So how does 'push APC into the Atlantic Ocean' in a political rally constitute alienating Yorubas?? How does it constitute playing tribal politics??
Who did agbaje instruct to push apc into the lagoon?

The election is no longer between JK and Ambode but Yoruba Vs Igbos! If you are in Lagos this morning, you should be feeling it already!

Meanwhile the oba was not addressing his audience. I hope you were the one that talked about hypocrisy earlier.

According to you yorubas act with a devastating bile ask GEJ. Can you remind me again what was the margin of APC's Victory in the SW after making the loudest noise. APC won the elections because of the votes from the north and not because of the sw.

Ode mr olodo, u need some lectures cos it appears u dnt knw anything, since u dnt knw d rules of election, i will help u, can buhari win election with d votes from north alone? no! even after buhari winning d north, gej still had more dan 25% of votes in d north, with dat alone, gej is online to win, d only region dat saves buhari was south west, gej could nt pull 25% of votes frm south west, if gej could have 25% frm southwest, then he becomes d winner, after winning SE SS, And 25% frm north and SW, So for SW To have denied gej dat 25% of votes means the little votes for apc in d southwest means it was crucial for apc

Continue to fool yourself. JK is as good as the Next Governor of Lagos state. The oba is a stupid and power drunk fool. Many yorubas are not in support of him nor the APC and do not make the mistake of thinking only the igbos would vote for JK.JK is loved by all whether igbo, hausa, Yoruba or minorities

When Oba's wish would be carried out you won't be asked if you voted APC.

I still don't understand why people are blaming JK for what the Oba said!
how did JK turn it into an Igbo vs Yoruba war?

It's just a cheap propaganda with a false logic!

In saner climes, the Oba would be avoided by all parties, and the voters would vote for the candidate he opposed en mass to put him to shame!
Many white Americans voted Obama because some white influential people spoke racist things against him! But the case is different here!

Both of them was about people in the lagoon. What should i be ashamed of? I condemned the oba and his statement, but its ok for agbaje to tow the same line when the apc and its candidate dissociated themselves from the oba.

Obama was smart enough not to get into the racist debate, something jimi failed to do and could work against him.

So it was the Oba that circulated this paper?
Is it only the Igbos that are affected by the issued raised in the pamphlet?
Were other Yorubas not repatriated?
Don't Yoruba and Hausa traders in Balogun, Idumota and Yaba markets pay taxes and levies too? So traders don't pay taxes and levies in markets in SE? Even civil servants and others in private sector complain about Lagos taxes. Why make it look as if Igbos alone are being victimised?

No!!!

One of them was a tirade against a whole people and their free choice to vote whoever they want to ; the other is just mere political talk in a rally against another political party.

There is no comparison. By the way, you have still not stated where Jk said or did something against Yorubas as a response to that acidic statement from the uncount Oba

Obiagelli:
This is the first time i will be commenting on the speech by the oba of lagos, to the average person or mind, it is a ridiculous statement, but looking at it from a political lense, it has become a case of the more you look, the less you see.

The Pdp
The oba's statements to the best of my understanding was not a public one, it was deliberately leaked by agents who taught it could be used to the advantage of the pdp's candidate in lagos since there is not religious cards to be played, ethnic card shocked they jumped at it. (they never learn)

The Apc
The apc was thrown into disarray, they momentum of winning at the center had suffered a setback, while many rushed to denounce the statement, the strategists saw and opportunity and they helped LOUD to music (forgive my english)

The Igbos
As expected, they were mad at the statement and rightly so, they also didn't fail to overblow it. It is expected that the igbos will give 90% of there votes to the pdp but something amazing happened in the last few days, i have seen more igbos (influential leaders) sit at the same tables with Apc chiefs (this would never have happened without this crisis) i have seen many igbo leaders accept apologies and even endorsed the Apc candidate. I have seen igbos in Apc wears and campaign buses around ladipo and alaba.

The yorubas
We expected the yorubas to give 40- 30% of their votes to jimi agbaje because a lot of them had chosen to vote the Apc at the center and the pdp in lagos, like it or not jimi is also yoruba BUT the tide has turned, the direct attacks on their Oba and the claim that lagos is no man's land coupled with jimi's overly courting the igbos at their detriment has irritated a lot of them. The yorubas won't do a shouting match, they act with a devastating bile (ask gej)

Jimi Agbaje
Agbaje also played to the gallery by making silly statements rather than being gentlemanly since the ball was in his court, he displayed obvious influence from bode George and obanikoro, this is not the jimi we know but the god's father push.

Obiagelli
I am indifferent to both candidates, as my fanatic support for the apc does not go beyond buhari and maybe elrufai and fashola. I can't wait to see the results.

VOTE NOT FIGHT.

More oil to your knowledge lamp.

Ok there were all these flyers that were credited to Jimi. Obanikoro was on a radio tour taking about APC not being happy that Igbos won seats. Agbaje went on to say don't push them in lagoon, push them in Atlantic ocean, etc

Overall nationally he won by a margin of 2.4 million in the SW it was about 700000
Buhari won because of votes from the north AND the SW. The two cannot be separated ,he won the North in 2011 but it was insufficient. He needed the POPULAR overall vote which he got in the North and the SW though he got more in the north. He also needed to get 25% in 24 states and the North could only give him 19 he got 25% in ALL 6 SW states compared to just ONE the last time. The contribution of the North to his victory was greater but he could not win without the 25% factor in SW . The SW was the only part of the country that seemed likely to CHANGE its mind from 2011.That sealed his victory this time. Margin of victory in the SW is not the issue but that in a region where he got 25% in One state he now gets it in ALL six and WINS in 5 .

Jimi blew it because he became desperate and overplayed the ethnic card! If he had handled the situation as a statesman, he would have become a formidable rallying point!

When the rhetorics became fiery, he could have acted to pacify the two sides, but he didn't. Instead, he rode on the outrage of the Igbos and unintentionally alienated some of his kinsmen who now regard him with suspicion.

Now the election is no more about issues, and that is where he blew it!
