Please how did Fashola fail and how did umahi succeed

Leave Exclusive101, he's likely an Igbo man, most of them on Nairaland are unintelligent. If he's not from their tribe, then he's automatically a failure to them, regardless of 3rd Niger bridge or anything.

Both of them made the right choice. Lalong just want a peaceful retirement lifeso he opted for the senate. Umahi still want to be seen in the public, controlling a full ministry that has a budget as big as Ebonyi state so he opted for the ministerial appointment

best analysis so far

Why should budget be a yardstick for comparison? Are you subtly supporting fund embezzlement? The way we support and encourage corruption in this country is alarming.

The big question is, did Umahi know the portfolio to be given to him before resigning, for you to claim he wanted a ministry he would control with the budget at big as Ebonyi?
The way some of you just manufactured words to buttress issue is out of this world. O ga o.

ALLNIGERIANSMAD:
best analysis so far

That's was the most wrong analysis so far.
How did Umahi knew he was to be given ministry of works? Just to show you that he was wrong because many of them doesn't know the portfolio they will be given until after screening.

IseOluwatoyosi:
They both made the right choice in the interest of the party and self interest.

Umahi for self and party interest:
Another election to that senatorial seat occupied by Umahi will be won buy APC in Ebonyi. @least 80%assurance. It is a win win for APC and Umahi.

As for Lalong, if he remained a minister and another by-election is conducted , it will cost APC that senatorial seat, because there was 60% assurance that APC would lose that seat. Court gave APC that senatorial seat. So it is in the party interest to be a senator, while party replace Lalong with APC loyalist. Even though, PBAT is yet to appoint another ministerial nominee for Plateau State.

This is the best comment for now.

David Umahi:
Umahi is the current minister of work. He is the immediate past governor of Ebonyi state. He was elected into the senate in 2023 election, but resigned to take the appointment of minister of works.

Simon Lalong:
Lalong is currently a senator. He is the immediate past governor of Plateau state. He was appointed minister of Labour, but resigned his ministerial position when the court declared him senator of his senatorial zone.

Considering the uncertainties and failure of this govt so far, who do you think made the right decision between the two of them?

lalong made the right choice
An elected position is better than a ministerial position which is by appointment

Exclusive101:
If it is not for foolishness can't you see Umahi is already creating a leadership role for himself when the presidency return to the South ?

Where a whole Fashola failed over 8 years Umahi succeeded n transform the ministry within just a year. Do you think anyone can erase that record if he keeps it up ?!

Let presidency return to the North let see if Lalong will be considered for VP talk more of being in good stead for the #1 seat.

You must be dreaming to think Umahi can be given presidency in the South East. Who is Umahi again please? smh

Exclusive101:
Bro make we no too talk as far as I am concerned Fashola was a failure as work minister n gross failure as work n power minister. 3rd mainland bridge he couldn't complete was what Umahi accomplish one year in office.

I would respond to this talk because if i don't...it will be seen as the truth...

Because go and check... Fashola work on the 3rd mainland bridge that lead to the closure was done under the bridge and in the water...

The people complained that the road has a vibration so the work was on what we call the pillars ..

And on the work of umahi....why i would not choose to do mumu tribal nonsense...

The work has already gotten approval by fashola in April 2023 to the tune of 6bn by FEC under Buhari....

Fashola work on the 2nd niger bridge and the lagos - ibadan express way will help you avoid sounding like you are who i think you are ..

Lalong made a better choice. A minister is appointed and can be fired at any time. A senator is elected and can't be fired by the president

Supposing Lalong was given a juicy ministry like works, I don't think he could've resigned for Senate. He was coming out of governing a wahala state and given a wahala ministry with low annual budget; he chose Senate for peaceful retirement, enjoy burgous allowance and continue to get share of the national cake from ministries and agencies.

lalong's portfolio wasn't juicy

sleek214:

I've explained

Brilliant and clear explanation.

b3llo:
It is easier for Lalong to be a minister in Tinibu's cabinet than for him to be a Senator in his zone.

Both made the right choice that will benefit their pockets and personal interests

Adblg0610:
The choice made by Simon Lalong to protect the Plateau South Senatorial position, was in the interest of the party (APC). If he had chosen to remain as a minister, there would have been a re-run election which could have probably been won by the PDP.
On the other hand, Dave Umahi chose to relinquish his Senatorial position for ministerial position because the APC is more popular in Eboyin than the PDP, based on the 2023 election results .. He has also performed well as a minister of works.

You are wise bro

Lalong is totally right for doing the right thing. He was elected as a senator and so be it.
Humans should do the right things accordingly.

adioolayi:
Definitely Umahi..


I strongly feel Solomon Lalong no like that portfolio he got.... Minister of Labour and Productivity....Na Labour Unions and strikes he of dey tackle.

So, e better make he dey Senate

Theres a cash cow in that ministry.

Something wey Ngige wan die on top ministry of Labour , he even packaged himself to be the chairman of that cash cow agency in ministry of Labour but when PBAT see his name , na so e drop am.

Lolz419:

But the failure coming with this govt is also robbing him and damaging his reputation.
His ambition of becoming a president now hangs on the success of this administration and so far, it has been catastrophic.
Meanwhile Lalong still has his reputation intact.

this government is not failing in anyway.the economy of this country was extremely bulldozed between 2015 and 2023, the present government is working very hard to refix it. it will take time and extreme measures to bring it back to life.

Lalong, a senator earn more than a minister.

In simple terms, being appointed means you can be fired anytime in Nigeria since there's no fixed term for ministers. Senators, on the other hand, are harder to remove unless impeached or recalled. So, job security-wise, the Plateau State man (Lalong) has an advantage over the Ebonyi State man (Umahi). When it comes to influence, ministers have more nationwide impact compared to senators who mainly represent their constituencies. However, becoming a successor president in Nigeria is tough for any minister except maybe the Minister of Justice. If the senator becomes Senate President, he could rise higher than even the Minister of Justice, who's the fifth most powerful person in Nigeria. Given the current government's track record, who do you think made the better choice between Umahi and Lalong?

In my opinion, Lalong's decision to return to the Senate seems more secure and potentially influential, especially if he becomes Senate President. However, Umahi's move to become a minister might offer broader national impact depending on his role, despite the risks of ministerial changes.

umahi na Igbo man when value money pass em life.lalong na Hausa man when no want be part of those they will call when tinubu failure report card is been read.One of them has integrity the other is a coastal highway armed robber.

How can you hear a name Lalong and tag it as Hausa? Lalong is from plateau state. Thats not an Hausa state

Depends on their interest and they had different portfolios . Ministry of labor no too dey lucrative like that , na so so wahala with ASUU and NLC almost every 3 months intervals . Ask Chris Ngige, he go explain wetin him eyes see

This is obirodent miscreants wailing thread, wailing about those who have achieved and accomplished in life. Wailing wailers.

Mumu.....when it return to the south like; 8 years after Tinubu then another 8 years after a northerner which makes it 16 years after Tinubu before another southerner take over which Umahi himself will be in his late 78 years old getting to 80 years...
Foolish as you are, you don't even think of how a young vibrant person will take over because slavery runs in your gene...MUMU

They both made good choices.. i'd explain

Umahi chose ministry of works because of itz budget and the financial gains dere. The financial gains as the minister of Labour is greater than that of being a senator


Lalong resigned because unlike ministry of works, labour's budget and financial gains isn't that much when compared to being a senator

Both of them will pack equal amount of money, the cunniest will pack more!
