Dino is from Okun a.k.a Kabba.As it stands,if PDP mistakenly field Dino, it's going to be a smooth ride for Apc. There are many things I won't be sharing here anyway.

Wow really.thanks.

Tareq1105:


What you failed to understand is that Kogi Central 5 councils doesn't have the voting strength if Kogi East 9 councils and West 7 councils teamed up.

The voting strength of Dekina local councils is enough to cancel the entire Kogi Central votes.

Lie.

Okene's population is much greater than that of Dekina. And what is voting strength if not population. Though I agree generally, Igala enjoys much higher population superiority ahead of Ebira. Igalas have 9 LGA under its full control. But the 5 LGA under Central Zone don't belong to Ebiras. Ebira has just Okene, Adavi and Okehi LGA. The other two, Ajaokuta and Ogori Magongo are not under the Control of Ebira.

Acidosis:


Igalas are more in Lokoja because they spent at least 20 years planting their brothers, sisters, and ghost workers in the entire head offices of government agencies.

If Audu had not died mysteriously, they will still be in Lugard House, ruling and running the affairs of the state till this very day.

The worst bigots any "minority" tribe can wish for.

The deputy gov is Okun??

If yes, then probably Ebira and Okun relationship will continue

I heard they removed Muri and he was the one Kogi East voted massively for.


Kogi should be rotating the governors like Delta.

mistilink1:
They are not the majority,all those jargons are pushed up by their political leaders during their inglorious reign in power. By the grace of God, Ebira will show them pepper. I can see wailing and gnashing of teeth in some of their social media group. After Ebira 16 years,Okun people will also complete their own 16 years,Then, the three major tribes can now sit down and discuss way forward on how Governorship rotation will be handled among the major ethnic group.And if agreed,it won't still start with them, because they are not to be trusted.

This arrangement makes sense honestly

yinkus6750:
Yahaya Bello on course of installing his successor.
Politics keeps amazing me, a not well known candidate, overshadowing Almighty contestants like the deputy governor and Sam Adeyemi .
It is well

the deputy withdrew

babaolofin:


Has it helped them? Have you travelled by road to Abuja through their glorified villages called towns?

I have and I'm quite disappointed because kogi has a lot of potentials.

Actually in abuja, we all know sometimes the northerners favour themselves a lot in terms of getting jobs and contracts or scholarships. That's why in a lot of ministries you hear hausa being spoken all around. It's just that when people leave kogi they don't want to return to develop kogi. . They would rather stay in abuja or karu nasarawa. Even Bello governs from Abuja as I heard.

Lokoja has a lot of potentials. The crowd that stops to take a break from travel is a huge market that hasn't been fully taped into.

You're a bad guy

AdiscoPele:
If PDP presents an Igala candidate, I can bet you that the election will be hard fought and might go to PDP. Or a popular Okun man will also win with the support of the Igalas.
Bello was foolish(apology) for presenting an Ebira man as candidate of the APC. Remember, he himself became a governor with the help of Oyegun and the cabals who were against Asiwaju Tinubu, because if INEC had declared the results of the elections before Audu's death was announced, Faleke would have been governor but the cabals influenced and delayed the result so that another candidate in this case Bello, who indirectly worked against Audu in the elections, will be presented by the party and deny Faleke the opportunity of becoming governor.
Now the cabals will be gone by May 29, and Oyegun is gone, so Bello might not get the Federal might he's expecting and if the PDP presents a formidable candidate, be and Igala or Okun, APC will surely lose Kogi.

Mind you, Kogi state has about 5k polling units and Igala alone has about 3k of the polling units.

These are just words of consolation. My brother this is politics, me and you know how it works now. Except you are not ready to tell yourself the truth. By the grace of God, you will be alive to witness Nov 11th gubernatorial election in Kogi State, maybe then, your songs will change to TRIBUNAL WILL COLLECT OUR MANDATE FOR US.

OneCandleAway:


I believe they consider themselves as northerners. They feel claiming and associating with north will help them in Nigeria compared to soth

You just believe whatever people write to defend their biases.
Ask him what is Oduduwa student meeting and who is the national president?
What we have in most schools are states students Union and town Union. I've never heard of Oduduwa, hausa, Fulani or Igbo student Union.

i see gang up against the winner

seunmsg:


Nothing will make me support DIno Melaye for governor. Kogi has had it rough with Yahaya Bello already, only an evil mind will what them to move from Bello to DIno.

Lol. Indeed. You supported Bello for second term and now supporting his thieving stooge but Dino a Yoruba who have been seriously marginalised is the devil.
You're just deceiving yourself thinking you're smart.

Alhaji Muritala Ajaka was removed from the list, he's the main contender there.
He Won the primary not Yahaya Bello dog called ododo.

XAUBulls:

You are getting too verbally violent in your use of adjectives here Acidosis... this is what I don't like about your posts that have to do with politics even though you made some valid points.

Most Igalas are Muslims... What do you mean by Igalas

Speaking the truth to power requires violence. Everything you read from that post is the exact statement you'll get from an average Okun man. Anyone who says otherwise is only doing it to preserve a fake friendship with you or slave for your money. I don't do both.

You better leave that APC crook called seunnmg before he ruins your sanity. Someone that is ready to vote a dog just to preserve his party's dominance. Mind you, he is a nonentity in the party, nobody knows him

Guyman01:
Yahaya Bello installing another Ebira after his tenure is trying to play from the Igala handbook where one tribe retained power tenure after tenure instead of following the Delta State format which rotates power amongst different tribes and zones.
He is hoping to win the election by violence and cutting off federal roads to block INEC from reaching his opponents strongholds with voting materials as usual because he sees INEC as incompetent



Yahaya believes he will win even if he fields a baboon by rigging, thuggery, gangsterism, arson, ballot snatching, vote buying and not by credible elections.
Remember his slogan during his last reelection "dem go hear am tatatatata"

Wahala

Sammy07:

The deputy gov is Okun??

If yes, then probably Ebira and Okun relationship will continue

....And PDP will simply produce someone from Igala with another Okun deputy.

APC Produces Two Governorship Candidates In Kogi State.

The All Progressieve Congress (APC) has produced two governorship candidates in the party’s primaries that held across the wards in Kogi State on Friday being 14th April 2023.

According to the result made available to the media, Alhaji Muri Mutala Ajaka has scored 356,241 votes to defeat his closet Rival, one Jimoh Ododo who scored 74,027 votes.

However, drama started when the committee that conducted the election was induced and forced by the Governor of the State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello to announce his annointed candidate, Jimoh Ododo, as the winner of the said election.

Speaking to the media, a close supporter of Alhaji Muri Mutala Ajaka, he said, ” our Candidate has emerged as the winner and there is nothing Bello can do about it.

From the result in 14 Local Government Areas out of 21, it showed clearly that Alhaji Muri Mutala Ajaka is the choice of the people.

It may interest the general public to know that Alhaji Muri Mutala Ajaka against all odds won in the following 14 LGAs: Idah, Ibaji, Bassa, Dekina, Igala-Mela, Ofu, Olamaboro, Ankpa, Ajaokuta, Kabba Bunu, Lokoja, Koton Karfe, Ogori Magogo and Yagba West”

The added, ” Governor Yahaya Bello who inherited late Prince Abubakar Audu’s vote under APC cannot continue to force his will on the good people of Kogi State”.

He said, “as it is now, Alhaji Muri Mutala Ajaka is the authentic candidate of the APC as the will of Bello cannot over ride five million Kogites”.

He however, thanked Kogites for voting Alhaji Muri Mutala Ajaka saying, it is a new dawn in Kogi State as he will not let them down.

VEXT:
Must it be a Muslim governor every time?

yes coz same scenario is playing out in Plateau and Taraba states. Ain't substantial Muslims in those states? But it's always a Christian governor

Ladiesdoctor:
But this Yahaya Bello sef, how can you be an Ebira man and decided to handover power to another Ebira man?

APC don't have conscience at all.
The party itself cannot call his attention to such.

Of course, the other contestants will work against the Ododo

Real evil party

the party suppose to kick against such thing Bt you see dis is naija and it’s shows dey don care abt anything. Too bad

If Dino manages to pick PDP ticket, he could become governor.

inoki247:
Make PDP pick someone with sense and responsible and be ready to march Yahya Madness with Madness....


Cause this greediness u bring someone from the same place u came from after 8yrs...

pdp suppose to use dis advantage and pick d people choice that hv vision even if d person is not a politician it will even be beta

saintjimos:
Congratulations to him

the benefits of the congratulation is unknown

what will happen to all the investment by Bellos chief of staff and his paid publicists on NL?

ACCURETE:

party
When Audu do 8 years and pick is tribal person ibro no one complain when ibro did 8 years to e also pick is tribal person who did 4 years did heaven fall

Do you my problem with people like you, you always want to look knowledgeable but nothing una sabi. Who the hell told you Audu did 8 years. If he did 8 years, why did he contest in 2015? Abi there is a different constitution for the late Audu?

Ladiesdoctor:
But this Yahaya Bello sef, how can you be an Ebira man and decided to handover power to another Ebira man?

Real evil party

Have you been following Kogi state governoship? Abubakar Audu an Igala man after his 8 years he handed over to Ibrahim Idris an Igala man, after his 8 years he handed over to Idris Wada an Igala man after his first tenure he got the ticket for his 2nd tenure while Abubakar Audu got APC ticket are they not all Igala men? Bro if nothing wrong with those ones I don't think something is wrong with this one.

HausaIgboYoruba:
yes coz same scenario is playing out in Plateau and Taraba states. Ain't substantial Muslims in those states? But it's always a Christian governor

sorry i dont get you. are you saying that there are more muslims than christians in plateau and taraba states?

I pray dino wins the PDP ticket

Ok, thank God its not Labour party because by now Adeyemi with 1,500 vote would claimed the winner over Ododo with over 74,000 votes.

Its only in Labour someone in far 3rd position with no single state to his credit in entire SW except 10k in Lagos and 2 states in the North and claimed he won the election, its only Labour.

It's only in Labour the number of votes that separate him from the winner is over a million infact almost 2million but ter belive he won in his dream, only in Labour.

Pls who is pdp candidate abeg? make better people come on board and not those who want to only win Abuja and become the president of their village.

clockwisereport:


Kogi is a microcosm of Nigeria. Everything that happens in Kogi happens in Nigeria at the macro level

Yes, well noted, shares boundary with 10 other states and as a result is influenced by cultures from those other states. Also has many ethnic/sub ethnic groups though three are the major ones.

Also dino winning the pdp ticket may swing the play in APC's favour considering the usual sentiments that drive votings plus the Yahaya Bello's factor. These simply are the current realities.

Ha! Lol...

That cracked me up bruv.
I like your feedback here though with less invectives. It increases the blood pressure if one uses hard core invectives.

Whoa! It seems you are an Okun man Acidosis since you once said a few years back that you were based in Kogi... Dino too has been very militant like you have been lately.

True that! Like you said, there should be NO room for fake friendships.

All the best.

mistilink1:
I still maintain my initial stand that Igala is not the majority tribe in Kogi State. Igala is only fortunate to have big-for-nothing land mask. This is what made them to have nine LGA. Lokoja is more Ebira/Okun than Igala.Nature has created boundary between Igala and Ebira.You can cross over river Niger and be claiming the lands after it. I hope I have given you enough orientation now?

you are wrong man, ajaokuta is igala's land, so you dnt have to cross over the river niger before knowing igalas land
