Tinubu, Fashola, CAN Agree On Christian Governor 2015 – Nairaland
SOURCE: NAIRALAND
The decision to present a Christian candidate emerged after due consultations with eminent Christian leaders and clerics who have promised to mobilise other faithfuls to vote enmasse for the party if a Christian emerges as gubernatorial candidate in the state.
The leadership of the All Progressives Congress after a thorough search have found a willing and reliable Christian candidate in Ayo Gbeleyi, a thoroughbred professional known for his exceptional brilliance and intelligence.
Since the searchlight has beamed on Gbeleyi, Christian leaders are delighted that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has not only heeded to their demands but responded accordingly. They had argued that Moslems have successively governed the state since the inception of democracy and Christians are bold enough to claim they can perform better if given the privilege.
It is just fair and equitable to allow a Christian to govern Lagos, given the fact that successive governors of the state since 1999 that democracy returned have been Moslems. Besides, they argued that the three Senatorial seats are occupied by Muslims.
The call for a Christian governor, observers of politics in the state reasoned is not to ignite any religious crisis but to ensure balance and equity. Observers opined that the efforts of successive administrations in the state in the areas of governance, accountability and reliability are not and should not be exclusive of faith or religion.
A thorough bred candidate like Gbeleyi, they posited, is equally suitable for the exalted post. With his pedigree and insights in public service, finance, procurement, construction, project management, etc, he is, no doubt, a round peg in a round hole. It could be recalled that he single-handedly planned and made a major breakthrough with his well-thoughout Public Private Partnership (PPP) initiative in Lagos.

Can you present a link to your bullshit story!

Feel free to post the name of your Representative, Senator, Local Councilman, or other elected official.

It doesn't have to be as comprehensive as mine. I got tired too - see the dearth of info re: State Assembly.

There was recently a thread where this was discussed; I can't find the thread, or even remember the title of it. So, here goes:

1) Do you know the name of the Representative or Senator for your state/area?
2) Do you know who your local Councilman/State Assemblyman is?

[quote author=ndu_chucks]Just curious: My post on the "Ask a Russian" thread in the foreign affairs section was hidden and the spambot banned me from that section because my post was written in Russian. I was simply welcoming the Russian in his language. We write in Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, and other languages without being banned. Would the mods please unhide my post and unban ndu_chucks in that section.

Thanks in advance[/quote]Foreign Affairs section is very dicey. Almost all my posts get hidden. I still have 2 that have not been released due to lack of moderator in that section.

If you post there, and immediately go to edit (like re-sizing a picture or correct a link) you'll get spambotted.
