I found this write up interesting and felt i should share it with my fellow brothers and sisters.

[b][/b]
[b]It is general knowledge that the most recent former minister of state for defence is interested in Lagos state gubernatorial election. However he has received a barrage of attacks from the opposition and within his own party, the PDP.
APC’s Fear
As the main opposition party in Nigeria and the ruling party in Lagos since the inception of democracy. One will expect a form of leisurely complacency creeping in. However, the opposite has been the case. They have worked tediously to downplay the candidacy of the former senator and play up his competitor within the PDP, Mr Jimi Agbaje. Why is this so? Can your enemy wish you to beat him in a competition? Certainly not! This makes one suspicious of Mr Agbaje’s last minute defection and his inner intentions for the Lagos state PDP.
Within PDP
Mr Ogunlewe and Chief Bode George, elders within PDP have started an open frontal campaign against the said man. You must be asking, “Why? After all, they are from the same party?” The issue of god-fatherism must be revisited.
The fear of a man who is loyal to the delegates and electorates rather than a god-father strikes fear to many hearts. Chief Bode George is scared of a man who can stand on his own and makes his own decisions, hence Agbaje was secretly taken to President Jonathan for approval with the intent that all other aspirants will back down. However, that has back fired as the president refused to anoint Agbaje that joined the party barely four months ago.
With the fear of losing the invincibility clout in the eyes of his god-son, Chief Bode George launched series of attacks on Sen Obanikoro. As an elder state’s man, why does Chief George show preference for a particular candidate who just came to the party rather than long standing members who funded the party in its times of need?
What is the common factor?
What they both have in common is fear! Fear of a man who has the “balls” to challenge Mr Tinubu and the APC. The fear of a man who has the “liver” to refuse god-fatherism and whatever it stands for, by some old men who have little or no relevance politically.
I have never voted before and I am sure a sizable number haven’t but I am determined to be part of the POSITIVE change in Lagos state this time around. I am ready to use my vote as a weapon to remove the Lagos “slave master” and end god-fatherism once and for all in my state. The only determined candidate that can assist me to achieve this objective this is Senator Musiliu Olatunde Ishola Obanikoro. He has my vote if he wins the primaries. Once he is confirmed as the Lagos State PDP gubernatorial candidate, I shall work hard to generate between 500,000 to 1,000,000 votes from virgin voters like me for him and his party PDP.[/b]

We say no to Godfatherism

Both PDP and APC godfathers can go and die

Koro is my man

Kosi koro kosi ibo

OP format your article properly

Preacherman1, nice writeup. Well following the political landscape in Lagos, only a rugged man can face Tinubu. My question is, is Agbaje rugged enough to face APC Lagos?

OBANIKORO TO END JAGABAN'S ERA!

Jide spoke my mind and the minds of millions of Lagosians. The fact is that Bode George being used by Ogunlewe,both are afraid of OBANIKORO, a man who have a mind of his own and who can stand alone. But Lagosians are tired of SLAVEMASTERS and we shall resist them by voting overwhelmingly for Obanikoro once he pick the PDP Gubernatorial ticket. Barrister Kole Oyedele

As for me, I am tried of two things:

1) God-fatherism
2) Tinubu's over-bearing influence

Let PDP bring Koro jare
