I know what agboola will likely fly pdp flag alongside jegede that is why I suggested aketi running with oke or if oke runs on another platform,aketi picks from the central to counter pdp...

Am not sure the mode of primaries is indirect and even if it is,Abraham or boroffice Will likely contest thereby reducing aketi chances.it will be down to who controls delegates from the central.

Now if he picks the APC ticket,he doesn't need to be friends with abtlraham and co.he won the north massively in 2016 without their support and will still do so as an incumbent...

The south and central having more voters will not mean much.the north will still give bloc votes to aketi as they did in 2016,they have to complete their tenure.the only place that pdp will get massive votes in ondo central is akure north and south.ifedore and idanre don't give bloc votes,anyone can win it.with mimiko under zlp,he won't do much in ondo east and west.in the end,aketi will end up winning one or two lgas in the central.if he is wise,he will pick a running mate from akure to reduce pdp winning margin.

No matter which party oke contests under,he will still win the south like in 2012 and 2016 this time narrowly and aketi will get the needed 25%.if pdp are wise,they will pick someone from the north specifically akoko to counter aketi since pdp will still win the central no matter what but I know they won't.therefore,they north will be totally free for aketi while south and central is turned to a battleground...

Aketi got block vote from north in 2016 because Abraham and co figured they could win the seat in court.

I'm certain that isn't going to happen this time

Dansuqi:
Ondo is a difficult place electorally.sorry,I want to get something straight.as of 2016,majority of the lawmakers were pdp.in 2019,how many seats did APC win in the state assembly,how many did aa and pdp win? Did aketi sponsor AA contestants while agboola sponsored those of APC?

Let's just agree that Ondo stare is a difficult place to predict politically. Of course, the nature of the fight doesn't help.

Dansuqi:
How did he end up with such a strong deputy? If I am aketi,I will convince olusola oke to deputize for me while I handover to him in 4 years time.this is d best play

Aketi's governorship win was never because he was a strong candidate. I blame four things:

1 The Buhari effect
2 People were tired of PDP and didn't want Mimiko to impose any candidate on us
3 His deputy was a very strong politician
4 All his potential opponents agreed to join hands with him thinking they'll run the government together.

In fact, Aketi is a stronger politician now after his four years than before. Despite this, he's not
even in Ondo State's top ten. How do you expect him to now impeach his deputy?

fergie001:
This is daggers from all sides......na waoh/

From his elections till now....many inside the APC don't like him.
E rape their wives ni?

From the moment he defeated Abraham...wahala!

He wasn't a graceful winner. immediately he won, he turned on all those who supported his campaign because they didn't support him before the primaries.

That's the root of his problem. He wasn't graceful in victory.
He also wrecked Ondo State's primary, secondary, and tertiary education. He talks anyhow, doesn't listen to advice. He acts like a dictator.
Cancelled a lot of mimiko's policies. His crimes are many and the problem is that everyone in Ondo State is aware of them.

The guy actually has a good media team. I can salute him for that. It's why a lot of those not from the state think he's doing well.

Here at Ore the guy gave a whole street one Congo of rice and one bottle of oil for the whole three months lockdown. But if you listen to his media team, you'll think he gave every single person one bag of rice.

That guy is honestly a disaster. Ondo State people no dey talk sha. when election come, the guy go know

Honestly Aketi Na fuckup.

Ondo State isn't even the kind of state that has greedy politicians. Most politicians in the state merely want development for their people. The sheer fact that Aketi is still fucking that up is just crazy.

I categorically state that since Agagu and Mimiko's first tenure, Ondo State has been blessed with horrible governors.

catherine1998:
Mumu, focus on the Man dont insult our beautiful state(Ebonyi) it is totally his idea not ours, and plz we are not middle-belt

You're in the country's middlebelt even if they label you southeast.

almost all your politicians are making stupid statements like this fool and you say something isn't wrong.

I'll ask again, are they drinking a different type of water in Kogi, Benue, and Ebonyi?

Ademoore07:
Because, he is a nepotistic leader. In addition, he doesn't care about workers welfare. Some 3 months salaries owed by last administration is still hanging. Lastly, only retirees from his town had been paid their gratuity. Those from other local govt areas are still crying till date.

You get sense.
That's the problem everyone and APC have with Aketi.
He practices nepotism like a religion.

Indeed, Buhari is still learning work where Aketi is already a director.

Them swear for middlebelt?
First Kogi and now Ebonyi

Na so dem dey mumu for that area?

Modified: sorry I forgot the oga at the top... Benue

alaska0123:
You’re ignorant, Eyitayo jegede of 2016 is not the same as now, he doesn’t have a sitting governor backing like mimiko again, he doesn’t have the money and political will/machinery. Take time to read more about Hon. Agboola Ajayi you will know you’re clueless about ondo politics

So you believe Jegede won't get Ondo central votes right?
I'm not disputing that Agbo is more popular than Jegede in Ondo South. what I'm saying is that things stand, Jegede has weight in central, Agbo, Oke and Kekemeke in South, and Aketi, Borofice, and Abraham share North.

Sorry about that, I thought you quoted me.

From what I see, whoever makes the best alliance will win it. Not involving party politics sha

Sammy07:
Yeah, everything seem balanced, The difference between the winner and the runner up won't be up-to 100k.

I don't know the offense of his son, but that of his wife, he's somehow letting his wife control him or let's say having his wife to have huge influence In government.

The other day his wife insulted the whole AAUA faculty and students. The guy just dey somehow.
I'm somewhat close to Ondo south politicians, so I know some of what goes on in alagbaka.

the deal is that when his political allies adviced him to pick option A, he goes to the bedroom to his wife who says B, and the guy picks B. Las Las B is a terrible option and the current trouble he's having is because he's been picking B all this while.

Sammy07:
The guy below your comment has given you a detailed reply.

However, I don't think Akeredolu beats Jegede because of southern votes or so.

I felt it's because People were tired of Mimiko & PDP.
He made some silly mistakes.

yeah, people were also tired of PDP. Not to mention Jegede also had to deal with that litigation from the PDP primaries.

All of them seem evenly balanced in the coming election. So, it's the strongest midnight alliances that will win. Just note sha that Aketi's wife and son have made him a lot of enemies.

LexngtonSteele:
Seems you are a good political analyst. What do you think about Akeredolu's chances ?

Oke has heavy support from the federal level, but he isn't actually popular in the south. I'm from the south, so I know.

Right now, the most popular candidates in Ondo south are Jegede, Abraham, and Agboola.

However, Agboola has the most political relevance with strong grassroot support.

in fact, Aketi only beat Jegede in the last election because of Agboola's southern votes. if he loses those votes, he's a goner.

From what I can see, the election will be a free for all.

Aketi is moderately strong in the north, but Agbo has almost all the Ondo south leaders in his pocket. meanwhile eyitayo is a beast in the central district and Abraham weilds as much influence as aketi in the north.

I feel that whoever makes the best alliance will win the election.

JKisOK:
For starters, Mrs. Kofoworola Akerele-Bucknor NEVER contested the Lagos AD governorship primaries. The 1999 contest was a straight fight between Bola Tinubu and Funso Williams. And up till now, there remains the heated contention about which of them ACTUALLY won. One faction under Ganiyu Dawodu (then Lagos AD Chairman) gave victory to Funso, while the National Executive Council through the National Vice Chairman, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, forwarded the name of Tinubu to INEC as the candidate. Statutorily, INEC deals with the National Executive of parties not state chapters. So Bola Tinubu sailed through as against Funso that the State Chairman had declared the winner of the Lagos AD primaries.

Tinubu adopted Bucknor as Deputy Governorship Candidate and Running Mate in deference to and compensation for the support of the AD Babas, including Abraham Adesanya, Adebanjo, etc. But the cordial relationship between Tinubu and the Babas did not survive for long and culminated in the ouster of Bucknor who complained of being kept in the cold by Tinubu although she was supposedly his Deputy.

Interestingly, in Edo APC primaries, that may be the banker Oshiomhole is hoping to deploy against Governor Obaseki i.e. that it is the result and candidate presented by the party's National Executive that INEC would accept. Let us wait and see.

I also love your comment. this is what nairaland should be about, not rubbish osu afonja wars.

ehissi:
This is a beautiful piece, if not that it is laden with a lot of half-truths - I think calling them lies will only bruise the ego of the author - that attempts to glorify some political actors using borrowed robes.


Chief of which is the fact that Tinubu did not win the AD gubernatorial primaries.

It was Dr. Mrs Kofoworola Bucknor-Akerele that won the fated gubernatorial primaries. It was simply handed down to Tinubu - by intervention and intense lobbying of his adopted mother and the Mandate group - because the Oba of Lagos insisted that a woman cannot be governor in lagos.

Why? The staff of office of a Traditional Ruler flows from the governor's office. A female governor makes a woman seemingly a superior over the Oba, which is not acceptable in yoruba land.

And as such she was asked to take the lesser role of deputy governor...........................a role she resigned from in protest, because she alleged that Tinubu was using lagos state money to build political alliance aimed at seizing the presidency, despite all the wonderful and lofty plans they had for lagos state; plans that were eventually implemented by the Fashola administration..........

An allegation that rang true when, Tinubu and some of his henchmen broke out of AD to form the ACN - which initially drew the ire and scorn of Afenifere - which morphed into the hydra-headed monster called APC of today................

I like your analysis

impeaching agboola ajayi will be difficult for akeredolu.

If he isn't careful, the governor may get impeached himself because the deputy has more grassroot support than him.

Nobody likes akeredolu specifically because he doesn't listen to advise and doesn't know that politics is more than just having power.

I'm interested in political activism not revolution.
My advice to you is to remove that last part of the topic. it will implicate you in a court of law.
If you're really interested in changing Nigeria peacefully, then I'm interested.

While revolution may work, it's a road too far for us at this stage. Let's try teaching Nigerians why the current structure is bad for them.
I'll DM you now.

In an interview electronically-conducted, LANRE ADEWOLE engaged leading lawyer and senior advocate of Nigeria, Mr. Femi Falana, on the state of the nation, coronavirus epidemic controversies and the quality of leadership; handling the attendant socio-economic crises.


Sir, what do you make of this administration’s established propensity to always put the cart before the horse, in making major polices that should be backed by law. What is becoming the norm at the federal and state level is, pronounce the policy first, then scramble around for the enabling law?


The nation was under all manners of military dictators for close to three decades. Even though civil rule was restored 21 years ago, the leading characters in the democratic structures are either former military rulers or those who had served under them. In fact, there was a time the President, the mnister of defence, minister of police affairs, national security adviser, chief of staff and chairman of the ruling political party were all retired generals. So, the civilian government was a quasi military regime. Even though the number of former military rulers has been reduced the mindset of the political and security chiefs has not changed. Public officers are still sacked with immediate effect while people are detained for months or years without trial. The Buhari administration has never hidden its disdain for the rule of law. In some interviews President Buhari has expressed frustration with the slow speed or the accountability prerequisite of a democratic dispensation. The regime has openly justified disobedience of court orders under the pretext of defending national security. It does not seem to appreciate that the security of the State is maintained under the rule of law. Even when the regime was compelled to release Omoyele Sowore and retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki from illegal custody last December based on court orders. it came out to say that it was an act of compassion or generosity. With such praetorian mindset the regime does not consider the legal implications of its actions and policies. Since the dramatis personae in power believe in the rule of might, the government is bound to take decisions without the backing of the law. We are ruled by individuals who believe in the rule of rulers and not in the rule of law.


You no longer sue government for illegality and unconstitutionality of actions, with the same frequency of the past, unlike your mentor, late Gani Fawehinmi, who didn’t stop taking government to court until his death. You appear to have mellowed into advocacy and jurisprudential guidance. Why?


I am afraid your information is not correct. Recently, a bunch of paid lumpen elements staged a protest against me in Abuja for purportedly using the courts to blackmail the federal government. Can you believe that? The fact is that due to increasing wave of official impunity of the government, I have filed more cases in court than ever before. Unlike in those days when all our public interest litigation cases were dismissed for want of locus standi the situation has changed due to our persistence and doggedness. We have recorded some huge success in using the instrumentality of the law to challenge official impunity in the country. For instance, our law firm won the case over the right of every child to free and compulsory basic education at the expense of the State. We have won the case to have the People’s Bank restored. We have won the case that stopped a contractor from collecting cerpac fees from all expatriates in Nigeria. We have won the case against the regulation banning police women from marrying suitors of their choice without written permission of a commissioner of police. We won the case against obtaining police permit for rallies and demonstrations by aggrieved citizens and groups. At the same time we have lost many cases while others are pending in courts. One of the cases which we lost at the federal high court has to do with the right of Nigerians to basic health. The case was struck out due to lack of locus standi. We are pursuing the appeal in view of the threat posed to the health of all citizens by the coronavirus pandemic. In many instances, our public comments and those of others have forced governments to reverse certain illegal policies and unpopular programmes. In such circumstances, we have refrained from going to court. I am sure that is what you mean by saying that I have resorted to advocacy and jurisprudential guidance.


The presidency of Major General Muhammadu Buhari rarely yields to advocacy and plea, which possibly explains the refusal to withdraw soldiers from COVID-19 regulations enforcement duties despite the killing of innocent Nigerians wit

mortality rate is 1-2%...your lassa fever mortality rate is more than 10%...try and put that into context. This Virus is not as potent as lassa or Ebola. What makes it bad is because it spreads faster than all these diseases I called but lassa and Ebola kills faster. Ebola had a mortality rate of more than 60%, thats like certain death...Infact about 98% of Coronavirus sufferers recover

You are right and you are wrong. in a population of 5 billion, with the rate at which the virus spreads, 2% is horrific.

the problem is not in fact it's virility but the ease of infection and the fact that no one has a cure yet.

If you could have contained even influenza before it became worldwide, you would have tried.

It's a shame to see the way Nairalanders let sentiments rule their brain.

Oshiomole was on point in all his accounts.

1: if indeed there was discrepancies in the results, why did they not present it in court?

2: Do you believe that the winner of a government by the people, of the people, and for the people should be decided by the courts?

3: Do you believe that a man who won 3 local governments should be Governor of a state with tens of such LGAs?

4: Do you believe that idehioda**? should become governor on a total vote less than 30% of the possible votes of the state? where in the world is a 30% election valid?

Whether you like him or not, oshiomole was right, and the supreme court had really rubbished itself with that Bayelsa judgement.

Isenah:
What area are you going to in Bayelsa, and what’s your budget?

I'm postponing it for now because of possible violence in bayelsa tomorrow.

Please fellow nairalanders, I need to be in bayelsa tomorrow and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a cheap hotel for me to stay the night.

Are u serious Bola ?, So even if I sleep off , leaving my smart phone charging , when it is full , even if unplugged , it has no negative effect on the battery ?

Yes.
Only the last point of the Op is on point.
What spoils your battery best is when you charge it repeatedly. it's better to leave the phone plugged in as you use it because your phone can only be charged a specific number of times before the battery is gone.

My guy, I'm not married so I can't tell you what to do, but I can tell you something.

All these people telling you mutation and death know nothing about why incest is actually bad.

You can marry her and nothing will happen. In fact, since it's against your tradition. that makes it even safer since new blood has been coming in for generations...

There is no royal family left in Europe that isn't related to the UK queen in one way or another, and they are still bleeping each other.

don't worry about any of those kind of consequence. It only happens when incest is consistent over generations
