5 facts about O TO GE slogan and the collapse of Saraki's dynasty

Kwara Must Change

1. Alh. LAK Jimoh was the first politician in modern history of Kwara state to use the O TO GE slogan in a campaign. O TO GE simply means, Enough is Enough.

Alhaji Jimoh first used the slogan in 2011 when he was contesting the Kwara Central Senatorial seat under the People's Democratic Party (PDP). Bukola Saraki eventually won the ticket and went ahead to represent Kwara Central at the Senate.

While the slogan wasn't popular at the time, there's no taking away the fact that Alh LAK Jimoh used it first and could be rightly credited to be the originator.

2. 8 years later, the slogan idea was pitched again in 2018 immediately after the All Progressive Congress primary election in Kwara State.

After the APC primary election, Islamic singer, Aminat Obirere produced a song titled o to ge as part of a joint album coordinated by Kwara Must Change to promote the candidature of APC governorship candidate, Alh. Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq. The album itself was titled o to ge, but due to some reasons, it wasn't released to the general public. Only selected stakeholders heard it at the time.

So, as far as 2019 election is concerned, the pitcg of o to ge slogan came out from the unreleased project of Kwara Must Change, which was later released few days ago.

3. For some reasons, after perusing all campaign materials supplied to them, the media agency engaged by the APC saw the need to adopt o to ge slogan for the 2019 election and posters and billboards were rolled out with the slogan o to ge.

4. Shortly after, Ibrahim Labaika, a popular Islamic artist released a single titled o to ge.
Labaika popularized the slogan through this track and many began to address him as Mr O TO GE.

5. As the slogan continue to resonate with the people at various places, the state government saw the need to stop it's growing popularity and they attempted to stop the opposition from using it.

However, the controversy generated by the action of government further popularized the o to ge slogan and this particular action ultimately became the greatest mistake of the government and Saraki dynasty until it's eventual defeat at the poll.

Tinubu is your nightmare .

You bloody igbotic chestbeating mofo.
There’s no True leader like Tinubu in igboland . Your leaders are people like terrorist Nnamdi Kanu .
No wonder Nnamdi Azikwe was jealous of Awolowo too .
It’s in you people’s blood

Saraki went out and his sister came in

What makes people think the political elite ever give up power?

It's just a temporary shift

Saraki belong to jail. Omo ale jati jati.

Okay. O to ge on this o to ge news.

Hmmm.. Really?

Anyway, who started it doesn't really matter as those who made it popular and what was/they make out of it.

The song "I will always love you" was not Originally composed by Whitney Houston, but was made popular by her.

I was telling a friend of mine about Lagos gubernatorial election that either "ó tó gẹ́" or not, every politician in Lagos still look upto Jagaban.

The opposition candidate is a mole. In same club (Lagos Island club) with top APC gang including Lion himself. Also never campaigned like he wanted to win. Some people (in Lagos) don’t even know he is running.

Take it or not, Jagaban owns Lagos.

The o to ge movement was a success
Why still talking about it again and again Na??
Abi no more topics on nairaland again

Ik

Age 56
former P.A to president
Former bank MD

Senator for 8 years
Senate president for 4 years

some of you are more than 40 and are only depending on N-power job then you come online and insult an accomplished man...

Hmmmm..... This could be true but these category of people are proud that their family or dad did not liquidate other people's properties/ monies like it was recorded in the Societies Genere bank when it was headed by Bukola Saraki or as the case with Kwara's finance and properties looting not to talk of constituency projects that money was full paid but not carried out or poorly implemented under his watch as Senate president. I would prefer to stay on 30k N-power salary than to spoil my family name (Ilesanmi dun ju oye lo - Good name is better than riches and gold).
