Why is his name Kwankwaso. In 1992, he was Rabiu Musa.

RockHard:
Hypocrites. So now Lagosians are supposed to learn from Kano people because Kwankwaso's handpicked candidate/godson (who also happens to be his son inlaw) is winning kano? Una dey condemn Tinubu in Lagos while praising Kwankwaso who handpicked his son-in-law in Kano to replace Ganduje his former protege -- same thing Rochas Okorocha was condemned for. I am sure these hypocrites would have also praised Saraki if he had won. This Igbo obsession with Lagos and Tinubu matter is really something. Tufiakwa.

dwilliams:
I think I may have to apologize, they said no to Atiku and they are also saying No to Gandollar, I am impressed

oyatz:
Their fixation on the demystification of Tinubu is NOT borne out of altruistic desires for any good governance but the need to see the downfall of Tinubu.

OkoroPeugeot:
These elections just show how badly and unprofessionally the presidential elections were righed

StOla:
I hope you praised these same Kano "illiterates" when they resoundly rejected the Atiku that the educated Southerners carried on their heads and backbone, and rather re-elected Buhari as President?

Free advice: Wait for official results before you start praising those you would soon insult.

Irony of Politics.
Funny thing here is that they are even praising the Kwankwaso political godfather who enthroned his boy Ganduje to replace him after his own tenure as Governor, and is now trying to sack that same Ganduje because he broke free from the Kwankwasiyya godfatherism. How then is Kwankwasiyya different from Jagabanism that we should then celebrate one who wants to continue controlling Kano, but condemn same in Lagos?

Or is Kwankwaso not a single man like Tinubu and with a political thumb over Kano state as governor in 1999, just like Tinubu as governor in Lagos in same 1999?

Yet a clown is saying the Kano "illiterates" are rejecting godfatherism? Is it by embracing a Kwankwaso/Kwankwasiyya who is the godfather of Ganduje who wants to be free from his control? Is it by voting as Governor, the son in law of Kwankwaso who was forced on the PDP?

Would we have celebrated freedom of Lagos if electorates rejected Ambode as APC candidate, and rather voted a candidate of Tinubu and Jagabanism if they had decamped to the Labour Party upon disagreement with Ambode in APC?


Lastly, is there a sound opposition party in Lagos? Or is it the same PDP that the state party chairman, Moshood Salvador, decamped to APC last year? The same Lagos state PDP that the party chieftains in Lagos use such exalted positions in PDP to negotiate their entry into APC?

I think you lot don't reason before you come online to critic Tinubu. Majority of the opposition politicians in Lagos are lazy. Very lazy I repeat. Election isn't about taking out godfathers, it is about selling your agenda to the people.

Jimi hid for 4yrs. He didn't show up when Lagosians were fed up with the misdeeds of Ambode. He didn't engage the electorate for 4yrs, then he will now come out and be claiming he wants to free lagos from a godfather. He was addressing Lagosians from the comfort of his parlour and on social media. Is that not laziness?

On the other hand, Jide was all over the place, selling his candidacy to the vulcanizer, hairdressers, artists, road sweepers, etc. And you expect that man to fail. He didn't depend on the political structure of APC in Lagos only. He went far and wide to reach all Lagosians in 6 months. That is hard work. He didn't take anything for granted.

Majority of Jimi supporters on twitter are not voters in Lagos. After 12 yrs of defeat, is it not right to to have re-strategized? In 2015, rather than do hard work, he depended on Abuja forces and introduced ethnic politics. That's sheer laziness.

The same Tinubu that you guys criticise is always encouraging his party members to work hard and earn every support they get. Tinubu that you claim is a godfather ignored the loyalty of Ambode and listened to his party members from the grassroot when they said they don't want Ambode anymore. He gave in to their request because he knows that the leadership he enjoys in Lagos is as a result of the workings of the political structure in the grassroots. That is the difference between Tinubu and Saraki. Saraki lost the grassroot but Tinubu empowers his grassroot political structure.

And you now think #Otoge can work in Lagos or Kano will teach Lagos a lesson. Until opposition gets to work hard for four years to put political structure and ideology on ground that is far better and rewarding than what APC has put on ground, they cannot win Lagos. It is not lack of progress in Lagos or political stupidity on the part of Lagosians but the laziness on the part of opposition. You cannot take Lagos by propaganda from the comfort of your home but by real mobilization and engagement at the grassroots beyond election period.

My honest advice to Lagos PDP is that they should immediately employ a political strategist, that will provide an engagement and ideological roadmap for them to implement in the next 4 years if they are serious!

Simple as that!

Tinubu has something which most people dont understand that is why he will always excel

1. He is a grassroot man. He might be rich but he never forgets his poor people like Vulcanisers, market women, conductors etc. who are always loyal to him.
WHen tinubu was governor we used to hear of how he goes to Island to his root to hang out with boys even smoke weed with them. But other politicians will get to power and only stick to VGC and Ikoyi
Elections are not won by elites in VGC rather by artisans in Iyana-Ipaja

Fashola spent 8yrs as governor, Ambode spent 4, How many times did they go to all these lowly people. At a time Fashola was tagged governor of Lagos Island since they dont feel his effect in low places. That is why none of them can win their ward if Tinubu goes against them.

Tinubu always reminds his followers never to forget the grassroot because they will determine your fate. All those who forgot the grassroot always suffer

OkoroPeugeot:
No, I'm with the truth

Guy you Sabi as the matter dey go, see how envy, hatred and obsession with Tinubu had made nonsense, of Igbo people in Lagos.
In my hood the Igbos were hiding in their rooms yesterday, if na before, dem go dey polling booths dey insult Yoruba voters.
Power pass power my brother, they knew that the eru iku " angels of death " are quietly lurking in the corners.
Let them go to their states to vote, a ki Iba ni tan ka fani ni itan ya.
We are not even related so whats their obsession with our leader.

desiredhome:
Then move on

deomelo:
If you say it's raining outside, they will shout Tinubu, say the sky is blue, they will shout Tinubu, Tinubu is the beginning and end of their existence and the reason why their towns and villages are backward and unproductive, he's even the reason why they must leave their villages and head to Lagos for survival.

I don't even get the fascination with the man, he's not a public official and he left public office decades ago.

Funny enough, you can not deny him anything or stop him from doing anything because he's a private citizen, he's not running for office so you can not stop him or do anything to him.

O to ge stopped Saraki in Kwara because Saraki is a public official running for another term in office so you can deny him that opportunity be not voting for him, but Tinubu is not running for anything so you can not stop him and you can not ban him from politics, from political association and supporting political candidates because according to the Nigerian constitution, he's free to associate with any political party, groups and associations.

Instead of facing and campaigning against Sanwo Olu, they wasted their time and energy on Tinubu who is not running for anything.


And to make matters worse, they injected tribalism with ibo votes which Yoruba APC and PDP united together joined forces to reject overwhenmingly

For God sake leave Tinubu along he remain the Asiwaju of Yoruba land, as we have only one Are Onokakanfo in Yoruba land.Who God bless no man contest. SE & SS should stop the insult on Yorubas.
