ReplyDeleteCongratulations to him
ReplyDeleteCongrats to him
ReplyDeleteHmmmm.
ReplyDeleteAfter the alleged vote buying?okay o, congratulations to him.
Vote buying my foot. If you think anyone can buy Ekiti people with anything, then you don't know them.
DeleteHow many incidents of vote buying?
ReplyDeletePlease face the fact that ground work wins elections.
I think Ekiti people were rather too relaxed this time around and not coming out given the enviable performance of the governor and his politics of unifying all leaders as well as clear popularity over other candidates.
Osun will be tougher because of the unwritten zoning pattern but if they are able, like Oyebanji and Gov Sunday, to point out that that money and development is due to removing impoverishing subsidy regime by the president and the president's largesse to the states, they could click it over pity votes. Omisore will bury himself by befriending Adeleke. With what happened in Osun previous elections, he knows he wasn't cheated.
Adeleke is likable but those who are really governing are not on the ballot and you need someone with vision and capacity to deliver, not good vibes. For what the governor is getting, it's clear he's not prepared for governance in this age.
It's unfortunate that so many governors lack the capacity to build systems like this president and still, they stifle the LGAs which could serve as Petri dishes for new ideas and localise solutions and deliverables. For Tinubu to have thought like that in 1999, it took serious guts and it's paying off so well today.
A lot of people think it is about their overrated social media noise.
ReplyDeleteAisha Yesufu, Zecheri or DM can make noise but na real people go vote.
i am happy that some of these fake activists got real life experience in their recent attempt to join politics in the so-called party of angels who have no sin.
