Today, our great party, the All Progressive Congress (APC) had her primary elections in Lagos state, it was a keen contest between myself and my competitor, Mr Jide Sanwo-olu.
As usual in any political competition, especially one where all contestants are ably skilled and qualified, the contest was filled with intrigues and strategies of innumerable moves and counter moves. It was a contest of competitors, not a battle of enemies.
Members of our Party have spoken, they have said loud and clear that at this time, Sanwo-olu is the person they want to represent us all in the forth coming general elections in 2019.
This brings to an end the primary elections. We now have to fuse together as one, to forge ahead in unity of purpose to ensure that our state does not fall into the hands of the other parties whose stock in trade is corruption and/or incompetence.
I would follow in the tradition of our party, and footstep of my great predecessor, Babatunde Raji Fashola, who despite not having his way during the 2015 primaries, still went ahead to give me his 100% support. I would also be at the fore front in the support of my erudite brother, Babajide Sanwo-olu.
I am hereby directing that all Ambode support group structures be collapsed into the Sanwo-olu structure, which i believe would in time also be collapsed into the overall APC campaign structure.
I thank the people of Lagos State for giving me the opportunity to have led in the past 4 years. There have been lessons learnt and insights gained.
I thank the party leaders both at state and federal level, especially Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and President Muhammadu buhari for their leadership roles in the party.
Because "Eko o baje" , that was why "itesiwaju Eko je wa logun", now let's all go out there as one inseparable broom and "Sanwo Eko".

Even this,scam saraki can't win in kwara his state because of his long term failure and inhumane attitude he's shown for a long time....he is even the one we praying for to emerge so he can jeopardize their whole effort....am from kwara,Ilorin in precision.... so I know how things work here and saraki is a No every u go.....

he should win their primary so that he won't be able to go for Senate...n of course he wud loose d presidential election n become irrelevant politically.

SARAKI OLE...Atunwa ole...Maigida Ole...they av looted kwara dry..awon ole ifo.

OP...pls how much were u paid? saraki has nothing to do with kwara being peaceful, it has always been like that...or r u telling me there was no peace during late Lawal's tenure? we are liberating kwara this time...u can only deceive the gullible.

ohhhh...Chelsea whyyyyyyyy?

MarketingAce:
A nairalander once said that what's the essence of Nigerian politics without Saraki in it? Absolutely nothing!!!
I stand with Saraki.

you see, politics is a very funny game in Nigeria. no matter d outcome in Osun it's the people's choice n we v got to respect that but please come to ilorin and see how saraki has caused us so much pains. that Aregbe man is better than saraki + fatai the present governor put together, half salary in Osun equals our full salary here.
Osun pays 58k or there about for graduates while kwara pays 32k. I live in ilorin so I know Osun is far ahead of kwara.
secondly inec clearly stated that there was malfunction of card reader at a polling unit in Ife South, no election took place at a polling unit in oshogbo, over votting in Ife north but there was disruption in only one PU in OROLU...is saraki too blind to see this?
it's pains when u see saraki manipulating people online...he is also a godfather here n had taken kwara backward...shebi Osun build roads, wetin dem build for us in kwara? Nothing...we just standstill...kwarans are waiting for saraki too...we wud speak at the 2019 poll.

Cajal:
....just the same way some thugs mentioned his name in offa robbery incidence... Where 34 people were killed

...just the same way he took monthly salary from our state even after becoming a senator.

Baselm:
What has this got to do with Saraki? Unilorin belongs to FG, and mind u, unilorin is only rated high because they don't go on strike, I was born in Ilorin and spent more than 20 years in Ilorin, Unilorin is just a glorified secondary school. A school should be judged based on their academic standard. well I'm not surprised, this is Nigeria, even some Nigerians see Saraki as a messiah

so what is wrong with the academic standard of unilorin? u are right that it's a glorified secondary school not because of its standard but because it doesn't allow for any social association, dress code, no more club boys n girls, n many more gave it that name. abeggy we represent anywia we go. my bestie who almost but cudnt make a first class in unilorin had a distinction, infact led her class in Loughborough University. so are u still looking for the standard?

Pavarottii:
And the people that are handle it about 80% are not kwarans?

n what has dat got to do with saraki? I graduated from unilorin in 2008 so I can tell u that the quality in unilorin is older than saraki's presence in ilorin.

Pavarottii:
Tell me a better school than university of ilorin wen it comes to quality?

I feel anyone that supports buhari till now is rather eating directly from APC or through appointed family member or else the person is totally insane. Have Nigerians not suffered enough under buhari.
Abi is it only that is in this country with the hardship, death, unemployment, inflation and retrogression in dis administration?

so saraki takes the glory for the quality in A FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF ILORIN? u must be the one insane cos my one vote is for buhari...am from kwara, saraki is a big scam.

nurshah:
Iam quit sure Buhari is older than you and possibly your parents ...whether orvnit you don't like him is inconsequential ,what is of course is the curse you bring upon your head when u insult elders directly or indirectly
Mind you also have my misgivings on him but that eieant mean I can just insult him even amongst my peers ..learn censure criticisms

some people lack home training...they simply don't value their parents. I can't imagine someone insulting my parent so I will never do same to someone else...KARMA is a bitch

Butterflyleo:
Saraki I take God beg you, manipulate the PDP primaries and make sure you become your parties presidential flag bearer.

We all want you to represent PDP

We go use votes flog you back to kwara and kwara people go use votes flog up you to suicide.

Sarafraud!

we kwarans go use vote flog am to ogun where he originated from.

femmjo:
So some people still want us to continue with this present situation of hardship everywhere without any solution at hand as a result of bad policy of the Government. Why do we like to deceive ourselves pretending that everything is well when it is not? Why do we like to be suffering and and at the. same time be smiling? Let us act fast to do the right thing before it is too late. A word is enough for a wise.

choosing saraki is not doing the right thing, buhari performed better than saraki did as kwara state governor...infact he is solely responsible for the underdevelopment in kwara n don't forget buhari didn't start this....dey, the pdp did.

BabaCommander:
He will definitely be the president, but he is not the answer, he help usher in the answer.

which president?

reuben79:
who is going to make d senate?who is political mafioso like saraki

we are battle ready for saraki in kwara here, it won't be business as usual come 2019...ilorin is hot right now #teamliberatekwara

behosgroups2019:
IF APC is not the answer to our Problems, there is no reason going back to the instigators of the problem.
I'm not a politician but I would do everything not to have PDP in Government in Nigeria.
The greatest tragedy that can befall a nation is for her citizens to suffer collective amnesia. I believe PDP believes Nigerians have short memories, if not, Ibori would not have been included in their convention committee and Jonathan would not have been allowed to talk (He ended up indicting himself as usual anyway).
For those who may have forgotten, kindly joggle your memories with the following words on marble and you will agree with me that what happened in Eagle square on saturday was nothing but gathering of rogues.
Happy reading:

1. I acted based on Jonathan's instruction - Dasuki

2. I didn't give order - Jonathan

3. I collected 350M from Dasuki for consultation - Iyorchia Ayu

4. I only collected $30,000 from Dasuki not N100m - Bode George

5. I got N4.6b from Dasuki for spiritual purposes - Bafarawa

6. I got N650M from Dasuki for my Abuja burnt office - Thisday Obaigbena.

7. I got N2.1b from Dasuki for publicity - Dokpesi

8. I got another N100m from Yuguda he didn't tell me from where - Bafarawa.

9. I gave N100m each to Odili, Jim Nwobodo Bode George and others - Yuguda

10. The president asked me to change N10B to foreign currency for PDP delegates - Dasuki

11. My boss asked me to get $11M from the CBN - Dasuki's account officer.

12. I got order from above to pay Tompolo N13B for Maritime university land. - Nimasa DG.

13. 950m was shared in my house -- Shekarau

With all this looting and many more revealed, some people are still shouting no sign of change yet, they even say it's political persecution.

But I believe, it is the right thing to do.
If you believe too, send this to other people to garner more support for the fight against corruption and looting in our nation. There must be consequences for such crimes otherwise Nigeria will not develop.

Recession didn't just happen, people looted Nigeria into RECESSION happening

thx for this piece...copied n pasted on my FB page...God bless u.

iammo:
you're really buying the idea that he really stays in daura before 2015 , daura is just his country/village home, and his ranch house, if you want to see his real houses you might have to go to abuja, kano and Kaduna. For his wife to own one of the best beauty parlors in abuja and all his kids schooling in abuja and UK, buhari would now decide to leave in duara after been the ptdf chairman in abuja. All na wash

...and d house is only seen by ghost shey? no one sees him when going in n out, no neighbor to debunk that...take it or leave it buhari has got no house in Abuja though it means nothing to me.

Egein:
Objective list of governors that are worse than the Kwara Governor:

1. Kogi Governor (crown prince of uselessness)
2. Imo Governor (just utterly useless)
3. Ekiti Governor (clown)
4. Bayelsa Governor (corrupt)
5. Abia Governor (zero infrastructure, dirty city)
6. Osun Governor (clueless clown. Indebted)
7. Delta Governor (nondescript. Zero performance)
8. Ebonyi Governor (nondescript. Zero performance)
9. Benue Governor (nondescript. Zero performance. Dull)

Thank you.

they are all better than my state governor, oh sorry manager...we don't feel him AT ALL

royal200:
Bcoz he don leave APC.. Then which award una go give kogi state governor.. Lol

even while in APC...fatai has always been bad...this has got nothing to do with party...I cud remember a thread here on nairaland where d op asked for 3 worst governors in Nigeria, alot of pple mentioned him...just ask someone in kwara to tell u one single thing fatai has done since almost 8 years now n sure u'l be shocked by d response u'l get.

Stranac:
north is the most backward region in Nigeria.. Nigeria is bigger than them.. illiterates and stupidity don't govern a sane society

their population matters alot... an illiterate one vote = a literate one vote

donnie:
Was Jonathan core Muslim when he defeated Buhari?

power of imcubency played out

Afamed:
May God hear the prayer.Saraki can only win in Ilorin , people tend to take the guy luck too far.

not anymore pls...ilorin ti change

TimFisher2:
Shut your trap!

abysmal thinking!

Saraki is the only candidate that can beat Buhari blue black

He has the aura of leadership

Very intelligent and goal oriented

Detribalized citizen,full of youth and energy!

I know you guys are praying so hard for PDP to give Atiku ticket

So you can all bring the sins of Atiku and floor him down!

it won't work!

Saraki is the right man for the right position

Thank you!

am sure u r not from kwara if not u won't be typing dis trash...he was a governor for 8 years here now come visit kwara to see with ur own eyes. after his tenure he kept collecting monthly salary from a state that can't pay workers better save ur energy cos even for here for kwara he no go enter bubu will beat him blue black...we r patiently waiting...#teamliberatekwara

Racoon:
Rather the DSS & its weapons deployed themselves into the NASS to help APC effect a undemocratic change in the leadership of the senate.This government is yet to Nigerians the truth about this saga.Daura cant act alone.
Meaning Daura can organize a coup without the president/presidency knowing.Does the government truly understands the full implication of this statement
Meanwhile as for the IGP, abeg who deployed the policemen stationed same day in the NASS siege & what were they doing too

with pdp senators on ground?

exporters101:
Politics is a game of who's smarter

They raised alarm about APC wanting to Impeach Saraki and he received self pity now APC is raising alarm about PDP wanting to Impeach Buhari

u are right, When They OutSmart FG, The Narrative Is "Buhari Is Dull"
When FG Returns The Favour, The Narratives Change To "Buhari Is A Tyrant"

itu404:
So painful that some Nigerians lie so much they no longer believe in truth even if you give them details.... show us the accounts frozen they can not but keeps saying they did convenient for them to smear the opposition

U JUST NAILED IT...God bless u

ejihand:
Tufiakwa!!!

This govt keep on disgracing themselves every hour. Soon APC will deny they are political party but pressure group.

Surely, this govt has no honour left to protect.

Am shocked this is all u cud say....why didn't efcc deny dat of benue..we all shud rise against false allegations n u are spitting trash...they even asked for the details of the account frozen, why not wait for a response before this...hating a political party shud not affect ones reasoning.

Butterflyleo:
Ignorance will not cripple you. Udom came to power using all of Akpabio structures. Akpabio made him virtually become governor almost unopposed.

Same akpabio can cripple him. Also know that akpabio now has federal might behind him same way fayemi got federal might behind him and ousted the PDP government in Ekiti.

Let sarakis governor go and vote for him in kwara.kwara people are saying they no longer want saraki or anything he represents.

If the PDP chairman in kwara could decamp to APC along with all PDP political structures in kwara then know that Its all over.

Additionally, kwarans have said unanimously that they no longer want Maigida or Saraki or Secondus or PDP. Are you ignorant?

YES O WE DONT WONT HIM...I must tell u alot is going on right now to liberate kwara...let the internet keep hailing saraki, 2019 is around d corner this isn't anything to argue about, it's got nothing to do with buhari...pple are just tired of saraki cos hez done nothing for us, he's only good at draining d state govt Tru his errand boy maigida...saraki shud come n test his popularity by doing what Akpabio or wamakko did...wia he wants see that crowd pull for here.

asobo:
Senator Dr. Bukola Saraki the slayer and nightmare of the gullible APC supporters

if u know how did guy kept kwara on a standstill u won't be saying this, saraki slay wetin? he is only a Slayer in ur mind, come 2019 saraki go hear am for kwara #teamliberatekwara
