Distinguished ladies and gentlemen
Thank you all

I've tried to modify/edit the thread but I couldn't: (please the mods should help)
KWARA STATE: is Saraki vs Lawal. Not Saraki vs Lam Adesina.

firearcher:
There is no political or corporate system globally that the incumbent doesn't take strong interest in who will succeed him.

In fact, they are sometimes expected to mentor and groom someone for that role.
Granted that some of them do it for various reasons some of which could be selfish. But painting it as an evil system unique to Nigeria alone is just a matter of inferiority complex which many Nigerian unconsciously suffer from.

THE MOST INTELLIGENT COMMENT.

glolomoh:
Where did you get all these concoction ?

How is Lam Adesina and Olusola Saraki related ?

Lam Adesina was a former governor of oyo state ( 1999-2003) while Olusola Saraki was the godfather of Kwara State politics in his days.

Lam Adesina failed to secure second term in 2003 election due to south West Alliance for Democracy governor's alignment with Obasanjo. All the South West governor lost to PDP except Bola Tinubu of Lagos who refused to sign pact with Obasanjo. So, Lam Adesina did not lose due to godfatherism but wrong political calculations.

It was a well known fact that Olusola Saraki installed former governor Mohammed Lawal as the governor of Kwara State in 1999. Governor Mohammed Lawal fought Olusola Saraki almost immediately he became the governor. He lost the battle as he failed to secure second term in office. Olusola Saraki won by installing his biological son, Bukola Saraki as the governor in 2003.

Endeavour to always do basic research before writing. Google is there for the lazy man.

Must you insult in every single situation? I tried correcting the thread but nairaland refused me access to modify the post. I knew KWARA STATE was between Saraki and Mohammed Lawal. For insulting me in your post this shows that you had a very poor childhood upbringing. I pity those who gave birth to you

Bliss62:



You are soooooo naive of International politics and US

Imagine you thinking you can get to Washington without heavy backing of lobby group and godfathers in US

even Trump with his money needed the group


US is run by shadow Government


.

See the way you misconstrued the whole godfatherism issue. Political actors consulting groups and exes in US is quite different from what is obtainable or what the commenter you quoted insinuated. That someone seemingly controlling who and who can hold position is what they are talking about and not making consultation during campaign. Don't mix garri with sand. They are different.

Most loyal God sons ever should be Abdulfatai ahmed of Kwara state and recently, babajide sanwolu of lagos

Ahmed was loyal to Bukola saraki till the end

Yes that is the common saying that there cannot be success without a good successor. Every good leader scout and fish out for who to succeed them but not after you've left the scene, you now refused to let go of the string, as done by many of our politicians. Many of them still want to be the person choosing SSG, commissioners, advisers and even to the least kitchen cabinet.
Please learn the direction the commenter is going and not what you think.

Thank you

Betrayal by a protegee isn't a noble act

We rise by lifting others

If Davido and Olamide baddoo decided to act like Burna boy and Wizkid... who go blow

Ask Mr Fabura a former Civil Servant ,how he spends his monthly security vote, office running cost, estacodes as a Governor

Is he better than his benefactor Wike who brought him from a minimum wage civil servant to a public office holder


.

Even though paying dues is good, it should not play out in public offices. Whether they support them or not a state must have a governor. The governor should be indebted to the people not the godfather. And we should not encourage them to please the godfather over the people like without them there won't be governor in the state

SALLYBERRY01:
OP i don't understand the relationship between Lam and saraki, secondly your assertion as regards kadun(el rufai vs UBA) Is wrong , there is nothing like that between them.

OP is a big liar.

1. Kaduna: El-Rufai is very much at peace with Uba Sani
2. Lam Adesina was governor of Osun while Saraki is from Kwara

KWARA STATE: Saraki (sr) vs Adesina; since godfatherism exists in that state, Lam Adesina served that state only one tenure, Saraki (sr) removed him and replaced him with Saraki (jn)

Lam Adesina in Kwara? These hungry bloggers sha

Lamidi was Oyo

Thank you all

Point of correction, Lam Adeshina was Oyo State governor. The person you met was Late Alh. Muhammed Lawal.


Also, there is no issue between Elrufai and Uba Sani. And so far Elrufai has not shown any sign of making himself godfather in Kaduna.

Though I don't support godfatherism, but that is the nature of Nigerian politics.

An outgoing governor imposing a "stodge" to cover him up when he leaves office.

However, less than 10% of "installed governors" successfully fight off their fathers.

The reason is: he who knows your secrets will one day use it against you.

makaveli902:
I thought 💭 🤔 Lam Adesina was from Òyó State....

Yes I corrected that thank you

Yes I corrected that of Kwara State thank you

Naija2023:
Why exclude
ANAMBRA STATE: Obiano vs Peter Obi. Obiano accused Obi of asking him to pay him some money which he refused. Obi took Obiano 2nd election as his personal fight. Campaigning vigorously against Obiano during Obiano 2nd Term election. But Anambra people still voted Obiano.

Don't mind the werey OP. He is one of the Obi supporters. Very obvious to see through.

Omenlon:
what does it take to do proper research work before going public? What business has Lam Adesina of Oyo State with Olusola Saraki of Kwara State? Lazy youth.

I've corrected that, must you insult me in your post?

[quote author=Kurugu92 post=127157236][/quote]I've corrected it

thinkmoney:
The last case you mentioned which is Kwara is very wrong. Saraki Junior took over from Lawal

Yes thank you, I have corrected that

LagBlogger:
Lam Adeshina was Oyo state governor.

Thanks I've corrected it

success1smyn:
Lam Adesina Kwara?

I've done the correction

Kukutenla:
This your Edo own funny die
Oshiomole behaved himself
Not true though....
Correcting Kwara, it was late Mohammed Lawal vs Saraki. Lam Adesina was Oyo gov

I've done the correction... Kwara

phemmie06:
Lam Adeshina in Kwara? Or Lawal

I've done the correction thanks

Politicstoday:
op edit the Kwara state own, you are very wrong. The late Saraki senior, Senator Olusola Saraki sent Ex Governor Lawal packing why allowing his son Senator Bukola Saraki to be governor and do 8 years in government.

Thanks I've done that

I can't accept your verdict for Delta State. Uduagha never supported Okowa's gubernatorial ambition, instead he fielded Tony Obuh to oppose Okowa since it was already established that delta north would produce the next governor, reason Uduaghan decamped to APC for a while and became completely irrelevant in Delta politics cos he revolted against the people's will.

Okoduwa and uduaghan were never in the same boat. In fact, the latter worked against Okowa but failed.

Ambode no send you Baba. Stop supporting what we consider evil. Your support is toxic. You supported Ambode, Jimi Agbaje aka just kidding. Chinedu et al. It all ended badly. Keep your support ONKR.

In summary, only Yoruba cowards could not fight off Godfatherism

You missed it, it's only southwest that know and understand what god-fatheriism is and how it is applied.

Check the history of SW godfathers.
For instance Tinubu, Saraki Snr, Adelabu etc
