Kwankwanso is the name of his hometown in Kano State. In 1992, he was a member of House of Representatives but when he started Statewide politics, he like many other politicians that are not from Noble families need to stress the names of their town as an identity. In Yoruba land, however your family backgrounds is far more important than your town's identity, that's why some people from reputable/Noble families add their family names to their surnames to gain grassroot acceptability e.g Ex-Gov Adebayo Alao-Akala who added his family name ,AKALA to his surname in 1997 when he joined Politics. He reminded his constituents that he is a descendant of the great AKALA, an illustrious citizen of Ogbomosho of old, admired by the town's people for patriotic contributions to the town. Even in Kano, descendants of Bayero or Audu Bako like to add their family names to their surnames for recognition and acceptability. Twy:
Why is his name Kwankwaso. In 1992, he was Rabiu Musa. 4 Likes |

Their fixation on the demystification of Tinubu is NOT borne out of altruistic desires for any good governance but the need to see the downfall of Tinubu. RockHard:
Hypocrites. So now Lagosians are supposed to learn from Kano people because Kwankwaso's handpicked candidate/godson (who also happens to be his son inlaw) is winning kano? Una dey condemn Tinubu in Lagos while praising Kwankwaso who handpicked his son-in-law in Kano to replace Ganduje his former protege -- same thing Rochas Okorocha was condemned for. I am sure these hypocrites would have also praised Saraki if he had won. This Igbo obsession with Lagos and Tinubu matter is really something. Tufiakwa. 9 Likes 1 Share |

If you say it's raining outside, they will shout Tinubu, say the sky is blue, they will shout Tinubu, Tinubu is the beginning and end of their existence and the reason why their towns and villages are backward and unproductive, he's even the reason why they must leave their villages and head to Lagos for survival. I don't even get the fascination with the man, he's not a public official and he left public office decades ago.
Funny enough, you can not deny him anything or stop him from doing anything because he's a private citizen, he's not running for office so you can not stop him or do anything to him. O to ge stopped Saraki in Kwara because Saraki is a public official running for another term in office so you can deny him that opportunity be not voting for him, but Tinubu is not running for anything so you can not stop him and you can not ban him from politics, from political association and supporting political candidates because according to the Nigerian constitution, he's free to associate with any political party, groups and associations.
Instead of facing and campaigning against Sanwo Olu, they wasted their time and energy on Tinubu who is not running for anything.
And to make matters worse, they injected tribalism with ibo votes which Yoruba APC and PDP united together joined forces to reject overwhenmingly 6 Likes |

How then is Kwankwasiyya different from Jagabanism that we should then celebrate one who wants to continue controlling Kano, but condemn same in Lagos?
Or is Kwankwaso not a single man like Tinubu and with a political thumb over Kano state as governor in 1999, just like Tinubu as governor in Lagos in same 1999?
Yet a clown is saying the Kano "illiterates" are rejecting godfatherism? Is it by embracing a Kwankwaso/Kwankwasiyya who is the godfather of Ganduje who wants to be free from his control? Is it by voting as Governor, the son in law of Kwankwaso who was forced on the PDP?

I think you lot don't reason before you come online to critic Tinubu. Majority of the opposition politicians in Lagos are lazy. Very lazy I repeat. Election isn't about taking out godfathers, it is about selling your agenda to the people.
Jimi hid for 4yrs. He didn't show up when Lagosians were fed up with the misdeeds of Ambode. He didn't engage the electorate for 4yrs, then he will now come out and be claiming he wants to free lagos from a godfather. He was addressing Lagosians from the comfort of his parlour and on social media. Is that not laziness?
On the other hand, Jide was all over the place, selling his candidacy to the vulcanizer, hairdressers, artists, road sweepers, etc. And you expect that man to fail. He didn't depend on the political structure of APC in Lagos only. He went far and wide to reach all Lagosians in 6 months. That is hard work. He didn't take anything for granted.
Majority of Jimi supporters on twitter are not voters in Lagos. After 12 yrs of defeat, is it not right to to have re-strategized? In 2015, rather than do hard work, he depended on Abuja forces and introduced ethnic politics. That's sheer laziness.
The same Tinubu that you guys criticise is always encouraging his party members to work hard and earn every support they get. Tinubu that you claim is a godfather ignored the loyalty of Ambode and listened to his party members from the grassroot when they said they don't want Ambode anymore. He gave in to their request because he knows that the leadership he enjoys in Lagos is as a result of the workings of the political structure in the grassroots. That is the difference between Tinubu and Saraki. Saraki lost the grassroot but Tinubu empowers his grassroot political structure.
And you now think #Otoge can work in Lagos or Kano will teach Lagos a lesson. Until opposition gets to work hard for four years to put political structure and ideology on ground that is far better and rewarding than what APC has put on ground, they cannot win Lagos. It is not lack of progress in Lagos or political stupidity on the part of Lagosians but the laziness on the part of opposition. You cannot take Lagos by propaganda from the comfort of your home but by real mobilization and engagement at the grassroots beyond election period.
My honest advice to Lagos PDP is that they should immediately employ a political strategist, that will provide an engagement and ideological roadmap for them to implement in the next 4 years if they are serious!
Simple as that! Thanks. U completely say my mind. |

Most of the comments have as usual missed the point. The screenshot talks about how the so-called illiterates in both the presidential and state elections went out en masse and voted the candidate of their choice.
They did not see the need to go about attacking those who they felt voted differently from what was expected unlike in Lagos where people turned on their neighbours simply because one man ordered them to

Tinubu has something which most people dont understand that is why he will always excel
1. He is a grassroot man. He might be rich but he never forgets his poor people like Vulcanisers, market women, conductors etc. who are always loyal to him.
WHen tinubu was governor we used to hear of how he goes to Island to his root to hang out with boys even smoke weed with them. But other politicians will get to power and only stick to VGC and Ikoyi
Elections are not won by elites in VGC rather by artisans in Iyana-Ipaja
Fashola spent 8yrs as governor, Ambode spent 4, How many times did they go to all these lowly people. At a time Fashola was tagged governor of Lagos Island since they dont feel his effect in low places. That is why none of them can win their ward if Tinubu goes against them.
Tinubu always reminds his followers never to forget the grassroot because they will determine your fate. All those who forgot the grassroot always suffer No one is criticizing the support for Tinubu or the support for a candidate of his choice. The criticism is against violence against a particular ethnic group under the orders of a fellow man simply because of their support for another candidateThis does not show enlightenment or education |

Lagos elections: The PDP, Lagos chapter need to go back to the drawing board and do a thorough soul searching. They urgently need to discard the strategy of appealing to the emotions of non-Yorubas as a mean of gaining political power because such divisive strategies not only end up pitching the non-indigenes against their host communities, it's bound to be counterproductive. deomelo:

Simple as that! To my mind, thePDP in Lagos cannot reinvent the wheel. From 1999 to date , there is trajectory of performance that is evident , persistent drive to perform, by Tinubu and his successors. They could do better of course.

The right thing to do, is just what APC is doing, Finally, APC should not rest on their oars as the circumstances surrounding the Ambode saga shows that there is danger ahead. 1 Like |
