Igbos, Yorubas, Hausas and every living thing in Lagos will vote for Sanwo-Olu. The reason is simple

The man is working hard to get our votes already. Everywhere is painted with his face. Billboards, posters, and even on radio. That is how someone serious should act.

I would have loved Lagos to change hands though, but for the umpteenth time, Agbaje and the PDP aren't ready.

Sanwo-Olu will win, unless God says otherwise

Don't be fooled... APC is playing dirty politics. They are using the power of incumbency to suppress Agbaje's campaign... The stolen bill boards, destroyed posters and all sorts are the realities on ground...

The era of childish reply here is no longer my pattern.

The candidates are doing their best to corner igbo votes from day one they started campaign......

Law or no law...the importance cannot be over emphasised....

You need to grow up...

Sanwu-olu and agbaje knows better on how to get votes....

Is not based on hate or dirty heart but simply on rudiments of poltics.

Whoever plays well and negotiates well gets the votes.


Secondly you don't need to act like this or this way ur heart is going...u keep hurting yourself and make ursef look angry and hut....


Even in east same pattern goes as we also curry other ethnic extraction for votes.

Igbo love to hate alot, Yoruba is d only tribe that accomodate with love but with all this they bite the hands that feed them, all the things igbo do in Lagos cannot be done anywhere in d north, they will have shave up their head.

And you believe by removing Agbaje billboards Sanwo will win?

Just watch and see how it goes.

AgbariOjukwu1:


Lol, Yorubas dey price Igbos for N300 million , this one dey here dey rejoice.. Ambode did same thing in 2014 but what was the end result ? He made sure you guys can only access Lagos State owned tertiary institutions with at least a credit pass in Yoruba.

When Sanwo-Olu enters , he will make a law that all poto poto pigs must give their children Ogbomosho tribal marks if they want to continue staying in Lagos

Lol
Give them tribal marks and Yoruba names at Berger before they enter Lagos.

It is cheaper to buy the support of the entire Igbos in Lagos than to buy a plot of land in Lekki.

U are very right. These people are very hostile n hateful. Go to UNN. In a department there only nsukka people are lecturer, no other igbo.

Joe igbokwe as the one co-ordinating igbo group in lagos is the best joke to end year 2018

With that thing called "igbokwe" Apc has failed". Moreover it is not my business. Apc or Pdp shuld go to blazes for all i care.

Ahead of the 2019 general election, the governorship candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, and his All Progressives Congress (APC) counterpart, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, are at different stages of negotiation to try to get the support of the Igbo residing in the state, Akelicious can report.

While Sanwo-Olu has allegedly agreed to reward the Igbo with a position in the State Executive Council (SEC) and release N300 million for the purpose of mobilisation, Akelicious investigation revealed that Agbaje was still in talks with different Igbo groups and leaders in the state.


Multiple sources confirmed the quest of the two governorship candidates to Akelicious at the weekend, noting that Sanwo-Olu appointed the Publicity Secretary of Lagos APC, Mr. Joe Igbokwe “to coordinate Igbo leaders and residents to support him and other APC candidates in the state.”

An APC leader, who spoke with Akelicious in confidence, disclosed that the Igbo leaders had allegedly accepted the offer “to cede a cabinet position to an Igbo resident and N300 million as conditions to canvass support for the APC and its candidate in the March 2, 2019 governorship election.”

Following the sealing of the deal, the source revealed that Sanwo-Olu “had already agreed to release N100 million before Christmas with a promise to settle the remaining part before the end of January 2019.”

However, according to the source, some Igbo leaders, mainly the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) leaders, are dissatisfied with the offer because they were initially demanding N1 billion, among other conditions, to support the APC candidate in Lagos State.

Consequently, the source noted that Igbokwe “has lost ground as long as Igbo people in the state are concerned. For some Igbo leaders, they believe Igbokwe cheapened the Igbo with N300 million deal.”

Another competent source, who also craved anonymity, claimed that Agbaje had initiated talks with different Igbo groups and leaders in the state ahead of the March 2, 2019 governorship election. The source disclosed that majority of Igbo leaders were negotiating with the PDP candidate for a better deal, noting that the Igbo meetings with Agbaje, started since the last four weeks, are gaining momentum.

According to the source, most Igbo leaders are more comfortable with Agbaje for different reasons. First, they have strong affinity with the PDP. Second, they want a government that protects their interest better. Third, they did not like the way Lagos APC maltreated Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

However, the source noted that some influential Igbo leaders, like the former military governor of Imo and Lagos states, Rear Admiral Ndubisi Kalu, were not part of the meetings with the PDP candidate.

In telephone discussion with Akelicious yesterday, Igbokwe admitted that he was the one coordinating Igbo residents for APC and its governorship candidate in the state. He said he had been able “to secure Igbo support for Sanwo-Olu without any condition attached to it.”

Igbokwe, however, denied the claims that Sanwo-Olu had agreed to cede a cabinet position to an Igbo resident and release N300 million for the purpose of mobilising Igbo voters in support of the APC and all its candidates.

The APC state publicity secretary said, “It is not true that there is an agreement to give Igbo a commissionership slot if Sanwo-Olu wins the governorship election. Also, our decision is not based on any pecuniary gain or political patronage.

“However, all we are asking from the government and people of Lagos State is a deal to protect the interest of Igbo people and residents in the state. We are business people. Igbo people have huge investment in Lagos State, cutting across different sectors of the economy.

“We are grateful that the government and people have accommodated us over the years without rancour. Our support for Sanwo-Olu is a way to show appreciation to the government and people of the state.”

datopaper:
Y Igbo dominate politics of 2019?

lol....sarcasm

Metuh:
Yet their skull mining brothers on Nairaland said Igbos are inconsequential in a no man's land.

before u guys start shouting marginalisation again

Whothecapfits:
Igbos always with the illusion of self-importance since pre-colonial administration

It's your brothers who are pursuing Igbo votes that u should talk to since u are pained.

Quite a shame that u people who are on nairaland making noise that Igbo votes are irrelevant have seen that you have been telling yourselves lies.

Hypocrisy is one disease that you people have. You people need repentance asap.

Strikethem:
Oh, so u do that in east lol.

The world has advanced and left ur likes behind in osogbo.

Sacarsm is always found in the midst of hypocrites.

What he said is real but he was deceiving himself thinking it is not.

Sanwo don't need no igbo votes. Sanwo Na governor in waiting.

Strikethem:
Ok, we will know how significant you are when you make sanwo olu change lagos yoruba law.

Don't worry
Just watch and see.

The only thing though is that igbos don't really care.
If we care, it would change.

bigsmoke2:

Yes o.

You know better than sanwo olu who is actually on ground.

Okoyeeebos:


Lol

Pained.

Why is Sanwo Olu campaigning so hard when his main opponent Agbaje appears to not want to be governor?

post=74286026:
What occupation did Tinubu advised Agbaje to change to the last time again?!

Someone should remind us please!

YOUR JOKE NO FUNNY,MAKE UP ANOTHER ONE.

Igbo's are only economic migrant in Lagos and all other south west states nothing more... go ask ur fathers

Vtrd:

Pained.

Your leaders know better, but the nobodies on nairaland are trying to unprofitably arrogant.
They know who makes Lagos tick. It is not the useless Yoruba immigrants constituting nuisance.

If we are not that significant, why would you want to press our mumu button?

Lol @'yoruba immigrants constituting nuisance' ..

Kai na wao!

Some people will never be objective in this. In the 2015 what was the margin of defeat. And that was when everyone wants GEJ out but still PDP came close in lagos. Now the pendulum has changed.
The igbos have majority population in Alimosho, which happens to be one of the biggest if not the biggest in lagos, all the igbo that contested for lagos state house won.
Go to oshodi-isolo you will see a handful, Surulere nkor, the population of the igbos keep increasing in lagos.
I recently went for corrections on my voter card, i was shocked at the numbers of igbos i met and keen to get their card.
Any wise candidate should win them on his side.

This guy is a Joker for saying the bolded. Is it the same Alimosho that I was born and have lived all my life except the few years I was out of the country or another Alimosho somewhere else?. Alimosho that is always locked down for APC. If Alimosho is dominated by Igbos do you think APC would be recording landslide victory there every election year? When every one knows most igbos allign more with PDP. Oga watch what you say online. Every Tom, Dick and Harry will just come online and be saying rubbish.
