Ogun central people dont like recycling of politicians. That's one of the factors that will work against Yayi.

Whether senator, House of reps or state assembly members, maximum serving term is 2 terms. Even local government chairman self.

achorladey:
I don't know of YAYI has served Ogun state in any capacity before?

helinues:
No, he hasn't before just in 2023. He cross over to Ogun state to contest the senatorial seat when he realized his chances of becoming Lagos state governor is not there.

Before then, what has he done for the people of Ogun West not to talk of Ogun state people entirely? It's like he's taking the people from the state as mumu.

Sango Ota road have been in dilapidated for decades. What's his role as a senator of not to oversight the same projects for the road that have been awarded severally. What has been oversighting?

helinues:
Because both was supported/influenced by Ogun central people. If Egba and Yewa /Awori present a governorship candidate in 2027, Ogun central candidate will win in Ogun West because apart from them in OW not united, it's the Ogun central people that control the politics of Ogun West

casualobserver:
He crossed over to contest Ogun gov

Lagos gov had never been on the cards for him. The reason he remained a Lagos senator was because Amosun was not ready to entertain him in Ogun in any form. It’s only when Amosun left office that he was able to cross over. The senate seat was his reward for helping Dapo in 2019.

Amosun never gave him the senate ticket.

achorladey:
Alright, we see how they align this time around.i haven't seen the hands of Amosun yet.

Sango Ota road have been in dilapidated state for decades. What's his role as a senator if not to oversight the projects in his constituency, state and beyond . The contract for that road have been awarded severally with nothing tangible done..What has he been oversighting?

achorladey:
Since he crossed year 2023 one can cut him some slack over his senatorial district because he cannot be a senator in Lagos and be spending it on Ogun West

Bostin:
It will be so hard for Yayi to become the next Governor in Ogun State because he will hardly have egba's and ijebu's votes . Yewa are divided as usual, so his chances are slim .

helinues:
So if he indeed had Ogun people at heart, how come they have not been seeing his hand when he was representing Lagos state?

If he indeed care about his own people from Ogun West, why is the Sango Ota road still in dilapidated. Even though his duty is not to build the road but to oversight. The road contract have been awarded severally, what has he Yayi been oversighting? Why has he refused to speak up on what he observed from his oversighting except if he had a share

helinues:
Bankole might be the one behind the Egba meeting lately. I don't have any information yet

You know he deliberately contested the Apc presidential primary and stepped down.

casualobserver:
Note I said in the first post that I am not a fan of his…..just stating the politics, not whether he will be a good governor.

Politically, he is popular in Ogun west, to understand why, you would have to ask Ogun west people. I don’t know what he does. I don’t like him, I don’t like the way he carries himself, I just have a negative feel about him. He gives me bad vibes.

But without him Dapo would not be governor.

helinues:
Bro, there is no ŵsense in him contesting Ogun state governor. This same man represented Lagos senatorial district for almost a decade if not more. He didn't remember about Ogun state when he was representing Lagos state?

If he truly care about Ogun state he would have switched long time as he's currently representing Ogun West senatorial district.

What an insult to the people the state.

helinues:
President Tinubu will not intervene in the Ogun politics in 2027. It get why

achorladey:
I hope he was not contesting to spite Tinubu back then

lenghtinny:
You rate yourself too high lol

He will not get involved in his Son-in-law when the plan has been in motion since the days of SIA

helinues:
If Yayi is the candidate the Ogun West people will be presenting in 2027, they should forget about it

Ogun West are minority in Ogun state politics. Infact, it's Ogun central people that command the politics of the area. Find better candidate apart from Yayi or loose out

You Dey talk Ogun West, East, Central politics bla bla bla

Was it Ogun East turn when Dapo snatched the seat even though he was unpopular

Whoever APC presents is going to be the next governor and that is Yayi whether you like it or not

You won't rest on the westerner's choice. If you have your central candidate, present it and stop hiding behind a finger. The sky is big enough for everybody to project his candidate.

helinues:
Hahaha, Bankole stepped down for president Tinubu including Amosun. There must be a reason for contesting in the first place

He should go and govern where he represented for a decade. What rubbish

achorladey:
The problem is politics. Politics here in Nigeria always come with numerous alignment and realignment. Some jurisdictions are sometimes not crossed if there are bigger plans to achieve using that same jurisdiction. They all count as strategies to achieve certain objectives

helinues:
We don't have short memory here. When Amosun presented Akinlande from Ogun West as his successor before completing his second term, why did GNI from same Ogun West contest?

So which turn are you talking about?

achorladey:
The clamour around that time is for power to head to Ogun West, GNI can contest no doubt since he does not align with Amosun.

Remember that was the problem leading to shared vote around that region that favours Dapo Abiodun

helinues:
No to Yayi. It's as simple as ABC

Royalty83:
These politicians do not ever learn. At the moment Yayi is even more popular than the sitting governor. Popular in all corners of the state and especially among the non-yorubas which is a significant voting block. He has a solid structure and has been spending money long before now. Only God and TINUBU can stop him.
