You guys should worry about how voters in the north will vote particularly the North West which is the largest voting bloc in the country.

GEJ is not going to win the South West. You guys forget that states Like Ogun, Oyo And Osun are not leaning towards GEJ which is why he is running around the South West

Whether obas campaign or not, der are other people who stands for the truth, who sees the good deed that has been done since his tenor,GEJ is already the winner.
DAVECENA:
The Awujale and paramount ruler of Ijebuland, Oba
Sikiru Adetona, has told President Goodluck Jonathan,
that it is not proper in Ijebuland or Yorubaland for an
Oba to canvass for votes for any candidates seeking
elective posts.
Rather, monarchs in Yorubaland only encourage their
subjects to make their informed choices.
The monarch said this when President Goodluck
Jonathan paid a private visit to him in his palace in
Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State.
President Jonathan, who arrived the palace around
11.15am in a convoy, was accompanied by the National
Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Adamu
Mu’azu; a former governor of Ogun State, Otunba
Gbenga Daniel; Governors of Bayelsa and Ondo states,
Seriake Dickson and Olusegun Mimiko respectively,
among others.
The royal father said any Oba canvassing for votes for
any political party’s candidate would be courting
trouble. He said rather than engaging monarchs for
campaign, each candidate must go out and sell his or
manifesto to the electorate.
He said, “In Ijebu here, it is not possible for any Oba,
not even only in Ijebu, in Yorubaland, to go out and say
vote for this, vote for that; that person is looking for
trouble.
“But give them the opportunity to present their
programmes so that people can make up their minds on
what to do. I think this is a very sound democratic
principle and that is what I have decided to do, to give
you the opportunity of meeting with the people.”
Oba Adetona noted that it was when the candidate
would have presented the manifesto that the voters
would decide whether or not to vote for him or her.
He said, “One, they see you as a person. Whether to
engage with you or not to listen to you and see if there
are areas where we can meet is a question for
individual reason. As a result, everybody congregating
belong to different groups.They are members of the
PDP, the All Progressives Congress, All Progressives
Grand Alliance. They belong to various interests, and
when they come, they get to the gate, they shed their
togas.
“The PDP will remove their PDP, the APC will remove
their own. They will remove their own. They are going
to the palace to meet their ruler, their paramount ruler;
to receive that important august visitor who is coming
to their land and give him all honour that is entitled to
him.”
He, however, advised the electorates to vote for those
that had the fear of God and integrity and not those
who would mortgage their future, after offering them
gifts.
He said, “Each time I have cause to talk to our people, I
have always told them, in the churches and mosques
that when you’re going to vote, make sure you back
your sons and daughters who will give something back
to you; not the ‘Ojelus’ (looters).
“Those who will be honest with you, who know the way
of God; those are the people you should vote for; not
those who will give you two, three spoons and
mortgage your future. It is not right.”
The monarch, who prayed to God to guide the country
right, acknowledged that he had never seen any
election that was full of tension in the last 55 years like
the current one coming up in less than two weeks.
President Jonathan had earlier in his speech highlighted
his achievements to the monarch, which he said, cut
across party, ethnic and religious lines in the last four
years.
He said, “In the road infrastructure, we have tried.
Railway is back, we are trying to improve our terminal
buildings and security environment in our airports.
“The Health sector, we have tried both in the tertiary
level, or what we call health tourism. Some of our
hospitals are now open for kidney transplant and at the
primary level we are able to eradicate guinea worm and
we are on the way of eradicating polio completely from
this country.”
President Jonathan explained that his administration’s
focal activities when re-elected would be the
implementation of the report of the National Confab as
well as facilitate the construction of four deep sea port
projects which include the Olokola in Ijebuland, that of
Badagry, Akwa Ibom and the Age in Bayelsa State.
Speaking earlier on behalf of Ijebu Traditional Council,
the Dagburewe of Idowa, Oba Yinusa Adekoya, had
drawn the attention of the President to the non-
appointment of indigenes of Ijebuland to any prominent
position at the federal level.
President Jonathan who promised to correct this if re-
elected, described Ijebuland “as a great land and there’s
no government that will neglect the people of Ijebuland,
I have to take that very very seriously.”

Mynd44:


LMAO....you don't know so don't argue this. It is weird that people have no idea what's happening before the type. Oba Akinolu's issue with Koro has started since Koro was a Chairman in the AD.

Obanikoro was not always an adversary of Tinubu dude (You really don't know much of Lagos politics) in fact he used to be Tinubu's boy which seems to be why he keeps getting ruffled by Tinubu. He just wanted more than the Party was willing to give so he left. Remember he was a senator in the AD? How was he an adversary then?

Amusing how Obanikoro the person alleged to have started a fire in his office which led to the burning of city hall (A story Bode George brought up in January so this ain't beer parlour gossip) is not the PDP's point man in Lagos.

But Tinubu did not contest in the 2007 elections did he? He was an outgoing governor, Fashola was the party's candidate who was duly elected at the primary unlike Obanikoro who rigged his way in. Hilda Williams won the Primary, she was declared the winner only for the PDP national headquarters to announce that Obanikoro wil be their candidate.

I doubt you will remember and acknowledge that the PDP in Lagos has been synonynous with fraud and electoral malpractice. The evidence is even in the last PDP primary.

I just sit back and LMAO when folks say they know and understand Lagos politics when they don't know where ot starts.

1. Obanikoro has NEVER been AD Chairman
2. He was the was Deputy Chairman of NRC in the early 90s.
3. Obanikoro became Local Government Chairman of ILagos Island Local Government in the early 90s
(As at these period, Akiolu was still a policeman)
4. The issue of city hall happened when Obanikoro left as LGA Boss. As at then, it was never issue of Akiolu. That was during the Military regime.
5. Obanikoro was never TINUBU's boy. He served under Tinubu. In fact, Tinubu made use of his goodwill in 1998 Governorship election the the Island. Akiolu was no where to be found.
6. Obanikoro opted for Senate. He wasn't dashed the ticket by Tinubu. As at then, Afenifere had a split between AD and PAC. Koro, Afikuyomi and Tinubu held sway in AD, while Ganiyu Dawodu(I heard he's late now) and others formed PAC (or so). Funso Williams and others left for PDP.
7. AKIOLU was made Oba in 2003 by Tinubu's influence. People in the Island know the story.
8. I don't know where you get your story from, but the 2007 was between Koro, Agbaje and the renegade AC members on different front, and Tinubu led AC. Fashola was only a front.
9. Bode George has been political adversary of Koro since 1998 in the Island. In fact, Bode George refused to support Koro in 2007. He even boasted that Koro will never be governor. the rivalry between Koro and George is pure politics over the control of PDP. PDP has always been factionalised since the death of Williams.
10. Akiolu is an Oba, I wouldn't want to insult or denigrate him, but his beef with Koro is a front for Tinubu.

Followers of Lagos Island Politics know what is up. That's all...

The paramount Rulers are like a father to all kingdom and should not poison the mind of the people. They should advice their subjects to go by what they saw.

Where do you people get this distorted facts from? Tinubu made use of Obanikoro's goodwill?

Tinubu a former NADECO member needed Obanikoro win right? hilarious. When his mother was already Iyaloja (of LAGOS not Lagos island) and all she had to do was get on stage with him.

Obanikoro has always been Tinubu's boy as a chairman and a senator. He wanted more and could not get it. Deal with it.

It is weird Afikuyomi and Koro were with Tinubu cos only him had enough value to keep them relevant.

Wait Tinubu made Akinolu King? wow...that's as risiculous as saying Kwankwoso made Sanusi Emir or Mimiko crowned the Deji of Akure

Fashola was a front. The guy who served as Tinubu's chief of staff and easily defeated Agbaje and Pedro in the primaries?

Why did Koro move to the PDP? Why was Hilda Williams cheated out of the primary? Obanikoro lost to Fashola, simple. Fashola rode on Tinubu's works same way Ambode is doing with Fashola.

Bode George did not support Koro because of the way the cheated Hilda Williams. Get your facts right. Bode George did the same to Koro in December though so *shrugs*

You people and your endless obsession about Tinubu is amazing. In case you don't know, The Awujale and Tinubu have been allies since the days of NADECO. I remember when they had a meeting in palace at Ijebu (The Awujale even mentioned it recently) and soldiers were sent to arrest the NADECO members. The Awujale allowed then escape through the back door and GEJ thinks the Awujale will even think of supporting him.

Though Paramount rulers may not canvass for votes in favour of a candidate, they should be sincere enough to advise their subject on the way forward. They should not allow their personal interest to override the interest of their community. It is a common practice in some parts of the country to remain neutral in any political uncertainty while eating from both ends.

Lol....fire dey burn Jonathan! He has suddenly come to the cognition that those he marginalized are afterall the kingmakers of Nigeria and without their endorsement he stands no chance of victory.

First, the Obas in Egbaland told him to stop calling them to unecessary and unproductive meetings.

Second, the Muslim body in Yorubaland told him they dont need his bribe and its a waste of his time and theirs to invite them to a unproductive meeting.

Now Awujale has told him he is wasting his time paying visits to Obas in Ijebuland, and Yorubaland generally. Go and face the people with your accountability, dont bring your message to Obas, go tell it to the people you ruled for 6years.

There is two weeks to election....Jonathan is confused!

He should go to North, the Emirs might accept his message and help him in their domain.....make sure to take Patience Faka along to greet "troway shildren" along the streets.

He doesn't have to worry about Ezes in the East, they are already bought and in his pocket....there is no negotiation about whether or not they will deliver....their choice is already purchased!

What will I say. This are days were someone campaign to be the paramount ruler. In those days were the God's chooses who become the paramount ruler of a kingdom,things are not turned this ways. Traditions and customs are pulled away that is why our dear Obas don't respect the customs and traditions of the lands. On how earth will God bless the land if the paramount Ruler hide the truth. It will be a big disgrace to the Yoruba's if they sit and allow the Obas to set them on fire because of one man(Tinubu). We should not let this be our problem. We know who we are voting for. Not because he will do but he has done and will do more. GEJ is going. What we need is transformation not Change. We are not Conductors

You are distorting facts Sir.
1. Obanikoro and Tinubu only became party allies in 1998
2. In 1994, Tinubu was with SDP where he ran and won his Senate seat, Obanikoro was with NRC where his Party defeated the SDP in the Governorship election. He was even appointed by Governor Michael Otedola and was later made Deputy Chair of NRC. He was later elected Chairman of Lagos Island LG. All in NRC
3. I doubt you know Sen Tokunbo Afikuyomi. In 1998 it was Olu Falae and co that proposed Tinubu to run for Governor instead of Funso Williams to compensate him for his NADECO struggle. Tinubu was like any other person. Go read who helped Tinubu filled his form to INEC.
4. Bode George and Koro were adversary when Koro was in AD. They became more opponent when Koro moved to PDP in 2005. The battle was for the soul of PDP. Koro wants to be Governor, George wants his loyalist Hilda(after the death of Williams). Their main battle was for the soul of the Island. Again, you should read on George/Koro rivalry.
5. Obanikoro has never been a boy to Tinubu. Though kudos to Tinubu for appointing him Home Affairs Commissioner. Saying Koro is Tinubu boy is like saying Shekarau is GEJ's boy.
7. Fashola never won any "primary" in 2007. There was no primary. Tinubu only asked others to step down for his Chief of Staff. Fashola was nothing and is still nothing politically.

Yet Mr Barcanista says Tinubu crowned Oba Akinolu king so he has to do Tinubu's wishes
Know when to be mischievous

7. AKIOLU was made Oba in 2003 by Tinubu's influence. People in the Island know the story.

You are distorting facts Sir.
1. Obanikoro and Tinubu only became party allies in 1998
2. In 1994, Tinubu was with SDP where he ran and won his Senate seat, Obanikoro was with NRC where his Party defeated the SDP in the Governorship election. He was even appointed by Governor Michael Otedola and was later made Deputy Chair of NRC. He was later elected Chairman of Lagos Island LG. All in NRC

I

1. Political Allies but who was under who?

2. *yawns*

3. Everyone knows Afikuyomi. The dude who always ran for governorship without putting any seriousness to his campaign. lol. Tinubu was part of the struggle, he was once a senator and yet someone thinks was a nobody. smh

4. Bode George and Koro became opponents when Hilda Williams was robbed at the PDP primaries held at TBS. I doubt you even remember that.

5. Koro has always been Tinubu's boy just like Agbaje. They just want more even and when they saw that they could not win the primary or emerge as candidate, they left. Same as Femi Pedro

6. wait, no 6, okay

7. You claim Fashola was nothing and is still nothing but Fashola still as the record for the highest number of Votes any Nigerian will get from one single state in 2011


And as usual in the usual manner, you ignore the truth here. That Obanikorp emerging the PDP's candidate in 2011 was a resuly of the PDP manipulating primary electrions and Jimi Agbaje winning the primary last year was also a result of the PDP manipulation their own primary. was that not why Obanikoro went to court before he was bribed with a ministerial post? I am sure you will also ignore this cheesy.

JK is still kidding but he will perform better than Ayo Dosumu
