APC gbole,o gbole!!!!!!! All manner of failed politicians are just trooping to APC. APC is now a dumping ground,no ideology,no principle. The leadership is just admitting all sorts. Nonsense!!!!!!

Fashola's failure are numerous but I will summarize in few words. Despite the collossal N6.1 TRILLION (Six Trillion Naira) which acrrued to LASG and all the 20 LGAs in Lagos State,less than 20o/o(Twenty percent) of State roads are motorable while 99.8o/o (Ninety nine percent) of LGAs are impassable. Why is this so?

ATIKU and his boss OBASANJO ruled the Country for 8 YEARS without making any impact except their MASSIVE and PRIMITIVE acquisition of WEALTH. Does he think Nigerians have forgotten? Does it lie in his mouth to criticize Jonathan Definitely no!!!

Its normal for students to protest anywhere theleaders goes. Jonathan is the first Nigerian President to allocate N200Billion grant to Universities. Jonathan is the first Nigerian President to establish 12(Twelve) Universities at a time. So whatever APC does, Jonathan will still win the Presidency because he has performed much more than Obasanjo.

Obasanjo is the most corrupt leader Nigeria has ever had. If not,how did he acquire the large expanse of land he has along Ibeshe road,Ikorodu. Obasanjo,tenure must be called to question.

Nigerians know Tinubu is always on drug,so he must have inhaled some drugs which made him high before he made his inciting statements. However,Tinubu must be told that he who kill by sword shall die by sword! He who preaches violence shall die violently. And let Tinubu also know that the miscreants who are cheering him on today won't be there for him tomorrow when all chips are down. A word is enough for the wise!

Obanikoro stoned at UNILAG? This is a lie from the pit of hell!!!!!!!! And the fabricator of this obnoxious lie must perish. I was physiacally present at the DLI whare he spoke on 'Students in Politics'. At the end of his powerful delivery,Obanikoro got a resounding ovation. And students in their numbers escorted him into his car shouting "Koro ibo,Koro ibo!!!!!!!!!

Obasanjo was just rabblerousing. He's dazed that GEJ is contesting against his wish. So Obasanjo wants to rubbish GEJ's government in order to pave way for his Party,APC. But Obj has missed it completely because Yorubas will forever appreciate GEJ for the ongoing expansion of Lagos/Ibadan Express road which he Obasanjo did not do for the Yorubas. For the road alone Jonathan is our hero! In terms of achievements Jonathan is far ahead of Obasanjo, I swear!!!!!!!!

Amaechi and others who are threathening war would definitely be the first set of victims. All reasonable Nigerians expects that APC would go out there and tell Nigerians what they will do to improve the lives of Nigerians not threatening violence at any given opportunity? Nigerians are tired of this indecent opposition!!!!!!

Senator Musiliu Obanikoro is the best candidate for PDP in Lagos State. He has enormous public service experience as against Jimi Agbaje who has non. The only problem is that both Bode George and Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe is that they don't see Senator Obanikoro as somebody they can control hence their determination to deprive him of the gubernatorial ticket. But they will fail!! Obanikoro is far more a Party man than Jimi Agbaje. Obanikoro is more ascessible than Jimi Agbaje and he has what it takes to rule a complex State like Lagos. To cap it all Obanikoro is a politician per excellence who will give APC and its godfather a good run for their money. Obanikoro knows what it takes to win an election and he understands what politicians go through and will never neglect them. Koro stands out!!!!! Barrister Kole Oyedele

Labour Party is correct with its observation. APC Leaders are displaying every traits of desperadoes in their utterances and body language. The interesting thing is that the President has been calm and displaying maturity in every way. APC should know that Nigerians are more interested in what the opposition will offer Nigerians but they are not doing that. The opposition leaders were calling Jonathan and other PDP leaders thieves but Nigerians know that even APC Leaders are bigger thieves so who is foolong who? What I can deduce from APC Act of desperation is that they are exhibiting PATHOLOGICAL FEAR OF LOSING THE NEXT ELECTION.

The defection of a political collosus like Osoba with 3 Senators,6 House of Representative Members,Deputy Governor et cetera means an irreparable loss to APC. Amosun and his cohorts may be saying somethingelse but they know within themselves that winning Ogun State will be an herclean task. Amosun is going,going, going,going,going.

What is exemplary about Tinubu? A man with questionable parental backgroung! A man with questionable educational background! A drug baron! A drug addict! A man who perpetrated unprecedented looting in Lagos State! If ALL the foregoing are lies but if true,canthe young ones emulate any of Tinubu's character trait? So tell Nigerians what is exemplary about the man! Absolutely except those who wants to collect his money.

Am amused at the way some armchair politicians are doing permutations as if 2 + 2 is 4 in politics,it doesn't work that way. There are factors that wins elections; 1. Interest. This is usually determined by political bigwigs. Every electorate has one interest or the other derivable from the personalities which forms a party. Only few votes on the basis of public interest,this is Nigeria. Osoba and the other political bigwigs who decamped to SDP have some cult followership whose interest are aligned with those figures. Amosun and APC has lost those followership which will definitely work against him. That's a great minus! 2. Popularity. Popularity is subjective. Amosun constructed roads in the urban areas,what about the rural areas? Has Amosun covered 20 or even 10 percent of Ogun State in his developmental efforts? When campaign starts,people will start to see the minuses of Amosun 4 years. Besides, popularity doesn't win elections all the time. 3. Institutions. Federal institutions like INEC, Police,SSS et cetera. Can Amosun control them when all chips are down? 4. Egba/Yewa/Ijebu dichotomy. This will also play a major role in dtermining who wins. These and so amny other factors will not allow for conclusion that Amosun will win in Ogun State. The factors outlined above are also relevant in Oyo and Kwara States. Kwara is even much more difficult for APC because Bukola's influence is not as strong as that of his father,I swear Bukola is just camouflaging as if he is in control. ALL the institutions he usually use to win elections may not be at his beck and call. Let's wait. I remain, Barrister Kole Oyedele

Its an irony that Tinubu could open his mouth and call Jonathan thief. Does he think Lagosians have forgotten his massive looting of Lagos? See below; 1. Alpha Beta Consulting which belongs to Tinubu was used to siphon about N200B (Two hundred billion naira) between year 2001 to 2010. 2. Oriental Hotel,by Lekki Toll Gate. 3. Stealing of N19Billion (Nineteen Billion Naira) proceeds of LASG Investment in ECONET. This sum was exchanged to dollars and taken to Lebanon with the help of Chagoury brothers. 4. Fraudulent conversion of LASPOLY land (where TVC) for personal use. 5. Fraudulent conversion of LASG Governors Lodge at Bourdillon and the LASGguest house Queens Drive all to personal property. 6. Several other stealing committed by Tinubu.

Fashola as the Governor of Lagos State has also done nothing for Lagosians,therefore he does not deserve accolades and APC does not deserve to rule Lagos beyond 2015. Lagos State Government under Fashola has spent over 6(Six) Trillion Naira in the last 7 years with little to show for it. 1. N800,000,000,000(Eight hundred Billion Naira) Statutory Allocation from the Federation Account). 2. N3 Trillion Naira Internally Generated Revenue. 3. N2.6 Trillion Statutory Allocation to Local Government Areas from the Federation Account. 4. N450 Billion Local and International Debts. 5. N80 Billion grants from Ecological Funds, Universal Basic Education et cetera. 6. Undisclosed dividends on Lagos States Investments. Fellow Nigerians,in spite of the collossal amount of money, less than 10(Ten) percent of Lagos State roads are tarred and over 99(Ninety nine) percent of LASG Local Government roads are not motorable. Aside from this what we see around are several dilapidated public Schools structures. If the foregoing and other failures stares us in the face in Lagos State,does it lie in the mouth of Fashola to criticize the Federal Government??

El Rufai's brain should be thoroughly examined to know the level of his sanity. Since Obasanjo raised alarm over the supposedly training of snippers,how many political opponents of GEJ have been assassinated? Despite the unguarded abuses and threats of violence by APC Leaders not one has been arrested let alone assassinated. Politicians like El Rufai,Rotimi Amaechi,Kwankwanso should be careful so as not to set this Country on fire. Barrister Kole Oyedele

NLC is definitely ignorant of the Provisions of the Constitution. While The Constitution makes express provision on the condition for the tenure of the members of the Legislative arm of government,the Constitution is silent on the tenure of the Governors if they leave the Party which brought them to power. And that's why PDP was handicapped when Five Governors decamped from PDP. In a more decent society Tambuwal should have resigned from the Speakership the day he decamped from PDP to APC beause going by the provision of Section 168(g) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) Tambuwal lost his seat in the Legislature. The relevant question then is;can Tambuwal still claim the Speakership when by the provision of the Constitution he has lost his seat? My humble advice to Tambuwal is that he should honourably resign and desist from heating up the polity!

Who are these so called Northern Elders? What is their interest? What is the worth of their support for any candidate? Honestly,these are bunch of yesterday men who takes pleasure in overheating the polity. Can they dictate to their own people on whom to support? Is North one when Hausa/Fulani are the only one gunning for the Presidentcy. Whoever knows Unongo and Ango Abdullahi should tell them to go and enjoy their retirement quietly and desist from creating tension in the Country.

The Precedence cited here of a Minority holding the Speakership is untenable and unsustainable. Barr. Chief Ume Ezeoke of the then Nigeria Peoples Party(NPP) was Speaker on the strength of an alliance between National Party of Nigeria(NPN) and NPP. This alliance also ensure the appointment of NPP members as Ministers in the Federal Executive Council of the NPN led Federal Government of Alhaji Shehu. Shagari. Therefore,on the strength of Section 168 19999 Constitution Tambuwal must resign honourably because he has lost his seat in the House of Representative because he has changed the Party which gave him the paltform to get to the House.

If Tambuwal is principled as he want Nigerians to believe,he should be honest enough to resign the Speakership. Tanbuwal as a Lawyer knows the provisions of the 1999 Constitution. He cannot eat his cake and have a penny! Tambuwal should be honest with himself. APC as a party can never take it and APC should not expect PDP to accept it. How can the opposition preside in a House where the ruling party is in the majority? Haba,Nigerians should be honest!!

Amaechi is intoxicated by power. He talked so damagingly of the President forgetting that there is a day after tomorrow. Amaechi has overreached himself. As a Yorubaman,my advice for Amaechi is that he should stop taking the counselling of OBASANJO and TINUBU because at the nick of time Obasanjo and Jonathan will settle even if Obasanjo does not support Jonathan second time. And Tinubu also knows how to wriggle his way. Amaechi will be left ALONE. I am not a politician but an important point Amaechi must know is that no matter the level of APC propaganda Jonathan will WIN MAJORITY VOTES in the SouthWest even if by a narrow margin! Infact,with the combination of Obasanjo and Tinubu,Jonathan will WIN SouthWest hands down!! Quote me,Yorubas doesn't like Hausa/Fulani because they are always out to dominate every other tribes in Nigeria. Amaechi should be wise!!!!

This is not a news. Tambuwal is a known APC sympathiser. He has refused to attend ALL PDP meetings and functions since the begining of 2014. And PDP also did not visit him when they were in Sokoto last week because they knew he was gone. So nothing knew has happened. If Tambuwal is principled as he would want Nigerians to believe,he should vacate the Speakership seat because by rule the party in the Majority would retain the Speakership. However,let's see how it plays out,maybe PDP will act like fools by allowing him to retain the Speakership. Tambuwal cannot approbate and reprobate!!!

Amaechi is extremely desperate and he has turned his ambition to a "do or die matter". Amaechi needs to be told that there is life after politics,therefore his desperation is uncalled for. My advice to Amaechi is that he should thread softly so as not to squander the sympathy he has been enjoying. Amaechi is talking too much and his sympathy is waning. His Advisers are not doing him any good because the more he speak ill of GEJ,the more sympathy the President wins especially if the President continue to be patience as he is. Nigerians are already asking;why is Amaechi so desperate??

This is a lie. A mere propaganda to incite people against the Federal Government. Its unthinkable of anybody to insinuate that FG will ban Motorcycles on States and Local Government roads.

What Amaechi is doing is Seditious,inciting people against the President. He can only do it to a gentleman like GEJ. And that's why Nigerians should salute the tolerance and patience of GEJ. Amaechi as a Lawyer knows he is committing crime against the State by his incitement. If Amaechi is not planning a "coup" against the Federal Government why is he inciting people against the Government? At this juncture, in enjoin ALL Nigerians to call AmAechi to order before he invite Military Coup. Commonsense dictates that if he has problems with the wife of the President,he shouldn't have extended it to the Office of the President. Nigeria is greater than Rivers State and Amaechi put together!!!!!!!

Fashola has spent about N5 Trillion Naira within 7years in Lagos State yet 85percent of LASG ROADS are bad and 99percent of Lagos State LGA ROADS are impassable. What special achievements has he recorded to earn him Vice Presidency

Politics apart,GEJ government is one of the best in terms of Project Planning and Execution. That's why if GEJ should rule for another 4years Nigeria will experience greater development.
