....Oga one quick question abeg..how will Tinubu win against a N/SE alliance for instance??

Sanchez01:

Says who? At most, he'll get another 5 percentile but then it wouldn't stop him. Tinubu is the reason Lagos is what it is. He is the reason the likes of Fashola, Ambode, and Pst. Yemi are where they are and these folks have done marvelously well.

Unlike most politicians, Tinubu's foresight is second to none. Study several Nigerian states and the godfathers therein, compare the state's growth and improvement, alongside their trend of leaders to understand the person of Tinubu. While he is not clean, corruption-wise, I would still prefer him to most of the clowns we have out at the moment.

Kolababe:
Will vote for him. He will still money no doubt, but he will do better

kettykin:



Apart from that toll gated road and Lastma what value did tinubu bring to Lagos, did you realize that in the same country some governors built Power plants, international airports, international stadium, turned villages to cities, are constructing sea ports and dock yards, again what really did tinubu do for Lagos.

Sanchez01:

Do you/Have you been living in Lagos? Please respond.

kettykin:

I have visited Lagos and lived in Lagos.

If you can outline and itemize the achievement of tinubu in Lagos aside the heavily tolled Ajah , lekki roads and Lastma I will be glad

kettykin:

I have visited Lagos and lived in Lagos.

If you can outline and itemize the achievement of tinubu in Lagos aside the heavily tolled Ajah , lekki roads which by the way is incomplete and Lastma who are the most corrupt set of men in uniforms I will be glad

EazyMoh:

Look at this political baby. Politics is a game of interest and numbers. Yoruba and Hausa have been winning elections at the worst detriment of Ibos.
Southern Muslim will conveniently pick a Northern Christian and will clear the votes in NW.
Tinubu stands a very good chance if he contests 2019.

Iamwrath:


Lol
..

Tinubu made Lagos, put Fashola there who in turn put ambode so far Lagos's growth is exponential unlike some eroded polluted places


If Tinubu were to contest, he'd win

Whynotthetruth:


1)Lots of grammatical error in your post including that of Jabioro, FriendChoice etc that understanding the message was a bit tough...

2)Lagos was up and running not because of any Tinubu or Fashola sagacity rather it has VERY sound economic and political history/foundation dating back to its time as FCT and State capital altogether... NOTHING to do with lies you lot peddle here... Performance of Tinubu's choice candidates in all other SW states give credence to my assertion...

3)Any average person can rule Lagos SUCCESSFULLY because of the quantum of financial resources available there; which aren't product of any SW politicians wisdom rather political and economic decision of Nigeria as a country...The amount of money spent in Lagos under Tinubu, Fashola etc versus available infrastructure can ONLY prove why Nigeria isn't ready to be free from corruption...

4) I wonder how most SW folks here ridicule Jonathan who has no child or bank account outside the shores of Nigeria or significant investment in Nigeria for corruption but embrace wholeheartedly a Tinubu who has and flaunts wealth in their faces? Or even an Obj? And they accuse others of hate? smh

5)Just as JohnsonOlanre & queencalipso etc already said... Kindly elucidate the political marriage or alliance that will give Tinubu victory easily?

ngmgeek:
Maybe he was talking about contesting for the President of Oduduwa Republic and that's very very possible

Sanchez01:

First off, a North/SE Alliance isn't possible. It is hypocritical to have your people call Hausa/Fulani cows, but would want to forge an alliance with them.

As much as I don't mean to hurt anyone with my words, it is a known secret that the SE is politically irrelevant in our National politics, owing to the fact that the most disjointed, un-united folks are those in the SE.

The opposition politics in the SE is too personal. For example, you see Fayose criticize the APC, yet, he doesn't spare a minute to pledge his allegiance to Tinubu during his alleged victimization by the Presidency.

Rochas is hated by most Igbos because of his affiliation with the North. Now tell me how a people who take politics personally would make a u-turn and forge an Alliance with the North.

And just so you know, I'm pretty sure the North would not be willing to forge an Alliance with the SE because of a possible blackmail after the deed is done. This explains why the battle ground of our national politics is ALWAYS in the South West.

Tinubu on his own can pull the weight of the whole SW, as long as he has the backing of Obasanjo, believe me, the North would be divided while the SE votes would be split (though it would mostly be against Tinubu) but as long as the SS remains, lobbying would do the trick.

And again, trust me, the whole 19 Northern states cannot throw their weight behind a single Northerner. The part of the North he is from would also be a determining factor, just the choices of their vices would also play a vital role.

It breaks my heart to say this, the SE is a light weight in Nigerian politics.

Sanchez01:

I guess it's safe to say you don't really know Lagos then. However, below are some of Tinubu's achievements;

1. Tinubu instituted of a reform plan that greatly improved the welfare of judicial officers including magistrates
how this becomes an achievement is what I don't understand, the Lagos judges welfare are not the best in the country

2. He revamped the civil and criminal procedure rule as well as creation of the Citizens Mediation Centre; a well-staffed and independent Office of the Public Defender, offering legal services for the poor.
this is the same as a governor reducing the working days of his civil service from 5 to 3days and calling it civil service reforms and restructuring an achievement

3. He established additional 5 general hospitals in Lagos state
while this is the only achievement it doesn't seem the hospitals are any different from or better than what is obtainable previously

4. He upgraded facilities at the Lagos State Teaching Hospital (LASUTH)

some governors like TA orji who has been classified as the worst governor in Nigeria's history built not just a medical school but established a teaching hospital for the medical school. Here it is listed as an achievement the purchase of a few equipment and the painting of the premises

5. He provided free healthcare services including free ante-natal care for women, free eye treatments and free glasses, popularly called 'JIGI BOLA'.

6. He pioneered the Bus Rapid Transit System and LAGBUS

7. He established the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA)
again grading the most corrupt men in uniform an achievement is not a good way of accessing tinubu, most States have uniformed men who assist with traffic offences and other issues but their electorate don't consider it a Democratic deliverable

8. Reference of at least 13 matters related to the principle of federalism to be tested by the Supreme Court
this is not a tangible achievement it is not measurable it is not even comprehensible, this is like giving Rochas okorocha a pass for having the vice president of Nigeria promise to address issues of neglect of his state despite support for Buhari.

9. Tinubu created 37 Local Council Development Areas
This is the most hilarious how is the splitting up of local government areas in Lagos that is not anywhere recognized by the FG an achievement, I hope you are not being sarcastic here, breaking of the constitution is no achievement. If another governor did this he would be in very big problem with the federal government and national Assembly

basilo102:

suddenly, yorubas are now claiming political maradonna?? yorubas have never come close to national politics until they found a chance in buhari, a bigot who igbos knew was destined for failure and who has eventually failed now. Nine years after the civil war, Igbo man ended Awolowo's dream of ruling Nigeria, Same will happen in 2019. In fact, yorubas have made impossible for any southerner to win election, the best shot will be to inherit the seat of a dead Northerner, if Buhari dies, yorubas will see that jonathan was a great man to have won in 2011 because Osunbade will kicked out with the speed of light

Ngokafor:






...Oh dear!!..you have not answered the question..You just ran off with rants that are just all over the place without tackling the question...

....I know its scary for you but Nigerian Politicians are basically the same and extremely unpredictable in terms of alliances..They are all about their interests and nothing more...There are no permanent friends or enemies amongst them but permanent intersts.

....As we speak numerous unscrupulous politicians from apc and pdp are switching places at the slightest whiff of trouble or comfort..Igbo politicians included,,so what are you talking about??...

..I dont particularly care for any of them but permit me to say you are naive....One thing i will advise you never to do is to swear that a Northern Politician will never pick a South Easterner as a running mate..you will be heart-broken and shattered..

...anyway,since you clearly will not point out how a Sw/North will win a North/SE...lets wait till a party throws up a Yoruba man.lets see how it will go.

Tinubu made Lagos, put Fashola there who in turn put ambode so far Lagos's growth is exponential unlike some eroded polluted places


If Tinubu were to contest, he'd win

Jabioro:
I may have many grammatical errors.. Tinubu had been a hard core from days of Babagida. ..

queencalipso:


Am not much into politics but I can't help but quote the bolded.. You obviously do not know the sentimental nature of northern Muslims. If we have to go by your analogy, tinubu will never become the president.. Like that guys said, northern Muslims will always want to remain close to the seat of power..

Besides, all these old greedy men don't want to go and rest, they are hell bent on looting Nigeria dry, they don't want to give chance to the younger generation. Since tinubu is do good at making kings like you guys claim, why can't he pick a younger candidate, groom him and sell him to the masses... Why consider it for him self if not greed

What's more annoying is that the supposed youth are here supporting a man who's close to his grave to lead them like they once did..
