what makes ambode a technocrat? somebody that works in local government all his life should not be called a technocrat pls.

itsmine:
These are interesting times for Lagos n lagosians, Eko baje ti! They av two good products to choose from; whichever way d pendulum swings, its to their advantage, 2proven gentlemen, 2proven technocrats. Both ar good sell unlike dis Koro of a thug. But wait o, am I d only one seeing something, I mean dis ministers just losing enmasse? I hop its not a sign of rejection of abuja already, ... Emeka wogu, labaran maku, onyeHealth, obaniKoro etc etc.

Hmmmm....this very interesting.

Jimi Agbaje all the way

The funny thing is that either way, a loyal Tinubu boy will be governing Lagos in 2015. You really have to admire how this man has raised soldiers for himself.

T4taiwo:
An easy ride to Alausa for Ambode.....Agbaje is no match.

Who is Ambode? ask 10 people and 9 will tell you they never heard of him until lately.

Why are the APC guys going bananas over J.K, he has not even started his campaign una don dey shake

KEEP CALM J.K IS OK

Good news, the game is getting interesting. APC might kiss Lagos good bye come February, 2015. That is the man for the job.

Voting for jimi agbaje is a no-brainer.
Ambode is not a match at all.
Btw, it looks like PDP is undergoing a silent revolution.
Technocrats are being churned out thanks to the APC upping the ante.

barcanista:
Welcome to the race Mr Agbaje, Ambode will feast on you

Deep down in your heart,you had wished for Obanikoro to win the primaries so that you guys could feast on him.You guys have already called him a tout,didn't you?

Now PDP does not want a tout as their governor.Now Agbaje,a complete gentlleman has won.Let us see what lies you guys will concoct again.

Tinubu is gone.Those that will work against Tinubu are not members of the opposition but from within his own camp.

Some local government accountants whether seasoned or garnished are always fraudulent, covering books and adding and hiding numbers just to please their Oga at the top.

gabriel212:
If APC lose the poll fashola cause it.
Go to Ayobo n see the nightmare
ile iwe Ejigbo Is worst
Nnpc road are bad
Ejigbo / Ikotun road u will cry for them
I am an APC but if Jim I will build LAGOS I support him.
sentiment apart ds is time to rebuild Nigeria all old criminal should go to heaven.

U r damn Ryt bro... I was there few weeks back the condition of Ejigbo as a whole is pathetic ..no single tarred road , erosion sweeping thru peoples houses, dilapidated and rickety BRT buses without stair cases to board in and so on. I don't expect APC to get a single vote from them.

Big mistake, Jimi Agbaje has no followers in Lagos.
Obanikoro is more popular.
And when did Agbaje join PDP?

Voting Agbaje means bringing Bode George to power. It is a BIG NO! Olabode Judge will never smell Alausa. Btw: pdp faithfuls will again work against Agbaje(as usual)

Only Ejigbo? Have you been to Ijegun, Abaranje lately You 'll wonder if those areas are part of lagos.

And APC goons keeps shouting Fashola is working.

This's not about Ambode or Jimi. It's about APC and PDP. You see, a dog in APC will defeat an Angel in PDP, so long the election is held in Lagos. It's still a walk-over for APC.

Shebi february is just 2months away.Every thing will be settled by then.Thank you.

kristonium:
Its going to be a showdown between Ambode and Agbaje!
A larger part of me wants Agbaje!

agbaje under PDP platform? It's a NO 4 me.

T4taiwo:
this is contrary to the reality on ground, it will only take God intervention to wreck power from Tinubu and his foot soldier, because tinubu is a grassroots politician and a mobilizer.

grassroot politics is all about reaching people in every nook and cranny. Even if jimi isn't ,pdp has boys and men who can do the job effectively. You must realize that the reason why tinubu grassroot politicians have been able to woo people at the grassroot is basically due to 2 things , one of which is the power of incumbency apc and tinubu have been enjoying and the second reason is the candidate you are presenting to the grassroot. I can bet you that pdp will deploy every means in terms of manpower resources and financial to lagos guber elections knowing fully well that they now have a popular candidate acceptable to half of the voting public.

Yesss at least something to smile over...

Congratulations Jimi Agbaje.

We saw this coming and predicted a victory

Mother of all battles next year ....

Ambode Vs Jimi Agbaje

#TeamAPC.

The Igbo community is solidly behind Jimmy Agbaje. Go take a look at Alaba international market, Ladipo market, computer village, trade fair etc and you'll begin to wonder where our billions of tax remittance to Lagos state is going to. We are tired of APC propaganda, we need REAL change and development in our bussiness environment. Enough of Tinubu chokehold on Lagos state treasury. Enough of Tinubu's touts harrassing our containers, bussinesses and customers. Enough of Agbero, Alaye, NURTW, Owo Tinubu / Fashola collectors in Lagos. We deserve some sanity in our markets.

I am loving this. Technocrat against technocrat, brain against brain. Anyway it swings, lagos is gonna have a person of substance in the Governors seat. I kinda prefer Jimi as a person though.

Jimmy Agbaje all the way.
Enough of Tinubu's this, Tinubu that
Does Lagos belong to Tinubu and his family alone.
Iya loja --Tinubu's daughter? Why and what for?

Jimmy Agbaje will sweep Lagos votes come 2015!

That is the benefit of a vigorous democracy. That's what I've been talking about.

The just concluded PDP primary shows that the election where 806 were accredited but ended up in 863 votes cast. Is this how PDP will rig the Gubernatorial election?.

Lagos will not be infested with PDP non performance, never. No matter how good we may look at Jimi, joining a party like PDP will not add value to his status in Lagos state. Many of you that are optimistic about PDP winning in Lagos State will be disappointed when the chips are down.

A person of Jimi Agbaje does not have anything in common with PDP and joining such party will make him loose popularity among the Lagosian, this was how Obanikoro fame wane at the wake of his romance with PDP after he decamped from AD to PDP at the Senate.

The reality on ground today has proved that PDP is being rejected in totality, why did Obanikoro failed the primary?, the same with Maku and Wogu all who served as minister under president Goodluck Jonathan, but for my amiable Jimi his popularity will begin to nosedive and eventually go into oblivion unless he quickly retrace his step which i think is rather to late.

Like the way Anambrian rejected Ngige despite his popularity so also Lagosian will reject Agbaje.

u shouldnt talk in general for other peoples.d fact dat u will not vote 4 jimi doesnt mean others will do d same. And u should remember dat u only have 1vote to cast.

This is going to be a close call. Agbaje for his popularity and Ambode for his party

3gbosa for you
Tinubu is a big thief

This is not about PDP or APC, its about voting an intellectual, visonary and purpose driven man to govern lagos not people that will have to bow to some greedy godfathers like tinubu. Even fashola's candidate lost woefully.

I just hope that jimi is not assassinated like "funsho williams". When it was sure that PDP will take over lagos because funsho was the most popular candidate then, he was killed. Fashola had no chance against funsho williams in 2007. Tinubu is too obsessed with power but this time he will loose ijn.

List Of Choice Properties Owned By Tinubu by Liberty Report.

Tinubu and Fashola: accused by citizen of huge fraud

A list tagged The Tinubu List has been forwarded to the Liberty Report by a citizen who claimed that the contents of the list constitute ill-gotten assets traceable to the strongman of Lagos politics, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The Liberty Report has no independent way of authenticating the alleged corruption list. An email enquiry sent to the office of the governor of Lagos State was not responded to as at press time. The List is being published as a matter of public interest. Those accused in the list are public figures.

The sender said he challenged Bola Tinubu or the EFCC to disprove the content. The list is reproduced below.

THE TINUBU LIST – UNEDITED
1. 4, Oyinkan Abayomi (formerly Queens) Drive, Ikoyi: A 5-bedroom detached house on one acre of land which was originally the Lagos State Governor’s guest house since 1979, but which now belongs to Tinubu. The certificate of occupancy of the property valued at N450 million was signed and released to him by Fashola in 2007 shortly after he assumed office.

2. Tinubu’s residence at 26 Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi was initially falsely presented as Oando Plc Guest House. Later, he purportedly bought it from Oando, and used public funds to rebuild and renovate it. The Lagos State Government bought the property and paid an undisclosed sum to him and thereafter gave the property back to him under the bogus Pension Bill he signed to law shortly before he left office in 2007. The property is worth over N600 million.

3. The annex of the Lagos State Guest House in Asokoro, Abuja was bought by the State Government in 2006 for N450 million, purportedly to protect the main house from security breach. Shortly after Tinubu left office, the property was transferred to him under the pension plan he signed into law before leaving office.

4. The 250-hectare land valued at about N35billion and strategically located at the Ajah junction on Lekki Road was initially meant for a General Hospital for the people of Eti-Osa Local Government but was stolen by Tinubu and handed over to Trojan Estate Ltd – a company owned by Deji and Wale Tinubu – to develop as Royal Garden Housing Estate at the expense of the taxpayers of Lagos.

5. The 1,000 hectares of land valued at about N75billion located at Lakowe near Abijo at Ibeju-Lekki Local Government and given to Lekki Concession Company (LCC) which is partly- owned by Tinubu and Fashola and being developed as golf course and housing estate by Assets and Resource Management Ltd (ARM) as ADIVA project.

6. The prime land of 157 hectares with 2.5km of Atlantic beachfront valued at about N10billion and stolen by Tinubu from the communities of Siriwon, Igbekodo, Apakin, etc in Ibeju-Lekki Local Government and given to Ibukun Fakeye – his crony to build a golf course and luxury villa with little or no compensation to the villagers. In addition, Tinubu paid $20million (N3billion) out of public treasury to Ibukun Fakeye to commence the project in late 2006. Fashola has since released additional funding for this project, which is not owned by the state government.

7. The 14-hectare Parkview Ikoyi Estate foreshore land reclaimed by Lagos State Government is now owned by Bola Tinubu.

8. While in office, he allocated to himself the former Strabag yard beside the Lagos State Secretariat at Alausa, Ikeja. The property is now being developed into a shopping mall as big as the Palms in Lekki. This is public property brazenly stolen and now owned by Tinubu, aided by Fashola.

9. The choice property at Lekki-Epe road on which he built and owns the multi-billion naira Oriental Hotel and the extension of multi-storey car park beside it. Also, the multi-level recreation centre by Mobil in Oniru Estate on Lekki-Epe road jointly owned with ARM and Tunji Olowolafe. All these assets valued at over N25billion were obtained without paying a kobo to the Lagos State Government.

10. Tinubu and Fashola sold the following prime Lagos properties to their personal friend and front – Prince Dipo Eludoyin at very ridiculous prices:

• The 3.8-hectare of land of Lagos State Fisheries office in VI (beside the Institute of Oceanography) valued at N3billion.

• The fishery landing jetty at Badore (where the Ilubirin fishermen were to be relocated) valued at N500million

• The entire Ogudu foreshore scheme initially earmarked for a low-cost housing scheme valued at N5billion

• The Ilubinrin housing estate (which used to house Lagos state civil servants and judges up till 2007) valued at N2.5billion.

• The former Julius Berger yard at Oko Orisan, Epe valued at N450million.

11. Tinubu raised a loan of N4.7billion on Eko Akete project for which nothing was achieved before he turned around to sell the property to his Chagouri friends of Chagouri & Chagouri and Hitech Construction Ltd at a ridiculously low price at the expense of the taxpayers of Lagos.

12. Tinubu applied to personally purchase the Federal Secretariat building while in office. When he couldn’t get to buy it, he directed Fashola to stop the eventual owner of the complex to develop it. The complex is presently wasting away courtesy of the Lagos State Government.

13. It took several months of horse trading and underhand payments before Fashola could allow the new owners of 1004 flats to redevelop the complex.

14. Several other buyers of Federal Government properties and developers of properties in Ikoyi, Victoria Island and Government Reservation Area Ikeja were forced to succumb to the outrageous demands of Tinubu, Fashola, Commissioner Abosede and other officials of the Lagos State Physical Planning Ministry and were made to pay ridiculous amounts to private accounts before their redevelopments were approved. Those who refused or were unable to pay could not develop their properties. This is a major economic strangulation of property developers and has contributed largely to the skyrocketing rent in Ikoyi, VI and Lekki axis.

15. Tinubu converted all the plots of land where Lagos Polytechnic was located at Ikosi near the old toll gate. He chased away the Polytechnic in 2006 and went ahead to locate the choice plots to himself, his cronies and political associates. The headquarters of Television Continental (TVC), which is owned by him, is located there. He deprived the youths of Lagos of decent education because of his greed.

16. Tinubu singlehandedly sold the prime land on Aboyade Cole, Victoria Island which was recovered from some allotees, to UACN Properties Plc. The amount of proceeds was shrouded in secrecy.

17. Eludoyin, fronting for Tinubu, built the estate directly opposite Goshen Beach Estate in Lekki area.

18. Tinubu’s wife, Remi Tinubu, built the massive New Era Foundation youth camp at the junction of Eleko, off the Lekki-Epe express road, with Lagos State funds and has now converted it to personal use.

19. Tinubu owns the Fara Park Estate and the Beach Wood Estate both in Lekki.

20. The Critical Care unit at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) in Ikeja, built and equipped with state funds, is now owned personally by Tinubu. He has put one Dr. Sikiru Tinubu, (a supposed cousin of his) to run the outfit. It is run as a private unit and the proceeds are pocketed by the duo. The unit charges its users exorbitantly and most Lagosians can hardly afford to pay its high charges. Much of the revenue is derived from fees paid by the State Government for patients referred there by its General Hospitals.

21. Several prominent Nigerians in the judiciary, police, INEC, and other sensitive agencies have obtained prime land from former Governor Tinubu and incumbent Governor Fashola over the years without paying a kobo. Many of them had turned around to sell the land to third parties at substantial profit.

Many top officials in the police, INEC and the judiciary who participated in the 2003 and 2007 elections and tribunals in states where Tinubu has interest were compromised with parcels of free prime Lagos land and cash. If the Lagos State Land’s Bureau could publish the names and identities of beneficiaries of land allotees from 2000 to date, the scandal that will result is better imagined. Gbenga Ashafa, now a Senator, and Mrs. Awofisayo were the conduits through which these acts were being perpetrated. Both were also personally involved in various dubious land transactions on their own.

I "yinmu" for many of you who has suddenly fall in love with Jimi Agbaje, but we know you did not mean well for Jimi nor Lagosian but all you are after is for Jimi to use his popularity in Lagos to win support for PDP and your Jonathan but this time around all your plan will fail, it is dead on arrival
