Na CEO dey type like an agbero so?!
What manner of CEO!

Yes these are the actual words some of you understands.
He has endlessly come out to clear the air, but some of you who had little or no business idea won't still stops talking.
Is it not clear that some high profile individual sitting on the success of TSTV?
why has DSTV remained so powerful in Nigeria still?
Well, i pray the young man succeeds, and put all the enemies to shame.

BUBU and crew may probably no longer need to lose any sleep.
OBJ has succeeded in crumbling Atiku final political mission.(if you know you know)
This is a case of buying what you already have.
Atiku already has the votes from SS/SE, why picking a running mate from there even?
The West won't vote against PYO!

Its very possible you may have MONEY, but no POWER.
The both works together.
The adeleke's lacked the later.
Whoever thought APC would deliver osun to PDP just like a package may probably needs to see the doctor for a possible brain check.

Thank you High Chief Omisore.
I knew the re-run was already won.
You were only being used to bypass the hurdles.
PDP were thinking "local", while High Chief Omisore was thinking "National".
For those calling High chief omisore unprintable names; you probably don't know anything about politics.
They don't play politics on the Internet.
Everything na OFFLINE!!!

Don't waste your energy.
The stuff is a total crap.
Truat me you'll regret it.
I still have over 15gb unused data.
I don even remove the aim from phone sef

Yeh na dem way.
That was how they quoted obj with an unverified tweeter handle talking rubbish about the osun polls.

But its not their fault.
If not for the stupidity of Aregbesola who refused to pay osun workers salary, PDP won't be making noise

PDP aspirants has turned this re-run to a political jamboree and personal campaign.
What exactly are they going there for?
Next on the list is kwankwasiya

No wonder someone in my area said that omisore won the osun election.
And i ask how?
He replied saying if not; why all the politicians going to osun to congratulate him?
It sounds funny but it seems being the trend already.

But If not for the stupidity of Aregbesola all these nonsense wouldn't happened.
How can you be owing workers over a year salary and still expects the same people to vote in your government?
Who does that?

If APC loses out of this re-run Aregbesola should be held responsible.

Omisore, please don't forget the ekiti gate SAGA in a hurry o.
Play safe and you may have a safe landing o

toluxa1:
No its not network. It actually disconnects. It's only stable on 2G/Edge which is nonsense. Na trap Glo set us people. There is no way you can use it finish with the constant disconnecting.

The stuff is TOTALLY useless.
As it disconnects at will.
I still have over 15gb unused data.

PS:
This crap is valid for 7 days.
Take note.

Omisore to the rescue.

He's having a very fat bone to swallow now

The ekiti gate is waving HI at him already.

The battle for the governorship seat has been shifted to four local government areas following the rerun election fixed for Thursday September 27.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had cancelled elections in seven polling units because of technical hitches and ad hoc staff that absconded with election materials.

The 3, 498 voters that will eventually determine the winner are located in Osogbo, Orolu, Ife South and Ife North councils.

The candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Senator Iyiola Omisore and the Senator representing Ife Central, Babajide Omoworare are being seen as the candidates to determine who wins about 60 per cent of the votes from the rerun.

In Ife South where towns like Ifetedo and Garage Olode will also determine where the rerun will swing, APC won with 7,223, SDP 6,151 while had PDP 4,872.

Though Omisore is believed to have a good control of the unit where rerun will hold, votes for his party will be inconsequential.

In the only polling unit in Osogbo where 884 registered voters will participate in the rerun, APC had been winning and the party may repeat the feat.

There were speculations yesterday evening that some PDP stalwarts from outside the state were already wooing Omisore to forgive the party and support its candidate, Adeleke, in the rerun.

Omisore’s influence in Ife and environment cannot be underestimated.

Orolu local council where election will hold in 3 units is beside Ife.

But the PDP had an impressive show in the released result in Orolu leading with 7,776 votes against APC 5442, and SDP 2043.

The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yussuf Lasun, is from the community but he was trounced by the PDP in circumstances that fueled suspicion about his influence and loyalty to the APC.

"Meanwhile, a school of thought in Lagos claimed last night that the present crisis may not be directed at derailing the governor’s second term ambition but merely to whip him in line"

To Ambode, Stop misbehaving if you have been doing so.
Stop playing games with your political FATHERS.
Its not very nice.

Tinubu.
I want to believe that you actually want to whip him in line.
But let it not turn to discipline o.

ON SEPTEMBER 12, 20183:19 AM

By Emmanuel Aziken, Dapo Akinrefon, Charles Kumolu, Olasunkanmi Akoni, Ebun Sessou & Monsur Olowoopejo
LAGOS — LAGOS and indeed, much of the entire South-West was on tenterhooks yesterday as political permutations against a second term for Governor Akinwunmi Ambode reached a crescendo with the unravelling of the governor’s political base.

Worse, the governor’s prospects of serving out the rest of his first term, it was learnt, was hanging in the balance upon claims of momentum to remove him from office if he does not drop his second term aspiration.

The governor’s support base which had been built around Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu unravelled after it emerged that a major contender for his office had emerged from one of the major political structures in the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC in the state, the Mandate Group.

The Mandate Group, Vanguard gathered, is presenting Mr. Jide Sanwo-Olu, incumbent Managing Director of Lagos State Property Development Corporation, LSDPC.

Ambode’s prospects outside the APC were also not being helped with the emergence of billionaire Mr. Femi Otedola as an aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Otedola who is vacationing in Paris, it was learnt, has, however, vowed not to contest against Ambode.

Succession crises

In the face of the unfolding battle, many stakeholders spoke in hushed tones yesterday on the crisis of a second term that has shadowed successive successors of the political leader of the state, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Political sources in the state yesterday said that after challenges that Tinubu got from Fashola, it was unlikely that Hamzat, one of Fashola’s options as a successor could get Tinubu’s support.

That means that the momentum was gravitating towards Sanwo-Olu who ironically served as a commissioner in the Fashola government.

57 LG/LCDA chiefs desert Ambode

It was learnt yesterday that the chairmen of the 57 local government councils and development areas in the state had in a show of force endorsed Sanwo-Olu’s forms.

“That was meant to send a message to Ambode,” a political chieftain told Vanguard yesterday.

Impeachment rumours

Ambode’s options were last night being narrowed as reports of an impeachment plot started swirling around political meetings around Lagos House and the State House of Assembly.

The governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Habib Haruna, however, dismissed the reports of impeachment simply saying “it is not true.”

It was also learnt that emissaries sent by Ambode to Tinubu had been shut out, making the resolution of the Ambode crisis difficult.

The situation left many political stakeholders in the lurch, with many saying that they were confused.

This was mainly caused by the fact that Tinubu as at last night had not made a pronouncement. However, the body language of the national leader was reflected by the fact that many of his trusted aides were said to have gravitated towards Sanwo-Olu.

One source said: “It is difficult to say anything right now really but it is true that some people have collected forms for Jide Sanwo-Olu and if he has collected the forms, it means he has the blessing of Asiwaju. He would not have collected the forms without Asiwaju’s blessing.”

Makings of the crisis

It was leant that though efforts were being made for reconciliation, it was gathered that the face-off worsened seriously on Monday after Ambode went to Abuja to collect the APC governorship form.

He was said to have obtained the form without a full reconciliation with Tinubu.

After collecting the form, Ambode proceeded to make a public declaration at the Old Task Force Ground, Alausa, Ikeja, without the obvious presence of chieftains and leaders of the party.

The fact that the declaration was not done at the party headquarters at Acme Road, Ogba, in Lagos sent negative signals as to the possibility of his estrangement from the Tinubu mainstream in his re-election bid, a source said.

Few of the local government chairmen who attended the declaration left midway and some even left before the ceremony started at 4.00 p.m. on Monday.

Before the declaration ceremony, chairman of the Lagos State chapter of the APC, Babatunde Balogun had held a closed-door meeting with all the 57 local government chairmen at the party’s Acme Road office before they later dispersed and shunned the governor’s declaration ceremony.

Vanguard reliably learnt that the party members were currently confused and are awaiting the declaration from the National Leader of the party.

Ambode weighing options

Ambode yesterday summoned a closed-door meeting of some of his top associates at Lagos House, Alausa, Ikeja, in order to weigh the options for the governor. The outcome of the meeting could not be deciphered as at press time yesterday.

Though the crux of the meeting was unknown, it was gathered that the governor was open to all options, including dumping the party for another or walking away to wait for another opportunity from the party.

The governor’s capacity to fight back within the party or outside, it emerged, had been limited by his strained relationship with the Lagos State House of Assembly.

There were reports from within the House that the governor had instigated a plot to remove the speaker of the House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, a strong Tinubu loyalist. That plot quickly unravelled.

It was also learnt yesterday that a sizeable proportion of the members of the State House of Assembly attended a meeting at the party secretariat to discuss the development. One of the sources, who spoke under anonymity with Vanguard, said the lawmakers have resolved to commence impeachment moves against Ambode as soon as they resume from the recess.

A member of the State House of Assembly estranged from the Tinubu mainstream who spoke on the condition of anonymity said yesterday:

“It could be rumour, but the source I heard it from was an indication that it is nothing far from the truth.

“Although, it was debunked, but the people I heard it from were those I believed knew what they were saying. The people I spoke with gave it a possibility that, it is real.

Asked, where the impeachment move is coming from, he said, “Unfortunately, it is coming from both the Lagos State House of Assembly and all the LCDAs.

According to another source, all the chairmen of APC in 20 LGAs and 37 LCDAs have signed the nomination form of Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu as an alternative choice.

Genesis of trouble for Ambode

Ambode’s troubles with the political establishment in Lagos had for long been reported in political circles in the state.

A South-West governor close to Tinubu was said to have been at the forefront of the agitation to stop Ambode’s second term ambition.

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo; Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, and Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, it was claimed had prevailed on the APC leader to support Ambode’s re-election plan.

At the centre of the allegations against Ambode was that the governor alienated the political mainstream in the state. Some others described the governor as heady with a capacity to decapitate Tinubu and his associates should he get a second term.

The issue of the PSP operators in the disposal of refuse was said to have been very touchy for the political elite, many of whom were entrenched in the PSP scheme as a way of servicing the political base.

Ambode, however, dismantled the scheme without as much appreciation of their role. Even worse for the governor was the fact that the alternative arrangement made to replace the PSP operators have not done a good work, leading to mounting heaps refuse in the commercial capital of the country.

Party stalwarts had also complained that traditional acts of patronage that normally came the way of government did not come from Ambode.

However, Ambode it was claimed, decided not to patronise the political leaders on the premise that he had left politicking for Tinubu while he concentrated on the act of governance.

Rude shock

The face-off between Ambode and Tinubu came to the fore recently at a stakeholders’ meeting at the party’s secretariat, at Acme Road, Ogba, Lagos where Tinubu throughout the meeting failed to raise the hands or endorse a second term for Ambode which was a rude shock to members in attendance.

Vanguard gathered that various support groups which had been created for Ambode’s re-election campaign had for some time been put on hold, pending final clearance from Tinubu.

Failed efforts

On different occasions, recently, some APC chieftains (names withheld) have confirmed that a number of political leaders and traditional rulers had impressed it on Tinubu not “to listen to those inciting him against Ambode.”

One of the chieftains who confided in Vanguard at the weekend, simply stated, “Ambode is at a crossroads” because all his supporters have backed off as all efforts to resolve the difference met a brick wall with Tinubu who insisted on a fresh candidate (kept to his heart) for the job.

Oba Akiolu was said to have tried to convince Tinubu to change his mind, but all proved abortive.

According to the chieftain, “It is only Tinubu and Ambode that can resolve the issues, not even President Muhammed Buhari. The issue is like that of a married couple having a family grudge. No third party can really know the source of their fight let alone resolve it. The two, Tinubu and Ambode, must have a closed-door meeting without a third party to settle this current imbroglio. This is not about loyalty, it’s fundamental.”

APC keeps mum

However, it was learnt that members of the State Executive Council have been jittery over the development, not knowing where the pendulum will swing in the 2019 governorship ticket. Those with political aspirations were said to be worst hit as they could be shown the way out at any moment. Most of them have started making moves, meeting the party leadership and stakeholders for an endorsement from Tinubu and other decision-makers.

One of the aspirants who spoke to Vanguard on the basis of anonymity said: “The decision of the party to adopt direct primaries has caused panic in the fold of the aspirants in Lagos. We are left in the dark, and that is why some aspirants have put on hold their ambition and begun moves to get Tinubu’s endorsement.”

Risky development

Tinubu’s associates were last night not very comfortable with the development, fearing that the national leader could be taking a very big risk if he decides to dump Ambode.

“The situation is not very bright for any side because as at this time, Asiwaju is already grappling with forces in Abuja and to compound it with additional enemies from home is not something we are very pleased to talk about,” an associate of the national leader of the APC said.

Meanwhile, a school of thought in Lagos claimed last night that the present crisis may not be directed at derailing the governor’s second term ambition but merely to whip him in line.

Otedola enters PDP’s calculations

Meanwhile, it emerged that oil magnate, Mr Femi Otedola has emerged as a possible frontrunner in the PDP as a candidate for the party.

However, sources said that Otedola’s bid could be a fightback by the Ambode camp who could project him to fight whosoever could emerge from Tinubu’s camp.

According to sources, the billionaire businessman had maintained that he would not run for the governorship against Ambode.

When Otedola, who is currently on vacation in Paris, was reached for comment on the development, he responded thus: “I am on vacation.”

However, a source told Vanguard: “Just like the current governor, Otedola is from Epe. The thinking and good news now are that if the APC ticket goes to Ambode, the governor will still be from Epe. On the other hand, if Ambode does not get the ticket and Otedola runs for governor and wins, the governor would still have come from Epe.

When contacted, spokesman of Lagos State chapter of PDP, Mr. Ganiyu Taofeek said the PDP is not aware, adding that having him in the party would be a good development..

September 3, 2018 Cletus Ukpong

A former deputy governor of Akwa Ibom State, Valerie Ebe, has said that she doesn’t know if she was still a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) or not.

There have been speculations that Mrs Ebe has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

When PREMIUM TIMES asked her on Sunday evening if she has defected as speculated, the former deputy governor said, “I don’t know yet. I am in my house. When I leave, you will hear”.

Mrs Ebe is from Mkpat Enin Local Government Area which is in the same federal constituency with Ikot Abasi Local Government Area where the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Nsima Ekere, comes from.

Mr Ekere, an APC member, has been tipped as a possible candidate of the party for the 2019 governorship election in the state.


Interestingly, Mrs Ebe was appointed deputy governor in November 2012 by the then governor, Godswill Akpabio, after the then occupant of the office, Mr Ekere, resigned from office to beat his planned impeachment by the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly.

The impeachment plan was said to have been masterminded by the then governor, Mr Akpabio.

Mr Akpabio, a senator representing Akwa Ibom North West District, defected from the PDP to the APC on August 8.
