ogb5: You mean With all the acclaimed political sophistication of the yorubas, you mean all they want is a vp slot?

Will the average Yoruba man vote for a boko haram sponsor just so that his tribe's man can be vp?
I don't think so, but let's wait till 2015 and see if the yorubas are as docile as the hausas and will just vote a northerner just because their leader, tinubu told them to vote for a northerner

Honadeadek:

When analysing a Political point it is always ideal we come with logical reasons and conclusion.
I am not a Fan of Tinubu or his party CAN but I will like you not to ever paint Mimiko has the missing Messaiah of the Ondo State politics because of the following reasons:
1) The Mega School he has been constructed since the beginning of his first administration, Can you tell me the total number of student in the school now? My Answer: the school is yet to be completed and without a student for the past four years.

2) The Generator powered Street light he constructed for the people of Idanre has never been on for the past six month because of a reason unknown----- Is that a dividend of democracy?

3) Merging of items under the Residual list(Opening of modern market) which is the core duty of a local government with his own duty is that the MARKET the dividend of democracy his people deserve?

4) When last did you think Local Government staffs or the Public Schools teachers(Primary School) receives last the monthly salary? This is the money they worked for whether genuinely or not but a government keeps deceiving them with E-payments.

Del Tosque said and I quote " In every democracy, the People get the Government they deserve"

Can you tell me painting the whole of Akure and neglecting the other part of the State with the labour party Colour is the dividend the people deserve?
Don't forget that the colour is not for the state and when a new gladiator comes in from a new party, all of this will be repainted and tax payer money will be wasted. Can't we have a reasonable government at all levels?

Tinubu tries his best as He fought for Mimiko as a Man, He fought for true federalism although he has his flaws which is typical of any political settings e.g most of his family members in politics but he has never being the only one: Hillary Clinton as example, Jonah Jang son as another example, Olufemi Mimiko VC of AAUA as another example.

Let's brace up and think on what we cam offer the Nation not on empty promises of all this politicians.
God Bless Nigeria

sincerenigerian: Not true! All the states in southwest that PDP had nothing to show for when they were in power are now being transformed by opposition party. If you don't give the opposition the chance to get there and govern, you have no right to characterize them as the same as PDP. You have tested PDP and you've seen how they have performed. You have not given the opposition the chance so don't condemn them. Continue with PDP if your are satisfied with what they've given you since 1999. Vote oppposition if you want change.

chukwudi44: The election trend is gonna be SS/SE/MB vs NE/NW/SW.Those bragging about the high population of lagos should take time and ponder what percentage of the populations are to be constituted by non-indigenes.

The 2015 elections would bring a lot of factors to light.

abu12:

That six MB(middle-belt) state will be shared.
Nasarawa, niger, kwara, will go to opposition because they mostly dominated by hausa, fulanis, plateau and kogi vote will be split but benue will vote GEJ

Obiagelli:
They don't care what region is in power, all they want is good leadership not the usual clueless "our son". Ever wondered why there is an igbo commissioner in Fashola cabinet and an igbo man is the spokesman for lagos ACN

babe_online:
reply to my PM please.

ogb5:
I was expecting this answer, if the yorubas don't care about the region of the president why don't they nominate fashola for example as presidential candidate for apc or any other Yoruba leader. Fashola will certainly be a more progressive choice for the country than any emergency leader they will bring up from the North.

saxywale:
it's more complicated than regional votes. e.g The MB Muslims are hardcore and I am sure they would vote in the line of their religious belief.

donroxy: APC is not Yoruba agenda but WAZOBIA (Nigeria) so, why should APC nominate Fashola as president when Yoruba is not the only domineering Ethnic in APC !!


Also, the essence of forming party is to win election and be part of government as such ; Northern candida is the satisfactory mandate for the nation in the spirit of equality !!!


Therefore, Presidency Goes NORTH in 2015 though not necessarily Buhari oooo !!!

Gbawe:

I think you misunderstand what the APC is trying to do. The fixation on the Presidency is really myopic and indicative of how many Nigerians, even very intelligent ones, miss what matters due to lack of pragmatism and because they are sentimental/sectional in outlook.

The APC has an election to win against a ruthless ruling Party that will do anything to remain in charge and has the armed forces plus virtually all the pertinent institution at its beck and call. The Party cannot and should not be attempting to tick all the boxes for every Nigerian. The Party must, for many reasons that have been documented extensively, choose the candidates that presents the best chance for deposing the PDP as things stand today. Not the candidates you and other observers, the minority by far, continue to insist on as the "best combination".

The President alone cannot deliver Nigeria. He will do it with a meritoriously selected team to control important offices. It is in this regard the PDP fails Nigeria from one President to another. Under the PDP, 100 times out of 100, Nigeria will get a David Mark as senate President rather than an individual who can lead the Senate progressively to the glory of Nigeria. This is what the APC, if it captures the centre, can do better. Considering the Party, in reality and beyond deceitfully distracting talk about Ikimi, is home to some of the best and most effective leaders in Nigeria then we can be optimistic we will, since 1999, likely get a better team than any the PDP has given us.

As one example, we are likely to see a Femi Falana as AGF rather than an Aondoakaa or Adoke-Bello type. That is the big picture. The President, at this stage for Nigeria, mainly needs to be an enabler. The team that will run the Nation will matter a lot. It is therefore very important to choose, without sentiments, the President/VP combination likely to appeal to the majority which would not include me, you and most of us on this forum.

sincerenigerian: What does Musiwa pictures and posts have to do with the topic here?

I hope the moderators know their jobs and delete this nonsense.

musiwa29: look at the roads in ondo state.
No single one was built by the federal govt of Nigeria.. it was built by ondo state govt, compare to lagos where most road were built by federal. So lagos can not say they are using their money to build road. road built by lagos state government can not compete with that of ondo state or large as ondo state. go to lagos and check. If you see any big road in lagos. it was built by the federal govt many years ago.


Dont forget that been a governor of Ondo state, you have more problem than been governor of lagos. a small place in land space. Ondo state have over 400 cities, town and villages.

I just show you akure.. just one of several cities in ondo state.
