He no fit submit form again by himself..laziness in the air

Did you just wrote PBAT is lazy? Your delusion is so delusional.

This woman miscalculated so much. Why did she leave APC? By now, she would have been well positioned for better elective office or appointment.

Real power play in Kano. It's becoming more interesting.

ADC ooo

All of you will soon scatter
Soon and soon
And soon again

Lagos is working others are complaining. Keep hating ooo.

When Obasanjo was the President, he could not conquer Tinubu in Lagos. Is it now that the same and stronger Tinubu is the President will an old and far politically weak Obasanjo will now help you conquer Lagos? Happy visitation ooo.

Difrent:
The moment Ladoja became Olubadan the Political dynamics of Oyo state just changed and Sarafa Ali became a leading contender.
The gang up against Adelabu has even ebbed cos President intervened and made Teslim his Renewed hope ambassador for South west and Made Mrs Ajimobi an Ambassador, still the opposition persist , I really begin to pity him and think he might not clinch the ticket except President Insists on him

There is a fundamental issue of competence and accountability here. Quite frankly, this individual has no business aspiring to govern Oyo State. Oyo is not a small or insignificant state, it requires experienced, capable, and results-driven leadership. Someone who struggles to deliver effectively in a national assignment entrusted to him, it raises serious concerns about his capacity to manage the far more complex responsibilities of an entire state.

On the matter of appointments, I strongly believe in placing the right people in the right roles. Ideally, technical positions, such as Minister of Power, should be occupied by professionals with deep expertise in that field. However, once an appointment has been made, competence is no longer optional, it becomes a responsibility.

Coming from a finance background is not, in itself, a limitation. Leadership is not about knowing everything; it is about knowing how to assemble the right team. The moment you accept such a role, it becomes your duty to surround yourself with competent professionals, special advisers, technical experts, and experienced power administrators, who understand the complexities of the sector.

There are no valid excuses for underperformance. With the right support structure, even someone outside the field can succeed and deliver meaningful results. In fact, achieving success from a non-technical background would be a significant strength and would reflect positively on one’s leadership capacity.

At the end of the day, this is about national development, particularly in a critical sector like power. What is required is not excuses, but intentional leadership, strategic thinking, and measurable results. This is simply a matter of responsibility and common sense.

Adelabu has performed even worse than his predecessors. It would be a serious mistake for the people of Oyo to reward such incompetence with their votes. I have no tolerance for excuses.

🤣🤣 Tinubu children are very gullible,

So lets dissect ... What did SEYI want from
Seyi Makinde is a sitting governor So what post can Tinubu give him in 2024 that is better than being a governor
You mean Seyi will resign as governor in OYO to go carry file for Tinubu as what ... Minister, spokeman or ambassador 🤣🤣

People in APC are fond of talking without brain, The moment you withdraw supporting Tinubu they change it to because Tinubu did not give you post

Have we not seen People Tinubu gave post and later removed ... What is good about working for a govt 70% of the population don't want

Seyi is a Governor ... What can Tinubu have to offer him or is it money ?? 😃 Seyi personally sponspored his governorship not like Wike doing boy boy b4 he rise

Eyah!
What a pity?!

One of the most difficult mathematical questions in primary school was finding the perimeter and area of a T sectional object.
Who can solve this.

This is a very simple question.
Area: 19cm²
Perimeter: 23cm

This is a long and beautiful read. Thank you for your insightful contribution.

Copy and paste epistle .
Go and read MBA’s profile on Wikipedia and stop writing unverifiable stuffs

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Mba_(police_officer)

Can you see how d*ft you are? Now, I should ask you where you got the Wikipedia link from. So Frank Mba was born in 1989? So the Frank Mba of the Nigeria Police Force is from Equatorial Guinea? You are ọdẹ and oponu.

For the record, Disu joined the Police Force before Mba. Frank Mba was a Cadet Inspector in training while Tunji Disu was a Cadet ASP, in the Course 17/1992. Effectively, AIG Tunji Disu was Mba’s senior in the Force until Mba benefited from the accelerated promotions facilitated by the Federal Character principle. A clear example of this trajectory occurred in January 2019,when then-Acting IGP Mohammed Adamu appointed ACP Mba as the Force PRO to replace DCP Moshood Jimoh.

Today, Olorundare Moshood Jimoh serves as the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, while Mba (who was once a rank below him) is now a DIG. This disparity speaks volumes and clarifies the seniority dynamics between Disu and Mba. The reality remains that every rank beyond CP bears the imprint of politics! Both are fine officers. One can only hope the new sheriff will revolutionise the system, just as he did as the commander of the Lagos State Rapid Respond Squad.

thomas2024:
Let’s wait and see now. I just surf the net to see say APC don hijack opposition parties ooo. And these governors are banking on APC rigging machines. You know what I fear? ADC has not revealed any of their plan yet. They are patiently waiting for the dust to settle. Don’t underestimate the people’s voice ooo. A wise person can make calculated mistake at times.

And you think APC, particularly Tinubu has revealed all his plans and strategies? Meanwhile, what strategy does ADC have that has not been revealed? This is approximately 1 year to general elections and yet, they've not got their acts together.

OGUN 2027: Yayi vs Lemo? A storm is clearly gathering over Oke-Mosan

Not the noisy, fleeting kind, but a slow, heavy, consequential political thundercloud that carries within it history, memory, grievance, ambition and the eternal Nigerian argument between merit and justice.

On one side stands Senator Olamilekan Solomon Adeola, the irrepressible Yayi, battle-hardened, grassroots-forged, politically electric.

On the other, the urbane, boardroom-bred technocrat, Tunde Lemo, calm, cerebral, establishment-tested.

This is not merely about two men.
It is about two traditions.
Two pathways to power.
And one long-standing question Ogun State has repeatedly postponed but can no longer comfortably avoid.

Who really deserves the keys to the Oke-Mosan kingdom in 2027?

To understand the emotional voltage in this looming duel, one must take a hard look at history, not sentiment. Since the old Ogun State was created in 1976, power has moved, almost ritualistically, between Ogun Central and Ogun East.

Chief Olabisi Onabanjo (1979-1983), Ogun East, Ijebu.
Aremo Olusegun Osoba (1999-2003, 2011-2019 in effect through his political lineage and structure, though he himself governed 1999-2003 and 2011-2015 via influence), Ogun Central, Egba.
Otunba Gbenga Daniel (2003-2011), Ogun East, (Sagamu) Ijebu.
Senator Ibikunle Amosun (2011-2019), Ogun Central, Egba.
Prince Dapo Abiodun (2019 till date), Ogun East, (Iperu) Ijebu-Remo axis.

Even when one stretches back to military administrators who governed the old Western State/Ogun axis, the pattern of dominance from what is today Ogun East and Ogun Central remains striking. Names change, uniforms or agbadas change, but the geographic centres of power hardly do.

And Ogun West?
Yewa/Awori land?
Always the bridesmaid. Never the bride.
No civilian governor.
No military governor.
No accidental governor.
None.

For nearly five decades.
Yet Ogun West is not a fringe outpost. It is economically strategic, border-defining, industrially vibrant, demographically significant. From Ado-Odo/Ota’s manufacturing belt to the vast agrarian stretches of Yewa North and South, it is a pillar of the state’s revenue and labour force.
Still, when the crown is passed, it skips them.

And then comes the convenient refrain at intervals:
“After all, Egba and Egbado are the same stock.”
A soothing line, politically useful, historically contestable, and to many in Ogun West, painfully dismissive of a distinct identity and aspiration. When it suits power arithmetic, the sameness is preached. When offices are shared, the difference quietly reappears.

This is the wound Senator Yayi’s candidacy presses a firm finger upon.
Yayi is not just running as an individual; he is, whether by design or destiny, the most potent symbol yet of Ogun West’s long-deferred turn.
His political journey is anything but ornamental. Eight years in the Lagos State House of Assembly. A term in the House of Representatives. Two full terms in the Senate representing Lagos West. Now Senator for Ogun West. At every stop, he has built networks, delivered visible projects, and cultivated a reputation for tireless constituency engagement.

He is loud where others are polite.
Present where others are distant.
Organised where others are theoretical.
He has structure. Real, ward-level, vote-producing structure.
He has resources.
He has national connections and crucially, an organic mass appeal that feeds on the narrative of justice for Ogun West.

Against him rises Tunde Lemo, a different kind of colossus.
If Yayi is the consummate political field marshal, Lemo is the grandmaster strategist from the world of finance and regulation.
First Class in Accounting from UNN. Fellow of ICAN. A “bankers’ banker” in the truest sense. Arthur Andersen pedigree. Young MD/CEO of Wema Bank. Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria at a relatively youthful age.
Chairman of the Abuja Securities and Commodities Exchange Plc. Former head of FERMA. A towering presence in Nigeria’s financial and corporate ecosystem, with deep ties to major banking and fintech successes.

Where Yayi’s strength is the marketplace and the motor park, Lemo’s is the boardroom and the balance sheet.
He speaks the language of investors, regulators and global capital. To many in Ogun Central and among elite stakeholders, he represents technocratic stability, administrative discipline and the promise of running Ogun like a tightly managed enterprise.

If the election were a job interview for a chief executive, his CV would silence the room.
But elections are rarely decided only by CVs.
They are decided by stories people believe about themselves.

Yayi’s story says:
“For 50 years, you have waited. This is your time.”
Lemo’s story says:
“In uncertain times, choose proven managerial excellence.”

One is powered by historical redress.
The other by institutional reassurance.

One rides a wave of populist energy and rotational justice.
The other floats on credibility, competence and establishment comfort.
There is also the delicate arithmetic of Ogun’s internal politics.

Ogun Central can point to illustrious sons who have governed: Osoba and Amosun.
Ogun East can point to Onabanjo, Daniel and Abiodun.

Ogun West can only point to potential.
That asymmetry is not theoretical; it is visceral.
If 2027 becomes a referendum on fairness between the 3 senatorial districts, the moral pendulum swings heavily towards Ogun West and therefore towards Yayi.

If, however, the contest is successfully reframed as a choice of who can best steward Ogun through economic complexity, attract investment and impose fiscal rigour, Lemo’s technocratic aura becomes magnetic.
There is an added layer: structure versus fresh coalition.
Yayi already possesses a formidable political machine and a proven ability to win elections. He energises crowds and turns sentiment into votes.

Lemo would likely depend on an elite-driven, cross-district coalition: traditional institutions, business leaders, policy influencers and party powerbrokers rallying around the argument of merit over rotation.
Thus the coming clash is not simply Yewa versus Egba.
It is machine versus merit.
Momentum versus method.

Historic grievance versus technocratic promise.

Can Tunde Lemo blunt the emotional surge of Ogun West’s long exclusion?
Can Yayi convert regional justice into statewide consensus?
That is the crux.

If Ogun voters decide that the unwritten but observable rotation between Central and East must finally be broken in favour of West, Yayi stands at the gates of history.
If they decide that pedigree, financial expertise and cross-regional acceptability should trump zoning sentiment, Lemo becomes the establishment’s elegant answer to the Yayi phenomenon.

Either way, 2027 is shaping up not as a routine succession but as a defining moment in Ogun’s political evolution.
For the first time in decades, the state may have to choose explicitly between continuing an old pattern and consciously correcting it.
Between rewarding experience in politics and rewarding experience in governance systems.
Between the cry of “our turn at last” and the call of “the best hands for the job”.
When that choice is finally made, it will not just produce a governor.
It will write a long-overdue footnote, or a bold new chapter, in the unfinished story of Ogun West.

This entitlement mentality is the real problem. Peter Obi is not owed a presidential ticket by destiny, by Nigeria, or by any party. Tickets are earned through structure, negotiation, capacity-building, and political sacrifice, not social media noise or moral grandstanding. Politics is not a monastery; if you want power, you build for it. Expecting a ticket to be served on a platter is not idealism, it is political immaturity.

Jagaban ooo
You people will learn the hard way. Clearing the coast already in Rivers.

Tinubu's politics is a very crazy politics. I won't say more than that.

Music go change after primaries election.

The leadership of these opposition parties are so clueless. Even if it is true APC/Tinubu is the one infiltrating their parties, it shows how incompetent they are to allow such to happen. Any party who has failed to hold their party affairs, has no business in ruling or leading Nigeria.

Toor!
It is really a very sorry state

Extremely poor!!!

I live on the Arapaja axis of Ibadan, Oluyole Local Government, and the power supply here is far worse than anyone should reasonably endure. Over 60% of residents in this neighbourhood now rely on solar or inverter systems. In my own case, I had to upgrade my inverter capacity in November just to power more appliances and get longer hours of electricity.

I visited the Agbowo area today, where residents lamented that electricity used to be very reliable, something I can personally attest to. However, since around June this year, supply has deteriorated to the point of embarrassment. While electricity appears stable in a few selected areas in Ibadan, one must ask: why should access to power be selective? I have not even consumed up to fifteen thousand naira (₦15,000) worth of electricity in my fully equipped three-bedroom apartment in the entire year 2025, an indication of just how terrible the power supply has been.

If a state represented by the current Minister of Power can suffer this level of neglect, especially a state he aspires to govern, then it would be deeply misguided for the people of Oyo State to entrust such leadership with the governorship. Although I may have a soft spot for the APC, it is certainly not unconditional. God forbid that Adelabu becomes our governor.

But wait ooo!
Will the people of Rivers now vote for APC (Fubara) in 2027 because they love him? Considering how deeply they hate APC.
