best opportunity for GNI. Wonders will happen next year and APC won't find it funny. Tinubu is fast losing relevance and people don't seem to read the line . You will all know the real color of buhari if he win the second term. Let them go to primary and slug it out. Why NWC was busy postponing the primaries for 2 times before Ogun APC conducted the election with inec officials present. Amosun might be bad but he have a valid point with his argument. You can't just announce the winner without due diligence from the state party. Is that what APC as a party stand for? If APC should go on with dapo Abiodun, the election will favor GNI. Mark my word... And also remember that all politics is local and more so, loyalty is the blood of politics globally.

AS for Onabanjo, he didn't set a good precedence for others to follow...and to even think that a Yewa man stepped down for him is even more annoying.

Dapo Abiodun will meet his waterloo...we shall be waiting for him.

As for GNI, i am not saying it won' favour him, but he needs Amosun's support and not OBj's to win it...OBJ is not strong at all locally...why do u think Majekodunmi decamped to Amosun's camp despite all Amosun's camp seems to be passing thru now? He knows ADC is extremely weak in Ogun Central. GNI can only do well in d West if he's d sole candidate from there and needs a strong man like Amosun to help deliver d Central.

ntyce:
Hope you will still repeat this after the Oct 7 deadline.

Amosun is finished politically, greed killed him..
He was asked to drop his Senate ambition as well as some his candidates for AAA to be recognized, he refused.

Let's see his next step

We shall see my brother...

ntyce:
Says who, who brought Amosun to Osoba?
Without Tinubu, Amosun will be the serial loser that he was.
He only has clout in Abeokuta town, even the egba highchiefs don't like him.

He's arrogant and stubborn
I don't really care who becomes governor, I just don't want the sitting Governor to hand pick his successor.
The guy is a fraudulent man, why is he building bridges where there's no need for?
Yet important roads are not motorable.

I see GNI benefitting from this, if Obasanjo should come out openly and show his support, GNI will get few votes from Egba axis added to his Yewa votes

Which OBJ gan are u talking about? The one that can't win d polling booth in front of his house, not to talk his ward...which candidate has he ever made to win anything in Ogun...name any.

Hate him or like him, he obviously is not perfect and has his own flaws like any human, but Amosun is d best Gov ever in d history of this State...The bridges are there already and might not be fully utilised now...but with Lagos bn overcrowded, people are now moving to Ogun State...if the train line d FG is constructing begins operation, people will relocate en-mass to Ogun and be working in Lagos. Is it until when this happens that we start rushing to construct bridges and infrastructure to meet up...plus how do u attract investors if u lack good infrastructure in place...it is called foresight; bn proactive instead of bn reactive.


Ogun Central is locked down for him...without all these Osobas u are talking about, he won in 2015...when Osoba thought in 2015 he was still relevant and chose to flex his weak muscle, he and his Matagbamole Group decamped to another party...a single seat, they couldn't win...if Amosun should move out of APC in Ogun today, APC is finished in d State...Even d VP himself, Osinbajo can't win Lado in Ogun East, not to talk of Kashamu...All these people are not up to one, i swear.

Is it Dapo Abiodun who couldn't win his Senatorial District in 2015, disappeared into thing air without contributing jack shit to d party for 3 years, only to return and be flexing muscle...time will tell sha.

ntyce:
I know Buhari will have the final say but I think he will want to go with his deputy.
It's Osinbajo's state so he needs to prove his influence.

Moreso, I learnt Buhari doesn't have much confidence in Amosun cos of the Kemi Adeosun saga

In case u don't know, Osinbajo came out from Lagos and can't even win Ogun East for APC...Buhari can't afford to gamble with Ogun votes with d array of foes gathering against him. And it is only Amosun that can deliver it to him.

Ayed44:
Stop disturbing yourself about Amosun. They will use EFCC to threaten Amosun to support Dapo Abiodun. Amosun has no choice, he will support Dapo Abiodun whether he likes it or not.

Who will threaten Amosun with EFCC, biko...Osinbajo or Tinubu? Dem never born dem. Is it Osinbajo dat can't dictate to Ministers or Tinubu dat bearably escaped humiliation in Osun?

In case u don't know...Amosun is Buhari's political son...in fact they are like friends...they go way back.

In case u don't know, Buhari instructed Tinubu to allow Yayi return to Lagos and not disturb his political son.

Oh, u think it is a fluke that Amosun's Finance Commissioner became Buhari's Finance Minister? Go figure.

ntyce:
Amosun never consulted with the other stakeholders before deciding on Akinlade.
he kept Osoba out of events thinking the party excos support is alone.

Even after he was told to announce AAA as Ogun west consensus, he chose to call him APC consensus, taking him everywhere as his anointed.

He took him to Osinbajo but the VP refused to recognize him.

I am happy that his candidate won't be the successor.
we are tired of his MMM govt

Time will tell who Buhari go support...

senatordave1:
What are buhari's chances in ogun state?

Very bright, provided Amosun has his way in presenting his successor. And since he's d surest of them all to deliver Ogun to Buhari he won't want to offend him. But let's wait and see sha.

Gazzy88:
Same amosun that plotted aketi victory and APC thinks they can mess with him. He would rather pave way for GNI than allow dapo Abiodun. Amosun is an owu man and they hardly give up. Go read about them.

You are very correct...Amosun does not need anyone of them to win Ogun Central but they need him to come close to winning...at d end of d day Yewa people are not fools. We are wiser now.

dyydxx:
Somene above said Tolu Odebiyi would have been a better choice. anyway if you are right, it is still better for other party to win than APC. it is better that way. Nobody can be forming jagaban in Ogun state. Osoba tried it and failed, Daniels tried and failed and Amosun too will fail.
If Amosun thinks he is better off by sabotaging Dapo then Pdp or ADC might win and that is still good for Ogun politics in general. No baba sope in Ogun state

Tolu Odebiyi has bn giventhe Ogun West APC consensus ticket until someone came out from Ado-Odo to challenge him. But we are outsiders, Amosun knows them personally, he's worked with all of them and knows their capabilities. It is natural for any leader to want someone to succeed him and continue his progs. But at d end of d day, only God gives power. Time will tell sha.

Gazzy88:
Dapo Abiodun won't see votes in Ogun central and Ogun West. They will teach him and APC what Ogun state is made of. The sooner they realise their mistakes and redress,the better for them. Amosun is a stubborn and unforgiving man,a typical owu man justnlike OBJ. He won't allow dapo abiodun emerge. The worst is to work with GNI and with that,the guy will win the elections successfully.

I tell u. There were talks on ground for GNI to move to APC before he moved to ADC but talks broke down. The two parties coming together will automatically win GNI d Guber Race. It just that, everything must be worked out before Sunday.

The Amosun i know will rather give it away to GNI than allow d likes of Osoba, whose name can no longer win someone a LG election lord it over him. He's in Abuja now, let's see how it plays out.

Now, I am just laughing at people's submissions on this thread.


Now, let me put d records straight...In Ogun Central and Ogun West...there were no primaries anywhere yesterday...How d NWC cooked those figures is still a surprise to me.

On Tuesday, 2 of d 10 NWC members sent from Abuja were expelled because they chose to dance against d tune of APC HQ that a certain aspirant, obviously Dapo Abiodun, must emerge as APC Guber candidate. This is not a hearsay...one of them spoke with d press.

Now, Amosun's candidate still has some hope; Amosun is Buhari's political son, he's bn with him for years during his struggle ot become President. He was even staying at Amosun's house whenever he was in Lagos back then. So they go way back.

But peradventure Dapo Abiodun remains APC's flag-bearer, Amosun will still emerge victorious in Ogun Central and can afford to work against Abiodun and ask his Ogun West guys to work for GNI.

Dapo Abiodun is a featherweight in Ogun politics (someone who couldn't win his Senatorial district in 2015), and has featherweight backers in Ogun too. His candidature is seen as Ogun West people as a betrayer of d Ogun West people, and trust me, he will fail woefully in Yewa. He obviously can't win Ogun East...So he will need Amosun to deliver d Central to him...I see Amosun promising him and failing him at d crucial moment.

forgiveness:
Dapo for the past 4 years went round the whole communities in the west to ask each communities their problems and at the same time profounding solutions with his money.

This is one on one approach. They will definitely repay him back with some amount of votes.

Amosun can't work against APC because he is eyeing to be senate President.

Lol

How can the VP and d Senate President emerge from d same State? kole werk

dyydxx:
NWC has just declared DApo ABiodun. Confusion everywhere

I just tire jare...but i can tell u this, Dapo Abiodun who is using d Osoba faction to sabotage Amosun's plan for Ogun West will eventually be dropped as d APC HQ is yet to agree with d NWC.

Amosun is Buhari's personnel person; he won't open his eyes and watch his political son get burnt...if he does, then Amosun will have no choice but to align with OBJ's candidate in ADC, GNI.

dyydxx:
But tuesday primaries were boycotted by Dapo Abiodun and the rest now. why dont Amosun just make this thing free and fair. I think his candidate will still emerge in a free process so why all the abracadabra. anyway lets see how it plays out

There is a force behind d scene trying to play pranks in Ogun...Imagine d NWC coming to Ogun with ballot papers that are meant for Indirect Primaries, instead of A4 papers for Direct Primaries as approved by d APC HQ.

Like i mentioned earlier, there is this news going round that Osinbajo along with d Osoba group are the ones behind this dangerous game; he wants Dapo Abiodun to emerge as APC candidate in Ogun at all cost. And this was affirmed by a member of d NWC sent from Abuja. He said he and another member, a Prof were expelled from d NWC because they stood by what is right. He said they were bn punished because they did not follow orders from APC HQ that a certain aspirant must emerge as APC candidate at all cost.

Gov Amosun was proactive instead of trying to be reactive like Okorocha...he got wind of their plans b4 they could carry it out.
