I dont hold brief for desmond ediot becos he is a beneficiary of the system witch hunting him now, someone was also put down for him

However was i find very diaturbing is People like you, yarimo, richtaiwo that support this barbaric & anti democratic system of " Baba Sope" .. Instead of consensus or direct primary ... We now have old men in the party imposing candidate as consensus

NO matter your rank, your performance... Some old men can just gather n kick anyone out of an elective post, shebi we saw what happened to Ambode

From the APC primaries so far.... Why should any sane youth say that's the party he loves, where is the internal democracy .. Some old men are Alpha & Omaga they decide it all

Shame on every youth supporting APC, look across the primaries its appalling

Who remove him? They just pulled their backing. That's why he's still eligible to run in the primary, just it might make it tougher for him without their support.

ddippset:
You leave the people that are trying to remove him (Tinubu and Gbajabiamla) and you're calling Desmond greedy and selfish!

Tinubu has practically procured Lagos for 30 years,,
Gbajabiamla has been around for 20 years.

Yet it is Desmond that is greedy and selfish!

How you people use your heads is beyond me.

Desmond should be able to read the room and know when to bow out graciously. For the past 12 years it has been easy for you but shouldn't you read the room and know when it's not working anymore and be in good terms with the people that once were your allies because of another time.

Your conclusion about me though, as much as me being the biggest critic of the mandate theif and apc style of governance, Desmond Eliot is the worst of them, this man commissioned a four by four wood across a gutter in surulere as a constituency project, built toilets and hand it over to touts to charge #200 per use

He is trying to please his benefactors. He sold his soul. I am glad this is happening. He was never a true Christian anyway. A true Christian will proudly display Jesus, whether his political godfather is a muslim or a Christian. Let him go and pray in the mosque to show that his loyalty is complete. Nonsense!

You might be a critic, buh you just affirmed you are not different from people in APC, you dwell on small picture

I said i dont hold brief for Desmond elliot, My focus is the system APC is redressing as Democracy ...Baba sope cracy some old men just decide

You are talkin Desmond elliot built 4 by 4 wood abi, what about Ambode that performed excellenctly well by lagosians rate .. Did some old men not gather n kick him out before personal issues

Trust me, dumping desmond elliot is not about his performance at All, its about personal grudge of some old men, Obasa has a hand

Infact that Hon. meiranda they wont touch her becos it will be tew obvious, they cant take that risk for now

Reference:
Naso. Arsenal expects Manchester City to just step down for them to lift the trophy and we say the competition is credible.

Madam, democracy is a contest of ideas. It is a test of vision. It is where the people see how you react under pressure, what your composition is all about before they expenrd their highly valuable franchise on you.

If I can walk into a apparel store and test that snazzy pair of shoes before opening my wallet. If I can test drive that new ride before buying it, if the suya seller down the road will give me a 'tasting', then why should my representative not face a contest, a test, particularly a newbie. The risks are just too high.

Why is Obi running away from the contest of ideas in primaries? He did so in 2023 and made it easier for Tinubu to get his turn at continuing APC extreme poverty shege.

Do you think that Kwankwaso is the new Utomi?

Undisciplined, unstable, unreliable, unprincipled, party-hopping Utomi that was ADC's first presidential candidate in 2007 after Obasanjo's 3rd term agenda fell apart.

lexylaw40:
The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.

The governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Oyo State, Tawfiq Akinwale, [/b]on Wednesday [b]stated that the “President-elect” Bola Tinubu asked popular economist, Prof Pat Utomi to step down for Peter Obi in the buildup to the 2023 general elections.

Akinwale made this revelation while he appeared as a guest on a radio programme on 101.7 YES FM, Ibadan, Oyo State, while alleging that Obi received campaign funds from Utomi, whom he described as Tinubu's "son."

The LP aspirant, who spoke in Yoruba language, said "In the buildup to the 2023 elections, Obi who had purchased the nomination form of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), suddenly announced his exit from the party.

"Initially, Pat Utomi had secured the LP's presidential ticket, but when Peter Obi said he resigned from the PDP and joined the LP. Bola Tinubu, a master political strategist, quickly told Utomi, that everyone knows to be his son to step down for Obi.

"The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.

"What Peter Obi didn't know is much more that what he knows, he started collecting campaign funds from Utomi, while Tinubu was giving the money to Utomi.

"This went on until Obi's presidential campaign got to a stage it went beyond target. Obi was used without him knowing," Akinwale said after announcing his departure from the party.

Obi defected to the LP after resigning his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and also withdrawing from the presidential race under the party.

The former governor consequently joined the race for the party’s presidential ticket, while Professor Pat Utomi, in June 2022 stepped down for him to emerge as the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, unopposed in Asaba, Delta State.

Public office remains the source of easy money in Nigeria–that's why nobody gives it up easily once he's been invited to come and eat (apologies to the late Sunday Afolabi). I don't expect Mr Elliot to give up just like that. Return to hustling for daily 2k like the rest of us? No nah. He will fight to the end.

You see her demeanor?

You see her facial expression?

You see the feeling of entitlement?

You see the pride?

Desmond once felt untouchable like this at a time, but where is he today?

When she one day falls out of favor with her godfather's like Desmond has, and they bring out the cane being used to flog Desmond, to flog her.

Let her not complain,

Let her not cry "male oppression" or rally the feminazis to come to her rescue.

Let her quietly take what they will eventually dish out to her with equanimity.

Oh, she will cry. You think it's easy to give up easy money? Public office in Nigeria is a gravy train. They day she falls out with some "daddy" or loses out in some other way and is asked to hand over the key, she will lash out like Ambode or grovel on TV like Elliot. The game is the game.

What can he say he has done for the people of his constituency??

Anyway, make him go contest for councillorship

I heard he bought some transformers at a time. But the powers that made him honourable no longer want him. Politics in Lagos can be dirty. Godfatherism here is very very strong. It is better he steps down and he can continue his life outside politics and try again another time. Don't let this people bring you down by force. They have been very manipulative, rude, wicked and deadly.
