PointB:
And Olu Falae wasn't their son?

How were you able to determine the choice of whole Nigeria in 1999 prior to election? Are you a seer?

Check the post above for answer.^^^^^^^^

OP may your days be long for telling them Yorubas are not tribalistic bigots like them....They are performance driven and not race driven

For the records, Preye is an Ijaw name!

I'm an Ijaw! But that's not the purpose of this thread. .just wanted to correct those mistookme for an Igbo.....

This article is about the political consciousness I observed amongst the Yoruba people. I admire them!

meanwhile
Sani Abacha & wife went to Aso Rock
together............ Only his wife came
back
Olusegun Obasanjo & wife went
together.......
...only Obasanjo returned
Umaru Musa Ya'adua & wife went
together.......
....Only his wife returned Goodluck
Ebele
Jonathan & wife went
together..............Now,,both of them
are
coming back together.
GEJ is indeed lucky to break that curse
in Aso
Rock! ! !
Change is really here!!!

winniz:
Who is talking about INEC official or whatever?
Many of your SW leaders collected bribes from him after all the promises but failed to deliver and even most of the votes he got from the Core SW states most of u guys said here that PDP shared money on election day to garner those votes. It simply means u guys lack Conviction and Ideals.

did they ask for it? he gave them as gifts, and more over it is Nigeria's money not GEJ's...and when did following ur conscience becoming lack of conviction and ideals, look the yorubas don't av a price tag like some other tribes. if u gv dem dy will collect but it doesn't stop dem from changing their mind.

winniz:
Sources said GEJ spent billions of naira in SW from giving money to their Oba's and sharing money on election day in SW states but he was disgraced heavily by them.

Trust those Chameleons at your own peril.

FVck you child of hate and bitterness, The yourubas voted for jonathan in 2011,you didnt call them chameleon, and now you are calling dem chameleon when the votes in southwest was closely contested unlike enugu,akwa ibom and ebonyi..........Stfu mofo

Dear op, you're my MVP

xtervaganza:
Dear op, you're my MVP

Hahahhaha. Thanks!

chukwudi44:
so much for 500,000 votes margin from six states

remove just 2 states from the required 24 states, will he be able to win GEJ.... it would have been inconclusive election.

dearpreye; my boss, Believe me you didnt check past records of yorubas system of voting since independence before posting this or probably you did to curly their favour...All same you got it all wrong....yetunsbay, SLIDEwaxie, Beamborla, mistypiper, Dharniel, jfking2005, focus7, EUROBOMBER, omazus, winniz, chukwudi44, sinkhole, Scatterboss, theV0ice, paolo96, Blazinraj01, xtervaganza, Kolade354, maximilano, xtremely9ja, kolaaderin, PointB, tomzman, & other contributors especially Yorubas on this thread should rather confront facts of history before massaging their ego or lying against laid down facts and figures...YORUBAS SINCE INDEPENDENCE VOTE ONLY THEIR OWN...



The South-West zone has 14,296,163 registered voters, which represents 19.44% of the total number of voters nationwide. In terms of national electoral strength, the zone is number 2. Taking into account the electoral behaviour of the South-West since independence, the zone has proven itself, without exception, of incapable of voting anyone other than its own. In the 1st Republic, it voted mainly Action Group in favour of Chief Obafemi Awolowo with about 69% voters’ turnout. In the 2nd Republic, it voted 78.75% of its total votes cast for UPN in favour of Chief Awolowo, with 70% voters’ turnout. In the June 12, 1993 presidential election, the pattern was repeated more or less the same, except that the total percentage of SDP’s votes in favour of Chief MKO Abiola rose up to 84.5% in the zone. In the 1999 presidential election, mainly because the only two candidates for the presidency were both from the South-West, the zone’s
voters’ turnout was abysmally low (48.09%) with about 68% of the votes cast to APP in favour of Chief Olu Falaye. 2003 also recorded poor voters’ turnout with 71% of votes
cast for Obasanjo’s PDP. In 2011, with no Southwestern candidate fielded by any of the major parties, the South-West voted PDP when a functional alliance with the CPC failed to field in Sen. Tinubu or his nominee. Besides, with the vicious experience of AD in 2003 when the PDP Federal Government uprooted its governments in five states of the zone, the South-West cannot now afford to risk having an opposition PDP government at the federal level again; certainly not after the hard pains and toils of forming the APC. It is therefore existential for the South-West to vote APC at the presidential election.
