Malawian:

I am Igbo and a Lagosian. I can tell you for free that Ambode would have lost woefully in Lagos. If it was Fashola, that would have been a whole different proposition. Fashola was capable but he lacked such lofty ambitions, Fashola would have won convincingly against Tinubu. Ambode was very incapable but he had lofty ambitions, and yet, Ambode almost torpedoed Tinubu in Lagos.

Tinubu may actually be the master strategist that say he is, he saw the handwriting on the wall concerning Fashola and beat a retreat. He saw that of Ambode and undercut him ruthlessly. Fashola had the people's backing, Ambode did not.

Tinubu also learnt his lessons and may have decided a capable, ambitious hand will no longer come to power in Lagos. Take a look at the current setup in Lagos.. Sanwo and Hamzat. Of the two, Hamzat is the one who is both capable and ambitious. Hamzat is the one more likely to dethrone Tinubu and I make a prediction..

Hamzat will never smell that Governorship seat as long as Tinubu is alive. He got played by accepting to be "second in command", whereas he was only kept closer due to the threat he poses to Tinubu's empire.

Agbero enabling party that has brought relative success so far to Lagos compared to other states That's not enough reason to vote out APC, and you and I know PDP s the only opposition party we have for now in Nigeria.

Please, we can wish for PDP to govern other states, but so far APC has done remarkably well in Lagos since 1999.

Bennycollins:
Anything is possible with APC. It happened in Kano and Kogi, where the last LGA returned 99.9% voter turnout and APC 'scored' 98% of the phantom votes.

Dario1:





Every time I read comments like yours, I shake my head.
This your comment exudes nothing but pure ignorance. Ain't you in Nigeria?

I just can't fathom why any reasonable person will still choose to defend this government.

Look around u, how many people's lives have improved under this government?

Good governance should reflect on the citizens.

There is hardly any part of Nigeria that u go today that u won't hear people complaining bitterly about things.

Increase in price of commodities, tax and tax but low income.


All u all say is this rubbish of 16 years misrule of PDP.

Isn't that why a lot of people foolishly voted for Buhari - hoping he would fix things? Not knowing he has nothing at all to offer, except of course, lies, hardship, oppression etc.


Abeg make una dey shame to dey defend this government.

yanabasee:



You're too abusive and ignorant....


This is probably your first political exposure....


You need to calm down..... I followed Kano state election and I was with the PDP party and we observed the election to the very minute where we hoped on winning and we knew that we had many other huddles to cross...but we held on to hope more than anything...



You can never tell....When there's a delay like this.... There's absolutely chances that those two states could tie up with Obaseki....


As far as this election is concerned..... PDP is yet to win.


So stop being childish and abusive and calm down yourself...

States elections are different from presidential election. You know those northerners are not that learned and whatever they are told to do is what they will do. The result of just one state in the north can cancel 5 states down the south and that's the main challenge. Aboki na one direction and they dont have their own minds. Most of their senators dont go to their states to campaign for elections they win them from their houses in Abuja. And you know they have the number. That is the main issue we are dealing with in this country.

cocolacec:


You are a Biafran not Lagosian. Yorubaland for the Yorubas,Alaigbo for The Ibos,Hausaland for the Hausas.

Eriokanmi:
thank you. Fyi, I lived in lagos for years. There's nothing new you can tell me about lagos. Now that you have a governor who does the bidding of the godfathers, what exactly has he achieved in almost one and half years in office? i dare you tell me what he has achieved so far different from dismantling roundabouts and claiming he spent btw 100k and 1m naira of donated funds, treating covid-19 patients daily. My bro who's a medical dr showed me the newspaper that captioned it and i was shocked. Its in the news , check it out. Free yourselves from modern slavery and all will be well. My 50 cents.

you have filled your brain with rigging.
You depend on rigging.
Your sense of sight is rigging.
Your sense of smell is rigging.
Your sense of hearing is rigging.
You eat it is rigging.
Even when tying it is rigging.

They have used rigging to brainwashed this fellow.

Fashola begged and prostrated to Tinubu before he got his second term in 2011.

I have been a lagosian before your speerm was formed in you father's balls.

you're the least I expect to be this dumb with analysis. I'm surprise with the level I put you here you're so below of it


please run through my posts and see if I belong to the low class sycophants like you. you think someone like me will waste my time to be asslicking, defending those useless politicians that rendered this country to the lower ground despite having enough resources to make it great


first political exposure you said? I guess the kano you followed is your own first political exposure. this is a public forum and I expect intellectual composure, why shook mouth on what transcend your knowledge?


on what stand is Ambode political battle the same with Obaseki? would Obaseki have survive if he had inaugurate the rest of the lawmakers? he pocket those that could be a threat to his political triumph and your likes are comparing him to Ambode that his deputy is not even loyal to him


please seek knowledge and stop disgracing yourself here

Now I know some Edo people are fools....they purposely voted for obaseki to prove a point to the opposition party...not that he has performed creditably well.
Now that you have vote obaseki, enjoy his stringent economy policy for another 5 years tenure

Ategberoson:



how is living in Lagos for years an achievement when those that grew up in USA is not making noise, talking about complex inferiority

I am a Lagosian by birth and parentage I have probably been a Lagosian long before you ( maybe) and have been politically conscious since the mid 80s..

I can also tell you Lagos existed before 1999.I know what Lagos was like in those days despite the meagre resources from FG & IGR.Yet we had excellent transport-ation system, school system, affordable housing, good civil service, among others..

And we didn't have a godfather somewhere or MC Oluomo calling the shots from Oshodi ( yeah, we had the likes of Bayo Success, Alaye Monzor, Baba Sangula, Haji Mosho, Billy Famous etc as Lords of the hoods but barely powerful beyond lsale Eko, ldunmota, oju olobun , jankara, adeniji, balogun, elegbaata, ldunmagbo , ereko or ebute ero)..

Besides, these street Lords were never nuisances or blatantly powerful as APC made present agberos.Bottom line? Lagos rakes in billions daily, but a single person controls the pie and we dress it with cosmetics infrastructure.Besides, 21 years under a single party and person like an oligarchy? How democratic!

How old are you to say,you have been lagosian before i was born?I belong to to the royalty in Yorubaland,Southwest.

You are not Yoruba and can never become Yoruba unless your mother slept with a Yoruba man and gave you to an Ibo father.


Your Dilector of IPOB is waiting to be the first Plesident of Biafra.I pray Ibos have their own country soon and leave our land in Southwest and the North.
