James Ibori still calls the shots in Delta politics

[color=royalblue]It is only Peter Odili that I can't say what happened to him thereafter.

Oasis007:


You're definitely a Man of God.

[color=royalblue]My only headache with politicians and people in power is their inability to serve....Deliver the basic for your people.

There's no how you would not want to build and assume control of your territory, as a politician.

Even if you select based on merit, you still expect loyalty from them. Indirectly, its godfatherism. [/color]

[color=royalblue]Godfatherism and Politics can never be separated.

Na the honest truth be that[/color]

BlueRayDick:
Well, the latter is what pained APC faithfuls hope, but let's wait and see what the future will bring towards Aregbe's way

[color=royalblue]Why you dey defend Aregbe like this?

I have this feeling you are part of his structure, or someone you know is a beneficiary [/color]

BlueRayDick:
Me and u no dey their inner caucus meeting, even the party people here on nairaland are not privy to some of these guy's meetings where concessions are made and critical party decisions are made.

Aregbe has not scattered the party, he has only frustrated the ambition of the candidate he does not prefer. APC is still a very strong party in Osun State, Aregbe will definitely have his game plan. Let's wait and see.

[color=royalblue]I didn't mean scattering the party.

The relationship between his structure and the rest has been burnt.

This can either make him, or mar him (likely the latter) [/color]

BlueRayDick:
LOL

So Tinubu handpicking Lagos state governor is about the party and not the man's quest to hold on to power for his own interests?

[color=royalblue]Well, I think the two situations are different.

Tinubu put Aregbe there. Na the finger wey feed am be that.

Even if Aregbe wants to become Lord, no be to scatter am. [/color]

Oasis007:
APC must have learned their lesson. Reconciliation gonna be taken seriously now. Tinubu, perhaps, assumes SW Votes already in the Bag, definitely Osun Results gonna make him sit up and do the needful.

By the way, LP are lowkey PDP Members. They're simply disguising and most of them gonna vote Atiku.

[color=royalblue]Very true[/color]

[color=royalblue]Thanks Larride, Raumdeuter and Oasis007

Well, unless Aregbe is planning on retiring entirely from politics, this is not a good way to stay relevant.

If APC calls his bluffs, na game over[/color]

GloriousGbola:
He should be happy that tinubu is allegedly not vindictive. Otherwise, let Tinubu enter aso rock, efcc go dust aregbe file sharp sharp

larride:
If you look at it in some ways. Adeoti from Iwo is Aregbe preferred candidate,

The issue go back to 2014 when Aregbe was looking for 2nd term, made a lot of concessions to break Omisore group which included Isiaka Adeleke. Isiaka Adeleke decamped to APC with arrangement that if power goes back to Osun west, Isiaka will get the ticket. Isiaka was a former Gov of the state and the senator of Osun West then. Unfortunately Isiaka died in 2016 or so, Ademola Adeleke (The Gov elect) asked for APC ticket to replace his brother in the senate, Aregbe refused and pushed him out of the party.

Ademola Adeleke decamped to PDP and won the senate seat and the rest is history.

[color=royalblue]Na wa.

So what is going to be Aregbe's profit now with this loss?

He has no spot in PDP. His party has lost control of the seat.

So wetin him gain now?[/color]

Oasis007:
Oyetola was actually forced on Aregbe. He's never his choice to succeed him. Aregbe wanted his Successor to be picked from Osun West. He believed it's their turn, coz both Osun East and Central had served.

Oyinlola and Akande are from Osun Central and they both spent 11yrs in power. Aregbe is from Osun East, and he spent 8years. Guess what? Oyetola is from Osun Central as well.

Osun West felt cheated and decided to work against the Party. Though the plan was given the Ticket to Isiaka Adeleke but death took him. Ademola Adeleke demanded the Ticket but it wasn't given to him, hence he decamped to PDP.

[color=royalblue]What zone are the Adeleke's from?

Modified: So Adeleke is partially fulfilling Aregbe's plan.

I get it now[/color]

larride:
This is unfair to Oyetola. The single school uniform was a ill thought plan by Aregbe that generated alot of controversy. The people were clearly against it and it was right for Oyetola to reverse it.

Aregbe merged alot of schools together, merge Christian's and Muslim missionary schools together, merge schools from LG together and students had to trek or go long distance to their new school. Another ill informed plan.

Oyetola completed alot of roads that Aregbe started, his problem was he didn't go ahead to collect loan the same way Aregbe did for infrastructural development but instead chose to build with what the state generate and their allocation. He reversed the half payment of salaries that Aregbe started and didn't owe a single salary during his tenure. What he owed were arrears from Aregbe time.

Oyetola is a fine gentleman who refuses to invest in PR to market his work.

[color=royalblue]This kind governor dey for this country?[/color]

popizaino:
Pull the result of APGA in Anambra for both Gubernatorial and presidential elections let see why they don't have the same numbers.

Let's move on, my oga. That debate don pass [/color]

[color=royalblue]Hmmmmmm

I understand his grievance sha.[/color]

Oasis007:


Miles away from the Kitchen.

[color=royalblue]But the last election, Adeleke was very close and almost defeated Oyetola. I guess Aregbe was with him then.

The election get as e be sef[/color]

Oasis007:
Especially Osogbo and Olohunda LGs.

[color=royalblue]So you were giving us false updates from your situation room ba?

You knew all these, and you said it was still cooking[/color]

[color=royalblue]Like I said, nobody is saying Tinubu wont win the SW.

But trying to spin it as if the people don't have a mind of their own is funny.

One said APC performed in the Federal level in Osun State. Maybe fuel is 165/litre or dollar is 215 naira there.

Before the election, it was as if PDP won't pull 50k votes here. Dem don lose now, them don dey talk about competence. [/color]

GloriousGbola:
And lagos tanker drivers Union

[color=royalblue]Anybody that wants anything from the government should just get these guys to go on strike for a moment

Government go reason sharp sharp[/color]

BlueRayDick:
Aregbe na weyrey no be small

I guess he was irked by the fact that immediately his candidate lost the APC primary in Osun, his Alimosho people in Lagos turned against him and Mocked him claiming he doesn't even have the Alimosho structure again.

I guess he used this election to just show dem say even tho na Lagos be him original Base, he Don get solid Base too for Osun( Something Ambode lacked which was why “ o lule “ )

[color=royalblue]But looking at it objectively, did Oyetola lose largely because Aregbe didn't support him?[/color]

patrickmuf:
You guys have brought your rubbish football logic here...Why can't you guys be objective for once when analyzing things?

Aregbe messed up Osun so much so that it was always going to be difficult for his successor. The people were fed up and rightfully opted for a change...In 2012/2013 I was a youth corper in Osun and I saw first hand how clueless Aregbe is especially his education policies...I don't even want to talk about how he plunged the state into depts whilst not paying salaries or pension and when he pays, he pays 40% or thereabout...

Come the general elections, they'll queue up behind their own just the same way the East wil queue behind Obi...2023 is going to see each ethnic group queue behind their own...

When the campaigns starts, it will get worse and sadly so...

[color=royalblue]Based on your logic, the NW would queue under Kwankwaso ba?

Then the NE would queue under Atiku, abi?[/color]

Oasis007:

[color=royalblue]NUPENG and PENGASSAN seems to be the only bone that can hook this country

Get them to go on strike, and watch the FG call ASUU to a round table again for the umpteenth

afrodoc2:
With your years of experience on this subject matter i don't think anyone can really debate the facts with you.

[color=royalblue]You seem to have some facts, hoping for a debate

Care to share some, sir? [/color]

Amoto94:
This is a thread by Jarus corroborating what Popizaino said regarding 2023 presidential election.

Citizen journalist Jarus live in Osun

Yoruba sentiments still going for BAT on the streets of Osun

PS: They were booing those going out of the state on Lagos, thinking they came for elections. Had to tell them me I no dey among o pic.twitter.com/522EV6Ky5G

[color=royalblue]Nobody said Tinubu won't win. I don't even know how this one started this morning

Tinubu will win Osun[/color]

BlueRayDick:
Oloshoo no get feelings my brother, they just wan render service and get paid

[color=royalblue]Some dey catch small small feelings.

If you perform well, you'll get some discount during the next pre season game[/color]

LOL. Na wetin i see na. Maybe it is lack of fitness but the guy dey huff and puff to get back against Melbourne Victory fa.

[color=royalblue]Check your playback speed on YouTube

afrodoc2:
How does this relate? It would be significant if he defeated a Yoruba from a major party in Ondo Sate. That was 2 Hausa/Fulani competing against each other so of course one will win and the other will lose.

Anyway as things stand next year's election is between Tinubu and Atiku. Both Obidients and Obidi.ots are sitting on a long thing.

[color=royalblue]Any which way doc

If na Atiku, I go manage. My feelings dey everywhere like Oloshoo own [/color]

BlueRayDick:
Post a pishure of u in front of Ur ọba Palace and crop Ur face. E get reason why

[color=royalblue]If only he voted, Maybe Oyetola would have won.

He didn't

Remove 2 out of the total people that voted Adeleke, tell me the remaining numbers

[color=royalblue]Why are you like this?[/color]

Oasis007:


AD, PDP, ACN and APC have ruled the State since 1999. How many Party has ruled Abia State since 1999?

[color=royalblue]I have not taken anything away from your Abia Arguement.

I am just telling you that the optimally story doesn't fly everywhere.
