@duduyemi, the information ive put on here is what most article contributors in the nigerian dailies are privy to. i have no campaign information here


@hao62 you seem to be pained about something. why r u so bothered about this man? the hatred passion is too much. focus on your candidate's winnablility. refrain from bashing mr pedro from no reason. you are wasting your time questioning mr pedro's rock solid integrity. as in, it is rocker than olumo rock solid! neither can you question is managerial experience, for goodness sake your man has never managed more than 20 people, and he wants to be governor of a state with almost 20 million??   wonders shall never end sha!

the truth is this: this campaign is not who has the glossiest fotos, nor who has the most jingles, or the slickest website, or any of all this jargon agbaje's people will tell you. it is not about who has the most money or the most billboards and posters like fashola will say. it is not about who has abused tinubu the most, like koro will tell you. it is not even about some of the things femi pedro's camp will claim like this person has endorsed me or that person has endorsed me. it is deeper than you think.

come election day, it will boil down to who has mobilized the most people, and who INEC announces as the winner. fullstop,
sorry to say, but agbaje' and fashola'll prolly fall short on both respects.


and speaking of agbaje, my brotha, the difference is clearer than 7UP. pedro and agbaje are not in the same league.  agbaje should spend his time convincing the people why they should elect a man with no proven record of managing people and money on a large scale.


the election is 8 days away! the people of lagos have pretty much made up their minds as to who they want to vote for.

@ hao62 i sense frustration. why the pedro attacks? since you joined this forum, you have focused your attacks on Pedro alone. if you are so sure he is not in the race, why are u even worrying yourself? there are people here shouting for uche ohimai, why arent you berating them?


there is no need for you to be posting names up here. i asked you to show face at chocolate royal, you didnt show.


the polls published today in thisday and guardian are a true reflection of the race.


the PFN newsletter was circulated among journalists, but tinubu has supressed it (payment)

if you think its only among journalists that pedro's name is said, you are wrong. his name is being discussed in places bigger than any of us here can imagine.


issue-based politics, not character assasination. refrain from calling a man you do not know a thief. mr. femi pedro stands today with rock solid integrity




@oshy, this hoa62 gentleman is showing his nervousness and political naivety on here. those who know what is going on in lagos have refrained from bashing pedro.

*nods head at kitaun and hoa62* why are you guys fretting? kitaun u are begining to sound like your jeun soke boss, by throwing accusations at me being a double ID. i have already given you d koko, i dont know who any other ID is on this website. i have one account and one account only. administrators can verify this. besides, the two times i went to chocolat royal, nobody showed up


all this yarning and counter yarning wont do anyone any good. what difference would can and pfn endorsement do for you guys? it has happend, nothing u can do to stop it.


in any case sha, next week all d shege go reveal itself,


meantime i urge u all to keep on telling ur candidates to go out and stay safe- the channels tv report this evening was disturbing


no shaking, no stoppin, no kwenching, destiny beckons!

kitaun, kitaun, kitaun,


election is already here


man supposes, God disposes. its out of our hands now innit?


refrain from the abuses you reigneth on me. if you have objections to any part of my article, let us know

i doubt u have any objections

why the animosity kitaun?


do u want to deny anything i typed? i doubt u have any objections.

sentiments aside, lagosians know that article is spot on,

@ iderawole, they dont know what is going on!

Nairaland users, the article i wrote is not meant to serve as propaganda of any sort, this is factual stuff.


i will let u into something

even more worrysome is the fact that Tinubu knows who his biggest threat is- Femi Pedro. you will be surprised that jimi agbaje is being funded by Yomi Edu, tinubu's best friend and former commissioner of finance. agabje's role in this race is to neutralize femi pedro's base. jimi agbaje doesnt even know this, funny enough. to make matters more interesting, tinubu has funded newspaper publications that depict the race as being between fashola koro and agbaje, in the hope that it would affect voter perception. tinubu knows fashola will beat these candidates easy. but he cannot beat Pedro. what tinubu doesnt understand is that Pedro has the most untraditional base of them all.  even people within AC fold are secretly campaining for pedro. even more unfortunate for jimi is that he hasnt been able to cut into pedro's stronghold of christians and labour leaders.

this is Lagos politics for you.

@ con9ja they are trying to keep it away from the press,


its almost here! Lagos is buzzing!

thanks larufa. but majority of the names you put there are either politically irrelevant, or are subject to the whims and movement of atiku and tinubu. the reality on ground is that the party is a conglomeration of aggrieved politicians, spearheaded by the desperado combination of atiku and tinubu,



best believe, tinubu dropped out of the senatorial race because the consequences would have been more drastic if he had stayed in. not because of giving anybody a chance or whatever. regardless, tinubu cannot win a battle against efcc. its like an HIV virus, it is there, but it wont attack him yet. tinubu may be able to run, but he cannot hide anywhere.

it is no coincidence that today, lagos is the only state AC stands a chance (maybe plateau and adamawa as well). the party actually lacks formidable structure, though it makes up for it via ammassed wealth. it is like a drowning ship. after may 29, the party in its entirety will wither to political irrelevance.

On 29th May 2007, when the Chief Judge of Lagos state mounts the podium to administer the oath of office to the duly elected Governor of Lagos, it would not come as a surprise that neither the lackey of out-going Governor Tinubu, Babatunde Fashola, nor the PDP flagbearer, Musiliu Obanikoro, would step up to take that oath.



Contrary to the campaign rhetoric of the warring AC and PDP parties, both actually emanate from the same political stable. For example, those who hold the reign of power within the AC are mostly PDP rejects with the exception of a handful like Tinubu, whose main motivation is to procure a new federal government that will not demand retribution for the financial impropriety of his administration.

Lagos has never been comfortable with the likes of the AC or PDP as both lack progressive pedigree. Since state creation in 1967, Lagos has always been propelled by the progressive ideals of Awoism (the political philosophy and teachings of late Chief Obafemi Awolowo).

For example, from the 1979 elections till date, no party without direct lineage to the progressive roots of the late Sage has found favour with Lagosians. This ofcourse excepts the governorship election of 1991, when Lagosians deferred to a more responsible Sir Michael Otedola, in an act of political maturity and sophistication, to punish the rascally behaviour of so-called progressives.

Today, neither the AC nor the PDP can trace political ascendancy to the ideological roots of the late Sage. For the PDP it is quite obvious; descriptions such as Abacha politicians, junta politics, amala politics, garrison politics, are among the many that happily find their home within the PDP. From the Adedibus to the Akalas, from the Ubas to the Fayoses, the PDP is home to political henchmen dressed up in agbadas, babaringas and suits ever ready to unleash mayhem on the polity.

To add insult to injury, the party recently doubled with INEC to run parallel voter registration exercises from within the backyards of men like Adedibu and Akala. We wonder, how many more INEC registration machines were procured and distributed to other PDP henchmen across the nation? We will never know, just as the Adedibu and Akala cases are being swept under the carpet. Nigerians beware!

Lagosians have received their share of the PDP menace in the last 2 years as the party openly declared itself enemy of the people when it conspired with Aso Rock to starve Lagos of it's Local council funds even after the Supreme Court ordered immediate release last year.

It is laughable therefore that the same PDP, with dramatis personae like Musiliu Obanikoro, can today aspire to rule Lagos even as their grand Daddy, President Obasanjo (the most unelectable person in the South West), recently declared that they would win Lagos at all cost. The question is, does this include attempting to rig the elections?

A word of warning to the PDP warmongers who want to win Lagos at all cost; the PDP will once again meet its waterloo in Lagos as in 2003. As always, the good people of Lagos are battle ready to cast their votes according to their hearts and defend it with their God given might.

As for the AC, any pretence to progressive credentials was flawed by their unashamed and despotic imposition of candidates during the party's fake governorship primaries in various states of the country. Even the manner of it's presidential primary (if one may call it so), in which delegates were asked to confirm only one candidate, betrayed the true basis for the existence of the AC.

Before long it became clear that the sole purpose behind the formation of the AC was to actualise the political ambition of one man to rule Nigeria. This realisation exposed the lack of any real ideological basis behind the formation of the AC.

It turned out that the Action Congress was and is mainly a party of PDP rejects whose common objective is to get their man into Aso Rock and thereby regain relevance, urged on almost single-handedly by a serving Governor desperate to keep the EFCC at bay after 29th May, 2007. If anyone is in doubt about the role played by the Lagos state Governor then let him or her consider the question: who is the most dominant personality in the AC today apart from Atiku? The answer is self evident, Lagos state Governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Surely, Nigerians deserve better than a PDP/AC strangulation of our precious political space. We deserve better than a PDP government that has presided over many unresolved political assassinations, paid lip-service to corruption through selective anti-corruption crusades and left us largely underdeveloped despite huge resources at it's disposal and 8 good years in power.

We deserve better than a substitute PDP masquerading as an alternative political platform under the guise of the AC. An apology of a party that goes about brandishing brooms claiming to want to sweep away the PDP rot, when itself is part of that rot. Nigerians should rebuke this charade of the AC broom by telling the party that 'devil cannot cast out devil'. This vain showmanship and empty political rhetoric cannot deceive the largely discerning Nigerian electorate anymore.

In Lagos, many initially bought into the make-believe plan of Governor Bola Tinubu to transform AD into the AC. The argument then was that there was need to form a broad political movement to rescue Nigerians from the stifling rule of the PDP. Little did unsuspecting party faithfuls know that this was a ruse to create a mega-platform whose sole objective will be to pursue the personal ambition of V.P. Atiku Abubakar and Governor Bola Tinubu.

Indeed, it turned out that Governor Tinubu (despite being a Yoruba man) had selfishly nursed the ambition to pick the Vice Presidency slot in an Atiku presidency and had courted and encouraged Atiku out of the PDP, even to the point of secretly fuelling the 3rd term crisis within the PDP.

Tinubu's back up plan (in the event of failure to pick the VP ticket) was to become President of the Senate. Since the Alliance for Democracy (AD) was less likely to afford him the opportunity of realising his vaulting ambition, all had to be done to sacrifice the AD so that a bigger party like the AC (chiefly sponsored by him) could emerge.

As a major financier and promoter of the ACD and later the AC, Tinubu had created a mega-platform to not only prosecute his ambitious project but also to procure a new federal government without an eagle-eyed EFCC that will hold him to account for his 8 years tenure in Lagos.

This attempt by Governor Tinubu to protect his own interest regardless of the interest of Lagosians, informed his determination to impose Babatunde Fashola (at all cost) as the AC governorship candidate to the chagrin of 11 other aspirants. He unashamedly justified his choice by arguing that Fashola, as a lawyer, would be better placed to defend him against numerous litigations likely to trail his exit after May 29th 2007.

The question therefore is; what has Tinubu done to us in Lagos that he is now so afraid of leaving office without covering his tracks or indeed what has he done that he is now so afraid of an avalanche of litigation post May 29th 2007 ? In the words of a renowned novelist, I guess 'the guilty are afraid'.

The end must now be in sight as Governor Tinubu in February unceremoniously bowed out of the senatorial race citing the lame excuse of wanting to give others a chance. This coincided with the appearance of his name in the controversial EFCC list of corrupt politicians not fit to hold public office. Dare I say, notwithstanding that list, Tinubu decided to bite the bullet and withdraw his candidacy so as not to be embarrassed by a looming INEC disqualification; an inevitable consequence on account of overwhelming evidence of corruption available to the authorities.

Once a progressive (or so made us believe), Tinubu has betrayed all the ideals he was once noted for championing; even up to the hypocritical point of evolving his own 3rd term project. Of course, this was an issue over which he pretended to vilify Obasanjo from the rooftop. I guess in this, both he and our President are birds of the same feather. Notice how they both hand picked and installed their successors - a PDP/AC methodology in re-inventing the 3 term project. Our lame duck Governor must now be told to stop throwing stones as he now dwells in a glasshouse.

Come the April governorship election, the likes of Tinubu will be reminded that Lagosians would only elect a Governor that will protect their overall interest rather than elect a lackey propped up to protect the interest of one man. Waiting in the wings is the man they call Destiny- Femi Pedro.

@ dayokanu, its a reckless statement, more like the one agbaje said. it is the point i am trying to make

KITAUN DON FIRE BACK! LOL make i roll my sleeves for this one.


im sorry to say, but it seems like you also do not understand the dynamics of lagos politics. i will let you in on a few
things as a little preamble,

1. senator bola ahmed tinubu won the 2003 elections because of three people who are not nearly being given enough credit: Remi Adikwu bakare, Atiku Abubakar and Femi Pedro, in that specific order. i wont dive into too many details online, but i can assure you. these were the people instrumental for his sucess in the last polls

2. in the last election,the inec numbers reflected that 2 million people came out to vote. for your information, ONLY 300,000 people actually voted that rainy day. Alliance for Democracy recorded 110,000 OFFICIAL votes. I repeat, 110,000 OFFICIAL votes. PDP recorded a similar number. because of the way registration was done and confirmed, it gave the two parties leeway to manipulate the numbers, hiking it up to almost 800,000 votes on each side. this was because of Remi Adikwu Bakare. Funsho Williams' tally ended up being lower than tinubu's because of Atiku's influence. the bulk of the campaing money used to defend the votes were raised at a fundrasier held a week before the election. 1.5billion naira was raised. 780 million was donated by femi pedro's corporate people.

4. like the last election, the registration numbers are identical (4 million). of the registered voters, half of them are fakes. so we can safely say there are only 2 million eligible registered voters. of the 2 million, not all of them will come out and vote. if this was 2003,only about 300,000 would vote. but because of the dynamics of this race, more voters will come out- about 500-800 thousand will actually vote. the truth is that the support you think AC and PDP have is really a figment of your imagination. they have money, they have media, but not mammoth support. AC and PDP are banking on widespread political manipulation, especially now that someone like Mr Pedro is coming with structured support (i.e. Labour and Christians)

so you are dreaming if you think this is a mere forgone conclusion.


for your information, one of the 3 reasons why Atiku and OBJ fell out in 2003 was his romance with Tinubu, a romance that begun in early 2003.


that was just a little preamble. now, back to your insinuations.

1. about the double ID, i have called on the administrators to publish our IPs. guaranteed, there's nothing im hiding.
2. i always AND i repeat, always maintained agbaje and pedro were the most fit to win the election. pedro is the better candidate because of his managerial experience. fashola is a stooge, who is trying to take credit for things he was not involved in.
3.Back to that illfated debate. up until the surge on pedro, agbaje was loosing the debate. he goes and questions mr pedro's integrity. the fact is mr pedro's questioned mr agbaje's ability to govern, and he questioned fashola's statement that fashola used to assign pedro work. he never questioned their integrityyy. jimi's attack was uncalled for, unwarranted and a cheap political move, mr pedro does not joke with his integrity- something that has been rock solid for 20 years. if someone tries to humiliate you on national television- assasinate your character- will you not rise and defend yourself? why didnt agbaje choose to ask koro about his age? or fashola about the bought SAN or his drug and alchohol problems? he had to throw a cheap shot at his biggest threat.
4. it has nothing to do with being short fused or not. have u been granted audience by koro? by obasanjo? even tinubu himself is short tempered. what has short fuseed got to do with being able to govern? this is the same guy u said was too quiet to rule lagos. now he is short fused so he can't rule?
5. tinubu called out all 6 candidates at that rally in festac. the video is online. why should pedro be the only one refuting obviously reckless statements? femi pedro worked in tinubu's cabinet for 4 years. tell mr tinubu to back that statement up with a single fact, mr pedro denied the coup conspiracy thing because tinubu released a public statement, with detailed facts. saying he cannot trust pedro with treasury is reckless statement made in the heat of political rally. i mean, kitaun, BE logical.
6. agbaje did not ask pedro a question. this were his exact words "i am currently on the board of trustees at gtb. i mean, you and i know the real circumstances under which you left GTB".the intelligence report on mr pedro is that his biggest strenght is his unquestionable integrity. agbaje tried to scatter that with his words. trust me, it failed
7. where did femi pedro say he will shift the bulk of governance to private sector? abi did you not watch the debates? that is opata you are yarning. the man said he will use the private sector to help fund many of the governance initiatives. he dint say anything about shifting base.
8. i did not post a picture of the 2 million man march. the pictures i posted, i took from his website. if the march was a disaster, why are you worried? he has Labour Congress, its affiliates and CAN on his side, he will jam your supporters at the polls. You wait and see. which other candidates have any kind of backing aside from their 10,000 core loyalists?



the bottom line is that your analysis is devoid of what is most essential: you forget the God is the author of mr pedro's surge. he has no mortal godfather, he dint kill rams and snakes in his backyard, he dint put his fate in two-faced politicians. he took his message right to the people. these are the things we should celebrate. things like this mean he is not indebted to anybody but God and the electorate once he resumes in alausa. mr pedro is the best man for the job. he is the most experienced, and he has rock-solid integirty- he was offered all types of material things as deputy, not once did he fall for them. on the other hand, fashola will not, i repeat, will not govern lagos. it will make tinubu a political godfather, the exact thing we do not want in a metropolitian city like Lagos. Koro will be embroiled in litigation after litigation, he wont be able to govern for 4 years. Agbaje lacks managerial experience. he will crumble after 3 months in office.





the election is around the corner. as we speak, votes are being won and lost. Mr Pedro is busy campaigning to the people door to door! i hope your candidates are doing the same,

Hoa62, thats why i said you did not watch the debate.

sheriff balogun was one of the 20 reporters that stormed GTB plaza on tuesday to bombard tayo aderiokun with questions about Pedro's departure. they left dissapointed because tayo told them pedro was a shining light and an inspirtation to the bank till today. tayo even confirmed that fola called jimi and scolded him for his desperation.

about tinubu saying he cant trust pedro: PEDRO NO DEY CONTROL TREASURY!!! FEMILANGY AND KITAUN KNOW THIS!!!!!, besides,  this same tinubu also called your man an outsider and a contractor. is anybody making noise about tinubu's reckless statements? hell to the no!!!!!!




anybody have ideas of a fast connection cybercafe on awolowo? this one is too slow  
when i finish uploading this debate videos, you will have the answers to your questions

@ HA052
its a small world bro. your ITK is too much. I suggest you go back to the shell you came out of (chief Poster, jimiagbaje.com).



what are we meeting for? you are the one that was claiming i was mr pedro himself. LOLOLL. i will even come with some of my colleagues that are actually jimi agbaje fans to prove you wrong.

YOUR ITK IS TOOOO MUCCHHH!


london, connecticut, tampa, all of them na oversees!


PS keep relying on silverbird poll oh!

24.186.207.37 - Hoa62, that is your IP address. that means you are in connecticut or tampa. abi i dey lie lol.

i never said i worked for the campaign my brotha. i said I aided campaign. i am aiding campaign by spreading his name and writing articles on him.


Nairaland users, lets stay away from uncessesary propaganda against a specific candidate (e.g mustay and hoa62 ganging up against pedro). for 6 months, kitaun, femilangy and llcoolg have engaged me in back and forth debates about the candidates, and not once has character assasination been in the equation. it was not until hoa62 and his cohorts joined nairaland that femi pedro's integrity has become an issue.

even the others (kitaun, femilangy, llcoolg etc) know femi pedro's greatest strenght is his integrity and know-how



hoa62. if you want to prove to me that you know what is going on in lagos politics, i challenge you to come to chocolate royal tommorow at 2pm. you were a no-show yesterday, but this time around, i will wear a jimi agbaje hat and a femi pedro shirt. i will have gulder on my table, and i will be holding your candidates manifesto book with femi's manifesto poster.

are you up for it? LOL. i very much doubt it, due to location constraints on your part.

it does,

the way i see it, there's different types of posters here


1. people who are outside nigeria, but intersted in what is going on in nigeria. they are not registered to vote, but are keen on following what is going on. they are indifferent/undecided as to who is the best candidate but have a general idea of who is fit to rule) (e.g. naija4eva, damsol)

2. people outside nigeria that have picked a candidate from the jump. they will rely on the little information they get from PM news and the other nigerian websites, along with direct contact with the candidate, to come on here and spread dodgy propaganda (e.g. hoa62, mustay)

3. people who are in lagos nigeria, who until recently reallly didnt care who governed us. the debate helped them distinguish the candidates, while dispelling stereotypes about certain candidates. this is the most critical group of posters because they reflect about 20-25% of the eventual voters. (e.g. McDoe, brownbaby, ETM)

4. people who are currently in lagos nigeria, who are currently working for/aiding the campaigns of the candidates of their choice. (streetcyph, kitaun, llcoolg, femilangy)


damsol, its important that we are all being fed the right information. i am currently at a cybercafe, trying to upload the video of the debates (LTV and then channels). it will give group 1 and 2 a clearer picture of things.

no guarantees how long this will take. its a 40mb file and this place is just too slow.

PS anyone know any cybercafes on awolowo road with a fast connection speed?

i can see you are still going at it here


HOA62, u were a no-show at chocolate royal yesterday. any chance for a visit tommorow?



the website agaisnt obanikoro is not going to do anything. its a waste of energy. again, it is propaganda by desparados to condemn candidates character, rather than focus on who has the best plans for lagos

in desperation, this is the tactic the likes of HOA62 and his cohorts have adopted on this forum.

HOA62, i just received an admin message with your I.P.

your IP says you are in london.

you have not watched the debate. neither do you even know what is going on in lagos.

refrain from bashing candidates. rather, tell everyone what your candidate will do if in office

the nigerians in naija who watched the debate knwo what is up. read for yourself.

http://naijanaz..com/2007/03/got-lot-of-gist.html

http://notesfromnaija..com/2007/03/debate.html




Nairaland users, take heed!!

chocolat royal, 2pm, i will be wearing a jimi agbaje hat and a femi pedro shirt, just for you mr hoa2

i expect to see you there, as you want proof of my identity. i will PM my number right now if you want


llcoolg, femilangy, na una wey sabi urselvs, keep up the passion,



llcoolg, why was your candidate absent from the all important UNILAG debate?

naija4eva, and the =others that are undecided about who to vote for, i will try and upload the video, but i will hvave to go to cyber cafe in the mornign,k where the connection is much faster



the truth is we all have our own biases, for some of us, we have already made up our minds. no ammount of femilangy and kitaun and jimi agbaje himself will change our opinions.

its almost impossibe for us to be objective right now. which is understandable


in any case, election is around the corner. i suggest you tell your candidates to cross their teas and dot their eyeees


and refrain from integrity bashing. the peolpe of lagos are not foolish. they have seen people like pedro rise from humble beginnings, under the most scrutiny since he was in the banking industry, and then as deputy governor.


its remarkable how people forget that in the past four years, lagos did not, i repeat, did not, see any kind of crisis. this is because of the working relationship mr pedro had with his boss. even till today, pedro will be the first one to tell you, for him it is business as usual.



CHOCOLAT ROYAL, 2PM

storrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! mr Pedro is the only one who can call himself child of destiny. no dey thief another man's slogan


Mr Pedro is off the map? its funny how these internet people talk, LMAO


things are not what they seem my brother,

agbaje? win what? o boy una sabi lagos politics? LLCOOLG u and me know how and why agbaje is still in the race. this is like a chess board. agbaje is merely a pawn in this game. olujimi agbaje does not I REPEAT does not know the role he is playing in this master formula, or why he is in the race. i wont open can of warms here. in fact i will write a book on this: how Femi Pedro won Lagos.

this race will end up being between fashola and pedro. mark my words.


P.S. its funny how you went from femi pedro is too gentle and timid to rule lagos to femi pedro is too short tempered to rule lagos. ALL IN THE SPACE OF 1 WEEK. funny funny funny

mr pedro lack structure, yet they pulled a bastardic crowd for the march on saturday.


buba marwa? buba marwa? hahahahahaha, marwa is irrelevant politically, LLCOOLG, maybe u should be more concerned about the fact that even oga patapata is not on koro's side. tell Obj to explain why he has not come for one lagos rally, meanwhile he has gone for the others, and dont tell me 'he had to go to ghana' or 'he had other engagements', or 'yaradua was sick'. all that one na yarns.



things are not what they seem my brother,

well, you all did not watch the debate.

with regards to uninterrupted power supply, nepa has been unbundled, it is no longer monopolized. it will be a private sector initiative. basically, private companies will buy the rights to power in certain areas in lagos. and sell it directly to businesses and private people. sort of what they have in america (BGE).


i have the tape to the debate. i think it will do evryone a good service if i posted the video up. dat way all the questions you are raising about mr pedro, you will adress them there.

hoa62 i am not related to mr pedro oh! why the name calling?


in fact, why not ask your man jimi to tell us the circumstances under which pedro left gtb, since he knows something we all don't know. also, ask tinubu to explain to us why pedro cannot be trusted. the people who should be talking are the ones making reckless statmensts. hell, anyone can go on national tv to make baseless insinuations. the onus of proving lies with the instigator.


if femi pedro left gtb under questionable circumstances, how did he become an MD under the recommendation of the likes of fola adeola? or how is gtb on his side, and not even on jimi's side?  i wont even go there, thats story for another day



no matter how you want to look at this thing, april 14th is around the corner. go on the field and sell your candidacy, you are wasting your time if you think femi pedro's integrity is being quesitoned by anyone except for PM news.


in the meantime, be ready for more surprises, those who doubt pedro's political  savyness will see them materialize very soon.


P.S. jimi agbaje supporters, y'all need to go and focus on issues, don't drag mr. pedro into integrity questions. it is a waste of your time. why not stay in jimiagbaje.com creating different aliases for your man.


for the first time in nigeria's political history, NLC and its affiliates are set to play a big role in the elections.

abi na fear wey dey grip una? all of a sudden koro and fashola are no longer being bashed. focus has shifted to pedro? lol


@HOA62 and others, it will be foolish of me to divulge all my personal information on a website. surely, we do not know who 99 percent of the forum participants are. hell, i dont even know you, u and 20 other jimi agbaje aliases joined this forum in the space of 2 hrs!


clearly you are mistaken. i know bode pedro very well. he is the governor-elect's son, he is the youth co-ordinator and is on the campaign team, but he is no way related to or affiliated with me. if he is on this site, there is no way i would know.


your lack of objectivity amuses me. go back to the beginning of this post. from day 1, pedro and agbaje were my candidates. in fact, left for him being a member of afenifere (which from many years back ive had problems with) he would have been in closer contention.

the people who have been questioning femi pedro's integrity are jimi agbaje's campaign co-ordinators. everybody knows this is just politics. people have tried and tried to find flaws in pedro, and i can tell from the passionate responses about pedro clearing his name from the gtb fiasco that jimi's camp are very excited because this may have given them light at the tunnel, i mean, this is what you guys are saying "i wont vote for femi pedro because he has integrity issues" the sources of this are bola tinubu and jimi agbaje. LOL


sadly, this is far from the case,

it is a good thing pedro reacted that way. when someone makes an accusation that has no basis on national television, you must rise up and defend yourself aggressively. it quells all doubts about his character. i remember clearly. after pedro's response, the crowd applauded. they were not supposed to applaud. in fact the moderators begged them to stop. pedro challenged agbaje to defend his statement on national tv. agbaje kept quiet.

so i urge you agbaje people who did not watch the debate, but relied on what your people in lagos tell you to re-think your insinuations.

i emplore you to focus on winning votes for yourself, rather than trying to bring a candidate down. the layman on the street says pedro and koro came out tops in the debate. jimi still has work to do.


and then HOa2 talks about pedro lacking structure, well, that's your own cup of tea. no be structure wey dey win elections, neither does pre-paid newspaper articles, na votes, gba be. at the end of the day, you will see for yourself how the votes will tally

femi pedro will win this election.

in the coming days, a major announcement will be made. certain candidates will join certain folds. i think it will give many of us a clearer picture as to the chances of all these candidates.

i need not say much here. femilangy and llcoolg know all about me.

admins, abeg publish all our ips, lets know who is who,

kitaun, me no get nuthin to hide, i been don dey here from the jump,


hoa2's bashing of pedro is not going to win yur camp any more votes. dont bother yourself much


i doubt destiny's pictures where to be from the march. FP wore jumpsuits at the march, not agbada. neither did he ride in a car. in fact, those pictres are on his website from 3 weeks ago. go check for yourself


i will post another article i wrote in the ppers for you all 2moro morning.

http://www.guardiannewsngr.com/news/article08


the march was unbelievable. you had to be there to see it. femi pedro walked from maryland to national stadium, it was an unprecedented  feat.


this is not rent-a-crowd here, this was some real genuine stuff!

its hard a put a number to the total people, but they had huge boxes where the unemployed put CVs, as of last nigth they said there were 70,000 unemployed cvs,


never before has nigeria (not to talk of lagos) seen such a thing,

i can bet my bottom dollar that hoa62 is one of mr agbaje's internet IDs,

jimi agbaje was never- i repeat never- on gtb board of directors. his daddy was chairman, his brother was a gm.

hoa62 (aka jimi agbaje) i dont know which one amuses me more- your stupidity or your ignorance. femi pedro left gtb after spending close to 10 years at the bank as the assistnt general manager to becme MD of first altantic bank. that is what we call a promotion. ignorance is a disease.

pedro did not steal one kobo. if he did, dont u think tinubu would have brought that out by now? tinubu made a reckless statement and tinubu already apologized to pedro in a private meeting chaired by pastor adeboye, so dont come here acting like you know what is going on. hiss.

labour doesnt have structure? i heard thats what you went to tell the CAN leaders the other day. mr jimi, you are fooling yourself.
april 14th, u and ur people will see labour turnout. we dont even need to wait till then. why not go for their million man march 2moro.

pedro came up with brt and other things.



tell me what you have read in pedro's manifesto. back up your talk with facts.


administrators, ban this guy. he is chatting opata here. hisss

Haha, after watching debate yestrday, agbaje is the man? you are a dreamer. even fashola did better than him. its a shame that some of you will come on this webstie and question femi pedro's integrity. look, agbaje was desperate yesterday- the commmon man knows and saw that.  femi pedro left gtb with his integrity intact. he left first atlantic with his integrity intact. he is going to move to alausa with his integrity intact. there's no point wasting time on that issue.



platnum (aka jimi agbaje himself), for you to come on here calling pedro a fraud is more than a travesty. you must be jimi agbaje himself, because he is the only one who will stoop that low because of desire to win election


jimi, u will not succeed.

you have not managed anybody. (aside from 20 employees in jaykay pharmacy). you have not acheived antyhing on meritocracy, just family name. you and pedro are not on the same managerial level. pedro worked his way to the top. he is the most transparent of the candidates. jimi has just shown us his true colors more and more,

when tinubu calls him out and says he cannot be trusted, that is tinubu and his sinking ship being desperate. nobody expects pedro to take such accusations seriously. moreover, in the 4 years as his deputy, not ONCE did tinubu say anything to this effect,  so don't be stupid and come up here acting like u kno what d hell you're talking about jimi agbaje,


i used to have respect for you, but i have lost all respect for you. since january i had been parading you as a credible candidate, but for you lot to come here trying to defragment someone else's character is true to your desperation.

i urge you all to stay away from this man called jimi agbaje. he is the true fraud. any other candidate you can vote for. but not this man. 

the man who has been shouting that we should not vote for the same of the same, happens to be the same of the same. disgrace.





on a brighter note, NLC is organizing 2 million man march for pedro tommorow. be there.

@ bolaoni on a given day, the debate is meant to be just a mere formality with very little impact, but this time around it is very diifferent, as you can imagine the field is really spread out, and there's a large chunk of voters who will vote based on yesterday


it is very good that there seems to be a lot of transparency this time around. lagosians know who they r goin to vote for



in the meantime check out ths link, it shows u some of the excitement about femi pedro that resides with the people
http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-1158508808239939037&q=femi+pedro


its a bit long but its nice and funny

@kakad, there were no winners, but there was A loser, i was shocked and dissapointed at jimi's approach last night, it showed his immaturity and desperation, in all honesty, jimi lost votes,

same of the same finally admits to being the same of the same as well, "mr afenifere", your strategy is backfiring

whats even more dissapointing is that HE actually lost votes tonight, he effectively ruled himself out of the race,

all others did an OK job,

juvenile hit the nail in the coffin.

@ kitaun, FP's debate on ltv just proved the the whole world the big mistake tinubu made by sidestepping his deputy. by taking responsibility for the actions of an administraiton he worked in for 4 years, he showed the whole lagos that he would take blame when the ship is sinking, rather than trade accusations. im sorry but evryone saw a true leader in femi pedro

@upson talk to your guy to hop on labour's camp,

@ mustay, if you go back to my posts from january, ive maintained that agbaje and pedro are the best 2 candidates, i mean a lot of people are clamouring for change, but the reality on ground is that your man agbaje[b] lacks managerial experience[/b] men. that debate actually hurt him the most, because everyone had been comapring him to FP prior to sunday. FP opened him up, he has NO experience whatsoever, money he has, experience he doesnt. how do we know if he will get the job done? pedro has been in the drivers seat,

@femilangy and the other koro peeps,
all of una go see next month now, no shakin


NLC SET HOLD 2-MILLION UNION RALLY FOR FEMI PEDRO THIS SATURDAY (BE THERE!)
http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2007/mar/22/national-22-03-2007-07.htm

how will you compare pedro to atiku? pedro was not indicted for stealing money

he is not wasting time and energy abusing his boss, despite being schemed out


d bobo dey campaign to the people


i am effectively signing off until close to the elections, i have articles to write. all the best to you and your candidates

all these yarns na yarns,

pdp and ac will fail in their plan to out-rig each other. wait and see


election is 20 something days ahead,

half of the registered voters have already made up thier minds who they are gonna vote for. the other half wont even bother to show face at the polls.


koro- if koro is going through all this as a candidate, imagine the hell lagos will suffer if he wins. for the first 3 and a half years, all we will experience is abusing and counter abusing, fighitng and counter-fighting, and a total lack of governance. he will not succeed


Agbaje- his inexperience showed on sunday. in this race, vision vision does not count for jack. experience and demonstrating ability to get the job done is the key criteria. he showed lack of both on sunday

gbajabiamilla- truth be told, he is a difficult sell

adikwu bakare- no comment

afikuyomi- no comment

uche- she fine sha

salis no comment

fashola- they are loosing momentum. ac can only spend so much money

pedro- ride on brother!







20 something days to go fellas!


femilangy, labour party is accepting members

clearly u dont know pedro or lagos politics.

pedro grew up in ikoyi ke? get ur facts right. until 1998, pedro used to live in ISOLO. GO AND ASK THEM THERE.

pedro was born and raised in epetedo so wat r u saying?

pedro used to punish koro and his thugmates at ahmadiya college so wat r u saying?

like koro, pedro went to america to study. the only difference is that pedro came back to make a professional living. ive known koro since he was in ebute metta. he has always been known as an omooota


pedro and koro are neigbours in park view, so wat r u saying?

na because pedro na banker, u think sey he aint grounded in eko? listen to his advert, "O" na for Omo EKO GAN GAN!!!

in fact this our conversation only proves the backwardness of some of these koro campagingers. "dont vote for pedro because he is not in touch with the real world", U NO WASH DEBATE YESTERDAY? oh i forgot, you koro supporters are too busy breaking bottles on peoples heads, i will summarize it for u, yesterday proved that pedro has the most knowlege and experience to govern lagos,


my guy, lagos does not need an a-gbe-ro. it needs a c-e-o, so it can catch up with modern world. sorry we dont want to lag behind like  fayose-led ekiti, or adedibu-led oyo. lagos is the center of excellence. the center must be excellent.

im ready to put money down, lagos island is a done deal for labour party. go there today, everyone is wearing destiny caps


im headin back to work before they fire me

madejibo where did you hear pedro criticize tinubu? show me one internet link, show me an aritcle, sorry pedro does not involve himself in such frivolties to be abusing and counter-abusing tinubu.

and where did u hear that pedro is looking for elite votes? my guy, shine your lagos eyes well well, labour party don full ground, who do you think makes up the majority of labour party? corporate people? lol, u miss road there, we are talking about TUC, NLC, NUPENG, NURTW, PFN endorsing someone, you are talking about elite people? the majority of the voters are members of the formal and informal sector, they are all members of one LABOUR UNION OR THE OTHER,

whether or not the debate is aired by ltv, or state house, hell, even if the moderator was tinubu himself, that does not justify koro's absence. if you ask me, it even proves my earlier thesis about koro right,

debate does not make or break elections, but it DOES convince people that the candidates know/dont know what they r doing, simple and short,

in any case all this one na yarns. april 14 is around d corner, i can tell you one thing tho, even ur PDP leaders in abuja are loosing confidence in koro's ability to win lagos, "to be fore-warned is to be fore-armed"

i rest my case
