Its not to promise.....its to do it.

He said he will pay more than 30k, let's wait and see. Hope you will also come out to say something when he does or doesn't.

But we are waiting to see the payment of more than 30k minimum wage by Sanwo.

Amuocha:
Great from the man with experience

Will Lagos sign 30k for its civil servants? Will Sanwo inherit an empty treasury from Ambode?

wallex1983:
Dapo!

Make a move. Visit Ibikunle Amosun.

You will soon need him, believe me.

The so called educated people in Lagos have remained under the thumb of a single man while the so-called "illiterates" of Kano have taken their destiny into their own hands

By Ernest Nwokolo, Abeokuta by Ernest Nwokolo, Abeokuta March 6, 2019 in Election 2019

Former House of Representatives member and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State on Wednesday formally announced his defection from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress(APC).

Amusan, who represented Abeokuta North, Obafemi Owode and Odeda Federal Constituency for eight years on the platform of PDP, said he is leaving former party for the ruling APC with over 50,000 thousand supporters he has been nurturing in the last 19 years.

The property magnate, who was also the senatorial candidate of PDP in the last National Assembly election for Ogun Central, told reporters during a press briefing in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital that his defection would further boost the chances of Prince Dapo Abiodun succeeding Governor Ibikunle Amosun.

Amusan said he knows the capacity of Abiodun as a successful entrepreneur and business man, saying he is the type of man the Gateway state required now to run the affairs of the state, urging his supporters and Ogun people to cast their ballot for the APC governorship hopeful.

He also called on the electorate to support the candidacy of Abiodun and desist from the habit of making unnecessary demand from those who signify interest to serve, saying such attitude would scare away people with genuine desire to serve.

Everything being equal, Prince Dapo Abiodun, successful businessman and proprietor of Heyden Oil and Gas among other lucrative ventures, has every reason to start warming up to occupy the Ogun State Government House from May 29th. The governorship election is slated for Saturday, March 9thand one of the power blocs in the state, the Kesington Adebutu’s supporters, have reportedly thrown its weight behind Abiodun. Like the Adebutus, Abiodun hails from Iperu Remo in Ogun State. Abiodun’s journey thus far has been strewn with thorns and thistles.

A very good friend and financier of the incumbent, Governor Ibikunle Amosun, Prince Abiodun was shocked to the marrows when the governor told him in no uncertain terms that he would not support his governorship ambition. Amosun would shock the people of Ogun State and indeed, discerning Nigerians, when news emerged in October 2018 that he had unilaterally drawn up a list of candidates for the party and subsequently announced Adekunle Akinlade, a member of the House of Representatives, as his anointed for the governorship ticket. If Abiodun was aghast, he didn’t show it.

The Iperu-born prince went about his ambition without fuss. Angry members of the APC in Ogun could read between the lines – Amosun simply wanted a lackey that he could easily manipulate from his obscenely-appointed country home in Ibara GRA, Abeokuta.

And Akinlade ticks all the boxes. A happy-go-lucky 48-year-old dandy who is more dilettante than diligent, Akinlade is married to a former beauty queen, Chinenye Ochuba.

When the governorship primary held on Wednesday, October 3rd, Amosun’s candidate was roundly beaten by Prince Abiodun who polled 102, 305 votes. Akinlade came a distant third with 23, 443 votes. Predictably, Amosun went ballistic, stumping and swearing, spitting into the air and receiving it with measured cadence.

Alongside other disgruntled governors, he scurried to Abuja where he met with the President but nothing came of it. Amosun tried every trick in the book to impose his candidate but the party stood its ground, insisting that Abiodun is its substantive candidate.

With nowhere to go, Akinlade, alongside other loyalists of the beleaguered governor, defected to the All People’s Movement, APM, ostensibly on Amosun’s orders, stating overtly and covertly that it is either Akinlade or nobody for the governorship seat.

He went ahead to publicly declare that he would work for the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari but not for Abiodun.

To actualise his objective, Governor Amosun reportedly held a meeting with Ladi Adebutu, the factional governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in Ogun State, whose candidature was nullified in favour of Senator Buruji Kashamu.

Amosun reportedly bargained with Adebutu to work for Akinlade in return for heavy patronage if the APM won. But here is the good news, all Adebutu’s men have all joined Abiodun.
