figure007:
what happened some years back is about to repeat itself... ondo pple doesnt like Akeredolu.... leta wait n see the outcome.... i wish ondo dont fall into pdp government again but as things are ......hmmmmmm

It'll be a miracle for Akeredolu to win the election. The PDP man I hear is an akure native and despite being the capital, they've never ruled the state. They and a lot of others believe its now their turn and this might work against Akeredolu.

Whichever way, let the will of ondo people be done

give it to tinubu, he is a tactful politician his protegees are not pushovers, his political feat is so glaring, very little people have achieved what he has, there are times one's influence wanes, i can't say whether he has reached that point .

temmytanny:

You may be right but Ondo people have learnt their lessons from Mimiko lies. Dont forget that Sheriff is also causing havor amongst PDP. I see the elections as 50:50, winner takes all.

my brother am not from ondo but was born and bread there.... Akeredolu is not their man there.... i know things are going on in pdp but things are not going on in the head of the citizens.... they know wat they want ..i pray pdp doesnt enter as well but heyy Akeredolu would have to win their heart this time...may God deliver my able Ondo pple ...Mimiko is a big failure to ondo and the entire nation ....

shukuokukobambl:


Any half intelligent person who has followed my posts or even this thread will realize I see Tinubu as simply one man. I couldn't care less about him. My Yoruba homeland is infinitely more important

Its you and the op who need some growing up to do. How can you turn the election of the governor of a whole state into an issue of one man; Tinubu? Is he your god? Or is he the devil dealing with your destiny?

I saw the primaries as a victory for Akeredolu, you saw it as a failure party for Tinubu who was neither a candidate nor an ondo man. Why?

Turn the table as u like,sane mind knows tinubu lost the election...basic fact
Tinubu himself think he his untouchable,but aketi and other candidates prove him wrong..
In politics u are as good as ur last result, the last results election of kogi and now Ondo has proven to us that tinubu wings has been clipped.
He might overcome maybe later but for now he is down and almost out ...
Had it been he little known Abraham won, tinubu will be hailed by me for pulling through...
I am sad for d likes of oke and Prof ajayi, cos without tinubu influence aketi should have came a distant third in d primary...if u did not know....pls ask

Why does OP pray for Tinubu's downfall? It's none of my business though but I believe politics involves freedom. If Tinubu's candidate could lose in primaries then APC has sent a strong signal of amazing internal democracy. If Tinubu goes ahead to even support Akeredolu during the campaigns then I will conclude that APC is in a league of its own. PDP is continuously suffering from lack of internal democracy.

In case u guys don't know there is a serious battle for the soul of APC in the south west.

Akeredolu is being sponsored and financed by Governor Amosun, Kayode Fayemi, Raji Fashola, Governor El Rufai and Rotimi Amaechi


The group of APC leaders have their own caucus in the APC, they are aligning and strategizing towards 2019


Where did u think Akeredolu got money to house over 1200 delegates in several hotels across Akure, the logistics and campaign finances of Aketi are coming from the men I mentioned above.

These men want to cut Tinubu to size before 2019, they started it in Kogi state, where they were able to get the APC National Body and Kogi State APC to replace the late Abubakar Audu with Yahaya Bello as against Tinubu anointed candidate James Faleke.


Olusegun Abraham was sponsored and financed by Tinubu and Chief Bisi Akande.


More dramas and realignment, will unfold in the coming weeks both in APC and PDP.

This is more like it.

Oblang:


That's why u lots can never get it politically. Politics is beyond being emotional. It's a game. U should know when to bridge alliances sometimes to get what u want. As a matter of fact akeredolu severally has denied those statements credited to him against tinubu. It's still a win win for tinubu.

Thrash,aketi and tinubu are not on talking terms...pls go and find out,ut is a lost for tinubu and gain for PDP in Ondo..

Mixty:
[s]Nobody would have ever imagined that the former NBA chairman, Rotimi Akeredolu would defeat Tinubu's annointed candidate (Segun Abraham) in Ondo state APC primaries. This is someone who openly castigated Tinubu for not keeping to his words.

I have always said it that Tinubu's political influence is overrated.

Does this signal the beginning of the end for the Tinubu's political structure? Is Tinubu gradually becoming irrelevant in the south west and in extension, Nigeria?[/s]

Lol,jagaban is not just a party Leader but a political strategist that plays game of politics in different perspective beyond some people critical thinking.

Akeredolu is a Tinubu candidate but it takes a reasonable politician to understand the game.If u doubt me,checkout Akeredolu's statement after Tinubu was accused of imposition of candidate.
If there was no Abraham's saga,masses and other prominent politician's even in the party may accused Tinubu of imposition of Akeredolu like 2012 which may cause many damage b4 the party primary election nd after during the poll.Abraham was used to diverted such attention.

In the eyes of the Masses, Akeredolu is not Tinubu choice but is clearly seen that jegede is miminko's boy.As a bonafied voter who will you vote for??Definitely someone who is independent of which Akeredolu is not,is just a master plan that ordinary voters' can't understand.

Tinubu will always loyal to some people he believe in (Those who he introduce to politics which are technocrats) nd teaches you unwise people the game of politics.

Tinubu only controls your destiny.

He has fallen Yakata.

If Tinubu controls his destiny, shouldn't that be his concern. Why are you taking panadol for another man's headache?
@ Topic: For me, I believe Akeredolu is the candidate of Tinubt. You may not know this. Akeredolu has been in the good book of the party, having been the councel of the party's candidates having court cases. He is only getting his reward.

If you had any intelligence, you'll realize this year's APC and PDP primaries paraded some of the brightest juggernauts in ondo politics since a very long time. Whichever way it swings, the ondo people will be the beneficiaries and I expect you to dwell on that

Its 2016, yet you're still obsessing over one man? What if he drops dead tomorrow? Will you die and go with him? Will your income reduce or increase because of that? How many times do I have to tell you that for me and other sensible Yoruba, The Yoruba agenda is bigger than Tinubu or anybody ?!!

Mr carmal, I want to assume you're a Yoruba man which is why I'm entertaining your posts. If you're not, biko face your own republic

Bolustic:
Op, please show us one leader from your region that is presently politically relevant as Tinubu. I bet you don't have one. In politics, you dont win all, you lose some too.

I don't know why you IPOBians are obsessed with Tinubu, is it because he is greater than Ojukwu, Zik, Ekweme, Mbadiwe, Ekweremadu combined? You guys should face your unrealistic Biafra and save us all this needless obsession.

Oga if you conduct an election in a neutral state like Kano or Plateau between Rochas and Tinubu I am sure Rochas will flaw him with over one million votes in any of the aforementioned states. Tinubu's political relevance starts and ends in Lagos with few southwestan states because of your attitude of servitude and asslicking.

That's surprising. I always assumed mimiko was a people oriented governor

I pray whoever wins takes serious look at the wishes of the populace. Development is what people need most.

Tinubu has never been relevant in Ondo and Ekiti. I'm from Ondo and we have never liked him here. Any politician supported by Tinubu cannot win in Ondo or Ekiti state.

Whenever I read tripe like this online, I just shake my head. So Tinubu lost an election - who cares? He is not God. All these people that you are biting your heads off for have personal relationships that transcend beyond politics. In the estate I used to live, Amosun, Segun Oni, Mamora and some other APC big-wigs lived there (and still do) for over a decade. Bamidele's house is a 10 minutes drive away in Ikosi. Tinubu's sister-in-law lived a walking distance from both Mamora and Amosun's house. Adeyeye's house is on the same street as Bamidele's. If you go to Ikoyi club's golf section, you would see all these people mingling and laughing without their security details - no hatred.

I knew a lot of these people's kids in school, as long as there is money to spend, they really don't care about who is APC or who is PDP. Its poor and hateful people online that would develop high blood pressure over their matter.

aresa:
Don't you Igbos say the same thing about Asiwaju every year, but he remains the greatest politician in Black Africa...


And sef, Akeredolu was his choice in the previous election and who says he's still not his choice? Simple reverse thinking and "B" move.

Tell me a foreign or African head of state that recognises Tinubu. Person wey small boys like fashola, Dino melaye, dogara, saraki dey use play?

Better wake up; in short take this.

Yet you and your elders don't let one day pass without praying for his downfall? Is that why OBJ and yaradua defeated ojukwu in yeeboe land twice?!

Is that why Theodore orji, as useless as he is still remains one of your political heavyweights in yeeboe land?

Akeredolu an APC member won, Tinubu an APC leader is the one that's being talked about. Some people just wear the man
matter for head like Osuka

I wonder why Mr Widodo's brothers are concerned about Tinubu and the supposed "demystification" like he's the one beheading them
in Shitgbonesia. Na them carry the matter for head pass.

It's not like APC lost to PDP. All the characters involved are yoloba, Akeredolu is yoloba

'I set my goals and objectives in accordance with my vision. I study them and strategically execute them. My detractors discuss my successes and FAILURE because they have nothing to execute. I am in the news more because I'm working, Nigerians discuss active men in the field.
Mentioning any negative news about me will double the wealth of any news media that published it. My name today is a financial market for journalist. Not even elected politicians get the publicity I am enjoying. My comrades, go and work till mentioning your name becomes a source of increased wealth for someone.
Even my weakness create wealth for vendors' - I REMAIN, ASIWAJU BOLA TINUBU.

Tinubu is a master planner.you all have been fooled thinking abraham was tinubu annointed candidate.let's start frm the ministerial appointments.they would given aketi a ministerial post knowing fully well that its abraham dey want to use for ondo state.but No they reserved him till this hour and you think that's just a fluke.pls someone should tell me about abraham,who knows him?what his record and pedigree?the whole thng about tinubu supporting abraham is just a distraction.Aketi is the real anointed candidate.people just fall for it.aketi is the most popular candidate and this same tinubu supported him 2012,and one thing about tinubus character is he never gives us so easily,he will strategize and plan to achieve his aim.and his aim here is to make aketi the governor off ondo state.stop thinking they are fighting.

The fact is that over eighty five percent of Igbos don't even know there is a creature called Tinubu let alone being obessesed about him. He is just celebrated in southwestan Nigeria. He is a non entity in southeastan Nigeria.

...If at all you understand the game called Politics you will have Decipher that Aketi is Tinubu's candidate.

Ask the op where he comes from. Then ask yourself where you come from or have you not just published 2 posts on 1 thread about the same Tinubu?

Then check all the other Tinubu threads that abound on nairaland and find out where the op's come from

You guys will die of depression and inactivity if you stop obsessing about Tinubu

What is he saying
Who brought Jonathan issue here??
Tinubu political sagacity is largely overrated... take that from me....
Tinubu didn't win Jonathan Nigerians did...
Buhari can't win Pdp without new Pdp member...
Tinubu has been trying to dislodge pdp from top seat and kept failing until new Pdp joined him..
On what happen in kogi? Pls go and find out sir it seems u are still a learner politically...

Tinubu ass licker

I think it is a good thing for democracy as a whole and will further consolidate the strengths of the party. And I hope more good candidates will be throwing their hats into various contests within the party knowing they stand a chance and knowing they are not fighting with a hand tied behind their backs in favour of a certain anointed candidate. It is good that the rules of the game are changing and is not rigged in favour of one person or the other. It was predicted. Empires always crumble from within.

By far the wisest comment of all so far #betterThinking

ceeethru:
Lol, Nigerians we really have problem with our mentality, if Abraham had won it would have been that Tinibu has imposed, now Rotimi has won its now Tinubu has been defeated, what played out is politics, what I love most is the transparency and the manner the primary was conducted, if elections were being conducted like this in Nigeria, things would have been better, is not all abt Tinubu nor Rotimi, is about democracy, come to think of it was it not the same Tinubu that brought Rotimi in 2012? So who is Tinubu, who is Rotimi and who is Abraham? To the winner I say congratulations to him and I will advice him to reach out to his party men and work closely with them if he must win the next coming election, he can't do it alone, that's my take.

This is more like it.

I have noticed you never see Amosun and Tinubu together. Tinubu or no Tinubu and his role in his victory, i also know Amosun is Buhari's No1 man in SW.
