Even when you have N1m you tell the whole world you are a millionaire without considering your assets and liabilities. How can you be more than Yoruba in their own land?

Agbaletu:
I know many Igbo that voted for Sanwolu. They believe that Sanwolu has better plans for Lagos state. Jimi Agbaje didn't even campaign the way Sanwolu did. Who will vote for him when he was campaigning on twitter and Facebook?

From the results announced for 15 local government areas so far, the All Progressives Congress is currently in the lead by a wide margin.

One of the LGAs with wide margins is Mushin, where APC polled a whopping 51,899 votes to defeat the Peoples Democratic party, which secured just 8,751 votes.

Also, in Apapa LGA where Jimi Agbaje, the PDP governorship candidate in Lagos hails from, Agbaje polled 5,959 votes but was no match for Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the APC governorship candidate, who secured 20,469 votes.

In all, after results from 15 local government areas, APC has polled 522,140 votes while PDP has 142,392, leaving Agbaje with the tall mission of closing up a gap of 379,748 votes with five local governments to go.

What relates Abba's election and Uwarshi?

Gbenga Daniel, a former Governor of Ogun State and Director General of the Atiku Abubakar presidential campaign organisation, has directed the supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Remo, Ogun State, to vote for Dapo Abiodun, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State.

Daniel made this known in a statement he issued on Thursday.

The PDP governorship candidate in Ogun State is Buruji Kashamu.

However, Kashamu's candidature, which was affirmed by a court ruling in January, did not sit well with the national leadership of the party, which presented Ladi Adebutu as its preferred candidate in the state. A court ruling on Wednesday then reaffirmed Kashamu's candidature.

Making reference to Wednesday's ruling, Daniel said: "You would have noticed my studied silence in our local politics in recent times. I have busied myself with national politics, having served the state for eight years.

"I have also been very busy supporting the ambition of the son of our great philanthropist in Remoland to become the next Governor of our dear state. You, however, would have become aware of the court decision yesterday which did not favour him.

"Going forward, I have directed all our Structures statewide to cast all their votes on Saturday for Prince Dapo Abiodun, another bona fide Remo son despite current party differences. I therefore, enjoin all to please go and cast your vote on Saturday for Dapo Abiodun in the overall interest of our people."
