Godfatherism does not survive in the SESS region, we've seen it fail in Imo, Bayelsa. It will fail in Edo.

Sanchez01:
Not sure you understand the meaning of the words 'bloc votes'. There was no such as bloc votes in the South South in the recent elections. The difference between both parties wasn't wider than 400k votes, which should naturally be disturbing to the PDP as the region is supposed to a stronghold.

Plus, there's no such thing as 'SESS'. Don't lump the SOUTH SOUTH with the SOUTH EAST in the name of politics.

There is SESS which shares cultures, live side by side, vote in the same pattern and even travel on the same road to their lands. You know it and we understand why you refused to embrace it.

Lmao! Scam!

CYBERWEAVER:
Alright, Can dis news remove Bello for me?

No it won't. Your kogite brothers want him and he will rule.

EFCC have collected their own share. Expect the guy to keep his loot, and go underground.

Social media will continue to remember.

Kingsley10000:
Even GEJ has abandoned PDP.
APC leaders now pay thank you visit to Jonathan.
He ceded power to APC at the federal level and also ceded
power to APC at his own state.
What can Jonathan say he did for PDP? It is now in the record
of history that PDP died in Jonathan's hand.
What a way to pay back to a party that gave him everything.
[s]It is possible that in 2023, Jonathan will work against Igbo[/s]
presidency. He is setting a record that posterity will record
against him.

Muntula, Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan love Igbos and Igbos love him back. He gave Igbo a sense of belonging and we are not ingrates.

Aunty patience his lovely wife who is a pure Nwafor will continue to feed him with Ofe Nsala and Oha soup. He will raise the hands of a worthy Igbo candidate during campaigns.

It will be more heartbreaking for you now that he is no longer 'Jona.daft and jona.dull' to you because he supported APC's Lyon against a godfather's candidate.

raumdeuter:
Instead of embracing APC, why not embrace your own APGA and grow it like Tinubu /Buhari did

The OP is your brother, direct the question appropriately to him.

GEJ simply said no to godfatherism along with his people. Godfatherism doesn't work in SESS region regardless of party. The people of region are historically republican.

Support E-voting, prevent loss of lives, fill all loopholes for riggers. It's in the best interest of all politicians to have e-voting.

If dino had sponsored such a bill and ensured it became law, he won't be crying to the hague by now.

They better move that e-voting bill into law because they might be next victim tommorow.

Officialgarri:
I knew it. I think a due process must have been required even though it's taking too long.

They couldn't have released him to people like Deji Adeyanju or some group of protesters who would not stand accountable provided something goes wrong with Sowore or he flouts bail condition.

Rather than force and protests, I hope conditions would be met to secure his release because

Sowore will soon be our next president.

Grand delusions!

The yoruba sureties should summon courage and proceed to DSS. Bichi just wants to drink tea and have a chat with them...
Fear not north!

If they are not relevant, the country would have been a one-party state by now.

The SW are the one I see going back to opposition as PDP victory in Zamfara and Sokoto the head of the caliphate shows the north is abandoning the yorubas and re-aligning with the powerful SESS bloc for 2023 elections.

SW should first survive the onslaught on VP osinbajo by the cabals before talking about presidency.

SalamRushdie:
And the ladies had to come with their Hijab?

It is no longer hijab, it is now 'Ichafu' or hair cover which is allowed inside the catholic church.

Welcome from Islam to the Catholic faith.

Area4Area:
Attaché by force by fire

You don Shout am 1000 times. E no change anything for 2011, e nor change for 2015, e nor change for 2019.

Me and you know say e nor go still change anything for 2023..

Majority of your people love the state as it is. That's why the incumbent won.

Whatever the state is, kogi people think it is best for them. Bello will finish and still come to the Senate.

LegendHero:
Stop crying over spilt milk bro and face reality. Jonathan himself already forgave APC and he supported an APC candidate (Lyon) in the last election openly. The SS people are not hateful like you people, and they have moved on.

Lyon visited Tinubu yesterday and he called him his leader. If Lyon performs well before 2023, he will be used as the poster APC boy to make inroads into the SS and they will vote a Yoruba candidate. An Osinbajo will have at least 35% of the vote in the SS if PDP fields a Muslim northerner.

The usual phrase of Yoruba betrayed Jonathan in 2015 is not selling anymore, the SS people are more wiser and even Jonathan already moved on. If the SE'ners think they can continue to sow the seed of hatred among the SW/SS then they are just deceiving themselves.

I love that pics of Lyon, Dickson and Jagaban. It mean a lot for the alliance coming up soon. You will clearly see things unfold before 2023.

There have never been a alliance between the SW and SS, so there is no division to create. Enlarging Tinubu and Lyon's picture on billboards on the streets of yenagoa in 2023 campaign won't gather votes for you.

Edo did it with Oshio and Buhari this year, PDP still won the state.

Let her pay for 2 tickets.

Let the hate speech and social media bill succeed, we know the talkatives who will suffer from it the most. Definitely not an Easterner selling his wares in his shop.

LegendHero:
You are talking like someone that do NOT understand politics and how it works. It is a fallacy that the SS gives bloc vote to the PDP, that is not the case anymore since 2019. You can clearly see that Bayelsa result was APC: 118,821 PDP: 197,933 even in 2019 without an APC governor. Remember Bayelsa is the seat of the past Nigerian president and the animosity of the people against anything APC and BUhari sgould be much.

Why did Bayelsa people give APC 118,821 votes in 2019 for Buhari as against 197,933 for PDP? Stop mention bloc vote if you don't understand what that meant.

This is how elections are won in Nigeria:
Reduce the effect of any bloc vote in the opposition parties region. (Meaning let the election result be at most 30% difference)
Reduce free and fair election and cancel vote pf constituencies that you know you will record low vote.
Make sure voters turnout are low by frustrating registration process, and creating fear in people before election.
Checkmate the effect of high turnout by colluding with INEC to write less figures at your opposition stronghold.

I still stand on my last word, the SS will vote APC more with a Christain Osibanjo on the ticket that they would vote a Muslim Buhari. That is a fact!

The campaign slogan of 'na yoruba people comot our son for office' in Bayelsa and other SS states will effectively kill whatever hope you have of Osinbajo grabbing any reasonable votes.
Same osibanjo who even lost his own polling unit in 2019?

Let Osinbajo survive the onslaught of the cabal first before talking about APC ticket.

The SW burnt it's bridge with SS the day they helped to humiliate a SS presidency out of office in 2015. That bridge remains burnt except you want to deceive yourself with Lyon's victory.

Ogbonnaa:
Try to understand me, forget about parties, if election is conducted between a Yoruba candidate and an hausa candidate, let assume PDP brought out a Yoruba candidate and APC go for an Hausa candidate, we Igbos we vote an Hausa candidate who is in APC over a Yoruba candidate who is in PDP

The easiest way for PDP to die totally is to field a SW presidential candidate. Their supporters in the SESS will abandon them faster than the speed with which a yoruba man throwing Amala into his mouth. SESS bloc remains their backbone and helped them gather a good chunk of 11 million votes they got at the presidentials this year.

That 11 million translated 45.8% of the total votes cast.

LegendHero:
Lol, wake up and smell the coffee. Even in 2019, APC made an inroad into SS with Buhari as the candidate. Now tell me why Osinbajo a christain with the backing of the federal might won't make better inroad into the SS if APC fields him as their presidential candidate in 2023.

To refresh your memory this is the result of 2019 presidential election in the SS:
Bayelsa - APC: 118,821 PDP: 197,933
Edo - APC: 267,842 PDP: 275,691
Delta- APC: 221,292 PDP: 594,068
Akwa Ibom- APC: 175,429 PDP: 395,832
RIvers- APC: 150,710 PDP: 473,971
Cross-River - APC: 117,302 PDP: 295,737

Can you see the margin is lesser as against the 2015 election results? Don't you think the margin will be more lesser when PDP fields another Northerner in 2023 as some guys are murmuring within PDP?

Stop sugarcoating issues to feel alright?
Did APC lose in Edo or not?
I expected APC to win resoundingly in Edo since the national chairman of APC is from there but Oshiomhole lost there can you tell us why?

Yet you want us to believe APC will win Bayelsa during next presidential even with lesser influence than what Oshio has in Edo?
I won't be surprised Lyon himself will vote for PDP if APC fields a SWner in 2023.

Facts remains that at the presidential level, SESS bloc remains intact. At the state level the dynamics may change due to personalities, Godfatherism and in other interests.

I think the guy must have performed very well for them to have voted him.

We should not cry more than the bereaved.

Seems the north is tired of the SW and is therefore re-aligning itself with the PDP controlled SESS bloc in readiness for 2023.

They know that APC's victory in Bayelsa was more of personalities than parties, but because they have to look for the small grounds to destroy the SESS bloc which has been a source of sleepless nights for SW as they know the implication it is for their SW presidential ambition going forward to 2023, they keep lying to themselves.

They feel they can capitalize on APC victory in Bayelsa to claim 'SS hates SE and loves SW', so they can sleep better at night. My yoruba brothers are great in the art of self-delusion.

Even within themselves they know SESS bloc will still vote as one in 2023 and definitely not for SW at the presidentials in 2023 and it worries them badly. Unfortunately for them, Bayelsa won't be having Governorship election in 2023, so the bandwagon effect will still not help a SW presidential candidate.

Even Edo that is 100% APC controlled from top to bottom and closer to yorubas in culture and location was won by PDP in the 2019 presidential elections early this year. Fact!

Campaign experts will still remind Bayelsans that SW denied their son a second tenure and David Lyon won't be able to anything about than as it is the truth. Nobody will kill and snatch ballot boxes for any party that field a SWner in the SESS region in 2023.

KanuSE:
Today it's Sowore, tomorrow it may be you...

Think about it !

Yesterday it was Kanu, you mocked, masturbated, shouted 'kanu and beans'. Today it is your brother, you come dey preach give us.

Sowore's 4 year tenure in prison have just started. Falana can keep going to court, all he will is judgement worth less than toilet paper.

Tell Tinubu to speak on the issue and help him. If it were in GEJ's regime, tinubu would be running his mouth like tap water.

KanuSE:
He's likely to be getting more cases of igbos in his court when it comes to ethnic minorities.

We can smell your excruciating unhappiness and pains.

shogsman:
Fools fighting over somehow that probably don’t even remember what the country looks like.

You are definitely in excruciating pains. Write a protest letter to the state of California to marginalize him.

StaffofOrayan:
Rubbish !
Nigeria was put together by pen and paper and it would be separated by such, this is 2019! the day majority of politicians and elites sign up is the day you would get Biafra.
But if you think you can get Biafra and still troop enmass to every other region, the locals would have none of it, u already saw the example with the "quit notice" in the North.
So vote leaders that are sympathetic to your cause and start staying in your region!

Self-delusion is also a symptom of cognitive dissonance.

It is good agenda and very commonsensical.

It's all dependent on the weight of the candidate. How many heavyweights from Anambra are in APC.

Even Joe Igbokwe doesn't come to his constituency in Nnewi to vote. He prefers to stay in lagos and run his mouth. Yet he is the highest ranking Anambra man in APC.

Or is it tony nwoye the glorified thug that merchants violence.

Beat shege commot for him body.
