@Barcanista Your middle name should indeed be ICHABOD owing to the fact that due to hate and political miscalculation,you have jettisoned all what you stood for and are now seen in the company of charlatans and political raggamuffins like Truckpusher who is advocating destruction as a political solution in order to browbeat people into voting for WikeD

How Ministers, Governors Sabotaged Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan etched his name in gold in history books when he called president-elect, Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd) on March 31, to congratulate him even before the result of the presidential election had been completely collated and the winner declared by the Independent National Electoral commission (INEC).

But while it would appear to all that President Jonathan has already moved on after conceding defeat, LEADERSHIP Sunday can authoritatively report that he is nursing the sting of betrayal by his close allies, which led to his loss at the polls.

According to reliable presidency sources, beyond the pain of losing out, he is disappointed that despite assurances from his cabinet members and other trusted political appointees as well as high ranking officials of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that they had vigorously campaigned and sold his achievements to the people and were sure from feelers they were receiving that he would be re-elected, it turned out that they had in fact, not campaigned for him as they made it seem.

The president, it was gathered is particularly peeved by the action of some governors of Northern and North-Central states where he suffered the worst defeat.

Of the 19 states in the north, the PDP, the president’s party only won the presidential election in Plateau, Nasarawa and Taraba.

LEADERSHIP Sunday gathered that the sum of N500million was given as campaign fund to each state but those who the funds were entrusted to, rather than use the money for the purpose it was meant, held on to it. The money was disbursed through PDP-led state governors and cabinet ministers or political appointees in opposition-led states.

[b]In Ondo State for instance, LEADERSHIP gathered that the money was disbursed through one of the principal presidency officials from the state but as at night fall on the election eve, the official was yet to deliver the money to the state governor for the campaigns. The leadership of the PDP in the state, it was learnt, resorted to calling managers of banks in the state late in the night on the eve of the presidential election to ask for funds but could only get very little, by which time there wasn’t enough time to reach out to a large number of electorate in the state.

A similar scenario reportedly played out in Oyo State where a minister from the state who was entrusted with the campaign funds allegedly held onto the money. In Kogi State where the PDP also lost out in the presidential election, LEADERSHIP sources said money for the election was also diverted to other uses such as payment of debts, hence the abysmal result the party got in the state.

The abysmal performance of the party in Benue, Bauchi and Kano states, where the PDP has two governors, a Senate president, national chairman of the party and three cabinet ministers, Gabriel Suswam, Isa Yuguda, David Mark, Adamu Muazu, Bala Mohammed, Ibrahim Shekarau and Aminu Wali, respectively, but could not garner votes for the president, was also said to have drawn his ire.

Our source said the president despite having received security reports that a high ranking official of the party was allegedly covertly working for the opposition was particularly annoyed that he had trusted the said official and waved the reports.

Sources in Kaduna State where the vice president, Namadi Sambo hails from and where there is a PDP government in charge, also informed LEADERSHIP Sunday that in one of the local governments in Southern Kaduna, only N100,000 was allotted to two polling units in one of the wards with a voting population of over 1,000 people in sharp contrast with the situation in some local governments in Edo State, where eligible voters with Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) were given N2000 each to vote for the party, hence the success recorded.

Recall that few days before the election, LEADERSHIP Sunday’s sister publication, LEADERSHIP, had exclusively reported that allegations of embezzlement and diversion of campaign funds were rife in the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation (PDPPCO).

According to the report, coordinators of some of President Jonathan’s campaign groups as well as state and zonal coordinators were taking steps to ensure that they did not lose out completely, in the event that he does not win. LEADERSHIP’s investigations in Abuja revealed that the coordinators, rather than use the money for campaigns, had been scouting the Abuja property market with dollars, acquiring choice property. The campaigners, it was gathered, rather than use the money for the purpose it is meant, have resorted to investing the money in property, so that in the event that their candidate does not emerge, they would have something to fall back on.

Real estate agents privy to the development told LEADERSHIP Sunday that since the campaigns began and particularly after the postponement of the elections, there had been an upswing in the number of persons looking to buy property and most of them who usually pay in dollars had been linked to the campaign.

Recall also that about two weeks before the presidential and National Assembly election, there was a free-for-all among some PDP officials in Ogun State, following the failure of those entrusted with the money to release same to campaign coordinators across the state. It was gathered that the campaign coordinators suspected foul play when the money which was to be shared among 708 of them was not, over claims that it was yet to be paid into a certain designated bank account.

Similarly, another report had it that a former governor deeply involved in President Jonathan’s re-election campaign had rather than use money given to him for campaign, deposited it in a bank for it to yield interest and possibly remain there till after the election, after which it will be forgotten and he would convert it to personal use.

Sources within the president’s campaign organisation, said such funds were being used by those they were entrusted with as they pleased and that the situation had compelled the president to personally take charge of his campaign especially in the Northern and South-Western parts of the country.

At the time of the report, a high ranking member of the campaign organisation had confirmed to LEADERSHIP that the headquarters of the campaign organisation was in the know of the development.

“State coordinators are responsible for mobilising and organising campaign rallies in their respective states while zonal coordinators do same for zonal campaigns and when people from the headquarters attend such rallies, they take note of the lapses in planning for further action. The money for such organisation and mobilisation is disbursed by the PDPPCO.[/b]

“It has come to the knowledge of the campaign organisation that some coordinators have been telling party members that the money given to them is not sufficient to do what they expect of them but this is not true. They have been given adequate funds. However, the matter cannot be handled now till after the election when the coordinators would be required to retire their spending. The focus right now is on the election,” he said.

It was further gathered that while collation of results was on-going on March 31, after the result of Delta State was presented and it became imminent that Jonathan had lost out, as results from Sokoto, Borno and Yobe were still being expected, some allies of Jonathan met him at the Presidential Villa, where they reportedly prevailed on him to stop further collation and announcement of the results.

While the desperadoes were trying frantically to make Jonathan see reason why he should not accept the outcome of the poll, people on the other divide, led by former head of state, Gen Abdulsalam Abubakar, who were for peace urged Jonathan not to allow the moment of making history slip by.

The president eventually, the source said, rebuffed them saying after failing to convince people to vote for him, they were now suggesting ideas that would set the country on fire.

Following the president’s refusal to play ball, his allies who by now had realised that they would also lose out if he is not re-elected, immediately reached out to the party’s representatives at the collation centre, Dr. Bello Fadile, who is also a director in the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) and former minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Godsday Orubebe, following which Orubebe disrupted collation of results for several minutes, citing INEC’s refusal to attend to a protest by the PDP over results from some Northern states whereas the commission had set up a committee to investigate allegations against the party in Rivers State.

Jonathan, our sources said, called and ordered Orubebe to desist from further disrupting the collation process, failing which he would be whisked out by security operatives, which explains why Orubebe who had earlier rebuffed all entreaties to retreat from the podium, suddenly went back to his seat and remained calm for the rest of the exercise.

The source said that following the development, the president had directed that certain members of the party including governors of some Northern states should not be allowed access to him for now, “and that is why it was only governors of South-East and South-West states that paid him a visit on Monday. The only Northern Governor on the entourage was the Plateau governor. The party won in his state.”

Meanwhile, governors, states chairmen and governorship candidates of the party have been strategising on how to win the governorship and state assembly elections this Saturday. They met at the national headquarters of the party in Abuja, on Friday.

Guys, put your argument to rest. The ministry of petroleum will function directly under the president, while power will be directly under the Vice president.
We are no longer just concerned about qualification or experience. If your character is questionable and LOYALTY, you have no place under place in this government.

Word!

For every Technocrat with an Outstanding qualification and experience,there are more than enough persons with the same pedigree

It is your input during the sowing period via alignment whether directly or via proxy that will determine what you will get during harvest

engrsyer:
In case you don't know, Ajumogobia was a class mate to US President Barack Obama in Harvard University as both member of the body of Bar in America and SAN-NBA.

If Minister of Petroleum may not get to him then Athorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice should get to that noble man.

Make una dey deceive yourselves there

Did Jonathan not know he was Obama Best man when he married Michelle Obama before droppinh him from the cabinet then

If Ajumogobia didnt contribute anything whether overtly or covertly to APC in rivers or to Buhari.......he will never be appointed. It is as simple as that

The party leaders from all the regions know people who assisted them even if they did it under the radar because of fear of PDP,it is those persons that can be considered but to think that some one will just walk into Government on the strenght of just his pedigree is a joke of the highest order

People like Pat Utomi who drafted APC's manifestoes amongst other people stand to gain than an ajumogobia who didnt stand up to be counted

Also dont be surprised if you hear that Festus Odimegwu who spoke vehemently against Jonathan 3eeks to the election contributed heavily to Buhari or APC campaign......it is people like him that will get considered

Festus Keyamo also stood up to be counted when it mattered most by going against the tide and supporting someone other than a fellow NDeltan will sure get a slot in this Government


So all the cowards who didnt lend any resource either material or immaterial to APc's victory will act as spectators and the heaven will not fall

baby124:
We need objective people. We don't need people with allegiance to companies like Oando and the like. Sorry to say.

Some of you comment out of unbridled sentiments or outright prejudice

Let me tell you for free..........

In democracies all over the world even here in US

You can never become anything unless you have a fixer or power broker behind your candidature.....it is as simple as that

The fact that a man is brilliant,sound and capable is not enough reason to give him any post......your loyalty to the cause must be well ascertained

All the technocrats that have ever been anything in Nigeria were thrust forward by a Power-that

Buhari will still run every name by some of his party leaders from each zone and if they are against that person,trust me.....the person will be dropped. There are more than enough technocrats to man all the available posts in Nigeria

Jimi Agbaje is going no where!

Lagos will never be turned into a Redemption Ground for failed and discredited politicians like Bode George/Koro/Ogunlewe and charlatans from the SW like FFK/Okupe/Gbenga Daniels/Mimiko/Buruji/Fayose would never be allowed to use Lagos as a rally state for their despicable acts

This is the best Legacy of PDP Government

Impunity of the highest order and a destructive clampdown on the Judiciary and the Rule of Law

Even a charlatan like Jimi Agbaje under the cover of PDP led FG has started giving Lagosians a taste of what his reign of impunity might be( God Forbid) with the way thugs,miscreants and OPC have been unleashing untold violence on hapless citizens all in a bid to cow and instill massive fear in the minds of the people

Fayose has been doing same in Ekiti,Buruji Kashamu is also towing the same path in Ogun....same with Mimiko in Ondo

chat2deen:
Some of the winners can port to APC, after dey get d senate president or speaker den decamp back to PDP, simple.

You think it is that simplistic to decamp to APC,get the Senate Presidency and decamp back to PDP........i laugh at your juvenile reasoning

So you feel someone who gets a very high position of a Senate President with all the perks of office and high contacts that goes with it will suddenly want to run back to PDP. Yet you fail to remember that APC maintains a distinct majority in the chamber which they can always deploy to impeach whoever tries that foolishness

Infact i am very sure David Mark would have started considering how to maintain his Senate Presidency in view of APC's ascension to the FG.....and before you think it is impossible for him to go and dobale for Buhari....Recall that it was Buhari who appointed him as a Military Governor to Niger State in 1984

[s]You have a problem my friend a serious one, do you know what it takes to sustain a business in our harsh environment? Starting a business here is not the problem but sustaining it and watch it grow after years.


To contest an election in Nigeria is very expensive and JK have financed his previous election from the proceed of this his so called chemist business and yet it never caused him business setback.


egift I have opened a business in this country and I can tell you how difficult and expensive it is to wade off competition from major players in that sector and high overhead cost and survive.


You don't have point on this against JK because Richard Branson with all his success in Europe,asia and American markets he could not survive in Nigeria.


And you cannot compare Bode George with Tinubu in any area on who is the master as per corruption.


Let's give JIMI a chance[/s].

Give Jimi a chance to do what?

It seems you just comment out of sentiments

I laugh at that part where you said Jimi financed his campaign out of his pocket..........please always stick with what you know

From time immemorial PDP had always financed most of these mushroom party including the DPA under which Jimi contested then

You can only deceive your likes with this carefully crafted lies

The Gubernatorial election will seal the feat of haters like you

deletrue:
[s]Very powerful thread. If you are pdp friends, you are pdp full time member, this is the time to stand firmly. In NL alone, many people are no more on the forum. Why? This is the time to frustrate Buhari. Do not allow the highly rigged election to pull you down. We have all what it takes and necessary to pull down Buhari. Have you people forgotten what they did to GEJ? Come on, stand up now, organise your selves, open the social medias, like the NL and others. Say something, keep attacking apc and Buhari. Do not give them space. Let us make an impact on his first hundred days in office. Follow Bode behind or form another line and rise up. Apc must receive what they have giving to pdp. Thanks all.[/s]

Jonathan's failure and cluelessness made him lose election and not attack from anyone

giantstrides:
Tinubu doesn't care about small fries like you, even when PDP was at the centre, Tinubu was a colossus who towered above you all, now that APC controls the centre, you expect him to bother with your likes . Tinubu is planning how to make APC's first term a resounding success because he wants to etch his name in the sands of time, so let's dispense with the monkey buisness Bode George, if indeed you are clean like you claimed when you got out of jail, you will have nothing to fear.

Word

Tinubu does not have time to waste with a nonentity like Bode George

Even when he had the mighty force of the Obasanjo led FG arrayed against him......He remained the LAST MAN STANDING!

It is small fries like Bode George,Koro,Buruji,Fayose that are trying to use Tinubu's name to shine by always calling him out....hardly would you see Tinubu speak about them unless in response to their folly

ilugunboy:
These guys have tasted some of the most exquisite hotel rooms in Abuja and elsewhere in the world......I don't think they are prepared to spend long sleepless night in the jungle creeks with swarming mosquitoes again in their lives....

Global West is too important to him to let go and return to the jungle....

You got it right

They know who they are dealing with nah

Buhari no be sissy like Jonathan who anybody can threaten to cut a deal from

Arsenella007:
It's a pity if this is how majority think cos I can see this expressed by the likes you got.. I really thought the change government will do things differently. So by your view it will be a government of relatiation. The states that voted for Buhari gets to be treated better than the states that didn't. So where is the change? You type are those that continues fanning the ambers of hate and division in this country and we don't need such now. We no longer want things to be done the same old way.

You can afford to be sentimental as much as possible but what most of you dont know is that in politics just like so many other sphere of human endeavour

Loyalty and close affinity to the centre of gravity do confer added advantage on people

That thing that makes Hausa solidarise with other Hausas and Igbos with other igbos,is the same thing that will make an APC President solidarise with a fellow APC Governor with a view to using the success of his Governors as a bragging right against the opposition in order for them to keep holding on to the state when next an election comes up

I believe you were in Nigeria when PDP was telling all of us that it is only PDP states that have Airport bulit,even if such was built by the state government, the FG always defray or refund the cost faster and quickly

i believe you were also in nigeria when Tinubu was punished by OBJ for creating 37 LCDA and LG allocations were seized for good 4years......it was Yar'adua who though of PDP was very close to Tinubu whose Mother Abibat Mogaji used to sell food in the 70s where the Yar'aduas used to eat way back that returned the money

I hope you know how extremely difficult it is for states that are not aligned with the FG to get refund of any money they expend on fixing any FG project in their states........The FG will either claim the cost were inflated or ask the State not to touch the project due to budgetary constraints( their claim)

Fashola had requested to fix the airport road leading to MMAirport,he was told to back off as the FG had it under view to fix........but have they fixed it?

Tin-Can Apapa Wharf road which normally cause untold hardship on Lagosians is still the way it is just because the FG does not see it as a priority and secondarily because Lagos is an opposition state

I hope you were in Nigeria when Tinubu wanted to fast-track lagos development by bringing ENRON barges as a source of independent power supply to only Lagos state.......Obasanjo led PDP FG simply remembered the constitution gives absolute right to the FG over electricity which forced Lagos to turn the ENRON barges over to the FG which diverted the current generated into the National Grid and refused to make Lagos priority receiver of the electricity so generated

i hope you knew Tinubu was against Buhari candidature in 2011 due to breakdown in their alliance BUT against 2015 he was his chief campaigner hence in this dispensation......dont not bellyache if Tinubu uses his close affinity to buhari now to attract more to the SW

As a party leader and inner caucus member,Tinubu and all APC Governors can get approval to whatever project they wish done faster in their domain than a PDP or any other opposition Governor who would be subjected all the due processes( dont get me wrong) under the world since the APC folks will naturally have more access to the President than opposition members....or have we not seen how some PDP Governors almost turned the Villa into their 2nd home?


All the examples i have given is to underscore the fact that unless you are closest to the FG,you will only get what is statutory but not any add-ons. Please tell me who does not like some extras in life

Just like an alumnus of UNILAG can not expected to be treated like a King at OAU Ife,same is an opposition politician not expected to get any preferential treatment with the ruling party

Peter Obi though of APGA was able to leverage on his personal friendship with Jonathan to get some perks for Anambra state yet the core PDP members in Anambra were very vehement against him being made anything under the PDP while still at APGA but when he decamped into PDP he was welcomed and have been so treated with all the courtesies due to any other PDP big-fish

If not that Lagos under Tinubu then quickly recognised the game Obasanjo led PDP could be up to hence embarked on serious financial re-engineering which blocked all loopholes and made the Govt generate fantastic IGR to meet its obligations to workers and citizens,you think Lagos would not have been over-ran by the rampaging Federal might?

While States under opposition would get their STATUTORY allocations as enshrined under the constitution...............I put it to you that FG also always give the state under their party banner some other jara on top which normally makes life smoother in the running of their states

Sweetguy25:
Its high time Imo people vote this abokki out of power.

Please vote him out of power so that when your allocation gets slashed and the opposition government you will install tax you all to death in order to run the state,you wont say you were not told

Most of you are just so full of hate that you wont mind to cut your nose to spite your face

If you dont know that there is an inherent advantage aligning with a friendly ruling government at the centre

GEJ tactically reduce the allocation to most opposition states citing crude oil theft and reduced oil price while giving leverage to PDP states through the ecological funds to shore up their dwindled allocation in order to make workers and citizens in the opposition states to cry and blame their Governors for owing them many months salary

While Osun workers wailed and whined about Aregbesola owing few months salary,did you hear Ekiti workers make so much noise? That is the advantage of being with the ruling party... a style started by OBJ which Jonathan has also perfected....which is to stifle opposition states of their funds in order to turn opinion poll against them while feeding well its own controlled states

So Imolites should vote out Rochas so that when the new Governor start feeling the cash crunch and seeks to transfer the pain on you the masses,you will perfectly understand the import of your sill.y decisions

instead of you to be happy that Imo will enjoy more attention and patronage from the APC FG,you want to cut your head due to Okorocha;s headache

Kontinu

OP please dont bother yourself with political juveniles who dont read about history

The historical fact about Nigeria is that since time immemorial,the SS and SE have always aligned with the North they now deride as Born To Rule

It was an historical fact also that the merger we now see in APC was first consumated by the Nationalists of those days but Nnamdi Azikiwe always opt or chicken out in forming a political alliance between citizens of Southern Nigeria

Awolowo who saw the fact that if SW and SE could form an alliance it would always defeat the Northern elements but Zik always spurned his hand of friendship due to the rivalry between both of them yet Awolowo in 1979 deferred to Zik who was few years elderly to him by accepting to be the VP to Zik's Presidency yet the man not only backed out at the last minutes but also leaked the letter Awolowo wrote to him suggesting that proposition to the Press and the Northern Oligarchs

That leaked letter saga led to the sack of Odia Ofeimum who was the Private Secretary to Chief Awolowo then......as he was the one that delivered the letter to Zik hence was thought to be behind the leak but the man consistently said he didnt do it as he has no reason to

When this latter day children of hate come here to allege the SW,one wonders what story they were told about the past

During the formation of APC,all opposition parties were invited to be part of the a grand merger including APGA

While Rochas Okorocha bought into the vision,Peter Obi reneged due to his friendship with Jonathan and probably his own selfish ambition which he feels would be better served under PDP hence he could not wait to hand over power to Obiano before decamping to PDP

APGA have consistently been rap.ed by PDP in the East through rigging anytime they hold elections despite the adoption of Jonathan for Presidency.......one should wonder if the movers of APGA dont always ask for territorial immunity when giving blanket endorsement to Jonathan

So it is only a fo.ol that will blame us SWners for forming a bigger brand of a party when they were invited but they spurned the chance only to turn around to call APC a Yoruba/Hausa-Fulani gang-up

Accursed Children of Hate who should have looked inwards and query their political leaders for being selfish and not thinking about the larger picture but their own pockets

The same people who call SWners Hausa slaves have 95% of their Rich men all made under Hausa led Civilian regime of Shagari and Military regime of IBB and Abacha through sycophancy and heart-rendering boot..licking

We know those who aligned with IBB to scuttle Abiola's mandate and who jubilated when the elections were annulled,they never joined in the push geared towards forcing IBB out

Immediately Abacha ascended the Presidency we knew those who said they were going to die if he does not transmute into a civilian president

We know those who were at the fore front of Obasanjo 3rd term attempt even when the Yorubas were vehemently against it despite being their son

Awon omo oro deede

OP everything you said was spot on!

Can you imagine some educated illiterate saying the Southerners should have stuck with Jonathan in the name of SOUTHERN SOLIDARITY even if he failed.......arrant nonsense and BS of Olympian proportion

I for one saw through the shenanigans of Jonathan's I HAVE NO SHOES mantra in 2011 and told people vehemently that the DNA of any member of PDP predisposes them to failure by DEFAULT...........you can never have any outstanding success in PDP at the Federal level because of the entrenched interest and cabal who are used to looting and corruption

I had a hot arguement with a Pastor friend then who tried to use the 'will of God' nonsense when speaking to people why they should vote Jonathan and i told them that they should expect pain,agony,disappointments as the days go by

immediately he announced the 2012 fuel hike,i instantly became a celebrity because i predicted that the humongous amount of money he deployed for his campaign would be recouped via so many anti-people policies

Thank God he was booted out this time,the amount of back hole already dug into our finances waiting for Buhari would shock even an Atheist because Jonathan have squandered our Foreign Reserve which reportedly got depleted by whooping 1.6Billion Dollars in March alone

When citizens begin to use electron microscope to look for government's performance which they cant feel or touch around them.......you must know that the government is a Failed one and Jonathan did fail woefully

Lagos suffered under a PDP led FG which denied it a lot of its rights as a former capital territory

Now that APC which presently controls Lagos is Govt in waiting at the Federal level,it would be counter productive to allow PDP/Bode George/Koro/Ogunlewe through their surrogate child just kidding to have any foothold in Lagos

Bode George/Koro/Ogunlewe were the people who stood between Lagos and what it should have benefitted

Ogunlewe used the FERMA agency to almost truncate the building of the BRT corridor by Tinubu when he was a Minister of Works as he deployed Police to arrest those who were working on the FG roads of Ikorodu Rd and Western avenue

Koro on his part stands for everything negative about a Yoruba man

Bode George is looking for political rehabilitation of some sorts

And these are the people standing behind Jimi Agbaje whose campaign style have been filled with brigands and hooligans terrorising the populace because they belong to the PDP

OPC also have been used to strike fear into the minds of Lagosians due to the support that PDP had given them

Lagosians must never make the mistake of allowing these characters around the corridors of power

Lagos have suffered enough under PDP FG,we should not allow them an inch again around us

PDP made us go through Hell in Lagos..................we must never allow PDP bring its madness to Lagos through a Charlatan like Jimi Agbaje who has been threatning us with Militancy if we dont allow Jonathan get a 2nd term

edogirl2:
PDP will lose more states. It's inevitable.

Any tangible recovery for the party is at least 2 years away as most Nigerians are simply repulsed by the party right now.


They will need to lay low and rebuild from the ground up again.

Confirmed

I am very sure that the Buhari Tsunami will get replicated once again especially in the North

So PDP should go and start jogging to play in Relegation

idumuose:
[s]Jimi Agbaje is my choice as the next lagos state governor.[/s]

Snake charmer

why not tell us who your choice would be from Benue state

OP you did good by standing on your conviction

Kudos to you

Lagosians should avoid the mistake of allowing PDP ressurect using Lagos as a launching pad

If not for the doggedness of the progressives led by Tinubu,who stood resolutely and pushed back the marauding buccanneers of the PDP led FG,we all might have been ran ragged out of town

Lagos now stand to benefit immensely with being in a mainstream party that is same as at the federal level hence we should vote Ambode for continuity of Fashola's laudable and giant strides

The most idiotic thing by Jonathanians is their attempt to beatify their Principal even to the most ridiculous level of saying he might win the Mo Ibrahim Prize for Leadership in Africa or The Nobel Prize because he conceded defeat

What an arrant nonsense

What about all the issues surrounding his cluelessness,lack of leadership capacity,monumental corruption

I am not taken in by his attempt to whitewash his already soiled and sordid political leadership

May he go into oblivion and never should Nigeria have the ill-luck associated with his EthnoReligious and Clannish divisive brand of politicking

nzeadachie:

How well did their son who was just booted out perform or even addressed the environmental challenges of the Niger Delta

Asari and his Militants cohorts are super charlatans who hide under the canopy of resource control to amass humongous wealth unto themselves while leaving the larger populace improverished

Asari has all his investments in Benin Republic yet he claims he loves the Niger Delta and its people

Jonathan miscalculated. He thought if he won, the efect would sweep all states under PDP

I told someone that the APC governors should forget their campaign and ensure Buhari wins, once that is done its an easy ride to victory

Jimi would now explain to Lagosians without the presidential cover what he meant by his useless utterances.

His Godfather already gave up and said he was going on exile, Fayose his backer is already changing tones, same with Mimiko

God bless you

Can you imagine the numbers of people that Jimi Agbaje's thugs have killed all in their bid to take-over or capture Lagos?

The did all that under the hallucinatory confidence of Federal might

Also his utterances have been very thuggish and idiocy-laden

[s]Lol fear don de catch you ni? I bet you 99 99% of those who voted for PDP last Saturday will repeat the same pattern next week. But at 30% of those who voted APC last Saturday will switch to PDP next week.
.you call okada riders as barely few thousands, you seriously think only the okada riders were affected? What about their customers? What about the millions ofpoor people who bear the brunt of Fashola's elitist policies?
=bros ask the average yoruba man in Lagos, their mantra is change in Abuja and Lagos[/s]

There people like you go again

Trying to pontificate over an issue you have no clue about.........Like Barcanista like Chukwudi44

It is people like you who made Jonathan to lose by telling him what he wants to hear

Lagosians and SWners know that this is the best time to bury PDP for good.....

having tasted the punishment of the PDP led FG all these years as an opposition state and having just won the FG

Lagosians know that allowing the worst of the PDP in Yorubaland to use Lagos as a springboard towards political relevance for people like Bode George,Adeseye Ogunlewe,Musiliu Obanikoro and the OPC duo of Frederick Fasehun and Gani Adams through Jimi Agbaje is a NO NO

Jimi Agabje by his disposition has shown that he is a divisive man....a man who has been using brigands and thugs to unleash terror on Lagosians under the tacit protection of the PDP FG

The show of shame of the OPC recently is something very fresh in the memories of Lagosians

Lagos stands to benefit so much under a friendly FG at this period hence the need to vote for continuity of Fashola's legacies.......

Lagos suffered under a PDP led FG which denied it a lot of its rights as a former capital territory

Now that APC which presently controls Lagos is Govt in waiting at the Federal level,it would be counter productive to allow PDP/Bode George/Koro/Ogunlewe through their surrogate child just kidding to have any foothold in Lagos

Bode George/Koro/Ogunlewe were the people who stood between Lagos and what it should have benefitted from the FG

Approvals for many landmark projects which would have benefitted the common man were deliberately withheld due to politics

I recall how Seye Ogunlewe used the FERMA agency to almost truncate the building of the BRT corridor by Tinubu when he( Ogunlewe) was Minister of Works as he deployed Police to arrest those who were working on the FG roads of Ikorodu Rd and Western avenue

Koro on his part stands for everything negative about a Yoruba man, a man who gleefully deploy Federal might in the Ekitigate scandal....rougely touting the name of the President for a despicable act

Bode George is looking for political rehabilitation of some sorts

And these are the people standing behind Jimi Agbaje whose campaign style have been filled with brigands and hooligans terrorising the populace because they belong to the PDP

OPC also have been used to strike fear into the minds of Lagosians due to the support that PDP had given them and are poised to do more havoc if ever they get under the patronage of a PDP government

Lagosians must never make the mistake of allowing these characters around the corridors of power

Lagos have suffered enough under PDP FG,we should not allow them an inch again around us
