If they are not happy, why didn't they express it through the ballot??

Jilo83:
Op is bad belle akopati supporter. what do mean by 80percent r not happy with ajimobi winning election. Even we can feel d celebration in my church yesterday. The only few that are not with Ajimobi are: 1.those that prefer stomach infrastructure to infrastructure development, 2.civil servants that are not current with situation of of Nigeria under PDP (Benue own up to 11months salary. osun 6months etc) 3. students that prefer 5000naira Bursary to 50percent reduction in their school fees 4. traders that want to return to street to display their goods. 6. thugs that want to be victimizing people. Tokyo, Auxiliary and their Co travellers in NURTW. I said it b4 that Civil servants did not vote Ajimobi in 2011. not voting him this yr will not make any difference. With new government at the center, Ajimobi will perform beyond expectation. APC! STABILITY IN OYO STATE

Hope no be say one APC member dey ur church? wetin concern church wit ds?
I fear o

4 me, I dnt c dis man as a catalyst of change (apc).. D fact been dat majority dnt lyk IM.. If nt 4 d disunity among d opposition party dnt fnk wud b re-eleted..
Is shoutin development nd nt payin civil servant., is Ogun nt developin her state.? Is he owing?? Mern dis man dnt av a point.. Suppose 2 b ashamed of himself

sketcherJ:
ladies and gentlemen if you are truly in oyo state now and you wont lie...you will see that majority of oyo state citizens if not all the masses are not happy at the result.. and i wonder how did this governor get elected?people has been crying rigging..No jubilation anywhere..d only pple jubilating now would be ajumobi ,his family and some greedy die hard supporters...violence has started ensuring in some places...we dont know how many will die with this dubious 4 years that has been given d incumbent governor (mind u..i am not that biased...but i am a citizen too and i fall in the majority)
God save the good people of Oyo state
stay tuned...dis movie will not be ending soon

Please stop the lies, who are the majority (PDP, Accord and LP i guess) ? the people voted their choice.

the votes was shared among the top 4 parties and APC happen to get superior vote. whoever is not happy should wait till 2019 to vote him out. Of all the good deeds the guy has done for Oyo whoever is ungrateful should hug Transformer.

The point is civil servants are in for a tough ride ,and they know it that is why they are sad. But ppl who aren't govt workers have no worries and they are indifferent. I was talking to an accord party agent today and from all he said I knew they too realised their mistake .I like ajimobi for 2 things mainly whic are ,security and provision of free bus ride for students and subsidies rates for the general public . Can't wait to see the looks on civil servants faces at the state secretariat this morning. They must dance,smile and laugh and show happiness about his reelection even if they are not happy about it.

And as I read through this thread...just SMH...
Here I saw few people that really understood what's going on in the state...(Non partisan)...
And many that are just bn deceived wt useless change slogan if not for the sole credible candidacy of GMB(some are beneficiary of Ajimobi's gov, some based their judgement on read news, some bn deluded with minor project they saw on display)...
.
.
I wonder why a single head (compared to Millions that are suffering) will praise Ajimobi for anything in the state...even when foreigners testified that Oyo state had never had luck of any Governor...(Italian,Chinese,Lebanese,Egyptian,Korean,indian and Ivorian that I had met one way or the other in this state)...
Anyways Ajimobi if God says you'll change...better...and if not keep on sweetmouthing ur people and b investing at high level for abroad with big boost for your wife coy (WAW)....
.
.
Posterity will judge all....

nw, knuckleheady, ask your self this question, if you work for a month and you are not being paid until 4 or 5mths, how would you feel? has ajimobi stopped his own salary or those in HOA's salary for just a month? has his wife stopped her daily/weekly visit to the UK? Dude, think deep before u mount your hand on that keyboard or keypad to type, okay?

Play mature! we r violence-free ppl, ur attitude has even shows who u r. I'm nt comparing failures, jst to let u abt pensioners n civil servants in other states n to let u understnd dat Ajimobi is nt perfect n he has done his best so far.

AJimobi's wife going to UK or USA is nt d point.. dey do go all those places b4 dey emerge.. so find anodatin talk. well, i understnd ur point for nt being paid for 4-5 months bt i jst want u to look at d good side of this man.. he is nt bad as u r complaining. dt is d only weakin point i c in him... n nt only him, we ve some oda states like dat

alrahmanonline:
not only Ajimobi, ask amosu,aregbe and co,you people don't seem to understand the non payment of salary has to do with the pdp led FG, Take aregbe for instance, they were being payed 4billion on revenue allocation which is not enough to pay salary, yet the money was reduced to 2.5 billions, now tell me how do you want them to cope? you can do the research yourself..
thanks

The excuse of little from FG is non-material and deficient.

Chief awolowo ran his government with revenue from agriculture why not the yoruba governor go heavily in agric.

Even the oil is not from our area and nigeria is unstable country. Those yoruba governors should know that going into agric is necessary and there is no other way on that.

hamzatkayode:
I hate it when ppl r talkin abt civil servants n pensioners... please consider other civil servants in other states.. y r u so greedy.. Oyo is owin 3 months.... Even PDP rulling state is owing nothin less than 5 months [ pleteau, benue, even Osun where apc is rulling ]... please think well... dont be greedy.

Broda,, m nt greedy nor self centered.. Dis man in questn neva showd any sympathy/apology 2 dem..He said it openly dar he wunt pay nd he wud b re-elected. (Over confidence) gat no manner of speech @all..
Ok, wud u tell me is allowances is nt paid up 2 date?? D fact remains d masses ra complainin bro.. Even @ Secretariat ganself workers der aint happy wift im oo wunt lie u.. Bro der is lot of tins 2 b onfold if u dnt knw

Ajimobi won squarely. workers didn't vote him like you said but he got highest votes in the enlightened areas of ibadan like ibadan NW,SW and ibadan north but lost in ibadan less cities like Akinyele, ona ara, Egbeda, Lagelu.. and in other zones outside of ibadan he either came 2nd or 1st. 2nd in ogbomoso, 1st in oyo , oke ogun an ibarapa.. so how do you expect him to loose? coupled with the facts that ppl were swayed by the fact that APC at center will make it easier for oyo state to tap from the federal if we also voted APC

MARKone:
But I learnt the man has done a lot for Oyo state, far better than what Akala even did in his ogbomosho constituency and ladoja, why are the people still not happy, or they just want to maintain the one governor one term unofficial policy.

Leave the idio...ts!
The only issue with Ajimobi is not managing the outstanding pension and gratuities saga well, but it will be daft to blame him entirely for the mess.
He has done well in the face of rising wage bill and declining federal govt allocation

Though I never supported him, but I knew he was going to win because the oppositions aint cooperating!

Why are you sounding like the OYO people had it any better under Akala or ladoja's reign?

lakefist:
Don't mind them jare...salary payment under Ajimobi is even far better compare to other past governors.Despite the fact that PDD at the central refuse to give allocation to APC states they still make sure things are balanced that wil change now since APC is now at the centre.

This smirks of crass ignorance. Monthly allocation is statutory. PDP-led government would not REFUSE (as you claimed) to pay APC-controlled states while paying PDP.

In the case of Oyo state, Ajimobi took a bond on behalf of the Oyo State government, and the FG Government, being a guarantor of the bond, has to deduct certain amount every month from Oyo state monthly allocation before it is released to the state. Thats why the monthly allocation in Oyo state has reduced (coupled with the fact that the oil price has fallen in the international market). You cant blame the Federal Government for that, you should be asking your Governor what he used the bond money to do and if there was a genuine need to take the bond in the first place.

Bros, those states in d middlebelt like Plateau and Benue are on strike 'cos of minimum wage. it is understandable that they're not being paid 'cos of the "no work, no pay" rule. But in a state where d workers are working and still not paid their entitlements(kudos to those that have their own personal businesses). What do u expect them to eat, transport themselves to their place of work and support their families? Granite? Tar? Gutter sand or what? Oga, tell me!

What makes u a matured adult?

Zoom off.
We are discussing serious issues

Rexyl:
You mean the State wasn't given ecological funds? You need more enlightenment bro to get fact right. Though I congratulate governor Ajimobi, he played the game smartly

Yes the state wasn't paid...cos the president decides who gets that, now u go make ur research.

I think it is better we look at issues all round and move away from this socisl media hype and band wagoon opinions. As we are getting more educated, let's also try to be more informed. This will help us make decisions or form opinions that are close to reality.
I will start by asking, did the schools just went bad during Ajimobi? whatever is bad now did not go bad overnight. Good and sustained governance is long years of performance handed down from tenure to tenure. we talk about destruction of house, what do they want, build the house in the line of flow of water and put the life of thousands in danger through flooding. if that structure is approved by government you can pull a case. They say stores on the road. For the fact that one government turned a blind eye and you move your table of articles to the main road does not make it right. There are approved set back for road in nigeria. If you are using the space in one government does not make it right. You are just trading on borrowed time. Edo, Lagos, Ogun and others cleared the street for decongestion of roads and futher development.
In one of the post, somebody rightly described what has happened to govt allocation for sometime now. You would expect that allocation will be going up if the federal govt wants more people in jobs but it was cut. cost of barrel of oil is still down. This will limit what the government can do with the reduced allocation in the face of these huge underdevelopment. Right now, correct me if am wrong Ajimobi is collecting less than what previous govt were getting and they did't do this development. What is happing to most of the state is that they wanted to deliver the gains of democracy to the people but their plans were cut short due to the cut in allocation. They are being forced to look inwards to sustain it. We will still shout ah! we were not paying so and so tax in so and so era.
What Ajimobi has done in this short time is impressive. I will agree he took on too many projects. It will seem like biting more than he can chew. Building and opening of drainage and road construction are heavy capital project that even the federal government is afraid of. He is no God. will not dissolve the challenges away just like that. Not paying workers and retirees is BAAADDD!!!!
The people that are crying no money are those who think public money is for sharing. The previous administration has created the bad impression such that doing business in any govt office in Oyo is a real pain in the ass. The surprising thing is that people are crying along with them. They are calling for sharing of what belong to all of us and we think it is right. I live and do business in Oyo state.
Constructive critizisim is good, let us do it with fact to bring the best out of our govt. I don't believe in bring down syndrom. You can not satisfy everyone anyway. Am not a card carying member of any party but I belong to the party of Good governance.
We pray he continue from where he stopped.

Rigged!

stay tuned...dis movie will not be ending soon

did u just said majority are not happy? I thought majority carries the vote....democracy!

masinga07:
Am surprises some people are saying Ajimobi is turning ibadan to lagos rubbish. for God sake how do u justify someone who hasnt paid retired primary school teachers for about 14 gud months nd oda pensioners for many months. LAUTECH staffs havent recieved a dine dis year. he constructed some double lane in ogbomoso but u can stand for 1 hr nd count how many cars dat pass der. d truth is people are badly suffering. d man has won but dat was only becos of selfish interest of Ladoja, Akala and Teslim.

Majority of the civil servant are not happy. He is a failure as per Payment of Salary! As a Corp member serving in Oyo State, the last time I was paid State allowance was December last year.

ibnew:

Please I humbly beg to differ on the highlighted point. There is no excuse for people in position of governance. When anyone is elected into position of governance, he inherits both the assest and liabilities. Saying the rot in education was handed to his government is inexcusable. He chose to achieve total turnaround in governance during his manifesto.

If Oyo state electorates are not happy, trust me they will not vote for Ajimobi! I bet the Op is generalising his feelings!

adeboyepeterayo:

Dat means you are 4rm oyo...I mean On Your Own...d voice of the masses

BiHung:
Only greedy people would not be happy. They are sad that the money of the state will continue to be used for development instead of being squandered on stomach infrastructure. Nonsense

Ajimobi is turning ibadan to a city like lagos..and u are there hating.

Well, I'm not in a position 2 assess Ajimobi cos ain't frm Oyo state. However, dat he transformed Ibadan doesn't mean he's trans4d Oyo state. Ibadan is only d capital. Same applies in kwara State wia all devt is Ltd 2 Ilorin @ d expense of others so much u find it difficult 2 call any other community a city in d whole of d state.

Analysis of Oyo guber poll.
APC- 327320-36.26%
Accord- 256520-28.20%
Lp- 187111-20.73%
PDP- 79019-8.75%
SDP- 54740-6.06%
Total vote cast: 902710.
Number of votes won by d governor: 327320
Number of votes won by others: 575390.
Total percentage won by d governor: 36.26%
Total percentage won by others: 63.73%
Going by d voters, 63.73% of d voters don't want him back, 36.26% of d voters want him back.
It was d splitting of those contestants dat gave him Victory.
Had it been they reached an agreement to merge together wen they did a meeting den, they wuld av defeated him.

Hey , you your calculation is totally wrong . If u claimed that the total percentage of votes 63.73% don't want him back , then add his own (Ajimobi) percentage with the others and remove ladoja's percentage , that means 28.20% wants Ladoja to gorvern while 71.80 does not want him back and you can calculate for others too .so all in all Ajimobi still get the most popular votes that cut across every local govt. In the state . So you are wrong on that bro . Cheers !

See Ajimobi is the worst Gov da̶̲̥̅̊† Oyo state has ever had. He is not making the civil servant happy at all. He refused to pay the pensioners. Imagine his statement."Don't the pensioners have children to feed them.Did he ever pray to work and not earn his entitlement in life. I guess there were some rigging somewhere.
