Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom on Wednesday presented Mr Udom Emmanuel and Jimi Agbaje, PDP governorship candidates in his state and Lagos respectively, to the Akwa Ibom indigenes resident in Lagos.

NAN reports that the event, which took place at the National Theatre Iganmu, drew a large number of Akwa Ibom people resident in Lagos.

Addressing the gathering, Akpabio urged the people to vote for Udom and Agbaje for governorship and for President Goodluck Jonathan in the presidential election.

He told the people that Udom was the best man for the job in Akwa Ibom. “Udom will continue with the consolidation of my istration’s lofty programmes and policies for Akwa Ibom,” he said.

In his speech, Agbaje assured the people that come Feb. 14, Jonathan would win in Lagos and that on Feb. 28, the whole of the state would vote for him.

“We are not going to discriminate like they have been doing in Lagos,” he said.

Agbaje said that a PDP government in Lagos would accommodate everyone in the state because it was the home of all.

“I always tell people that Lagos will be a village if non-indigenes are not in Lagos. You are one of the major drivers of the economy in Lagos and I urge you to vote for the PDP for change,” he said.

In his speech, Udom pledged to continue with the good work and agenda of Akpabio for Akwa Ibom.

He assured the people of greater development in the next dispensation, if elected.

This Jimi Agbaje Guy Can't Be Taken serious..

Like seriously?

Awon akotileta
Ebi afonja ati akintola
These idiotz will do or say anything to be a king. Including selling their own people.
The history of YORUBALAND is clearly written and documented in thousands of books and publications.
He know that omoluabis will never vote for a criminal party ,full of agents of feudalism and regression.
And as such, the bone head is pandering to the votes from the east like afonja.
Unfortunately for him, the votes of the more civic minded traditionalist and Muslims amongst omoluabis easily dwarfs those votes he is pandering to .that is before we start talking about the professional class and the Christian votes.

A village like this 50's lagos?

OP no source?

Jimi is a scaremongering cockerel of a person talking about a SS rebellion under an inevitable GMB presidency. Lagos is too big for such feeble minds.
Ambode is ahead of Jimi in class and tenacity.

Akpabio may have done some projects in Akwa-Ibom but his heavy involvement in the 16 > 29 NGF saga is his albatross. He lost his integrity therefore has no moral beacon to advise anyone on who to vote for.


GMB 2015. Anticorruption is in our DNA.

It was occupied by colonial masters then.
Check pictures of Oshogbo or Abeokuta for a better idea of what the man means.

Jimi is really bringing out his real colours. Hmmm

Spot on!

But don't you think the man has a point?

You are not more Yoruba than Jimi, so keep shut

Around the same time the British made it the colonial capital of Nigeria. Keep deceiving yourself. ode!

How many colonials?
Maybe they built ibadan,agbarra + ilupeju +otta in ogun + ikeja+ industrial estate , oluyole industrial estate in ibadan on which the middle class was and is still anchored,as well.
He can ponders as much as he likes,he does not change the facts.

The yorubas are city dwellers.
We were living in cities before most of Europe even knew what a village was.
It is the charm of our liberal cities and town( opportunity and safety in number) which attract immigrants from afar to our lands.

KEY FACTS
we have no villages.
We have
Cities
Towns
Farming settlements(whomever you find in a settlement comes from a town or city where you will find their family home).
Farming settles sometimes grow into towns.
Ogun indigen practically own lagos . They are the rainmaker. They move their money and endearvour today, the part of lagos that does not belong to them instantly collapses.

Anyway ,let it be a village.we prefer the village.
Like ibadan whose development was arrested by the devious manipulations,rigging and coup of the 60's ,70's.

Jimi Agbaje is really foo.lish to say the least if he allows divisive politicians like Akpabio to teleguide him and pin his election mantra on the altar of ethnoreligious bigotry

It is for the same divisive tendencies that will make GEJ lose election in Feb..........All i can tell Jimi Agbaje is to keep it up,by the time he loses,he wont say they didnt tell him

What exactly is his point? He wants to take us back to the village? I don't get this guy.

This Agbaje guy will better off as a stand up comedian. What a clown!

Say or do Anything to get into power.
If (God forbid) he eventually get there , he will use the same method to govern.
Eventually, they will end up causing a major crisis.

Lagos was NOT a village before non-indigenous people came.

Anyway, we can try it out and see! Let the non-indigenous vacate Lagos first.

Talk talk! Ko si nkankan ti a sele.

This boy Jimi Agbaje is losing the elections softly.

Ilekeh:
Lagos was NOT a village before non-indigenous people came. It was a growing hub, thanks to businesses such as groundnut.

Go and reread your history.
Even prior to those times.
Lagos was already a thriving seaport before the Portuguese set foot on this shores in the 1600s.
Together ŵith igbokoda in Ondo state and badagry , lagos was a centre of trade with the other great empires and Kingdom of west Africa like songhai,massa musa.
Gold , Ivory , food , artworks , farming implements , textile ,jewelry,clay and ceramic cookware ,kolanut ornaments,metal work were part of the exports and imports.
Definitely not groundnut.
Even today igbokoda has retained those ancient trading routes with the West African subregion

Thank you for that education

I'm telling u. I always thought of him to be better than normal PDP people but he has brought himself to their level

Buddha monk is viewing the thread,





truth hurts

Is Jimi for real? How can you speak ill of your own land just because you seek power? Lagos Indigens and residents should reject Jimi not only in 2015 but in every other office that he may seek in future

What do you expect from a certified failure with no sense of history.

It is just like expecting Tomak/int to say something nice about Yorubas.

Meanwhile Sai Buhari

See the next President of Nigeria with his youthful swagger

Ironically / Sadly most of the Yorubas angry with Jimi Agbaje's statement are not even Lagos indigenes. Their home towns in the South-west are indeed villages with brown rusted roof tops.

JK is OK

absurd statement because of VOTE and you knows the TRUTH.
