ReplyDeleteit is high time our Oga, Tinubu, who is a bonafide Yoruba leader of today, know that it is always good to allow democracy to reign internally in ACN. The type of bigwig ACN paraded in Ondo requires level-playing and not god-fatherism. I congratulate the Iroko himself and wish him success in his bid to give Ondo State a facelift. ACN should also know that Ondo State deserves a Muslim deputy governor in their future politicaneering in Ondo State.
ReplyDeleteWE THANK ALMIGHTY ALLAH THAT HE HAS PUT TO SHAME THE SELF ACLAIMED ACN LEADER WHO CAME TO OUR STATE IN COMPANY OF BAD LOOSERS EXCEPT TO TRY TO DEMORALISED THE WELL CALCULATIVE AND POLITICAL ONDO PEOPLE.
ReplyDeleteTHE VICTORY OF LABOUR IS SIMPLY THE WORK OF GOD AND THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF ALL ONDO PEOPLE IRRESPECTIVE OF OUR POLITICAL DIVERGENCE.
I AM AN ONDO MAN.
INEC WON THE ELECTION IN ONDO,PERIOD.
ReplyDeleteNo amount of money can buy the hearts of the people of our sunshine state. The people see it as insult when Tinubu and his losers group came spraying N1,000 notes on the streets. Please, let all Nigerians learn and practice Ondo State type of politics where money means nothing to the people. It's been said that the ondos are the real democrats in the country. Nigerian politicians should learn from the fall of Obasanjo and Tinubu in Ondo State, godfatherism is not welcome in the state, we are highly enlightened to lead ourselves without no one dictating the paste of things to us.
