dayokanu: So an Awoist Akande is now overseeing and defending selection processes within the ACN

dayokanu: Akande was deputy to Bola Ige

dayokanu: Yes it is

E.g in the UK brand of democracy Most PM's are chosen by consensus (Not sure)

dayokanu: Was Akande, Abraham Adesanya and others who chose Tinubu and other AD candidates in 1999 Awoist

dayokanu: The party leaders like Akande, Osoba etc who were prominent Awoists have their own way of choosing candidates

“If election within our party is what you are trying to describe as internal democracy, then we reject such idea. Can we impose when we are contesting against PDP?

Ola one: Since there is no age cutoff for it, a five-year-old could also head it, isn't it?

Katsumoto: If candidates are selected by consensus, why not have primaries then? That way, everyone has a vote and votes are tallied. That's much better than everyone meeting in Tinubu's house, Tinubu selecting a candidate, and all the donkeys present saying 'Yes baba, lion of Bourdillon, Jagaban, etc.' Consensus just means others nodding their heads like blockheads.

dayokanu: Is there an age cut off for the position?

Katsumoto: If there were no primaries, how did Solomon lose the ticket to Fashola?

ibkaye:

Demdem: Can u kindly be specific and back it up also. That will make ur post much more sensible.

Pukkah: Are you saying that Bola Tinubu had no hand or say in making his daughter the new Iyaloja? Even if it was not his decision or making and he was simply consulted by the Oba of Lagos or his daughter, what do you think he should have said in the interest of decorum and respecting the sensibilities of others? Or is the Iyaloja title hereditary?

I think this is not right.

Tinubu accused the PDP of being on a pre-emptive strike.

Joarams: Open your eyes...this is not ACN. It's a proper traditional title. It's like the Council of Chiefs (esp. the Afobajes' - "Kingmakers" selecting a heir to the throne (by their own fiat) and the public complaining that he's the son of the past King.

cherrykim: let us know your state.(Not your current residence, i mean your parents' state of origin)

Katsumoto: This is a wrong move that may backfire on Tinubu on more than one level.

It appears Tinubu is also surrounded by 'yes men'.

cherrykim: For those of you making derogatory and sarcastic remark about Ibadan. Let us know your own state too.Only Indegeneuos people of Lagos state, i mean indegeneous people not aliens, also people from River state can mock Ibadan. To others, you can't compare your place with Ibadan, talk of size, exposure to western world,development e.t.c.your places are full of forests,mountains, un utilized lands and most of your people have relocated to Lagos State in search of Green pasture.

eGuerrilla: This kind of power-grab betrays all the symptoms of megalomania.
The tipping point is not too far off now.

Desola: If true, then tinubu must be uprooted and all his future ambition in Lagos and Nigeria must be stunted!

What rubbish is this! We shall not be put into servitude! Lagosians must rise against this evil! If left to his own devices, tinubu and indeed ACN might end up causing us even more damage than the evil PDP.

We must resist this nonsense!

ajiifixing: AjumoSUP. Hehehhheheheheheh.

Laalamed: Because our business men know only oil and cement business. Our businessmen do not get sense, just to steal from govt money, always looking for bail-out.

Akson man: I'm only sad that indigenous Nigerian business men have not yet thought of cashing in on Nigeria's retail space and giving Shoprite a run for their money. Perhaps they are still learners!
