Dapo Abiodun only lost Abeokuta South. He won the five other LGs of Egbaland

There are 6 LGs in Ogun Central not 5

Sammy07:
If he picks egba, egbas are likely to be the next after Him.

I prefer Ijebu jare..

Deputy of Dapo is awori

We have huge population of Yewas in Abeokuta especially Abeokuta North and the Yewas are likely the dominating population in Abeokuta North and Ado-odo Ota .


Ogun West candidate will score considerable number of votes in this LG in 2027 .

senatordave1:
See,even from amosun,ijebu remo dont like apc.they prefer pdp maybe because of late kashamu.even in 2019,dapo struggled to win his region.it was egba that saved him.parts of ogun west usually vote against apc because of GNI.this is the first time they are giving apc bloc

GNI is actually my uncle and from the same LG but the reason why most of our people been voting for him is because of the quest to produce a governor from the Yewa Awori region. To be sincere , we have always been supporting other districts but they've not been returning the favour for once .


I believe we will get it right this time around with Yayi

Sammy07:
Wait Thought ipokia people are Aworis?
Somehow confusing there

Yeah, I know Ado odo Ota na awori base,more like headquarters of awori people

Ipokia are Yewas . They used to be part of Egbado south before and they have large population of Eguns in the LG

senatordave1:
Egbas failed dapo.they didnt even vote otegbeye.yayi and yewa saved dapo

Even ijebu /Remo failed him big time. He lost his LG to LADO and it's the same LG Osinbajo voted

senatordave1:
Seems egbas are the largest.odogbolu and ogun waterside are ijebus or remo

I can't say which is most populated among Ogun East and central because I never give it a thought but I know the next ogun governor is coming from the West and YAYI is the most likely to clinch it

senatordave1:
Only ota? I know there are egbas indigenous to ota

Yes , Egbas are laying claim to some towns in Ado-odo Ota but the remaining 4 LGs are 💯 Yewa

Sammy07:
Yewas are awori people

Yewa actually owned 4 out of the 5 LGs in Ogun West and Aworis can only lay claim to Ado odo Ota LG alone

senatordave1:
Sorry out of the 5 lgas of ogun west,I know egbado north and south is yewa.which one is awori

Ado-odo Ota .


Yewa North and South, Imeko afon and Ipokia are the Yewas

"GOVERNOR ELECT BENUE STATE' 😀😁😀

Who knows, he may even decide to
get a wife.


What do you think❓

This is likely the handiwork of the outgoing administration because immediately he's announced as the winner of that election the state government is mandated to give him an official car and beef up security around him . I am suspecting this is the official car issued to him by the state government

Deltafirstson:
No less than 20 people have been tipped to form the cabinet of Nigeria’s president-elect, Bola Tinubu after he alluded on Thursday that competence rather than politics will weigh heavily on his choice of cabinet ministers.

The job of Nigeria’s president easily passes as one of the toughest in the world and Tinubu has declared that he is not unmindful of the challenges he and his team face.

Thus, to effectively discharge his duties as provided by the constitution, Tinubu has stated that he will hit the ground running by constituting a cabinet that will help him to run the machinery of the Nigerian state.

The people who are being speculated to make his cabinet include:

Babatunde Fashola

Among the names that have been mentioned to be part of Tinubu’s cabinet, Babatunde Fashola tops the list, as a likely candidate for the office of the Chief of Staff to the President, based on his vast experience, age and strength of character.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria was the governor of Lagos State between 2007 and 2015. Before then, he had served as a Commissioner and Chief of Staff to Tinubu where he helped the then government of Tinubu to succeed, as Lagos State Governor, from 1999 to 2007. Little wonder, he was made to succeed Tinubu from 2007 to 2015. After his tenure, he was appointed, first as minister of power, works and housing and later Works and Housing, by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Fashola was the Director, election planning and monitoring of the APC presidential campaign council.
Having been a key part of Tinubu’s success story in Lagos as governor, and having been governor for eight years and minister for almost eight years, his wealth of experience is expected to stand him in good stead.

Nasir El-Rufai

A former director-general of the Bureau for Public Enterprises (BPE) and minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and about to serve out his eight-year two terms tenure as the Governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufai is primed for appointment into the Tinubu cabinet as the president-elect himself told the Kaduna helmsman that he should not go out of the country after his tenure but stay to serve the country.

To some within the Tinubu circle, El-Rufai is itching to again mount his former seat at Area 11, Abuja, the FCT Administration Headquarters. Those in the know of things, said the Kaduna governor intends to continue with and complete his dream of achieving the FCT master plan which he started decades ago. While his actions came with pains, many believe it was good for the development of Abuja as the nation’s capital.

Festus Keyamo

Keyamo is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and current minister of state for Labour and Productivity. The Delta born constitutional lawyer had served as the spokesperson for President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election in 2019, the role he played in Tinubu’s campaign organisation.
There are strong indications that the lawyer would be a member of the Tinubu cabinet as a sort of reward for defending his principal (s) against all odds. Also, Keyamo would be bringing his wealth experience in the legal field and public speaking to promote and project government policies for the buy-in of the governed.

Wale Edun

The former Lagos State Commissioner for Finance was nominated by Tinubu for ministerial appointment in the first tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari but that was scuttled by certain political intrigues. Now that his boss will be president himself, Edun is in a vantage position to be in the cabinet.

Edun’s background in economics, public finance, international finance, banking and corporate finance at both national and international levels, make a compelling case for his choice as the finance minister.

Edun’s interview with the Africa Report last month provides an insight into some of the policies he may pursue as finance minister.

He showed his strong resistance to the continuation of the petrol subsidy, multiple exchange rates, revenue leakages in the oil and gas sector and inefficient tax waivers.

Edun said this would save the country N24 trillion, about the size of Nigeria’s federal budget for 2023.

Edun has served as an economist at the World Bank in the 1980s before taking on a series of senior posts with investment banks in Wall Street, such as Chase Manhattan and the ill-fated Lehman Brothers.

Edun would later be appointed Commissioner of Finance in 1999 on his return to Nigeria after Tinubu won the governorship of Lagos state as the ruling generals returned to the barracks.

Dele Alake

Dele Alake was Commissioner for Information and Strategy to the then Governor of Lagos State, Tinubu between 1999–2007 and has remained with him as media aide. He is currently the Director of Media and Communication of the APC presidential campaign council.

Having remained and worked with Tinubu despite leaving office almost 20 years ago, the ace journalist and public affairs analyst is likely to be a member of his boss’ cabinet.

Hannatu Musawa

Hanatu Musa, the United Kingdom trained lawyer and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria is the deputy spokesperson of the APC presidential campaign council who working hand in hand with Keyamo and others on the media team projected the

Tinubu candidacy which emerged victorious at the just concluded presidential polls.

The renowned columnist, women and children advocate as well as relatively young Hanatu is likely to be part of Tinubu’s cabinet.

Hadiza Usman

 

Hadiza Bala Usman, a former Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports had also served as the chief of staff to the Governor of Kaduna State. She is presently the deputy director-general (administration) of the APC presidential campaign council, the team that delivered Tinubu as Nigeria’s president. The graduate of Business Administration and Development Studies is expected to be a member of the incoming cabinet.

Nyesom Wike

The outgoing governor of Rivers State, though a member of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is primed to be a member of the next APC government’s cabinet. This is considering the role he played in the emergence of the ruling party’s candidate, who against all expiations won Rivers state.

APC won Rivers state with 231,591 to defeat Labour Party with 175, 071 and PDP which got 88,468 through the support of the governor and he is likely to be rewarded with a major appointment in the Tinubu government. Wike had served as minister of state for education in the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Gboyega Oyetola

Gboyega Oyetola is the immediate past governor of Osun and a close ally of Tinubu who is also believed to have family ties with the president-elect. Oyetola is expected to be in the former Lagos state governor cabinet and with his experience as a former chief of staff to a governor and later governor, he would bring his experience to bear if appointed.

Ibikunle Amosun

 

The former governor of Ogun state and current senator representing Ogun Central Senatorial District, Amosun, stepped down for Tinubu at the primary election for the president-elect. He went ahead and supported the Asiwaju of Lagos to achieve his ambition. The combined experience of being a governor and senator puts Amosun in good stead to deliver well if appointed in Tinubu’s cabinet as anticipated.

Ben Akabueze

Ben Akabueze, is a Chartered Accountant and the current Director General of the Budget office for the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He was Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget in eight years of Tinubu‘s tenure as Lagos State governor.
He is likely to be appointed into the cabinet of the president-elect. If that be, the former CEO of NAL Bank Plc may bring his private and public sector experience to drive the administration vision.

George Akume

Akume is a former governor of Benue State who served at the same time with the president-elect between 1999-2007 is the current minister of special duties and intergovernmental affairs. The University of Ibadan graduate was elected to the Senate for three terms in one of which he served as minority leader. Akume has been a political ally of Tinubu since 2011 when he joined the defunct Action Congress, one of the legacies that formed the APC.
The retired permanent secretary is the only leader that delivered for Tinubu/APC in the Benue Plateau axis of the north-central, comprising the present day Benue, Plateau and Nasarawa states and may certainly be rewarded by being part of Tinubu’s cabinet.

Abubakar Badaru

The outgoing Jigawa state governor who withdrew from the race for APC presidential ticket for Tinubu is also the vice chairman (north) of APC presidential campaign council. It was only Badaru and his Zamfara counterpart that delivered for Tinubu in their states.

With his contribution to the emergence of the APC national leader as president and one of the outgoing governors retiring to the Senate, Badaru is expected to be in Tinubu’s cabinet. The accountant will be completing his eight-year tenure as governor this year.

Abdullahi Ganduje

Ganduje, an academic and Kano state‘s governor whose tenure ends in May this year is a strong supporter of Tinubu. In the face of stiff opposition, Ganduje managed to muster a fair number of votes for his ally in the last general election. With their close political association, Ganduje is being touted as one of those to be in Tinubu’s cabinet. With his experience in academic and public service as deputy and now governor of the country’s most populous state and centre of commerce in Nigeria is equipped to deliver on a national assignment.

Atiku Bagudu

The outgoing Kebbi state governor and chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) played a critical role in the emergence of Tinubu both as APC presidential candidate and now president-elect. He is undoubtedly the leader of the broom party in Kebbi and may be in the cabinet of the incoming president.

Bagudu who had served as a Senator but lost in another attempt to return to the green chamber, has amassed wealth of experience in both the legislative and executive arms of government.

Ibrahim Masari

Ibrahim Masari, a former national welfare secretary of the APC stood as placeholder for running to Tinubu until the nomination of Kashim Shettima as the substantive vice presidential candidate. The confidence reposed in him by Tinubu and his willingness to play a placeholder role position him for appointment into the next government.

Tanko Al-malkura

Al-malkura, a former governor of Nasarawa and Senator, representing the southern district of the north-central state is a close ally of the president-elect. Analysts had noted that the lawmaker lost his bid to become APC national chairman majorly because of his affinity with the former Lagos governor who was aspiring for the party’s presidential ticket.
Now that Al-malkura lost his second term bid to return to the Senate and his man is the president, there are feelers that he would be engaged in the government at the federal level. With vast experience in politics and business, the former governor and lawmaker has the capacity to deliver on cabinet responsibility.

Ben Ayade

The outgoing governor of Cross River and former senator is the leader of APC in the south-south state. Ayade who lost in a senatorial contest at the last Saturday general election is primed to be compensated with cabinet responsibility. The professor of biology had a stint as a lawmaker.

Ade Omole

Ade Omole is a leader of APC in Diaspora and is currently the director of Diasporan Affairs in the APC presidential campaign council. The London-based APC chieftain worked out modalities for Nigerians in the diaspora who have Permanent Voters Cards to return home to vote for Tinubu. He is primed for appointment into the cabinet of Tinubu where it is expected he would bring his international exposure and connection to help the government achieve its goals.

Simon Lalong

The outgoing Plateau state governor was the director-general of the APC presidential campaign council. Lalong whose tenure ends on May 29 failed in his bid for a senatorial seat and could not deliver his principal due to the political tsunami in Plateau that was championed by the Labour party.
Be that as it may, his efforts in steering the campaign that brought Tinubu victory could well help make a case for his appointment as minister.

Yemi Cardoso

With Tinubu’s resolve to have a strong cabinet and first class economic team, Yemi Cardoso who served as the first commissioner/ cabinet member for economic planning and budget for Lagos state, in 1999, is rumoured as the man that may likely replace Godwin Emefiele, as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor.

Yemi Cardoso, a financial sector and development economy expert, has over thirty years of experience in both public and private sectors.

Cardoso had served as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Citibank Nigeria and worked in several other banks, including the Citibank, Chase and Citizens International Bank.

He is credited to have written and monitored the implementation of the blueprint which catalysed economic development in Lagos State, turning it into world’s sixth largest megacity.

Yemi’s first degree is from the University of Aston, United Kingdom and his second degree from Harvard University, USA.


https://businessday.ng/paywall-free/article/tinubus-cabinet-may-feature-these-20-names/

Most of the names on this list won't make the ministerial lists especially those ex governors . They will end up as ambassadors or board Chairmen of parastatals .


I know Dr Betta Edu is a sure banker on the list sha

garfield1:
The loss of yobe was surprising and then kaduna also.I wonder if the govs sabotaged tinubu

Tinubu was obviously sabotaged in Yobe state . I think there was last minute rigging in favour of Atiku in some of the northern states if not he would have finished 3rd in the contest

Collinstj07:
1. Provision of the 55 Mega Watts Ossiomo Power Plant and Azurra. Almost entering the next phase for connection to homes, commercial and industrial centres.

2. Establishment of Edo Creative Hub and Edo Tech Park.

3. Modular refinery coming on stream very soon with the potential for creating over 1,000 direct jobs and many more thousands of indirect jobs.

These are all the projects he used to hoodwink the Edolites during his campaign for second time and I am surprised he's still using them to campaign and they're still not yet completed up till now

garfield1:
Lie.he didnt make 25% in rivers,crs,edo

I don't even think he can get 25% in Kano with that results

WATCHOVER:
How? With all decency is PDP supposed to feature Atiku as their candidate? The PDP is a stupid party, 2019 election 70% of the vote Atiku got in the election was from the current Obi Supporters.
Atiku and Ayu should ow their heads in shame.
Tambuwa is a slowpoke. Gov Wike of Rivers will suffer
Youths are watching, this protest that will occur if INEC does not correct itself, God knows the Military can't help them.
Airports in the federation will be forced to shut down.
The revolution will start now

You can't call for revolution after losing at the poll . If you try it na treasonable offense o.

BluntTheApostle:
See love. Pure love.



Tinubu is loved. He doesn't need to pretend like some people.



Can't wait for Saturday.

I am wearing native to work tomorrow with my cap with Tinubu logo . And for your information, I am outside Lagos

Irloran:

renderme:
This is a BIG FAT LIE please. Go on youtube type 'tinubu drives around lagos in campaign bus tvc' you will see videos from 3 months ago. They drove campaign bus to teslim balogun stadium at the star of teh campaigns. They announced roadblocks for that day too. Same as they are doing today.
They started APC presidential campaign in Lagos and ending in Lagos.- FACT!
Its your Obi dt copied open rooftop drive to campaign.

Are you minding those evil children ? They believed politics started just 4 months ago 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.


They are claiming they initiated campaign marches all over the place but I participated in the Tinubu led 1million man March on the mainland for Buhari in 2015 and I just laugh when I hear them yarning nonsense

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rlnv_hqafZU

garfield1:
Mostly conducted in urban areas.once you get to the rural areas,you hardly find obi fans.the apc structure will supprws his votes

Are you minding those ones ? I reside in Abeokuta and I can tell you for real Tinubu will clear this town . All these street polls are arranged and manipulated

FuckFuckPastor:
Did you watch the video? Stadium is full. More people are still trooping in. You can see how saturated with sea of heads the stadium is.

Stadium full but people are still trooping in That means it was never full before now .

[quote author=sanusideunifier post=120645712]In the trending video on Twitter, Tinubu was seen asking the people around him "ta lo ba chopper pa da lo?" (Meaning, who went back with the chopper I just came down from?)


Guess what? The chopper was right in front of him..

Everyone around him was shocked, including the APC woman leader, Edu, who claims to be a certified doctor. People around Tinubu had to correct him by pointing to the chopper.

What more evidence do you need, Nigerians??

Watch the video here and I encourage you all to share. Tinubu is a mistake that must never be allowed to rule 200 million people.

I noticed there was a “seizure”, the woman leader of APC, @edu_betta was even shocked at the question. pic.twitter.com/tNmO6a91nc

Anywhere a heavyweight presidential candidates goes, campaign or not people will show more love . Oh I remember obi is not among heavyweight presidential candidate

Don't mind that thing sir , Peter Obi was in Abeokuta for his campaign rally and I heard he managed to get about 2,000 spectators

9jahotblog:
Osun State Office of INEC issues DISCLAIMER on BVAS machines. The Osun State Rec only explained the efficacy of Bvas machines in the poll. kindly take note. Mods should kindly move it to front page.

Take this to the tribunal na

SaiOba:
Ask yourself if you are making sense..
Telling Nigerians that Emefiele gave you just one Month shows how sensible you truly are.

When did they actually start distributing the new notes ? Forget about when it was lunched .


I am a business owner and I run businesses that run into hundreds of naira daily but up till this moment I have not received up to 20pieces of the new #1000 notes and same with the #500 notes . I only started seeing the new #200 notes around just last week

fergie001:
Ayade & the Dep-Gov's Zone nah

You mean both the governor and his deputy are from the same zone ?

Bayyajidda:
Use laptop and watch it, you'll see what I'm telling you. Few people with lots of large sized placards covering everywhere.

Forget about laptop or whatever . I am telling I was at the and the stadium was filled up with lots of people outside . This is even despite the fact that Amosun faction of the party stayed away from the rally because they have longtime issues with the current governor but they are working for Tinubu. I am Abeokuta based and I know what is on ground here

Bayyajidda:
Empty space.
Even in a supposedly stronghold?
Despite the billions wasted in crowd renting and importing?

Your eyes must be paining you. I was there live and everywhere was filled up . It was a massive outing for Tinubu today

Spandau:
No he won't. He will be effectively truncated by the Fulani Cabal. Like others before him were.

But he defeated the cabals mercilessly despite the fact they've been scheming against him immediately after the 2015 election. I have no doubt in my mind that Tinubu will do well

This is actually a very good news for Tinubu's camp . Imagine Ekiti PDP without fayose and Segun Oni 🤣🤣🤣. God bless the decision makers in PDP

Johnnyessence:
Why Tinubu will be heavily defeated in Yoruba Land in February 25th poll - Johnnyessence
Really, Tinubu will be heavily defeated in the poll.
1. the Elites in Yoruba land are against Tinubu bad leadership in Yoruba especially not involving in series of political debates in Yoruba land. The elites find a move where they compare Buhari with Tinubu style of leadership. Especially when Buhari was dodging debates and interviews from journalists in 2015. Don’t forget that Buhari case of avoiding debates in 2015 wasn’t worst than what we see it in Tinubu APC presidential flagbearer this year 2023. The Yoruba Elites aren’t supporting Tinubu presidential candidacy with this body language in avoiding presidential debates in the press houses.
2. Tinubu used Muslim-Muslim tickets in order to secure huge bloc votes in Yoruba land, with this moves, Yoruba Christians and Yoruba Muslims finds it bad in religious balance in Nigeria politics. In 22 century, Religious balance play huge role in Nigeria politics. Yoruba Christians both old and young electorates vowed to reject Yoruba Muslim APC Presidential Candidate Tinubu in the poll. Yoruba wants balanced Religious political figure in power in 2023.
3. The bad governance of Buhari in Yoruba Land will affect Tinubu sympathy votes in Yoruba Land. The great people of Yoruba land are badly affected of bad governance of Buhari government for the past 8 years in government. Upon the huge support of Yoruba electorates in 2015 and reelection of Buhari in 2019, up till today, Buhari has not fulfilled his promises in Yoruba land upon having A Yoruba Professor of law and a Yoruba man as his V.p. This will badly affect Tinubu and APC in February 25th presidential poll.
4. Tinubu sympathy votes has reduced tremendously since the poor outcome of his cousin, Oyetola in the last year July 16th governorship Election in Osun State. It really dealt with Tinubu sympathy votes. Infact in Osun State, Tinubu will lose huge chunk votes in Osun State on February 25th presidential poll. Osun state people see Tinubu as wicked and selfish man in the leadership position in Yoruba land. No Tinubu investments in Osun State upon the huge kickbacks he got from the APC governors every months.
In Yoruba Land, the Electorates preferred a foreigner than a betrayal Tinubu that loves to sell Yoruba people for a pot of porridge. Yoruba people reject that. That’s why in all Atiku Abubakar presidential campaign in all Yoruba land, Yoruba people troop out enmass to welcome Atiku Abubakar in the land. They love Atiku Abubakar and his style of politics in Yoruba Land. Atiku Abubakar messages is very clear to the electorates in Yoruba Land especially the Yoruba people.
5. ENDSARS massacre that happened on October 20th , 2020 is still in the minds of Yoruba youths and the old ones too. This incident will make Tinubu to lose huge votes of Yoruba youths to Atiku Abubakar of Pdp on the Election Day.
6. Bad Buhari economic policies and insecurity in Nigeria political space will really dealt with Tinubu Presidential candidacy. This is what Yoruba people are talking about much especially the youths that will pertake in the presidential election on February 25th presidential poll. The adults in Yoruba Land especially the pensioners and workers are frowned with APC style of leadership for the past 8 years in power. Tinubu will be rejected in the poll with this bad governance of APC.
7. Tinubu bad Health conditions will affect his voting strength in next month presidential election. People talk more of Tinubu health challenges, most of the people, both elites, young and old people I interviewed severally said they can’t cast their votes for Tinubu that’s a sick man and he can’t perform any magic with the health challenges he has.
8. Aregbesola-Tinubu clash in Yoruba Land will really dealt with Tinubu presidential candidacy. Up till today, Aregbesola campaign house in Osogbo never has Tinubu campaign pictures on it. This never happened since 2007 Aregbesola comes to Osun politics from Lagos State. Scheming out The Minister of Interior, Aregbesola from the Tinubu campaign council will really spell doom to Tinubu presidential bid. Infact the Top faction of APC in Osun State vowed to work against Tinubu presidential candidacy in Osun State and Yoruba entirely.
9. Tinubu refused to speak on restructuring, Yoruba elites frowned with this move by the APC government. Since 2015 Buhari led government came to power, they refused to adopt Jonathan confab reports on restructuring, the elites, Youths and adults. Pdp and other parties are talking much on restructuring, so far since last year, Tinubu never talks more restructuring. Tinubu will be rejected in Yoruba with his body language on restructuring of Nigeria. Tinubu will be rejected in the February 25th presidential poll.
I’m your friend Johnnyessence, I’m a political analyst, I love to fight for the People’s right. Speaking the truths to power is my concern. I love to support party that will do the needful in power especially fighting for the common man on the streets. I love to speak truths as it’s. Kindly follow me on my facebook handle here as @AdegbolaJohn and on Twitter as @AdegbolaJohn3. Thank you.
