theV0ice :

I never really took to ojuyobo (i see that name from his first tenure as gov has been dropped ) but I cant discountenance his politically astuteness. The man has foresight and understands politics inside out.



Tinubu will never have the impact awo had and still has on Yoruba people as awo's impact transcends politics but Nigerian politics will never forget him. He knew the power of political compromise. An attribute awo terribly lacked.



My only problem with gmb's victory is that opposition politics is dead in Nigeria. Those gifted in it have been pushed to the centre.

This line in your comment gave you away as someone who knows the trends in Nigerian politics.



In the first republic, we were in opposition.

In the second republic, we were in opposition.

When Abiola built alliances and won, the election was canceled. We were in NADECO, also in opposition.



When OBJ was imposed on the country, we found ourselves both in power (nominally) but essentially in opposition (Alliance for Democracy).

When PDP rigged SW, it was Tinubu that built ACN, the most organised opposition political party

It was Tinubu that engineered the alliance that crystallized into APC.



Where is Orji kalu's PPA?

Where is APGA and peter Obi that used to be the face of APGA?



The real challenge now is the East has never really played a traditional opposition role. Will they rise up to the occasion and provide a vibrant opposition? can they reform PDP ? Let wait and see.
