I'm Still In PDP But PDP Will Lose Osun Election ––Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo answering questions at the MMII concerning the August 9th Osun State Guber Election from African Torch Newspaper.

Are you still a member of the PDP, people like Fayose, Buruji Kasamu and Bode George have alleged that you are already discussing with the opposition?

I am still a member of the PDP. Or do you want to pursue me out of PDP (laughs). Don't forget, I am founding member of PDP, a party under which banner I became the President for 8years. I was later made the Chairman BoT. Why will I leave PDP?... PDP is a very big family, the largest party in Africa. When the time comes, we would re-unite and tighten loose end.

OSUN ELECTIONS: Rice, Kerosene Distribution Not For Election - PDP

The Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has said it has been distributing food items and kerosene to residents of the state for years, especially during festive periods, before it began its campaign for the forthcoming governorship election.


The Publicity Secretary of Osun PDP, Mr. Bola Ajao, told our correspondent that the party has been distributing several tonnes of rice, litres of kerosene, to show that it cares for the people, and denied insinuations that the party was using such items to induce voters.

He said, “This is Africa, in Africa we are known for being our brother’s keepers. So, what we are doing, distributing rice and kerosene, is to show that we care for the people of Osun State.

OSUN CAMPAIGN: Lagbaja Rejects Iyiola Omisore’s Offer, Blasts Him Instead

Muiscian Lagbaja over the weekend reportedly turned down an offer by the Iyiola Omisore Campaign Organisation to perform at the grand finale rally & reception for Pres. Jonathan scheduled to hold in Osogbo, Osun State, next week.

PDP'S POLITICS OF OKADA, GUGURU AND RICE

Politics in Nigeria has changed. President Jonathan is spending over N500million to feed in Aso Rock, the 36 state governors are spending their own millions too. So, any politician who want votes from the masses must be ready to deliver in the area of #StomachInfrastructure. It doesn't matter if the bag of Rice will last for only one month, it is far better than nothing. This is the new order: Build Roads but Feed the peoples' Stomach!

Also, the government of Lagos State should know that many people are angry with the way things are going on in the state. In fact, the LASTMA guys are terrible. They collect money - between N10,000 to N50,000 for any flimsy excuse from motorist. How do you expect such people to vote for APC in 2015? I doubt!

And the KAI people in Lagos are very heartless. They arrest elderly women and young girls selling their wares on the road side and they lock these people inside a "Black Maria". Are they condemned criminals? How on earth do you expect these same people to ever vote for you in their lifetime? I strongly doubt!

Those big men and women who live in the highbrow areas that you develop with billions of Naira, please note that a mass majority of them do not vote during elections. It is the poor people that LASTMA and KAI are treating like common criminals over minor offences that would vote. See a clear example below...







NO SANE SOCIETY WOULD ACCEPT THIS, THE POLITICIANS WOULD BE SANCTIONED. INEC IS FAILING IN ITS DUTY

PHOTO: PDP Candidate In Osun Election Trying To Copy Fayose (MUST SEE)

What will Nigerians not see and hear from their politicians! No wonder Governor Foshola said Ayo Fayose's victory is a big threat to purposeful leadership.

So, because Fayose shared Rice and rode with Okada men on the streets of Ekiti during his campaign, Oyiola Omisore too has decided to copy the strategy for Osun election?

Will the people of Osun State  vote for this packaging too? Hmmmm..... watching!!
