Kobojunkie: True. If it's discrimination, so be it. We, the ACN of all ACN, do not want Bank-of-Ole in our midst. ah ahn, shey by force ni. A question to you: How does changing party process go? Do they just get accepted or do they go in without any entrance force? |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Plans To Joint The ACN Party. by Kobojunkie: 4:07am On Dec 25, 2010 |
You are best asking Orji in Abia State who successfully moved over to APGA, and I believe he moved back again in no time. ROFLMAO!! Not certain how it is done in Nigeria but I doubt their record really counts for much judging by the way these people move from one to the other with no care at all. I mean if there was some serious vetting system in place, I doubt many of these politicians will be able to move around as freely as they continue to. |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Plans To Joint The ACN Party. by Nobody: 4:49am On Dec 25, 2010 |
Kobojunkie: I thought you of all people would know [and I meant that sincerely ]. I really dont get the point of switching fro one party to another. . . .it gets nothing done either way. Or does the salary differ from each party? |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Plans To Joint The ACN Party. by Kobojunkie: 4:54am On Dec 25, 2010 |
Ileke-IdI: What we see happening today is nothing new . . . . this is election tactic that has been going on in Nigeria for a while now and it is time we learn that these people switching parties willy nilly are doing it mostly for selfish reasons. These politicians understand that they need to align themselves with the winning team in order to maintain/remain in power. And so, with the PDP Quagmire, it makes sense that the lower end members will find their way to any other party that can help guarantee them a seat come next election. Even mere officers are doing the same. . . they are out in the thousands trying to make for themselves friends who will help them back in next election. Why do you think ACN is even opening up to Buhari? It is probably cause they have come to realize that the Ribadu fad is probably not going to take them all the way come April. I think the main question we ought to be asking and maybe concern ourselves more with is what is in this for the Nigerian people? Like I have said before, it doesn't behoove us to cast our vote for any one party at this time. It appears we will be better off voting INDIVIDUALS who at least have proven records, then when we mature a bit more, we can then vote parties. |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Plans To Joint The ACN Party. by Nobody: 5:10am On Dec 25, 2010 |
Kobojunkie: Your thoughts coincided with mines. However, I'd also like to know if the salary varies from party to party. |

ACN never allign themselves with rogue politicians. the likes of bankola should not be accepted into the party for the sake of them keeping their integrity and standing for what they are known for which is outstanding excellence and performance. all what these guys are doing in just purely for selfish reasons as they want to wiin at all cost. jst merely reading the article the reasons they are giving for decamping is just for them to be able to contest and win. |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Plans To Joint The ACN Party. by Gbawe: 1:50pm On Dec 25, 2010 |
axeman85: It may actually be more about emasculating the PDP than anything else. As far as I know, and I stand to be correctd , if Bankole and 70 PDP lawmakers decamp to the ACN they will become ACN lawmakers. If the ACN is to grow into an influential Party it needs numbers where it matters. Akunyili and Bankole may just be a small number of those moving away from a sinking ship . The word is that Bankole feels he cannot win under GEJ with how Mr. President is willing to back OGD all the way and against anyone. http://www.leadershipeditors.com/ns/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=21952:2011-pdp-to-lose-more-heavyweights&catid=51:cover-stories&Itemid=101

we do not have principles-based politicians anymore, whether they are progressive, conservatives, mainstream, sidestream etc. what we have is a single party system of AGIP - any government in power. how do we change things? by getting MORE involved: Chase the Hooligans-in-Power (HiPs) out and vote in better candidates. Remember to RSVP - Register; Select and sponsor(your candidates); Vote; Protect your votes; Let this be our motto for this election period. Copy and text the motto to as many as possible on your GSM (and/or email) and several times during the voter registration period. One Man, One Vote!!! |

If this news is true, the end of PDP is near. PDP = Failure. |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Plans To Joint The ACN Party. by juman(m): 2:49pm On Dec 25, 2010 |
ACN leaders should be careful, may be these people are sent by OBJ to be elected on the platform of ACN and change back to PDP. They may be sent to disorganise ACN. PDP politicians are not trustworthy. |

juman: The entire world is now savvy about the modus operandi of OBJ - the originator of "do-or-die" politics and "operation totality" . The SW region generally wants to see the back of retrogressive politicians and I predicted , ages ago on this forum, what we are now seeing today . OBJ is finished . Non of his crude machinations of yester years will work today . Folks are on to him. He will not get a chance to mess us up again and he will never get a chance to redeem his odious image. Bankole , if he moves to the ACN , is simply doing what he must to survive. The hatred between Bankole and OGD is real . Leave both in a room and only one will emerge alive. They have nearly come to blows several times . If Bankole himself is not a powerful man with good protection , OGD would have 'dealth' with him. Those who know OGD and what he is capable of will know what I mean. I think the PDP will fight tooth and nail to prevent Bankole defecting but the more I think about it the more I conclude that Bankole is left with no option. OGD and OBJ are essentially the same . They hate enduringly and their l.ust for vengeance never diminishes with time. Bankole will be aware that he is finished without powerful public office. With OGD enjoying the highly biased support of desperate GEJ , Bankole may have no option but to make this move for reasons of surviving persecution against a deadly foe. Bankole will be aware that OGD , at this point in time , will get anything he wants from GEJ. Bankole would be a fool to wait around while his biggest enemy has the total support and backing of the Presidency. |

Ogun State would be lucky to have Dimeji has Governor, but nah, don't think Dimeji's interested in that seat, he's got his eyes on a bigger seat. |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Plans To Joint The ACN Party. by Gbawe: 4:32pm On Dec 25, 2010 |
dami_paul: For Dimeji, given the prevailing political situation and arrangements, what bigger position can he realistically aspire to ? President and VP are out of the question. Senate Presidency is also on lock down - more or less . He either stays put in his current silly Job where he is , daily , a 'tool' subject to the dictates of others or he can try to be a Governor and lord of his own domain with the chance to wield real influence and transformational power . That Bankole wants to be Governor of Ogun State badly is the worst kept secret in Nigerian politics. |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Plans To Joint The ACN Party. by Kobojunkie: 4:39pm On Dec 25, 2010 |
axeman85: Denial is a bad thing, you know? ACN does align itself with and beds some of the rogues we have in that nation. Ofcourse they want to win at all cost, and this is no different from the ACN practice of the past. As much as I am fed up with the PDP nonsense, I believe we ought to tell ourselves the truth of all the other parties so we do not fall down the same hole we are trying to crawl out of. |

Re: Dimeji Bankole Plans To Joint The ACN Party. by damipaul(m): 5:23pm On Dec 25, 2010 |
@Gbawe, would you rather be a Gov and have dominion over a state or be the speaker and influence 36 states. Dimeji doesn't need to be Gov to deal with Gbenga, go ask Gbenga what he's going thru in Dimeji's hands. |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Plans To Joint The ACN Party. by Gbawe: 5:54pm On Dec 25, 2010 |
dami_paul: This is not accurate . Bankole's "influence" is , in reality, not what some of us think it is . The senate and house of Rep are the most frustrating places for achievers, progressives and reform-minded politicians to find themselves in. The legislative arm of Nigeria is badly in need of reform because for far too long it has attracted indolent men and women who are the representatives of themselves and the various interest groups and cabal that have sponsored them to power . It is a house divided against itself where good intentions never win against expediency and self-servitude. This is why we dont see the smooth passage of bills that can accelerate the development of Nigeria . If Bankole , as per his youth , is not totally jaded and if he still has any decency in him then he will be fed up with existing in an environment of non-stop 'horsetrading' where one man cannot make a difference because his good intentions , if it goes againt the interest of his colleagues and their sponsors, will always be shot down. As a Governor , Bankole would be able to make a difference at least as far as his State is concerned . It si interesting you think OGD is having a tough time with Bankole because I don't see what you see. Bankole instigated the Rep to give Ogun State Assembly an ultimatum. The Reps threatened to take over Ogun Assembly after a period if OGD's is not stopped several weeks ago . What has happened ? Nada !!! Dimeji and his colleagues blinked first despite their "national power" !!! The result of those sort of tussle will , if anything, convince Bankole that Governors are powerful . We forget that Bankole is young. Unlike old and jaded Dinosaurs like OBJ, Anenih , Danjuma et al , Dimeji still has time to grow tired of existing in a place where he can never achieve anything positive for his nation. |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Plans To Joint The ACN Party. by anonimi: 6:22pm On Dec 25, 2010 |
@Gbawe almost everything is right about your analysis EXCEPT where you somehow imagine that Bankole has any desire of achieving anything for "his nation". the young man is thorough bred rogue like most of the other current day politicians since most of us are content with armchair analysis rather than registering to vote and encouraging other to do likewise. we will not matter to the politicians except they know we can determine their fate to some extent. QED |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Plans To Joint The ACN Party. by Gbawe: 6:38pm On Dec 25, 2010 |
anonimi: I am no fan of Bankole at all and I have criticised his conducts many time on Nairaland. Nothing , nonetheless , is set in stone with Nigerian politics . Bankole is still young enough to have a change of mind or ideology. He is still young enough to be prickled by his conscience . Unlike OBJ , for example , Bankole is still young enough to give a damn about stinging criticism against his person and leadership. In Nigerian politics we generally do not have saints . We generally just have devils who are better than each other. |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Plans To Joint The ACN Party. by damipaul(m): 6:47pm On Dec 25, 2010 |
My brother, don't view/see things from the surface, the house did give an ultimatum concerning the crises in Ogun house, that you've not seen Dimeji and Daniel fight physically or exchange words doesn't mean the house is not taking it's ultimatum seriously. Can't say more than that |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Plans To Joint The ACN Party. by apoti(m): 8:19pm On Dec 25, 2010 |
What's even between Obasanjo and this Olurin sef |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Plans To Joint The ACN Party. by Gbawe: 8:39pm On Dec 25, 2010 |
dami_paul: To be honest , I was hoping to see the House make good on their threat because Gbenga Daniels illegality should not be allowed to stand . It sets a bad precedence of lawlessness . Sadly , we have the unique situation of a weak and desperate incumbent President throwing a spanner in the works against due process in an attempt to realise , IMO, a doomed ambition. We all know that all arms of Government should be working in synergy to deal with Gbenga Daniel. He is creating a problem for the entire nation with his venture into uncharted lawless territory others political gangsters will want to emulate. I think Bankole grew frustrated to the extent that he compelled the Reps to act and that was why we saw the threat from the House against the Ogun Assembly. I am almost certain that Bankole was reprimanded by the Presidency over his attempt to move against OGD. This would explain why the threat against OGD died with a whimper . At the very least , this may be one of the reasons Bankole may be seeking a move away from the PDP i.e the Speaker of the House realises that , under Jonathan, he will always lose out to Mr. President's campaign coordinator for the SW region - Gbenga Daniel. |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Plans To Joint The ACN Party. by iyke619: 8:44pm On Dec 25, 2010 |
Bankole's move to ACN to me is a political suicide because he may end up not "capturing" the Guber ticket there and becoming stranded, because ACN is nt PDP where internal democracy is lacking. And failure to do so will put his political career on a down slide which may be too hard to remedy. Look at what Atiku is facing in PDP because he failed to bid his time in PDP ,but instead choose to prostitute with ACN. My advise to Bankole, is that he is still a very young man with time on his side, he should bid his time until an opportune time in the future when his oppressors like Daniel have left power, then he can make another bid for the Governorship, now his should seek to return as speaker or at least remain a legislator, "a patient dog always get the fattest bone" |

Re: Dimeji Bankole Plans To Joint The ACN Party. by Gbawe: 9:13pm On Dec 25, 2010 |
apoti: It is the Military thing. OBJ , when not in power, does not embrace achievers or progressive folks who have their own minds and convictions . He prefers either outright criminals or his former Military pals . OBJ only promoted achievers like Okonjo-Iweala , while in power, because he looked good through the efforts of those guys . When OBJ is out of power he is like a vengeful entity who is only happy to see Nigeria chaotic so that most folks continue to proclaim him the "best" . OBJ's many insecure rants against Awolowo is the biggest clue that the man hates for others to be acknowledged . The wickedness and anti-Yoruba mien of OBJ can be gleened from how he admitted callously that what awolowo chased relentlessly (to lead Nigeria) for all his life he achieved with ease twice. That statement explains the dangerous mentality of a man who believes that those who want to lead with every fibre of their being should be denied leadership positions in favour of misrulers and looters with no passion for office. In that context , it is perfectly understandable that OBJ is backing Olurin - a relic from the past. Give OBJ a thousand chances to pick a president between Donald Duke, Fashola and Yar Adua and rest assured OBJ , a thousand times, will pick Yar adua or another "underwhelming" leader like GEJ. |

I don't know why we give credence to these jokers who have stolen their way into the corridors of power. it is obvious they have no ideology by which they operate. Their main aim is to plunder our common wealth and they will dance to who ever gives them that opportunity. Bankole has acheived nothing as the speaker and desperately wants to maintain his pay check which keeps him in the latest cars, and will do everything to maintain the status quo. it's not about Nigeria or Nigerians. They plunder while the masses suffer. |
