Obanikoro while declaring his intention to contest for the position of governor in lagos state vows to fight malaria head on lamenting that malaria accounts for over 70 percent illnesses in the metropolis,he also added that his major intention if he is elected governor is to end the dominance of asiwaju bola tinubu in lagos state politics tagging the APC leader emperor of bourdillon who he claimed has siphoned billions of naira through his tax collection company called alpha beta. He commended the efforts of the incumbent governor babatunde fashola in transforming lagos to a mega city while promising to focus on areas as alimosho,agege and other suburbs of the state.do u think obanikoro has any clear manifesto for the good people of lagos state?

Wo ori e ti peju!
All those kicking against GEJ in my Odua kingdom knew nothing. Hausa born to suffer re saying we people in the south (ibo, yoruba, ijaw, itsekiri, ibiobio etc.) are there slaves and you wan kill yourself over making one of them your president again. To make it known wella, at the just concluded National confereb, a southerner was told to keep shut nd labelled as thief and even recommended for an arrest by a Northerner when he rose up to speak about the broadened marginalisation of Local goverments ratio of the Kano state to Lagos state.
Immagine that!
That shows how collectively how the Northerners view you yoruba, ibo etc. So if you are among those verbally rubbishing GEJ in any way, haa I pity your life!

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday said Nigeria
would overcome her current challenges, just as he
regretted the emergence of Aminu Tambuwal as
Speaker of the House of Representatives at the
expense of Mulikat Akande-Adeola, the Peoples
Democratic Party preferred candidate for the position.
President Jonathan, who made the declaration in Ile-
Ife, while addressing a day summit, organised by the
Yoruba Concerned Leaders with the theme: “Nigeria
Development: Whither the Yoruba” extolled the virtues
of Yoruba people, describing their contributions to all
spheres of the nation’s life as “exemplary”.
He, however, hinged the inability of Akande-Adeola to
emerge Speaker to the decision by some people from
the region, who “thought otherwise”.
He said “one of the problems I face is the National
Assembly. Our party has arrangement for positions.
When a president and vice president emerge from
different regions, other offices – the Senate President,
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, the
party chairman and Speaker of House of
Representatives must come from different geo-
political zones.
“The idea is that when we are to decide, people in
these positions meet with us to decide on crucial
things. In that case we want every geo-politically
zones to be represented in that inner caucus of our
party.
Last time, it was difficult for me because I insisted that
South West must get Speaker but some of us within
South West didn’t want that because of personal
ambition and I am still suffering for that till today.
“That is why I am telling our leaders here that this time
around we must work together and ensure that
whatever position that is zoned to South West, we
must get and no one should rob us of it”.
Speaking further at the event held at Oduduwa Hall in
Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Ile Ife, Jonathan
averred that his administration had been fair to the
people of South West and assured that the import of
the strategic position the region occupies, as touches
on the economy of the country, is not lost on his
administration.
Referring to the assertion by businessman and
politician, Barrister Jimoh Ibrahim, who in his remarks
earlier, relied on the World Bank poverty ratings of
regions in the country which listed South West as
having 16 per cent while North East has the highest
rate of 52 per cent, Jonathan maintained that South
West region would continue to enjoy robust economy
owing to the active economic activities around Lagos
and Ogun states which, according to him, has almost
55 per cent of the nation’s economic activities.
“When Jimoh was talking about World Bank statistics
of the poverty rate in regions in the country, he said
South West has least in the country. In fact, Lagos and
Ogun contributed almost 55 per cent of the economic
activities.
So, we know where the wealth is, the infrastructures
there must be provided,” Jonathan said.

All these propaganda won't save slowpoke jonathan come feb 14 2015.hope inec produce our PVC's

darediamond:
The same piglike powerfull elements in our Yoruba region that waged war secretly gainst Abiola through Babangida and northern leders back then are still alive today.
They have much power now that we practice Presidential system as against Parliamentry that do pave way for masses to easily catch them with there dubious ideologies and acts.
Tinubu is one of those elements. There re others too.
How I wish Nigeria abolish the presidential system for Parlimentry system. The likes of Tinubu in SW, SS and SE will get hammered by the people with ease. It's sure.
::::::
Keep kicking against Jonathan and let those destroyers in the North take over, then history will repeat itself again. But this time BRUTALLY!
Do you think those born to rule jiahd war mongers likes any one us in the South?

you gather bunch of criminals and ex-convicts and call them yoruba leaders,this clueless drunk from otuoke think yoruba's are fools like the igbo's.don't worry,february 14 is around the corner,in the meantime,let me rush to get my PVC

A tour around alimosho and its environs shows that permanent voters cards collection is yet to commence while huge crowd wait hopelessly for INEC agents to show up,in many polling units visited,only names of eligible voters were pasted to enable people check if their names are on the voters register.it is not clear what caused the delay but information reaching me from the INEC office is that PVC's for alimosho local government is yet to arrive from abuja,I hope this not a deliberate attempt by the PDP led federal government to disenfranchise eligible voters in the council area which coincidentally has the largest voting strength in lagos state.

idumuose:

It's waste of energy beating an already dead horse.APC is dead on arrival.

nonentity,get a life

idumuose:
I have observed that so many people do not like APC both offline and online.Here on Nairaland,they keep running helter skelter like endangered species and complaining to PDP that they are not being given fair treatment.

You can never satisfy APC,they will always play the blame game,they will always play the victim when in fact they are the assailant.

From Plateau to Bauchi,from Taraba to Adamawa,from Gombe to southern Kaduna,from Benue to Kogi,to mention but a few states,APC has been known to be a lying and a deceitful party.Don't fall for their bait.

The same reason you have never been loved all your life,idle fool

This man might be tinubu's joker,let's wait and see

Firefire:
The immediate past Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, says he is the only person that can wrest power from the All progressives Congress in Lagos.

He added that he was the only one that could rescue the state from the influence of a former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who is believed to have been largely responsible for the success the APC had been experiencing at the polls since 1999.

Obanikoro said this while addressing party leaders and supporters at the state secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party where he announced his intention to contest in the state’s governorship election.

“It is time to liberate Lagos from Bola Tinubu, the emperor of Bourdillon. It is time for Tinubu to go. This state has been ruled by one man for the past 16 years,” he said.

The former minister told members of the party that it was time for all of them to be united and understand that they were all fighting one enemy- the APC.

Obanikoro would have to defeat his biggest rival, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, at the primaries next month in order to clinch the ticket of the party.

He, therefore, told members of the party that only a person who had experience in governance could improve the fortunes of the state.

Obanikoro, who has served as a local government chairman, a senator, a High Commissioner and a minister, urged members of the party to vote at the primaries based on experience, not sentiments.

He said, “Experience can never be purchased. This state has been ruled by one man for the past 16 years and I can tell you that only those who have served in government can make meaningful change.

“Those who don’t have experience cannot make meaningful change, they will only go there to start learning governance and we don’t need an apprentice governor in Lagos. See the quantum debt sustained by the APC in this state. Only one person can win and fix Lagos and that is Obanikoro.”

The governorship aspirant dispelled rumours that he was a violent man.

He argued that he had never been found wanting ever since he joined active partisan politics.

While pointing at his two sons that attended the event, he said, “I have been married for 34 years. Is there anywhere in the world where a thug has been married for that long? Look at my children, do they look like products of a violent upbringing?”

Earlier, the Chairman of the PDP in the state, Capt. Tunji Shelle (retd.), promised that the primaries would be free and fair, adding that no aspirant would be imposed on the party.

The same man that used his ministerial post to disrupt lagos state govt housing projects wants to govern the state,you must be dreaming and its better u wake up before its too late.its not your fault but that of slowpoke GEJ that fielded fayose in ekiti,omisore in osun,akala in oyo and now obanikoro in lagos.

Gabbysky:


First off, I am not from the SE but SS.
2. I have lived in Lagos, since birth long before you were born, and I know more about SW politics than what you think I know, so it's not just an opinion it's a stake.
GEJ needs no campaign in Lagos.
Wish I could contact you personally to remind you of this quote on February 15, 2015.

GEJ can never win lagos,the only votes he will get is from the igboks and the SS living in lagos.This election will be the most ethnically influenced in the history of elections in nigeria

wordcat:
Political Scientists in the house, pls explain this move to us; Is Mr. Speaker moving forward or backward?

definitely a move forward,the position of governor is even more powerful and respected in nigerian political climate because they decide who becomes the president,speaker,party chairmen,local govt chairman and even have deeper pockets if you know what I mean.

Franzeez:


Hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahhahahahha..................UP APC UP BUHARI







@ OP I swear you are funny











Bros I swear am still laffin @ ur political brain














Did you go to skul @ all, because its funny to come with such permutations


















My conclusion is that you are a foool



















And you should be ignored



























And before I forget politics is not done like that. Its more to it than you stupidly stated up there



















Finally it shows me the kind of people in APC fan base... Clowns

In as much as you have the right of expression,that right shouldn't infringe on that of others and this thread is not meant for mentally unstable TAN members like you

Please mention any achievement of the jonathan administration,no sentiments please.

_________________________________
Buhari has 22 States and Goodluck has 14 States, and
considering that the larger population of the
electorates reside in the North and Southwest, combined with the fact
that the
buharists are seriously considering a SS or SE as running
mate it stands to reason that Buhari maybe Nigeria's next President

PhockPhockMan:
Ask who, don't you know that Buhari is worse than Idi Amin.

just like ebele is worse than ebola

PhockPhockMan:
Can you Imagine that, after touring the whole of SOUTH EAST, I mean the whole of Igbo land, APC and Buhari supporters could not pin point anything Buhari did for people of South East during his reign as PTF CHAIRMAN. Instead of admitting Buhari's hatred for Ndi Igbo, or keep quiet, they resort to lies and fabrications.
Look at the picture below, See how APC members pasted a paper inscribed "NNAMDI AZIKIWE's COMPOUND" on an old PTF sign board that is obviously not in Igbo land.
They're using the picture to lie all over Internet, including nairaland,
https://www.nairaland.com/1999722/does-buhari-hate-igbo#28069145

Why APC is spreading lies without conscience. Can it ever make Igbos who consider them as their enemies to vote for them?
Must they insult Late Nnamdi Azikiwe just to campaign for Buhari?

There should be limit to every Nonsense

Ndigbo will never rule this country because you people are bunch of idiots,no wonder you destroyed ojukwu's party(APGA)after his death and followed GEJ like morons because you think GEJ will hand over to you in 2019.don't worry,let the north and the south west vote Buhari and see if GEJ will return to Aso rock.bunch of traitors

biafranqueen:
Sorry for the energy wasted!
I consider myself a progressive and I have seen progress in Nigeria under GEJ's administration.
APC has already dumped the General you people are going to break that man to pieces this time, shame on you!
Tell APC Management that Lagosioans want the Guest House Number 4 Oyinken in Ikoyi back in state control that property is valued at N450 million and Fashola has no right to sign it over in 2007, before he leaves he must give it back . You people are not even ashamed of yourself!

ethnic fool

Max24:
Its better for us to vote for someone who has always shown interest in political office rather than an imposter that is being pushed to contest by a godfather who intends to use him for his own agenda.Ambode is just joining politics and so will have to depend not on his own political structure but on that of his godfather. That makes him susceptible to manipulation and control by the godfather. His ultimate loyalty will be to the godfather and not to the people. These godfathers deliberately go for technocrats that have no political structure. The same happened to Fashola. When he attempted to free himself they almost impeached him using the True Face of Lagos, or has people forgotten? Obviously, he ended up conceding to his godfathers demands at the expense of commoners. No wonder Fashola does not know his political future after being a Governor of Lagos for 8years. He was never in control politically. Note, the godfather that nominates the governor fills the legislature with his nominees also. So Ambode will be no match for the hawks that will surround him even if has good intentions. So its better to vote for someone who has always been in politics with his own structure no matter how small the structure is. That way he will be directly responsible and accountable to the people and not to any special benefactor. Am not for any party in particular but for a self-made politician. And there are many of them we can pick from--- Jimi Agbaje(he has always shown interest), Ganiyu Solomon, Leke Pitan, Obanikoro, Supo Shasore,etc.

point of correction,akin ambode is relying on the structure of the APC in lagos state.secondly,he is more experienced in administration after spending almost 30years in the public service, than mr jimi agbaje who has never been there.thirdly,if tinubu is a god father then what do u call bode thief and ogunlewe who brought jimi agbaje from the DPA few months ago to contest for the governorship ticket,is that not imposition.pls let us be factual in our analysis

I don't understand the fuss about this jimi agbaje guy,has he held any public office before?,what track record in public service does he have?what structure does he have on ground?,what structure and popularity does his so called god fathers(bode george and ogunlewe) have?how connected is he to the grass roots?what track record of good governance does his party(pdp)have at the center?,what are his manifestos for lagos except letting okada and danfo drivers continue their recklessness.lagos state will never fall into the hands of a political party that has destroyed nigeria whether GEJ and his tribesmen and cohorts like it or not

No news for now,everybody is just speculating

Our religion places the supreme happiness in humility,lowliness and a contempt for worldly object whilst the other on the contrary places the supreme good in grandeur of soul,strength of body and all such other qualities as render men formidable.Religion makes men feeble,and caused them to become prey to evil minded men,who can control them more securely,seing that the great body of men,for the sake of gaining paradise,are more disposed to endure injuries than to avenge them .A word is enough for the wise
