An average Nigerian is just like Desmond Elliot, condemn those that doesn't want to relinquish their political positions after spending years but once you taste power you start acting like them

Even if he stays there the next 10 years there's no pathway for him to become governor of Lagos State

Tinubu asks Hamzat to be the next governor, tinubu tells Ayade,he will not go for Senate, tinubu tells Elliot he will not go for another term ..

Is this one democracy? This is exactly what tinubu wants ;to control every political position in Nigeria...
This should be highly discouraged and fought. I hate godfatherism!

This failed so-called president is playing king maker instead of thinking of how to attract investors back to Nigeria, to create more jobs for the poor masses that he's already taxing to their early grave.

Very useless individual
At least still very useful than the one who failed in training you.

Honestly, no legislator in contemporary Nigeria merits four terms; na birth right abi na monarchy?

However, do the people even have a right to choose anymore in this brand of democracy currently practiced in Nigeria? The politicians would do anything just to get the blessing of one man, and that’s all. Omo!

He told those who came that the decision by the majority of the Surulere stakeholders and that he had no intention of going against his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, whom he described as the GAC Leader in Surulere and a pillar of Surulere’s development for years.

He also disclosed that it was Gbajabiamila who later begged Surulere people[b] to accept Elliot all through his three consecutive terms in office.[/b]

If the people who carried Desmond for twelve years can no longer defend him, that says everything about the boy’s character and performance,” the President was quoted as saying during one of the meetings.

Badmus said: “Most of the Surulere youths are tired of him and don’t see him as a role model. Power is transient and only God gives power to whom He desires. The call for change in Surulere 1’s representation at Lagos House of Assembly is not accidental. It is the verdict of a constituency that has been patient long enough.”

Read back it's not Tinubu who say Elliott shouldn't go. ITS HIS PEOPLE FROM SURULERE CONSTITUENCY LED BY GBAJABIAMILA , but wants Tinubu to reverse popular opinion, Tinubu also told him to go for open contest if he sure he will win

Learn how to say it the way it's even if you hate the other person.
lol…..be deceiving yourself …: see who is telling someone to learn how to say it the way it is??
When popular opinion officially voted Obasa out..:: did the president not reverse the legal vote ?

FreeStuffsNG:
All of them who 'impeached' Obasa are not coming back, especially frontliners like him that purportedly planned and executed that 'coup' to embarass the President.

The President is not only a member of your party, he is from your own state and hail from same Senatorial district yet you 'impeached' the Speaker without his knowledge or consultation.

If they had succeeded, probably one day , he will wake up to read in the newspapers that the Governor of his state has been impeached.
Just hear talk abeg.
My goodness!!!

Nawaoooooooo

Very basic comprehension. Summary for you. Jagaban said, the people that brought him said they don’t want him again that he can not override them. Yes, that is democracy. People decide who they want, and Jagaban chooses to stand by the people decision.

Did you even read the write op.
Tinubu is actually distancing himself away from the decision, the stakeholders in suurulere have decided not to support Elliot and Tinubu has refused to override them or force himself on them.

You talk on this and blame him when other issues are raised,for this, it's not Tinubu.
You may give your phone to who knows how to read and interpret correctly.


If you are against someone on every issue or surporting someone, for irrespective of what he does, good or bad . It says alot about your personality and your type is reason we find ourselves where we are today, because of your blind surport or hatred.


Learn how to reason without prejudice, because you hate Tinubu now, you must support Eliot, in which his people said they don't want again.

Meanwhile, it was even Tinubu that brought the same Eliot to where he is today politically, courtesy of Obj pleading, if you can read the whole passage and understand the meaning sha.

Bye and continue your attacking.

Hope you can read and understand

This is not Abia where someone will be in power since 1999 and still want to run again in 2027
Always read the news before making your comment. Tinubu is supporting what is happening in your Abia State. Yes read the President's conclusion.

President's position across all the meetings was consistent. If Elliot believes he can beat Odunuga-Bakare and Gbajabiamila’s structure at the primaries, the arena is open.

Read the article or call someone to interpret it to you if you don't understand it.

I know bitterness won't let you understand the passage.
Despite your warp opinion, the great Jagaban will crush all his opponents come January 2027.

You can do whatever you like with yourself thereafter.

No shaking!

So Lagos don't have any political will on their own that even the House of Assembly members is also handpicked by Tinubu?
Their chains of slavery is very long beyond Badagry and Cotonou beyond.
Is that why your region keeps producing inept leaders since 1914?

Did you even read the post before commenting?

What the story said was that Desmond Eliot was asking Tinubu to go against the wishes of the people and Tinubu refused. How else do you want democracy to be?
