The same way adedibu installed Ladoja but he renegade and Akala took over but was chased out by Ajumobi n Makinde is the governor of Oyo.

The same scenario is playing out in Ekiti n Ogun state but can you say the same about Abia where failure keep installing failure that led to the complete deterioration of Abia state.

What about Ebonyi from lunatic to nitwit n now fool who doesn't want the press to expose his criminal act is presently governing the state.

The ills of godfather politics cannot be overemphasised, it has become a cancerous growth in the politics of Nigeria. The masses of most parts of Nigeria has been relegated to mere spectators in the politics of who to select to best represent them in positions of authority.

Some parts of the country has stood up and are almost free of the evils of godfather politics to the extent that it's at its barest. Let's see a lot of these examples

Oshiomole was able to install Obaseki, and came back and flushed him when he wanted, the whole people of Edo were bystanders to the whole drama.

Tinubu installed fashola, installed Ambode, installed Sanwo olu, and if he wakes up tomorrow and wants him impeached next week, Obasa will be governor by this time next week.

In contrast,

Jim Nwobodo installed Chimaroke, Chimaroke retired him from politics
Chimaroke installed Sullivan chime, Chime turned round and kicked him out of the PDP,
Sullivan installed Gburugburu, Gburugburu didn't want any meddlement so blocked Sullivan who ran into APC and political obscurity.

You are right n this is why I argued that Abia
Ebonyi Enugu Delta are not enlightened society.

What you wrote is largely correct, but the godfatherism is aggravated because of illiteracy. That's my own point, do you think an enlightened society can sit idly while what happens in Nigeria happens?

There is nobody that can become a godfather in Igbo states. The states are too literate and rich to the extent that people will laugh at him. In Oyo, it's only because adedibu passed away that you can say this. If adedibu who was a strong man is still there, they will be deciding the governorship and all other elections in his sitting room. It's very easy for another adedibu to rise to become a godfather.

Insults will not help you in this argument, godfather politics thrives in the west, and now in Edo state.

There are no godfathers in Abia Ebonyi and enugu or delta. Only 1 godfather controls the whole of southwest.

This thread has done it's work. Time to close it down
