2027 ELECTION: HON. OLUJIDE OLURANKINSE SOLICITS SUPPORT, UNVEILS PLANS TO DELIVER DIVIDENDS OF DEMOCRACY



According to renowned author Alan Lakein, "Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it." This quote aptly reflects the approach of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) candidate for the House of Representatives, Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency, Hon. Olujide Olurankinse (Jendor), as he continues to engage constituents and outline his vision ahead of the 2027 general election.

Hon. Olujide Olurankinse, an international businessman with extensive experience in human capital development, is seeking the mandate of the people to represent Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives. He is the son of the late High Chief Olagundoye Olurankinse, the Logbosere of Idanreland, who was widely respected for his unwavering commitment to community development and humanitarian service.

Speaking on his decision to contest the election, Hon. Olurankinse explained that his passion for public service was inspired by the legacy of his late father, whose developmental initiatives and selfless service earned him the admiration of the people. According to him, his aspiration is driven by the desire to sustain that legacy by promoting community development and improving the lives of the less privileged.

As part of his contributions to human capital development, Hon. Olurankinse has consistently sponsored the annual Logbosere Memorial Football Competition for over 14 years in honour of his late father. The tournament has become a platform for youth empowerment, talent discovery and grassroots development.

Over the years, the competition has evolved into a symbol of unity and hope, encouraging healthy competition among young people while providing opportunities for talented youths to pursue their dreams. Some beneficiaries of the initiative have reportedly secured scholarships abroad, further demonstrating the programme's positive impact.

Beyond sports development, Hon. Olurankinse has extended humanitarian support to widows and vulnerable members of society through the distribution of rice and other food items during festive seasons, bringing relief and joy to many families.

In furtherance of his commitment to social responsibility, Hon. Olurankinse, in collaboration with Pastor Betiku, supported the establishment of an orphanage home located at Tejumade in Owena, Idanre Local Government Area. The orphanage has continued to provide care, shelter and hope for less privileged children.

Looking ahead, the APM House of Representatives candidate said that, if elected, he would leverage both legislative opportunities and his local and international connections to attract meaningful development projects to Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency. He stressed that effective representation goes beyond lawmaking and should include facilitating programmes and projects that directly improve the welfare of the people.

Hon. Olurankinse also disclosed plans to initiate sister-community partnerships aimed at fostering sustainable development in key sectors such as education, healthcare, agriculture and industrial development. According to him, the initiative will involve collaboration with non-governmental organisations (NGOs), international development partners and foreign communities willing to support African communities, thereby creating alternative avenues for development even when government intervention is limited.

He assured constituents that his administration, if elected, would focus on inclusive representation, youth empowerment, economic growth and strategic partnerships that would bring lasting dividends of democracy to the people of Idanre and Ifedore Federal Constituency.

That's not the point now Naptu, what we are saying is, after the attendance of Tinubu on his last visit to the UN, how come he is yet to pay any visit to the US till now.

A Call for Unity and Purpose — Support Hon. Bolanle Amina Sarumi (BASA) for Oyo Governor 2027

In moments like this, true leadership is not defined by titles, but by trust — trust earned through service, sacrifice, and sincerity. Hon. Bolanle Amina Sarumi (BASA) has carried these values like a shining banner, proving that greatness is not measured by how loud one speaks, but by the lives one touches in silence and love.

Across Oyo State, her name has become a symbol of compassion, humility, and progress — a name that inspires hope and stirs a vision for a better tomorrow.
This is not just a political movement; it is a call to purpose.

We are not asking for support out of politics; we are inviting you into a partnership for change. Oyo State deserves a leader who listens, who feels the heartbeat of the people, and who walks the path of service with integrity and grace. BASA stands as that light — firm, faithful, and fearless in her vision for a transformed Oyo.

To everyone who believes in justice, fairness, and a brighter future, this is your moment. This is the time to stand with a woman who leads with her heart before her hands a leader who builds, inspires, and uplifts.
Together, we can raise a new generation of believers in development, dignity, and destiny.

And In Shaa Allah, our unity will write a new story of victory — not just for one person, but for every family, every child, and every dream in Oyo State.

• World Bank: $17.81 billion USD 

Nigeria has made significant strides in reducing its IMF debt.

While its obligations to the World Bank have increased due to new loan approvals aimed at supporting various sectors.

We have paid 306 million dollars owed IMF. But we have borrowed new loans of $13.5 billion bringing our total external debt to $45 billion

If Nigeria pays only 306 million dollars every 2 years as Tinubu just did we would still owe over $45 billion dollars at the end of his first 4 years. Because the interest on the remaining $45 billion is up to $300 million dollars.

In the world of Debts, All Tinubu did was service the loan, he only paid the interest !!!!

We still owe World Bank and others close to $45 Billion dollars and we are still borrowing more....We still owe over 150 x 306 million.

We still owe $5 billion dollars to China. We have borrowed $13.5 billion while paying back 300 million to IMF.

Stop spreading news to deceive the citizens. When you make announcements like this. Paint the whole picture.

That's what accountability and transparency means.

Don't mind the liars.....like this was how Obasanjo cleared our debts

intruxive:

Everybody becoming a philosopher on tinubu matters.

What you all dont understand is that the yorubas recognize the benefit of a strong united front with a common leader

We had one when we had the oyo empire and conquered everyone around us

They killed our MKO

But now we have a jagaban and we will rally round his leadership
You all should be very AFRAID because the yorubas just resurected a 21st century empire
And the capital is lagos

Just like that this topic is still relevant today as the hen has come home to roost. Tinubu is toast already.

Chinjo2:
I know Jandor is going to put up a huge fight but to unseat Sanwo Olu, that is an impossible task.

Wake up, APC only relies on rigging to win. Jandor will beat Sanwoolu silly this time around I will remind you by March next year. How Jandor did it I don't know but a lot is working for him. The people are fed up with Tinubu high handedness in Lagos, besides, those working for Jandor are even within APC so you can now see why APC will lose.

Lagosians should consider themselves lucky to have this man coming up at a time like this to change the course of event for the good of the land. Congratulations to PDP in advance. By the time the #EndSars crew unleash what they have in their kitty against SanwoOlu and Tinubu plus his Seyi, I don't see them surviving it. Congrats to Jandor I see him winning great thanks to BVAS and the new Electoral Law

anthonyuncle:
no be lie you talk.



I've realized that no matter how I try to explain this to people outside Lagos, they can't understand it.

How do you expect sane-minded people to grasp it, it sounds so strange and weird to comprehend my brother.

Oddfinder12:
Bros if u get any kind problem for Lagos. Both domestic issues or streets. Your best bet is to approach the chief agbero in the Area. The matter will be settled amicably. They're more influential than law enforcement agencies. That's the mega city tinubu built

Imagine, this is not only sad but highly wrong in all ramifications especially when we have law enforcement agents around. May Tinubu, Sanwoolu and APC never succeed.

Wao just wao....... what did I just read? I hope Lagosians and especially PDP in Lagos can take time to read this meditatively and understand that these "weird young lords" loaded with free money and act like demons on our highways in Lagos are directly working for Tinubu and his cronies which include Sanwoolu and other APC robbers in power therefore this coming election must be a matter of make or mar for PDP or else, Lagos glory might be buried on the long run. Imagine what this article just revealed to us and yes they are facts because these are what we see everyday happening in Lagos. I have every reason to mobilize massively for PDP's candidate, Dr Abdulazeez Olajide Adediran a.k.a Jandor to become Governor in Lagos come 2023, away with houseboy Sanwoiku or is it sanwoolu now.

OAM4J and Mynd44 kindly push this read to the front page it's worth it....

*A GOVERNOR WITHOUT HONOUR: INSIGHTS INTO THE CRIMINAL PROFILE AND DIRTY SECRETS OF PRINCE DAPO ABIODUN*

_By Dr. AOO Olu-Onagoruwa_

The best they say must always lead the rest but it appears that Ogun State, which happens to be the cradle of civilization is in for a public show of shame as a result of tragic flaws in character of the present occupier of the Number One seat of the Gateway State. This is a State that has produced great legends like Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, Prof Wole Soyinka, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Prof Obey Fabiyi, Primate Peter Jasper Akinola amongst several other international icons known for high moral standards and copious integrity. 

A prolog into the shady character of Prince Dapo Abiodun was first noticed during the filling of Nomination forms for his 2019 Gubernatorial Aspiration. The Governor was quoted to have said he attended the famous Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife and graduated with a Degree In Accounting. Without Wasting much time, the leadership of the school refuted the claim and stated otherwise that no Abiodun, Adedapo Oluseun was a student of the institution in that year. The Ivy Tower further added that they did not have any course known as Accounting in their Curriculum but Management & Accounting. The Governor was later to stammer and stutter like a failed ignition in December 2018 when Seun Okinbaloye of Channels Television posted same question to him during an Interview Series on the television Programme.  As usual, the feline Governor was able to maneuver his way out, by buying over the press till the issue died a natural death despite the fact that Cable Newspaper confirmed that he was involved in certificate forgery. In his 2019 Gubernatorial Form thereafter, he claimed to possess only Secondary School Certificate – an insult on the collective intelligence of the good people of the State who had had the benefits of being led by Professional Journalist, Engineer & Chartered Accountant.  Even his Wikipedia Page affirms that the Educational Background of Abiodun remains unclear (sic). Till date, the true academic record of the Governor is not known since oratory prowess covers the inadequacy.

Upon his emergence as the Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun was quick to appoint one of his syndicates, another Ijebu Son whose elder brother owns the Limelight Hotel in Ago-Iwoye as a Senior Special Assistant. The aide, Abidemi Rufai recently pleaded guilty to the 15 Counts Charge of Fraud and Identity Fraud after being in detention since his arrest in New York in May 2021. A case very similar to the Criminal record of his Employer. You will then agree that the Englishman who says a bird of the same feather flocks together were very correct in their assertion. In order to smoothen the edges so that the matter will not be linked to him, His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun hurriedly and without any benefit of explanation or conviction, dismissed the aide in a manner that a Shoplifter discards his stolen goods upon the hearing of footsteps. As members of the same trade, the although black-but-ever-looking-yellow Governor knew the curtain has been drawn against their antics.  For the Governor to have taken such drastic decision within hours after his arrest, that means His Excellency had a working idea of the whole scam afterall Law upholds that any suspect shall be presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction.

It happened that Abidemi Rufai one of the close pals of the Governor has been using the identities of more than 100 Washington residents to steal more than $350,000 in unemployment benefits from the Washington State Employment Security Department (ESD) during the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020. There are 100,000 pages of evidence and discovery materials against him. His suits will again appear for hearing on the 31st of May, 2022. The question that should be at the back of your mind now is that was there ever a background check into the suitability, integrity and criminal records of Political Appointee’s by the Department of Security Service (DSS) and other law enforcement agencies? Everything abut the Governor is highly convoluted.

A peep into the private life of the Governor of the over 7.2 million good people of the State is like visiting a manger, poultry or a horse staple full of stench and odour as can be imagined.  The Self-acclaimed Deacon of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) who has a tripartite agreement with God, keeps numerous strange bedfellows. He is a heavy drunkard who gulps ale and opium with the same velocity water guzzles into an open manhole. In fact, prior to the 2019 General Elections, his delectable wife, an oasis in the desert, a modest daughter of a Professor in Ilishan, and former deputy Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, had already called the marriage a quit leaving him to the mercies of his inimical addictions. How best do you explain getting married to a man who could decide to risk his whole life by jumping from a Story-Building in the course of having a tryst with a former married minister whose Husband came in?. You may wish to ask His Excellency the actual story behind his limping and wobble legs. He took the interventions of high-profiled citizens of the State, particularly a former Governor of the State to appeal to the woman to return home after the primary elections.

How will it sound that a 59-year old incoming Governor of Ogun State has no wife but keeps harems of mistresses and sleeps around like faunas? Dr. Mrs. Bamidele Abiodun surely honoured these interventions, parading herself as the First Lady of the State but with the acquiescence that the centre is not holding.

The woman was later forced to keep a distance in order to maintain sanity with sparing dispositions to State Government responsibilities.  Earlier in the marriage, the couple had lost their first son, Olugbenga Abiodun simply known as DJ Olu on 7th  October 2017 to addictions taken from his father. The boy was reported to have been a heavy drug dependent, always sniffing whitish powdery substance from his anatomical snuffbox. A true son of his father who merely learnt by observation. The lifeless body of the 25-year-old alongside his friends was later discovered at the basement of a Flat in Banana Island, Ikoyi Lagos. One thing that remains inconvertible is that a child is always a reflection of the father and the family values. 

Ogun Indigenes were going about their lawful businesses when in March 2022 facts emerged through Sahara Reporters that the Yellow Loving Governor was an Ex-Convict. To say they were shocked to the bone marrow was an understatement. Mere looking at the Governor, one may never know that he has such dark and odious past. Looks indeed are very deceptive. This was a Governor who went to a RCCG Church in London leading praises, confessing tripartite agreements and giving testimonies. ‘Don’t be too quick to admire teachers of morality’ a Sage once told me “they talk like angels but they live as men”. Interestingly, it is against moral and judicial conscience that ex-convicts of whatsoever territory should occupy public office. The 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as condemnably as it is also expressly stated it so.  

The Government first dismissed the claim that nothing of such ever occurred. In fact, the greedy Ogun State APC Publicity Secretary, Comrade Tunde Oladunjoye, another tragic character hurried put-up his usually watery and disconcerted rejoinder to dismiss the claim. As more facts later emerged, the Governor, obviously moved by the accuracy of evidences against him and not knowing the gravity of such admittance, acknowledged the claim through his social media handles but with a caveat that such record is not strong a reason/ground to disqualify him from contesting the Gubernatorial elections in 2023. What an effrontery! When my learned friend, who became a lawyer at the age of 40 will always say _Nemo Judex in Causa Sua_ meaning you cannot be a judge in your own case. 

Within a spate of time, and probably after serious legal counsels, the State Government again vehemently denied the claim - An admittance that was earlier shared through their social media Handles. His Chief Press Secretary, the tall and loquacious writer tried all he could, with the power of words, concord and syntax to correct the wrong and dispel the facts but the deeds have already been done. Like my great grandmother will always say, the knife had lacerated the hand and the Child had thrown it away but the knife had done its worst. Afterall, you cannot approbate and reprobate at the same time.  

Adedapo Oluseun Abiodun, now the number one citizen of Ogun State, elected by the goodwill of the people, living on public fund was in fact arrested and jailed on 7th November, 1986 for credit card fraud, petty theft and check forgery in Miami Dade Florida, USA. The Governor was said to have used a pseudo Name, Shawn Micheal Davids with Shawn probably standing for his middle name Seun to perpetrate fraud. He was said to have violently evaded arrest injuring a police officer in the process. Those close to the Governor will agree to this Violent part of his character. He is a man with a relatively short fuss, prone to irascible anger and occasional bouts of irritability. It was in the course of his profiling that forensic science through his fingerprints pointed to the fact that Adedapo Oluseun Abiodun is indeed the same hardened criminal known as Shawn Micheal Davids. This is a collective insult to the good people of the State.

I read with pity and consolation an article written by one faceless Forensic Expert named Dr. Abdulhameed Adedeji, trying to make fenestrated arguments that the Passport Photograph in the CTC of Document in circulation is a poor photoshop dismissing it as a hatchet job. As much as the said Doctor is merely doing the bidding of his paymaster, it is known to everybody that a drowning man will even try to catch a straw.

The material fact of the documents was to authenticate whether Adedapo Oluseun Abiodun was actually jailed or not.  It is a precious waste of time and exercise in futility to leave leprosy to treat ringworm. I do not know the nexus between criminality and a passport Photograph when the Certified True Copy of the document can be obtained at the Miamade Police Department, Miami Florida. 

The interesting part of this shameful narrative is that the same person who refuted the claim had in 2015 applied for a Redaction of his Criminal Records when he was to contest against the Late Senator Buruji Kashamu of blessed Memory. That Application is also in circulation. What is Redaction of Criminal Records you might want to ask me? Redaction of criminal records as lectured by my lawyer friend is a form of Expungement used for instances where a person desires to rub-off his illegal wrongdoings and criminal records. It is like mopping the floor to make it clean.  

This is one of the cases that will test our moral ground as community of people desiring change. If such dastard character and a criminal like Prince Dapo Abiodun is given the APC Gubernatorial party ticket for the 2023 General Election, that shows that neither the electorate or the APC party is ready for a true and lasting CHANGE.

Moreover, Prince Dapo Abiodun appears to be the worst Administrator so far in the history of Ogun State. He does not pick and reciprocate calls to even the state elders unlike a former Governor of the State who will return the messages of an ordinary citizen even in the wee hours of the night. All his cabinet members are fed up and only in Government for the Largess. The Patrimony of the State is being enormously siphoned and shared with his syndicates like the SSG, COS & one element called Egbetokun.

We may want to ask His Excellency the basis of his strained relationship with Senator Ibikunle Amosun (SIA). Who actually owns the Private Jet? I will tell you for authority that the Governor does not honour Gentleman’s Agreement.  Does one even expect a feline Leopard to change his spots? He has continued to use the State Treasury to liquidate his personal insolvency. Files and memo, even on crucial matters, do not get speedy and desired attention.

Now to the Youths, i will further advise all aspiring Political Office holders to watch their tracks and live a life of Sanctity, honesty and integrity. The Big brother is watching all of us. The advent of internet and social media will ease and facilitate access to deep information unlike the time past. The internet never forgets.

If there is one book I always recommend to politicians and friends alike, that will be the “Mayor of Casterbridge” written by Thomas Hardy. In that book, Michael Henchard, a heavy drunkard upon intoxication casted his young family as a lot to a sailor. He later rededicated his life on the 16th September, gained prosperity and became the Mayor of Casterbridge. Whilst trying to contest for the love of Elizabeth Jane, the past came calling only to lose everything because of the tragic flaws in his character. He was relinquished as the Mayor and later committed suicide when his dirty past caught up with him.

How far would we go in this show of shame in Ogun State? Are we going to do siddon look and  place a hardened criminal at the helms of our affairs? Would APC as a party fly an ex-convict as a Flagbearer? When has the State known for everything good descended into this deep abyss? These are parts of the questions throttling my mind. I am seriously waiting to see where the pendulum will swing.

Baba Tinubu This man need to be studied by student of politics in our universities, we need to have a full syllabus on Asiwaju with reference to Nigerian politics

on agberoism right......what a pity on your taste in life.....to study such filth?

Mynd44:
1. Tinubu gets Lagos and Osun.

2. Tinubu gets Ogun. Dapo Abiodun is not in charge of APC Ogun. It is more apparent from the fact that 60% of his cabinet are Yayi boys, he became governor from Yayi's structure. Only people in Ogun know this. Dapo and PYO are from the same place but how come you haven't seen Dapo actively supporting PYO? You want hin to upset YAYI so support for his second term can be withdrawn?
As for Amosun, he is not even in the party. I said it; he does not have a single Ogun delegate to vote for him

3. Oyo doesn't have a governor but the minister and the APC structure is still Ajimobi's and well…

4. Ekiti will be shared if Fayemi doesn't run and even at that, Ekiti delegates know their principal wont win and will most likely look out for themselves.

5. Ondo is anyhow

my friend keep quiet, Tinubu is toast already, woe betide him......you guys have no single shame

~~Lagos 2023 Gubernatorial Election.
The Contenders and Pretenders: A story of Victors and Victory.

The forthcoming 2023 elections provides our great party with another opportunity to accomplish its goal of surmounting APC at the governorship poles. Given this huge task that seems more possible now than ever, PDP may be in for an intense Face-off between her members for the representative ticket of the gubernatorial Candidate for 2023. The fierce battle for the one who will stand in line for the party in the battle for the Governor of Lagos state has begun.
In Lieu to this, there are seven major aspirants vying for the PDP gubernatorial ticket:

WHO ARE THE CONTENDERS?
1.) First on the list is Prince Wale Gomez. Prince Wale Gomez as loved by many is a chieftain of the PDP in Lagos, he has shown his readiness to lead the party 'in the past'. He has never hidden the fact that his eyes is set on the governor's seat at Alausa. He has perambulate the political terrains in Lagos, combing the four walls of the state, laying his bricks layer by layer, hoping to win. If he will actualize his ambition we are yet to see as we keep our fingers crossed.

2.) Another aspirant is David Kolawole-Vaughan otherwise known as DAKOVA by many. Dakova is a remarkable political strategist known within the state and the national level.  He is crafty and talented in the areas of applying his ingenuity.
What is clear for everyone to see however is his irrevocable will to also contest for the party representation at the polls for the 2023 gubernatorial election and he has obtained his nomination form as a proof of this.
Everyone knows Dakova has been contesting before now. However, the question on everyone's lips is "How far will Dakova go with his ambition"?.




3.) Dr Ade Dosunmu, Former Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), and also the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2011 election has also shown tenacity. He would have been a good contender but for his lateness and past antecedent in gubernatorial elections, we don't know how far he too can go.

4.) Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour is an architect, public policy expert, politician and leader of the OURLAGOS movement, a beneficiary of the 'not too young to run movement'. In the 2019 general elections, he emerged as the PDP senatorial candidate representing Lagos West, the largest senatorial district, (by population), making him the youngest senatorial candidate of a major party. His partnership with WellaHealth to provide Micro Health Cover for 1 million Lagosians in commemoration of World Malaria Day on the 25th of April 2022 has set up a good precedence for him and his commitment to healthcare. 

MR. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, GRV is a young, vibrant and charismatic aspirant but he is coming out late and we can't tell yet what will be his fate.

5.) Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, popularly known in the state political circuit as Jandor has shown his zeal,  fervor and readiness. The leader of the Lagos4Lagos Movement has raised the bars for governorship aspirants within the party by creating a clear consise focus and working tirelessly to actualize it. It's not an hearsay to state as a fact that since Jandor walked into the Party he has become an household name greatly penetrating all sections. He is the first aspirant to purchase the Lagos Nomination Form for governorship among the aspirants in the PDP as to formally confirm his readiness to contest for the party’s ticket. This clear and consise action along with other proceeding establishes that he has a strong structure reminding me of Funsho Williams of blessed memory; the only man to have ever had such structure. This and his astute, insightful approach to politics, gives him a higher chance of winning the elections.

6.)Equally, Otunba Olanrewaju Kamal, Jim-Kamal as he is fondly called has declared intention to contest for the Lagos state governorship under our party. Although he is unknown, he has transverse the state, building where he can and has been making his four-point agenda known. Nonetheless, we are yet to see him show to us that he is a strong contender.


7.) Consequently, Adedeji Doherty, former National Vice Chairman, South-West of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a 2019 governorship aspirant has now shown interest to also contest for the party's representative ticket.
The unorthodox but seemingly true thing about Doherty is that If given the party's ticket, He might sell it to the opposition Party.
It looks irresponsible but not impossible. Doherty has consecutively announced his lack of  intention to contest for the 2023 governorship elections and now, in am improbable situation, he has declared his intention to contest for the Party's ticket and the question I keep asking is Why? Why now?
It is an open fact even among his caucus in the party that Doherty is not contesting and now, Doherty has become a contestant. This solidifies beyond any scientific fact that Doherty is not a man of his words and given his chronicles, if presented the ticket, he might sell it to the highest bidder among the opposition party.

WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO AS A PARTY?
Now more than ever, we have a group of contestants with a large following. We also need to understand that defeating the All Progressive People's Party, may remain impossible and unattainable if the party stakeholders refuse to work together as a team.
Judging from the current demeanor of the party, a large percentage of our stakeholders are distracted by narrow interests and sympathies at the expense of the party's Victory at the polls.
In respect to this, it is safe to say PDP stands a higher chance of winning the gubernatorial election if we come together as one, a true PDP family and Unanimously elect a suitable aspirant that will deliver the state for us while we work together to ensure his success.

The former governor of Anambra state has officially thrown his hat into race for president of the federal republic of Nigeria.

He made the declaration today before the council of traditional rulers and other dignitaries at Awka Anambra state.

How true is this please.......

Iyaebe:
Each time I see this ugly boy,I get so angry over what he did to his first wife,the only woman that truly loves him and stood by him when he had nothing only for him to repay her loyalty and love by marrying another wife.Presently he’s doing everything possible to win her back but the woman has refused to come back to him(I know this first hand).Men will never think twice to betray a woman no matter how much you shower him with love and support,so let no lady waste her time with a struggling man because he will surely betray you when he’s successful.

Let us pray........

My brother I just weak with laugh for here mumu CNN/US sympathizers too full here

A man of integrity will not even entertain the idea the minute Asiwaju declared he would have said he is not in the race..end of. they all thought Asiwaju will die because he was very ill at one time. Now they have exposed themselves and Tinubu knows what they were planning so they have no home to come back to and cannot move forward, they are caught in no mans land!!!

May Tinubu too be disgraced as much as an Osinbajo is worst, a Tinubu will be a useless President hence, I reject that bloody rogue too......APC is a curse to Nigeria, it is that simple

FreeStuffsNG:
Iyen na nice. He is likely to win the PDP ticket as usual.
On the mandate of Asiwaju Tinubu I stand.

Just to let you know why Asiwaju Tinubu towers far above HE Atiku and others and state few of the reasons why I state that Asiwaju Tinubu is competent and the most prepared,I may need to take you down memory lane of his account of stewardship in public office sirs and mas.

As the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Tinubu recovered what is now called Eko Atlantic from the raging Atlantic ocean Lagos Bar beach coast line flooding (for decades that problem even some of the more developed nations explain away as climate change problems) defied all solutions by FG and the highbrow strategic Victoria Island was deteriorating fast with businesses, embassies, hotels etc exiting VI in droves. During that time, the Atlantic ocean flooding reach the fringes of Ozumba after the flood completely take over Adetokunbo Ademola. Lagos State Government under the brilliant , resourceful and hardworking Asiwaju Tinubu solved that herculean challenge and today, VI is back to its glory.

It was Asiwaju Tinubu that brought back the Lagos Central Business District and Broad street commercial nerve centre of Nigeria back to life after it was abandoned, it's Asiwaju Tinubu who built major roads from Oregun to Lawanson to Igando LASU to as far as Badagry etc.

Asiwaju Tinubu is the one who fixed the horrible waste problem we had in Lagos and that LASTMA and BRT you see was created by Asiwaju. Asiwaju Tinubu was the one who got Lagos State to be part of the owners of Econet and unlike Delta State where the shares were sold and funds pocketed, Lagos State Shares were warehoused with professional investors in the state investment agency called Ibile holdings.

Asiwaju Tinubu increased bursaries to students of Lagos State origin (NULASS) and made public schools free for all Lagosians regardless of your tribe, religion or political party affiliation after his administration had successfully returned missionary schools to their original owners( other states later copied Lagos) . It was during his tenure that Ikeja General Hospital became a teaching Hospital, upgraded most of the clinics to General Hospitals giving free health to the 5 years and below and Lagosians of 65 years and above age group. .

The fund that BRF used to quickly build infrastructures were the LGA funds withheld by Pa Obasanjo and despite that Asiwaju Tinubu never owed salaries.

When the purchase of FG refineries by Alhaji Dangote was cancelled by HE Yardua, Alhaji Aliko Dangote ran to Asiwaju Tinubu after most state governments and governors in the SS gave Dangote a cold shoulder. Today, through the assistance Asiwaju Tinubu gave Aliko Dangote, Dangote Refinery is taking off to help us stop the petrol subsidy killing our naira and public finances.


Asiwaju Tinubu is loyal to those who paid the ultimate price for our democracy and today heroes like Bagauda Kalto, Pa Alfred Rewane, Pa Abraham Adesanya etc are immortalized in Lagos .

One of the most memorable achievements of Asiwaju Tinubu for me was helping to stop the blood letting and recurring Hausa-Yoruba/OPC war in Idi Araba and Agege. Those hellish period of unrest defied even the effort of past military state administrators of Lagos but Asiwaju Tinubu was able to solve it.

That Lagos State Government civil service is regarded as the best in Nigeria is due to the hardwork Asiwaju Tinubu did to reform it, create Tutors General offices, improved harmonized pay structure, best pension scheme for civil servants etc.
I can go on and on to educate you on the legacies of Asiwaju Tinubu still standing till today as my reasons for my confidence in Asiwaju Tinubu sir/ma

That's why my appeal goes to you my fellow patriotic Nigerians to please vote for Asiwaju Tinubu.
Please vote for Asiwaju Tinubu.

perambulator:
I have said it time and time again, the fact that he is even considering contesting against his benefactor who has worked hard to get to this stage and ursurp him at his potential moment of glory tells you this is not a man with integrity!!!! A pastor!!!!!

God bless you my brother, you truly study human nature......Osinbajo is a terrible pretender

Talawaka:
It is interesting to see how none of those who have responded, hitherto, bothered to counter Farooq Kperogi's article with veritable #facts.
Mind you, to be fair, I also understand how provocative they would have found the descriptor applied to our urbane VeePee here.

Do I agree with his characterisation? Absolutely not!
Do I, Talawaka, consider many of the points he raised to be correct. The answer is 'yes'.

Nigeria is too diverse a country to be headed by someone who plays a pivotal role in any faith-based institution.
The diktats of Erastus Akingbola (CEO of defunct International Bank), who insisted on prayer-days, are still fresh in the mind.

You are one of the wise gods....you truly know Osinbajo

God2man2again:
Ha! Ha! These are not the true picture of Professor Osinbajo

Truly you don't know Osinbajo forget his pious look, nigga is a pious fraud......it will be clearer to you in the future, already I know he can't be President because he is nothing but a terrible pretender

Aufbauh:
I've discovered that Most Nigeria Trump supporters are supporting Putin's invasion of Ukraine simply because Trump was voted out by Americans. Smh!

Well done, Mr Discoverer.......so sad you got it all wrong
