Nonsense!

FastShipping:
It is a welcome development if they cancel it. My brother got a job through Sure-P since August and has not been paid since he resumed work first week in September. My brother supports GEJ for that only reason that he got a "job" created through Sure-P. He believes the job won't be scrapped if GEJ remain as president. I am an ardent supporter of Buhari and APC and I have told my own brother Sure-P is a scam that is only being used to deceive the youths. How can I be financially supporting you to go to work with $300 per month when the so called work you are doing is not bringing you any salary after six good months?

Say NO to the enemy of TRANSFORMATIONS!! Say NO to apcb! GEJ till 2019!!!

But u said we should meet the group na

Fayose always on point! GEJ till 2019!!!

Federal might against two thieves ... GEJ till 2019!!!

Pure TRASH!!

When the report came in that Akinwunmi Ambode, former Accountant General of Lagos State, was the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progress Congress (APC) for Lagos, I was not only calm but was also happy that someone coming from a background that can take the state to the next level, was on board. One thing that impressed me was the candidate’s speech after winning the primary I refer to as the freest and fairest in the history of political primaries in Lagos State. He solely emphasized that Lagos is for all and we must endeavor not to let it down.

I’m not a fan of career politicians running Lagos. I’m a firm believer that technocrats should be directing the affairs of the state. Not because we don’t have capable politicians, but the fact is that the incumbent governor, Babatunde Fashola, has taken governance to an unprecedented level, such that no nonentity can even present himself for that office.

When serial contestant, Jimi Agbaje, also picked the ticket of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), I was jubilant. It stopped being funny when the story of how Mr. Jimi rigged the primary came up and his godfather, Ex-Convict Olabode George, was fingered as the person who rigged the election for him. Reports even revealed that the votes counted outnumbered the number of accredited delegates. Shame.

Crises erupted as former Nigerian Minister of State for Defense, Musiliu Obanikoro, rushed to court and revealed in his affidavit how the election was rigged. Not only that, he went round social media telling the world that Jimi Agbaje is bankrupt and doesn’t have the goodwill to rule Lagos State.

Also, Obanikoro made the world to believe that Jimi Agbaje is a stooge of Bode George and their aim is to run down the purse of Lagos State. Jimi Agbaje has since denied Obanikoro’s claims as he tagged him a bad loser.

THOSE AVAILABLE TO SUCCEED FASHOLA

As a Nigerian who has spent the larger part of his life in Lagos, I will love to have a governor who is going to carry on the yearnings and aspirations of the outgoing governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola; a megacity with opportunities for all.

Who are these candidates? According to their websites;

Akinwunmi Ambode (born June 14, 1963) is an accountant, an administrator and a public finance management expert. He is the Chief Executive Officer of Brandsmiths Consulting Limited – a firm that specializes in public sector finance management. Ambode was formerly the Accountant-General of Lagos State, Nigeria, and held many sensitive financial positions in the Lagos State government in a 27-year career in the Lagos State Civil Service. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) and a Member of the Nigerian Institute of Management. He is the founder of La Roche Leadership Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on developing the next generation of leaders. He is married to Bolanle Patience Ambode (nee Odukomaiya) and they are blessed with children.

Joseph Olujimi Kolawole Agbaje is a pharmacist by training from the then University of Ife, now Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife. A Scion of the Onilegbale Chieftancy family of Lagos and Lasuwon family in Ikorodu, He was raised from a humble background; Father a Banker and Mother a School Teacher.

He possesses veteran experience with over 3 decades as a practicing pharmacist. He served in many health management capacities in his early years as a pharmacist in Lagos State, and is currently the Managing Director of Jaykay Pharmaceutical & Chemical Company Ltd. which is responsible for the manufacturing and distribution of pharmaceuticals across the country. He is a Fellow, Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (FPSN); Fellow, West African Post Graduate College of Pharmacists (FPCPharm); Merit Award Winner (MAW), Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (Lagos State).

Also, he was Action Congress governorship(AC) aspirant in 2007. After losing the primary to incumbent Governor Fashola, Jimi dumped the party for Democratic People’s Alliance(DPA) because then incumbent governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu handpicked Fashola as his successor. Also Mr. Jimi lost to the incumbent Govenor in 2007 as he came third and former Minister of defence Senator Musiliu Obanikoro came 2nd.

With the considerable performance of Fashola in office, during the 2011 election Jimi chose not contest. He even attended the Action Congress of Nigeria’s National Convention at Onikan Stadium in 2010. That was when people started speculating that Jimi will be the next ACN guber candidate in 2015.

But when the ACN merged with other opposition parties to form the  APC, Jimi was nowhere in the founding forces. He instead announced he was joining the PDP. At this juncture, speculation started coming in that he ran away from APC because he doesn’t want to partake in primaries and because he’s a politician and not a technocrat, APC are likely not to use him as their belief goes that, if a politician rules Lagos, they won’t have the political will to effect the mega city dream.

MY CHOICE FOR GOVERNOR

I don’t choose would-be leaders with either religion or tribal sentiments in mind but I choose leaders to vote for with enough conviction at the back of my mind. I want a Governor who is not only going to continue the good works of the present administration and who is going to bring new ideas and not just real ideas but also realistic ideas.

Also, the political party the governor will be operating under matters too. A party with integrity and visible track record is of particular reference here–a party whose program and manifesto can meet the yearnings of Nigerians.

My choice for Governor between Akinwunmi Ambode of APC and Jimi Kolawole Agbaje of PDP is Akinwunmi Ambode of the APC.

Ambode’s experience is very important to the next level Lagos is supposed to move to. After the arduous works done by Fashola, all Ambode has to do is just to follow the same path freely and use his experience in governance to move Lagos to greatness. Also, Ambode has a training in PUBLIC LEADERSHIP in Massachusetts, USA. What else do we need?

Agbaje will take Lagos backwards as he has no knowledge of Public Service and at this stage, a trial and error leadership will destroy must of the institutional foundation laid by Fashola and Bola Tinubu.

With the bad and non-progressive activities of the PDP in Nigeria, I can’t support the party, not to talk of someone in a party of Goodluck Jonathan; a name and party that’s synonymous with failure and corruption. Also, recent happenings in Ekiti shows how evil a PDP candidate can be. Lagos is a peaceful state, I leave my door open to sleep just like Ekiti people did during Kayode Fayemi’s tenure. But the story is now a different one since Ayodele Fayose of the PDP took over.

Jimi Agbaje of PDP has a pharmacy with one branch since 1982 and his JAYKAY Pharmaceutical and Chemical Company Limited has no branch anywhere in Lagos State. Even as the National Chairman, Nigerian Association of General Practice Pharmacists, he couldn’t realise that as a business, he is supposed to have companies across the state. This shows he has no business orientation. Meanwhile Akinwunmi Ambode on his part as a civil servant moved from one LGA to another managing the accounts and finances of LGAs and rose to become the Accountant General of Lagos State. What else do I need in a Governor?

My last observation is that a Leader makes leaders. According to the information on the websites of both Jimi Agbaje and Akinwunmi Ambode, I could deduce that Ambode is already training young leaders to attain positive and inspiring positions in their endevours. This is very important for someone who wants to lead a state like Lagos.

Personally, I took interest in governance just because I saw one man doing what others couldn’t do and that man is Tunde Fashola. I love the man so passionately that I have never hid it from people both in my personal life, social media and academics sphere. I argue politics in class with professors once Tunde Fashola is mentioned. I take the Fashola cause so passionately that I told a friend of mine who works in Alausa to always get me a copy of Lagos Indicator(a monthly magazine showing different works of my amiable Governor). This is just because I want to always follow his ways and footsteps and I can tell he has developed my psyche to the extent that no idiot should occupy public office.

Also, Tunde Fashola has opened my mind to the fact that leaders should not be chosen with sentiments but with pure knowledge of what to do to make a system work. On this basis and with antecedents of this candidate, I can without fear or favour say it that the best man for Itesiwaju Eko as far as Agbaje and Ambode are concerned is Akinwunmi Ambode of the APC because his anabatic career will take Lagos to the next level.

The Man of the people!! GEJ till 2019!!!

CLAPTRAP!!

nairamaker:
“NO SANE YORUBA BLOOD WILL VOTE FOR JONATHAN” – A PRESS STATEMENT ISSUED by COUNCIL OF YOUNG YORUBA PEOPLE (CYYP) WORLDWIDE.
The Council of Young Yoruba People (CYYP) the umbrella body of the next generation of Yoruba leaders both home and abroad hereby condemn in totality, the shameful endorsement of President Jonathan for a second term in office by some elements called Yoruba elders.
The power to endorse anybody for a term in office rests solely on the millions of Yoruba people who have suffered untold hardship under this administration in the last six years. So many unclean waters have passed under the bridge for some people to merely gather themselves together, collect money and begin to talk on behalf of souls they never cared for nor even paid attention to over the years.
It is shocking and shameful that people like Yinka Odumakin, Mimiko, Fayose and the likes are now the Yoruba elders talking for Yoruba people. Yinka Odumakin collected N12m for being at the National Conference, his wife Joe Odumakin also collected N12m for the same jamboree, N24m in the same family for a three months job as we can see, the job is not over for them yet. Mimiko’s cousin was made the Chief of Staff to the President with a promise to make his brother, the INEC chairman when Jega is brutally removed. Fayose shamelessly worked with President Jonathan, using the military and his thugs to rig the Ekiti election, a favour he must return at all cost. How can these characters be the face of Yoruba race? God forbid. They are all just paying back their debts to the settlement master.
Politically, how can any true Yoruba blood even think of voting for Jonathan? In the last five years, no Yoruba man has been among the first ten in Nigeria. If the South South people are supporting Jonathan, they have number one at stake, if the Hausas are supporting Jonathan, their attention is on number two, if the Ibos are supporting Jonathan, they have Secretary to the Federal Government in their grips already, what is the stake of the Yorubas in this contraption? How can we trade away number two position for no recognition at all? It just doesn’t make sense. So they(leaving out none of them) will collect Jonathan’s money and still work against him, check the antecedents of the endorsement merchants.
Nationally, in the last six years, Nigerians have been seriously dealt with by the callous administration of Jonathan and is still difficult to forget. Stella Oduah stole billions of Naira that could give our children solid education, none of these so called Yoruba elders raised a dust. Allison Madueke is spending N10b on flight chatter every year, Abba Moro invited our children to job interview having collected billions of Naira from them, he ended up killing some of them, the Yoruba elders could not even call for his resignation neither did they commiserate with the families of the victims. Many Yoruba entrepreneurs have lost their businesses due to the high level of corruption in the power sector. Today, Nigerian Naira exchanges for N220 to an American Dollar. Many of the Yoruba people living in the up North have lost their lives, their means of livelihood, their family members with no Yoruba elder to bear their pains with them. Industrial strikes like never before has been one the logos of this administration, as we speak, the Health Workers have been on strike for close to one year with ASUP threatening another one, yet the president has enough money to throw around for endorsements. Many Yoruba pensioners have been sent to their early graves because of unchecked corruption in the system. Yoruba indigenes living in FCT have their houses demolished by Bala Mohammed, the FCT Minister and gave out the land to his friends and family members, no Yoruba elders could fight for the hapless people, they keep groaning under a bad system. There were many young Yorubas among the soldiers charged for mutiny just because they demanded for right ammunition to prosecute the senseless war we sent them to, no Yoruba elder is standing up for these poor children. The Yoruba elders saw the madness that characterized the Ekiti and Osun elections, they listened to the tape and the interview of the whistleblower, yet they are not bothered. Seven house members out of 26 passed Ekiti’s budget and are currently legislating for the state, the songs of sorrow in the land grow by the day while the Yoruba elders are busy dancing naked in the market square. What are these elders made of?
Using the National Conference Report as an alibi for the endorsement is about the dumbest thing anyone can hang on to. A Conference that could not address the mode of our cohabitation, the sharing formula of our resources and the control of same is a mere jamboree and political settlement. The report as shallow as it is, can never implementable because it lacks legal backing from the onset, so no one should hide behind that to cajole the Yoruba race.
In conclusion, the Council of Young Yoruba People enjoins all well-meaning Yoruba sons and daughters all over the world to disregard the shameful endorsement of President Jonathan by the so called Yoruba Elders. They are self-serving and are only fighting for their pockets and positions for their own family members. Nigeria as it is today needs a radical change, with what we have witnessed in the last six years, Jonathan cannot be the change we long for.
We equally use this opportunity to call on all Yoruba indigenes who registered but have not collected their Permanent Voter Cards to please do everything possible to collect the card ahead of the general elections in March 28 and April 11 2015, for therein lies your power to say NO to wicked leaders, while we await their next sinister moves.
Odua A Gbe Wa O.
