Stop spewing ignorance on a public forum! Pdp having lots of votes in the osun election wasn't as a result of Leadership at the Federal level but as a result of leadership at the state level, where Aregbe owed salaries for months! Even if d federal level had an excellent leadership, with an aregbe at the state level.. a lot of people would still have voted against Aregbe!

What do you have to say about Ekiti election!

In 2011 Jonathan won Lagos but PDP lost Lagos at the governorship polls
am from osun state, give me a reason why I should vote Apc or buhari...
Apc may likely loose in osun state and that is the truth

in presidential poll too, pdp will have our votes. no federal government projects in osun state. up till today, osogbo to iwo to ibadan road have not been done. so so bad.
don't mind them..the election is as much as a referendum on Buhari as it is on aregbe
in a free and fair election,Apc will loose osun state and loose flatly too.

The marginalisation and humiliation SW surfered under GEJ would be a child play to the one awaiting us if PDP returns to power without addressing the current relegation of yorubas in the party .

They are talking about restructuring as if it's that easy.

Isn't Atiku from the fulani tribe that is benefiting most from the current status? Time will tell who is selling SW cheap between afenifere and Tinubu.
even without afenifere or whatever..q right thinking Yoruba person won't vote a failure in Buhari..
anything apart from mumudu is good for me

wideawaken01:
The Pan Yoruba Group, Afenifere, has reacted to the emergence of Peter Obi as the running mate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has pleaded with Atiku and Obi to remain steadfast in its restructuring message.


The National Publicity Secretary of the Afenifere, Mr Yinka Odumakin said: “All we concerned about at this stage is there were commitments by Atiku about the restructuring of Nigeria.


“If it is true that he has picked Peter Obi as his running mate, he should join him to work out clear cut programme on restructuring and ensure that he remains steadfast on that because that is the main issue that will determine the next election.”


The group had earlier found a way to reconnect Atiku with his former boss, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. Atiku was Obasanjo’s vice president for 8 years while the latter presided over the country between 1999-2007. The visit to Obasanjo was the first time the former president would meet with his former deputy since the latter emerged as presidential candidate of the PDP. Though Obasanjo had in the past vowed not to ever support Atiku’s long nurtured presidential aspiration, the former president has unbent upon his even more harsh assessment of the incumbent president, Muhammadu Buhari.


Meanwhile, before the announcement of Peter Obi, the national chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, recently met with Atiku alongside other party leaders to determine a running mate for the 2019 presidential candidate in a bid to appease the Igbo people.


The PDP presidential candidate, Atiku received a heavyweight endorsement on Thursday as his former boss and adversary, former president Olusegun Obasanjo, bowed to pressure from the Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, and blessed Atiku’s presidential aspiration.


Obasanjo, during a reconciliatory meeting in Abeokuta, brokered by the Afenifere, said he had forgiven Atiku and stated that given his personal knowledge of him, he had better capacity to perform better than the incumbent, President Muhammadu Buhari.


The meeting was witnessed by the Catholic Archbishop of Sokoto Dioceses, Bishop Matthew Kukah; Founder of Living Faith Church, Pastor David Oyedepo; a leading Moslem cleric, Sheik Ibrahim Gumi; and Afenifere leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, among others. The endorsement, which immediately drew the reactions of the presidency and the Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organisation that dismissed it as a distraction and non-event, appears to be reshaping the battle for the presidency in 2019 as it indicates the realignment of political and religious forces in the country.


The involvement of the religious leaders, Daily Advent learnt yesterday might indicate the direction the two leading religions and their dominant denominations are looking. With Bishop Kukah of the Catholic, Oyedepo from the Pentecostal flank and Gumi, a [b][/b]Moslem cleric who had been politically vocal, in the mix, the paper’s analysts suggest there might be a coalition against the re-election of Buhari, whose reign had been mired in massive killings both faiths’ faithful by gunmen largely suspected to be Fulani herdsmen.


The political forces, Daily Advent also learnt are gathering behind Atiku against Buhari, largely because they see his three and a half years in the saddle as the most divisive of the nation in its 58 years of independence, fearing that another four years for him might push the country over the precipice.


Atiku’s endorsement by Obasanjo, according to sources close to the emerging coalition of forces, is said to be the outcome several months of pressure on the former president to drop his opposition to his former deputy, who many of the political leaders estimate is the most viable politician that could unseat Buhari.


Daily Advent learnt further the club of retired military generals, including Ibrahim Babangida, Muhammed Gusau and Abdulsalami Abubakar had been working on Obasanjo to shift position on Atiku, telling him that unless he did, Buhari’s chances of returning to office would remain bright given the deep division in the opposition parties.

Smart people.
Hold atiku by the jugular with regard to his promises regarding restructuring. That is what matters.

That is how you know progressive people.

Honestly, afenifere and other progressively minded yorubas are the only reason why I am holding back on the kind of words I say with regards the Yoruba people.
It would tantamount to tarring all of them with the same brush.

If I were to look at the behaviour of buhari worshipping yorubas on nairaland, I would have been much more acidic.

I still think Atiku made the wrong decision. Although yes obi is good in economy and probably aid in getting Nigeria out of this damage the lifeless one put it, he should have chosen iweala. She had the strength of two zones. She represented both SS and SE and have international strength. Anyway, I still support Atiku and now obi. Anyone to remove the lifeless one is welcome

1.South east and South South are always on same page with or without OKONJO

2.PETER OBI also has international connection.

. the only thing that would have made a difference in chosing OKONJO is massive support from women .

These are the great Yoruba people that make me regret ever condemning the great Yoruba tribe.

But when u follow all these hungry efuluefu Yoruba agberos worshipping Tinubu and Buhari from various motor parks, u just feel like using a nuclear bomb to wipe them out once for all so humanity can have peace.

I am sorry for attacking my Yoruba friends, anyway, its all for online fun most times, Yorubas remain my closest pals in real life, except the blind supporters of impunity and nepotism under Buhari, they can never be forgiven angry

If Atiku wins, I want to see Fayose, FFK, Gbenga Daniels (OGD) and other great Yoruba elites pioneering the government to unity and inclusive progress.

We must help Hausa-Fulani people get sense and learn to love other tribes and learn to live peacefully with their host communities through modern way of rearing cattle and doing business.

All Nigerians must be carried along, then we will banish all BMC and Buhari loyalists from Nigeria so they won't use the huge trillions they stole now to cause mayhem in Nigeria.

We will work with Osibanjo after Papa Oyededo carry out an all night deliverance on him smiley

Has Tinubu renounce his Afenifere membership? Everybody fighting for what will benefit them individually. If you don't believe this, ask Al-Mustapha how the Afenifere later bowed to Abacha to take cash in exchange of their brother's mandate.

Quick questions: WHAT HAS ATIKU DONE FOR NIGERIA? He is a very wealthy man with rich political history, has he built non-profit schools? Public hospitals? Does he have a manifesto/plan? These questions and more are what reasonable citizens ask of any political candidate but instead we have the usual ignorance of social media addicts!

The past 3 years we've been reading here how Yoruba are slaves to the North but can someone remind me again, who is Atiku? Where does he come from? Hahaha...I guess the word slavery only applies to Yorubas.....SHAME!

what happen to jimi will happen to Atiku, he was already gaining popularity not until he started bringing Igbo to his manifestoes, Yoruba parapo show him way out and the result gave birth to that ingrate fat Albert. North seems to have similar ideology with West that's why their political relationship is not gonna end soon

Tinubu confined Afenifere to the dusbin of history. Tinubu backed candidates defeated Afenifere and Obasanjo backed candidates in Lagos, Ogun, Osun, Ekiti, Oyo. Even a local government election, Afenifere and Obasanjo cannot win.

Obasanjo ruled 8 YEARS (WEST)
Yar'Aduwa ruled 3 years and 3 months (FULANI) NORTH
Jonathan ruled 4 years and 9 months (SOUTH)
Buhari ruling to 4 years (FULANI) NORTH

NOW Atiku wants 8 years (FULANI) NORTH

THAT WILL GIVE THE NORTH a total of 15 years and 3months of our new democracy

While other regions are waiting... And YORUBA will have to wait longer before returning to power!

BETTER LET BUHARI FINISH another 4 years and leave.
Then the north would have ruled only 11 years (which is still more than any other region!)
Let other regions rule for the next 24 years straight from 2023-2047 and that will change Nigeria for better distributed growth

LET'S BE WISE...fulani herdsmen are killing our people and you want give one of them another 8 years?

so you prefer a tinubu that only bows to what what ever Buhari dictate even at the detriment of his region..remember the ife crisis..he was mute and could not say anything along side with other youruba chieftains in the APC..when only the Yorubas were arrested including an oba. only the AFENIFERES' spoked against the bais arrest..What about the headmen killing across the states and even some part of the south west..he also kept mute and choose to turn his head the other way, because he has to remain loyal to Buhari..Now he is supporting for headmen to be alloted free land in the south west so that his master will be please, at the detriment of his region and people..yet only the AFENIFERES are ticking against it..hate them or not your master Tinubu is worse than them in terms of corruption and he is even worse off as a leader because he can easily sell the whole of southwest to the fulanis over a pot of portage just for his political ambition...so oga tell us somethings else that we dont know

say dat thing in ur mind and stop using flimsy points to talk from both mouth.

the only reason u want buhari to continue is because of osibanjo and not this poo u spewed here

Buhari dat u r trying to reelect, is he not as the same tribe as Atiku or isn't in his administration that people are being killed on daily basis??

Atiku believes in restructuring the country which is NIGERIA'S biggest challenge to progress and buhari is against it, so if osibanjo in all his legal and learned title of his profession and who is supposed to know better about the benefits of restructuring could not convince his boss to allow it since d past 3yrs, then he is not representing the voice of his people who believe strongly in restructuring, therefore he should go and rest, let's try another person who is promising restructuring irrespective of years of his stay in power as what matters is good governance. thank u but always b frank with ur thoughts as a lot of people who could discern outside the box of speech will always see ur mind whether or not it comes through the mouth.

almarthins:


2019 is almost upon us. I shake my head for most of the people who think atiku will restructure Nigeria. They have forgotten that he benefited from the lopsided system which brought many northerners to the corridors of power. The man is from the north but he has oil wells in the south more than the owners of the oil. Hypocrisy still remain the bane of this country, a leopard never changes his skin.

The question I keep asking is why would people lie about atiku having more businesses than dangote?

People had quickly forgotten his past but I have nt.
There is so much lies used in selling atiku today - people have decided to put a stale wine in a new bottle. They forgotten how he was moving like a slot from one party to another- only a man without principle would behave like a chameleon.

They even go as far as lying that he has 30-50 thousand employee yet nothing to support this claim. Most of you never ask questions, you just fall in line and accept every lies hook, line and sinker.

Now tell me who is the zombie?


Honestly @times i wonder who the true zombies are if not the wailing wailers ... they stand for nothing hence why they fall for anything thrown in there direction ...
They started with fayose as man of the people, the messiah,some even handpick dino, suddenly they all switch to saraki as hero of democracy but what surprises me most is these there over the night remembrance of atiku,, they think jumping from fry pan to fire is an alternative .... if eye dey cry eye still sees
