Is it the PDP of today? PDP is a very useless party nah, they lack good political acumen to strategize to win election. They prefer to sell the flag for money, to a weak candidate who cannot win the main election. I can bet all I have got that Dino will win PDP ticket. Yahaya Bello knows that, that's why he's brazenly doing what's doing. He's not even bothered sef, because he's still going to win.

If Dino picks PDP ticket, Igalas Wil go to labour party. They have already positioned one prominent Igala man, Air vice Marshall Isaac Mohammed Alfa. So with Ebiras going to APC+ incumbent power, Okun to PDP and Igalas to Labour, APC will win in the end. Because Bello will make sure he suppress the votes in Igala land and Okun land, then bring bloc votes from Ebira land, and he will win.

vicdom:

What's this one talking about? Igala alone constitute to about 45% of entire kogi population. It's Ebiras and Okun that make up 50% and others like Ogori, Bassa, Nupe constitute the remaining 5%. If all Igalas vote in one direction, Okun vote in one direction and Ebiras vote in one direction, in the end, Igalas will always win because they have the numbers. Voters in Dekina and Idah local government alone will cancel 6 out of 7 LGA in Okun side. Its only Kabba-bunu LGA that has good population in Okun side ooo, other six LGAs, nothing is there and they don't produce block votes like Ebiras and Igalas. Okuns are highly liberal to the core. They always share their votes during election even though their population is small than Igalas. That's why Yahaya bello doesn't want to give an Okun man ticket, because it will be one way for PDP should they field an Igala man.

Acidosis:


Say only what you know. Taraba/Plateau has over 80% Christians. In Kogi, Christians are at least 45-50%.

Igala - 45% Christians
Ebira - 30% Christians
Okun - 80% Christians

vicdom:

Yeah, you are correct! The christians are just being suppressed in Kogi. You can not name one prominent Christan in Kogi state as today. Even though they have large population.

Musty4ahmed1:
That's not a good excuse,, if he had supported Kabba person and Ebira vote for Kabba it will be a straight win for the candidate. Kabba is like a tripod stand for both Igala and Ebira, Eigher of the two must secure their support to win the Governorship of the State. So why can't Ebira and Kabba team up to produce the first Okun Governor for equity, fairness and justice.

od4life:

There are prominent Christians from Kogi State. Maybe you don't just know them.

Acidosis:



Labour Party has a candidate in Kogi?

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

stickle:

Okun may be more because I can't remember any indigenous Muslim from my town, Egbe. And we are one of the biggest town in Okun

lexy2014:


sorry i dont get you. are you saying that there are more muslims than Christians in Plateau and Taraba states?

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

No be today, since people fell for Muslim Muslim ticket then expect anything from APC

vicdom:

Yeah, Air vice Marshall Isaac Mohammed Alfa has picked Labour ticket. That's the calculation of Igalas now, if the ticket goes to west, they will go Labour way.

vicdom:

Just one person, and I will mention ten prominent Muslims.

What happened when Ibro handover to wada

Real evil party

Nasman:

Why are you this dumb? He simply said Taraba and Plateau have always had a Christian governor. Why won't Kogi always have a Muslim governor? Plateau and Taraba are Christian-majority states. Kogi is a Muslim-majority state. Case closed

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

vicdom:

Yeah, Air vice Marshall Isaac Mohammed Alfa has picked Labour ticket. That's the calculation of Igalas now, if the ticket goes to west, they will go Labour way.

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

Indabello:

Audu actually spent 4years before Ibrahim Idriss defeated him. However, your argument that three Igala governor's succeeded one another is right.

notttty:

Igalas did it for 18 good years heaven didn’t fall. We will do it for 18yrs n nothing will happen

MadamExcellency:
Why doed APC like making up numbers? I put it to everyone that is reading this that these numbers are fabricated. These numbers didn't vote in APC primary election. The true number is not more than 15,000.

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"

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.

mistilink1:
You now think LP party will win Kogi? The fact is that no matter you guys calculation in this coming election, you all know that APC is far close to winning than any other party. That is why every contestants under the party want to be the flag bearer

ALFADOS:
Are they from the same party

OneCandleAway:


I wasn't expecting him to participate because Bello won't let him win in the primaries. If he truly wants to contest the best way is to use another party to become a governorship candidate.

XAUBulls:

OK, thanks for the info @dickson2000.
Are you an oma Igala?

Sonfethopia:


Pls where in kogi is Dino from? Does he stand a chance? Is he loved there?
