Ibadan – The people of Oyo State have been urged to vote for President Goodluck Jonathan and all Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) candidates in February to ensure the creation of Ibadan state.

Oloye Jumoke Akinjide, Minister of State for Federal Capital Territory (FCT), made the call during PDP campaign for Jonathan and Sen.Teslim Folarin in Ibadan on Thursday.

Akinjide said that Jonathan had signified interest in the creation of the state and such would be achieved if re-elected and with Folarin as the governor of the state.
“You should please go out and convince others to collect their voter cards.
“Tell them to vote for Jonathan and Folarin. It is by doing so that we can get Ibadan State. Vote PDP, vote Ibadan State’’, she said.[/size]

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the minister used the occasion to dispel the rumour of being at loggerheads with Folarin.

“Folarin and I are brother and sister. We are not fighting. We are together’’, she said.
Alhaji Yekini Adeojo, former National Deputy Chairman of the party, said Folarin was the best candidate for Oyo governorship.

He said Sen. Rasidi Ladoja of Accord Party, Sen. Abiola Ajimobi of All Progressives Congress and Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala of Labour Party had been governors and old.

“Two of them have cases in court with EFCC. Folarin has none and he remains untainted. He is young and neutral. Vote for him’’, he said.

Sen. Lekan Balogun called for massive votes for Jonathan, Folarin, Sen. Ayoade Adeseun, and other candidates of the party.

He said, “we are going to beautify Oyo without inflicting sufferings on the people of the state.’’

The event attended by a mammoth crowd, was attended Gen. Raji Rasaki, former Military Administrator of Lagos and Ogun and Sen. Hosea Agboola.
Others were Alhaji Yinka Taiwo, Chairman of PDP in Oyo, Asimiyu Alarape, the Director-General, Teslim Folarin Campaign Organisation and a host of party supporters. (NAN)

This OP is a disgusting chap I don't even like to quote or dignify with a response to his posts which are main silly and cretinous. Yet this post is different in its silliness and outright idiocy. I am shocked the OP is not ashamed to bring this garbage here which is an insult to to the intelligence of all Nigerians and another indictment of how clueless and destructive the PDP is. PDP, seriously ?

Is this how desperate the ruling Party is after failing Nigerians for 16 years? Okay let me holla Epe/Ikeja/Surulere folks to vote Agbaje and GEJ to get Epe/Ikeja/Surulere State respectively !!!!!!! While at it, why not promise Abeokuta or Ijebu Ode their own State if they vote for the PDP in Ogun State? Osun nKo? Perhaps Osogbo folks should vote PDP and get their own State !!!! Totally ridiculous and the sort of antics expected from a drowning Party that has nothing to offer the masses and is now only willing to say and do anything, however impractical or silly, that will provide 4 more years to loot the commonwealth of the people on top of the 16 years they have had already.

KHAYGOLD:
PDP has totally lost it. This shouldn't be a reason to vote Jonathan.

Firefire:
President Goodluck Jonathan, the entire Nigerians are behind you, we shall give you our votes, we trust in you, in you is the CHANGE we NEED.

We cannot put our trust in the party that is parading formal criminals in PDP who now jump ship to become Progressive overnight.

We cannot leave our children destiny in the hands of the likes of Bola Tinubu and the following elements who help destroyed this country:

1. Rotimi Amaechi – 8 years speaker under PDP, and 7 years Governor under PDP = 15 years in PDP.

2. Atiku Abubakar – 8 years Vice president under PDP.

3. George Akume – 8 years Governor under PDP.

4. Bukola Saraki – 8 years Governor, and 2 years, Senator under PDP = 10 years.

5. Timipre Sylver – 4 years Governor under PDP.

6. audu ogbe – 2 years Chairmanship of the PDP.

7. Aminu Masari – 4 years as the Speaker, House of Representatives under PDP.

8. Chris Ngige – 3 years Governor under PDP.

9. Rabiu Kwankwaso – 7 years Governor under PDP, and 3 years Defense minister under PDP = 10 years.

10. El Rufai – 4 years FCT Minister under PDP, and 2 years BPE chairman under PDP = 6 years.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

God bless the President of Nigeria (Dr. Goodluck Jonathan 2011 - 2019)

God bless Nairaland

God bless you!

Shalom!

Indeed. PDP is now behaving like a lunatic that deserves to be sectioned and locked away !!! What manner of desperation has led to this idiotic campaign pledge that, at best, is a joke and and a big insult against the intelligence of Oyo folks and Nigerians in general? Instructive as well that the PDP only know how to divide and polarise everything/every group and every gathering without "giving a damn" about the repercussion of their actions.

The PDP will set brothers/communities/religious faiths et al against each other simply to earn more looting time. Now they are trying to coerce Ibadan folks to vote for them with the carrot of disunity and needless rebellion. This is the only thing the PDP knows to do i.e divide, destroy and loot. We can even see this with how GEJ has destroyed and divided his own Party, the Army, the EFCC, DSS, Nigeria Police force, important Nigerian institutions and Nigeria in general. It is shocking the PDP does not realise Nigerians are now aware of their fondness for 'divide and conquer'. This is not the sort of thing a child should say let alone a ruling Party use as a campaign 'Carrot'. Let every landmass within a State begin agitating for separation then. Idiocy of the highest order.

Gbawe:


Please act upright for once in your life and stop hiding behind childish mischief. You can support the PDP but that does not mean you must promote and endorse everything the Party does even when you know such is detrimental to the progress of Nigeria. The interest of over 170 million people is greater than the squabbles between two main political Parties.

What is best for Nigerians should take precedence in the mind and thoughts of all enlightened Nigerians. To that extent, non of us should support what we know is a step backwards for Nigeria even when such comes from the political Party we support. Ibadan State? Seriously? Are the PDP for real or is this another indictment of how PDP leaders are crooks who will say and promise anything, however unfeasibly inane and retrogressive, to gain more 'looting time'?

Firefire:
Haters may continue to hate, writers may continue to write nonsense, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan remains the President of Nigeria till 2019.


Are you angry ? 'CHANGE' your home address. Finito!

Scatterboss:
This is rubbish. So creating a new states now means what? A yoruba wanna-be guy is even jumping up and down here posting trash. Jobless paid tout everywhere....You shouldnt expect our votes after calling our elders tout and different names. Desperadoea.

Mogidi:
Ibadan citizens know what to do if they want a state.
