Ogun State and it's Politics

lenghtinny:


It seems you don't understand ogun politics. The triple whatever is not popular in his Yewa axis not to talk of egbas. Egbas are neutral in this case and they got nothing to lose. Don't think they will come out massively to vote for someone that's unknown.

The joker lies in the east and this side is known to be anti-apc. Amosun should better start oiling his rigging machine or his downfall will be much worse than Daniel's in 2011.

Quote me for future reference.

The fact that Amosun is running is the joker for APC in Ogun Central...Any day any time, Amosun has Ogun Central in his pocket because of his infrastructural feats in d district...hence, he will definitely deliver the central for APC...While Ota is locked down for APC too...As far as APC takes Yewa/Awori and Egba...they just need a fraction of votes from Ijebu/Remo to win d game.

senatordave1:

You lie.yewa people will vote more for GNI while the egbas will deliver for triple A

GNI can only perform in 2 LGs in Yewa...Yewa North and his LG, Imeko/Afon...Yewa South will vote triple A and he will sweep his own LG Ipokia...Ota has always bn pro-Amosun.

EsotericMonk:
I'm sorry for reading too much into this but there is something with APC and their candidates. Whenever they have a chance to pick a Muslim, be rest assured that the Muslim would be picked as governor.

The few exceptions in which SW elective positions of note have gone to a Christian, it was one in which they either had no choice or their hands were tied.

This is my personal observation, don't coman tell me how an insignificant Ward councilor position or deputy governor position was given to a Christian.

Good observation but it depends.
The way we do our politics is different from other tribes.
Ekiti state has 80% Christians so it has to be a Christian. Other state are mixed so they do it anyhow. Look at Mrs Tinubu, Mrs Bisi Akande, Mrs Amosun, Mrs Fashola. All of them are Christians.
South West are just what they are. No problem!

senatordave1:

You lie.yewa people will vote more for GNI while the egbas will deliver for triple A

You've shown that you know Ogun State politics even more than those who claim to come from the state. I've discussed the chances of the APC candidate on the other thread so I won't be saying much. Let me just correct one or two things. GNI won't get more votes than AAA in Ogun West(Not Yewa o). He's not really popular in Ado-odo/Ota and has always performed there very poorly. The margin between him and Amosun in 2015 was huge and it was worse in 2011. Remember he was in PDP in 2015 but in an unpopular PPN in 2011. Same scenario will play out in 2019. His ADC is not that popular in the state and Obasanjo will be neutral in the governoship election. Remember also that Ado-Odo/Ota is the 2nd most populated lga in Ogun State and the votes from there alone cover almost 2 LGAs in Ogun West. I know other lgas in Ogun West that GNI will not win and the margins in the ones he will win will be very few, not even upto 1000. PDP will pick Adebutu and he won't get the support of Ogun Central. His performance there will be very poor I can tell you. Now to Ogun East, Adebutu is from Iperu(Remo) but the Ijebus want a core Ijebu man and not somebody from Remo. Because of this he won't get their absolute support. The performance(whether 1st or 2nd term) of Amosun in Sagamu will come in good for APC. It's really looking good for the APC candidate.

Tegbe is a Christian and an Anglican member

omoelerin1:
Have your PVC vote whoever pleases you.
Your politicians have one vote each.

My brother I don't agree with you less but my fears is in this political band wagonism being brandished everywhere. Most people will still fall victim of all these guys. In Nigeria you won't be out of place to say politicians have more than one vote. As they deploy their rigging machineries during and after the elections. May God help us

. Are you dead between 2003 & 2011? you people have used your chance during Gbenga Daniel

Amosun is a fraud. Amosun turned Ijebu remo towns to villages with neglected & decayed roads network. Awujale will never forget him on behalf of Ijebu land. Magboro, Arepo, Alagbole/Akute/Lambe, etc will remember there was a governor after may 29, 2019. Agbara, despite industries & taxes have no government presence other than revenue agency. Amosun cannot tell us who to vote for.

Comrade Oshiomhole, Asiwaju Tinubu & APC, Amosun candidate is unacceptable to the Ijebus.
In the last election, PDP got reasonable votes from Ijebu land. This time around, any candidate coming through Amosun has lost before election in Ijebu land.

We have the choice of voting for another candidate.

Religious has nothing to do with governance in Yoruba land. Baba Jakande & Jafojo are both Muslim when Baba Jakande was the governor.

You don't know me, so stop using statements like "are u dead..." we can argue without insults.

senatordave1:

Well,now most states zone guber posts according to their three senatorial zones.ogun cannot be left out.from 1999 to 2003,osoba has taken the turn of ogun cental(egbas).from 2003-2011,daniels has taken the turn of the east.hes actually a remo man,the minority subtribe in ogun east with 3 lgas.the ijebus have 6 lgas.amosun from 2011 has taken the turn of the egbas again.
Its now the turn of ogun east dominated by the yewa/aworis with 5 lgas. it was denied them in 2011 .by 2027 when the guber post shifts to ogun east again,the ijebus who are the majority in ogun east will take it naturally.the ijebus cannot have it now.pdp candidate will likely be adebutu a remo man from ikenne lga while senator kashamu will likely decamp to another party and get the ticket.both will divide ogun east votes

Who denied the egbado's in 2011?
Now back to the topic. In 2011, some of us cried and screamed that it wasn't right for Amosun to be the governor because it was the turn of the yewa's or egbado as I like to call them. But the egba's reminded us that egbado is part of egba. And that we should revert to the two original administrative divisions which is egba and ijebu. The egbado's in 2011 didn't object to the arrangement. is it not annoying? So we had egba (osoba)--- ijebu(daniel) -- egba (amosun) and now we should have ijebu. Is it now that amosun remembers that egbado are differrnt from egba's? When he was told that in 2011, he played dumb. Suddenly he want to remind us that egbado are differrnt from egba's. Is he thinking ijebu people are crazy or what. If you follow the voting pattern in the last election you will understand what I am saying. More people in ijebu voted for GNI (an egbado man) than they did for Amosun, that should tell u something. The egbado lost their chance in 2011 and 2015. They should wait till 2027

Amosun cannot impose his candidate on us. We know his game. He has looted the state. He wants a cover-up while he runs to Senate taking over the slot of Senator Lanre Tejuoso

Tobimillar1:


let me "school" you in history a bit.
You see, now we have three senatorial zones. It wasn't always like that. Before now we have two. The ijebu's and the egbas. What is now known as yewa, was originally called egbado. Which was part of the egba's. But for mischief they created a third division from the egba's and called it yewa. So now we have three divisions. But politically in ogun state, we know it's two divisions. So when we returned to democracy in 1999, we elected olusegun osoba as the governor. He is an egba man from abeokuta. And after him, gbenga Daniel an ijebu man from omu (some of us have reservations about that, but thats another story entirely) had his time. After Daniel, it was the turn of the egba's (either egba or egbado which is now yewa) . And you would have expected the egba's (Inclusive of yewa) to bring someone from egbado as governorship candidate. But No, they didn't do that which is none of our business here in ijebu. So they brought out ibikunle amosun an egba man . Now it's the turn of the ijebu's. We can either bring someone from ijebu ode, ijebu waterside, ijebu north, anywhere , as long as its ijebu and that shouldn't concern the egba's. same way it didn't concern us when they brought out amosun, when they could have brought somebody from egbado. Do u understand now

This is not entirely true Sir and this kind of story can only be sold to the indomie generation.
There were two provinces in Ogun state, the Egba/Egbado province and the Ijebu Province but this is no longer used in the zoning of political offices. Remember that Olusegun Osaba was not returned elected for a second term as Gbenga Daniel, Who claim to be from Remo Zone of the state( Which was yet to produce a governor then) defeated him at the poll in 2003. You may have your reservations about his origin but it is believed that Daniel is from Ojumele side of Sagamu and we have since been made to recognise 4 zones in Ogun state: EGBA, IJEBU, REMO AND YEWA/AWORI.
All these zones, except yewa/Awori have produced the state governor.
Going by Senatorial district division, Ogun Central and Ogun East have both produced the state governor but Ogun west is yet to.
We are yewa/awori and we are in no way related to the Egba people.
We are now very united and more determined than ever to produce the next Governor of Ogun state.

Glink2018:
Next governor of Ogun state.

Nah Muslim sef... anyhow jare..

Fayose and his deputy are both Christians
Immediate past administration in Osun had both the governor Oyinlola a Christian, his deputy a Christian. Same in Ondo.
These are governor/deputy Christian/christian tickets in PDP. Yet PDP was never tagged a Christian party.
So what's d problem with the oversensitivity of some Christians?

South West doesn't use religion as instruments to choose Oba (king) or Governor because no religion discrimination in Yoruba states.

We are not interested in your analysis. Saying Daniel is from Ojumele will bring another story that would waste energy. Logically, it is irrational to forget that Ijebu land is yet to produce a governor while Segun Osoba & Amosun are from Egba because the tenure of late baba Onabanjo has nothing to do with this dispensation. If a candidate lost an election after first term, it means the candidate has finished his term. If he had ruled well or acceptable to the people, he would have won for second tenure.

Moreover, you cannot force the Ijebus to vote for candidate presented by yewa or the one imposed by Amosun.

That sentence, "Egba ati egbado, nkan kan naa ni" was used by the egba people to politically rub our fathers prior to 1999. No son/daughter of yewa/ awori decendant agreed to such statement post 1999.
We are not part of the Egba people as we share different culture and history. In all fairness, the yewa awori is the next to produce the next Governor if the zoning system is considered.

Fine Bobo

We won't waste our energy to convince you either. I only replied him because there were a lot of make-beliefs in his submissions. Anyway, the ijebus have never for once stopped appearing at the poll and we know that 2019 won't be in anyway different. We are ready more than ever and victory is very obvious for all to see this time.

OK. We shall see. You are indirectly telling me Amosun won in 2015 despite losing in most part of Ijebu land.OK. We shall see

Any Yoruba man or woman who wrote here that APC is a Muslim party because of the choice of Akinlade must have been a bastard; pardon my French, please.

Check history:

In the 6 states of the South West; talking about indigenes (not residents) these are the majority and minority ratios:

1. Lagos: Muslim majority
2. Oyo: Muslim majority
3. Ondo: Christian majority
4. Osun: Muslim majority
5. Ogun: Both Christian and Muslim (50:50)
6. Ekiti: Christian majority

So, in a way, it is almost a ratio of 3 to 3 for each religion.

Now, in Ogun state, Amosun is the first Muslim elected Governor. Previous Governors were all Christians: Onabanjo, Osoba (twice), Daniel.

Oyo state with majority Muslim population overwhelmingly voted Bola Ige, a Christian, in 1979. They also voted Omololu Olunloyo, another Christian, as his successor, in 1983.

In Osun State, with Muslim majority, they voted Oyinlola and Erelu Obada (both Christians) as Governor and Deputy Governor in 2003!

Yoruba people do not “carry religion on their heads” (pardon my street lingo) like some other tribes. Only among Yoruba people could you see a Muslim husband drive his Christian wife to church, deliverance, crusade, etc with no issue whatsoever!

During PDP’s reign in 2003 to 2011, ALL their Governors were Christians except Ladoja and they were voted by Muslims without any consideration for their religion! They were Oyinlola, Akala, Daniel, Fayose (twice), Agagu; and yet, Muslims did not complain.

In fact, when Akala won Oyo in 2011, ALL the 5 PDP Governors in the South West were Christians (Olagunsoye Oyinlola, Alao Akala, Segun Oni, Segun Agagu, Gbenga Daniel); Muslims not only voted them, they (Muslims) did not complain.

No single tribe in Nigeria practically demonstrates religious tolerance than Yorubas.

I have got countless mix of Muslims and Christians as aunties, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, in-laws, etc and we relate perfectly well as people bound by blood! No discrimination whatsoever!

Osoba gives room for this impunity, now amosun is in total control of APC in Ogun state. He should HV not defected prior to 2015 , amosun wouldn't HV b in total control. Governor should b answerable to d people start from organized direct primary, which will HV given power to d members of d party. But now is hand pick of Mr amosun will governed Ogun.

Christian or Muslim either ways pls come and work Oke aro , matogun, giwa roads for us ...... we are still part of Ogun state

See as it all plays out.

Bros actually that part of ogun is a lie.

Christian are majority in Ogun state unless you want to tell me that Christian and Muslim are 50-50 too in Osun state.

Nice analysis though.

And dont forget to add that tolerance never complete until Muslim start allowing there daughter to marry Christian.

I bet you can use the votes of only the Ijebus to become governor of the state then. No candidate of yours will win in Ogun central so tell me how you want to win the election. Who's the candidate you want to even present? Ladi(who's even Remo o)? That one won't get up to 20 percent in Ogun central and I doubt he will get up to 10 percent in Ogun West. Just accept your fate and wait till 2027.

What's this again now. My mother was a Muslim but she married my dad who was a Christian. My uncle too married a Muslim wife. I can count so many Muslim ladies who married Christians as husbands. So what's it you are Christian. This is South West nobody cares the name you call your God as long you have the fear of God in you, you are Omoluabi. It was in 2015 that this issue of religious discrimination started coming up in the west all thanks to PDP. The more reason PDP will find it hard to rule any South Western state again.

In 2015, the ijebu voted more for GNI an egbado man than they did for Amosun. Now the ijebu's are reminding u guys of what u said in 2011 and 2015 .
