"I DON'T MAKE EMPTY PROMISES. When I said we will deliver Osun State Votes to our dear father President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I mean it 💯%. Let me tell you, in 2023 during the election of Senate President, CoS Femi Gbajabiamila called me that the President wanted to see me. I thought I have offended the President, so I curiously inquired why.

The CoS told me that the President wanted Osun Federal Legislators to support Akpabio and Tajudeen Abass. I told the CoS to tell the President not to worry at all, I will handle it. I knew the 3 Osun newly elected Senators were rooting for Yari, so I quickly told them that they must all vote for Akpabio and they all did.

The President respected so much for this and during one of our meetings, he was practically looking for me, that's a great honour. So immediately after my election victory was announced, I didn't wait till following day, I dont want any controversy, I immediately reinstated, reaffirmed my earlier adoption of Mr President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.....Politics must be with integrity. We are all from Osun State, let's forget our differences and work for the President. I won't be the Governor forever. I'll leave one day. Tomorrow it could be Ajibola Basiru or anyone else, who knows?...."

If you like, support Tinubu. If you like,carry life band take dance your way to your polling booth,e no really concern us . But no forget say na only one vote you get.

LegendHero:
Shey na one vote him get when he gave Osun state vote to Atiku in 2023?

Nword22:
He can support anybody. It won't change the fact because it's all tribesmen issues.

SixSeven:
Fact: in the 2023 presidential election alone, 20 sitting governors lost their states to opposing presidential candidates because the electorate chose to ignore their governors' preferences

They have no regard for the electorate, including the winner, Jackson, who should have thanked Osun people for their support and leave it at that but kept on mentioning the President, man who only cares about what he can get. They say it's politics, they say it's strategy but they think people are dumb. Let's see how 2027 will go and if his mandate shall stand. He thinks he can command Osun people like that. He never see anything



A. Aliyu
As a highly influential Northern governor and chairman of the Northern Governors' Forum, Aliyu pledged that Niger State's political machinery would deliver the state to PDP's incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan. He openly campaigned under the assumption that his executive dominance would dictate the people's votes. The electorate did not follow his direction, resulting in one of the most lopsided defeats for an incumbent establishment in Nigerian history. Goodluck Jonathan was decisively rejected in Niger State, pulling only 149,222 votes. The opposition candidate, Muhammadu Buhari (APC), swept the state with a staggering 657,678 votes. Governor Aliyu also lost his own personal bid to transition to the Senate, losing the Niger East Senatorial district election to APC's David Umaru.


B. Elrufai
As an incredibly powerful founding member of the APC and a fierce loyalist, Governor El-Rufai went all out to campaign for Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Because the APC held full executive power and machinery in Kaduna, it was considered a guaranteed win for the party. Despite El-Rufai's tight control over the state, the electorate did not follow his direction. The state rejected Tinubu, and the PDP's Atiku Abubakar swept Kaduna State with 554,360 votes. Where is Elrufai today?

C. What happened to Sanwoolu or Ganduje or even Okowa who was actually on the ballot as the Vice- Presidential candidate for the PDP. He and his party structures confidently expected Delta State to vote entirely for the PDP ticket. Even with the sitting governor being on the national ticket, Delta State voters ignored his candidacy. The Labour Party swept Delta State with 341,866 votes, entirely rejecting the sitting governor's regional influence.

Or should we talk about Isa Yuguda and Bauchi and how Buhari beat PDP like pulp. These people are foolish to realize that Governors do not own the thumbs of their voters. Even Wike is being tolerated but let him try what he did again and see if the people will do like mumu again by changing their votes.


I will teach you politics gang. Just watch for a series of betrayals next year.
