Don't mind this one; he is just saying nonsense. People voted with their conscience. 😂

How long can propaganda and lies last? People saw beyond the noise and made their choice.

This is what democracy looks like; without rigging, without "joining them." He still emerged as Governor of Osun State for a second time. 🏆

Another one of APC loses, free and fair, APC wins, it's rigging.

This is not about APC. Genuine victories are usually clear. When an election is genuinely free and fair, the result should reflect the will of the people.

For instance, if Senator Yayi wins Ogun State, even as an APC candidate, nobody would be surprised because it is obvious that he has strong support among the people.

When people genuinely support a candidate, you can see it in the enthusiasm, grassroots support, and overall acceptance of that candidate.

Fine, so explain in a bit more detail how "Genuine victories are usually clear."

By the way, a lot of people in Ogun state think Yayi is an interloper from Lagos so a poor example there.

Who is this comedian? 😂 You better not go around saying such on the streets of Ogun State. Imagine calling Yayi an "interloper from Lagos." This is really hilarious! 😂🤣🤣

This is probably a narrative you and other uninformed people like you have cooked up. Oga, you really need to leave your comfort zone once in a while. Ogun State is bigger than the people you discuss politics with.

Go around the communities and talk to ordinary people. Talk to market women, drivers, farmers, ordinary residents, and students in higher institutions. You would be surprised to discover that Yayi's visibility and grassroots work did not suddenly appear because he declared interest in the governorship. He has been known and active in Ogun for years.

I don't entertain propaganda. If you have evidence that he has no legitimate political roots or connection to Ogun, just bring it forward.

If you are so convinced that he isn't the people's choice, I'll make it easy for you: name the candidate you believe is more popular, more connected to the grassroots, and more capable of doing a better job. 😂

Read my post again, this time slowly and clearly, you will see that a lot of what you have said is superfluous to your response to it.

Whatever battle you are fighting with whomever over Yayi in Ogun state, I am not interested. Take it to them, don't bring it to me as I have the small matter of Obidients to attend to.

Focus on what I posted, then respond directly to that if you feel the need to.

😂 I read your comment very well. In fact, I responded to your misinformation, not some imaginary "battle" over Yayi.

Your point was that my statement that "genuine victories are usually clear" was somehow invalid because a lot of people consider Yayi an "interloper from Lagos." I simply challenged that assertion because it does not reflect the reality on the ground.

I simply used Yayi as an example, and you responded by calling him a poor example. I naturally responded to that claim. Don't turn around and pretend I dragged you into some debate about Yayi. If you don't want to discuss Yayi, then you shouldn't have referred to him as a poor example in the first place.

My point remains very simple: the issue is not whether APC, PDP, or any other party wins. A credible election should reflect the actual choice of the people. 🗳️

OK I am with you now as I had to look at what I posted to see how it had developed arms and legs.

Have you explained how genuine victories are clear yet as I can't see that?

I also said a lot of people think Yayi is an interloper from Lagos so he is a poor example, all you have said is a lot don't, and I should ask market traders etc. This is the same thing I can say and is not addressing the fact that some think Yayi is an interloper like I said, it doesn't mean others don't.

Anywhere, I might not have much time to respond moving forward as I have Obidients to (man)handle verbally.

Merry100 it's a lie oo aswani can't handle anything apart from posting in parables hoping to slither away like how snakes do

Na this paragraph you take hold am aswani will say anything else than answer this extremely simple question

By "genuine victories are usually clear," I mean that when a candidate genuinely enjoys substantial support and wins a properly conducted election, the result should not be detached from the candidate's actual support on the ground. You should ordinarily see some indication of that support through grassroots acceptance, campaign reception, public enthusiasm, turnout, and ultimately the true votes cast.

If a few people somewhere hold the wrong view that Yayi is an "interloper from Lagos," that doesn't by itself make him a poor example. Those few opinions would hardly determine the outcome of an election. What ultimately matters is what the majority truly believes and, more importantly, how that support translates into votes.

If you understand politics, you would understand that it is virtually impossible to find a political candidate who hasn't had propaganda pushed against them. But no matter how much propaganda their opponents push, it doesn't automatically determine how people will vote.

So my point remains that a candidate's broader support among the people should ultimately be reflected in the election result.

That's why we are praying for a total ELECTORAL REFORM.

Imagine INEC becoming truly independent and the chairman not appointed by the president. Most of our politicians today won't even smell the seat of power.

In a free and fair election, Tinubu won't win in 2027 because he has no achievement to campaign with.

Rice or cash wins elections o
Last minute achievements

Majority of those that are supporting him are not doing so based on ideology, it's because of financial gains.

Good economy
Security
Healthcare
Education
Infra
All are financial gain o

Which organic followers Tinubu get? He only relies on "rigging machinery & the structure of Chop I Chop".

Can't rig where your unpopular
welcome to politics 101
