* says I Will Never APC

Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

Chief Ebenezer Babatope, former Minister of Transport on Saturday said those plotting to make the South-West irrelevant in the affaira of the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) will be put to shame.

Speaking with INDEPENDENT, Babatope who was the Director-General of the Bode George Campaign Organisation said he and other Yoruba leaders in the PDP will make it a fight to finish with those plotting to relegate the zone to the background.

He also denied reports that he is planning to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) describing the report as “tissues of lies”.

“We are going to battle it out in PDP and i have no reason to go anywhere. Those who want to destroy the Yoruba race we will never leave them alone”.

“We will allow the PDP to destroy itself but i will never leave PDP for APC. Those linking me with APC are just telling lies. I am not ing APC for anything”.
“The Yoruba will never accept any attempt to insult our people and denigrate our collective intelligence” he said

Capital nonsense
AFONJAS with their usual ranting....
Everybody is afraid of betrayers....even APC
Who want to be betrayed again....

Who is the chairman of APC?

“We will allow the PDP to destroy itself but i will never leave PDP for APC."

Those words are very weighty.

I refuse to believe he said this.

Rotten teeth

It's Unfortunate That PDP National Convention Was Allowed To Degenerate Into Battle For Tribal Supremacy.

Leadership Qualities Of Aspirants & Their Agenda Were Relegated To The Background.

We Have A Long Way To Go In This Country

Why him open mouth like person wey dey shout "ahh! iwor!"

These guys should stop wailing jare. When they were winning, did he tell us? you lost in the game of politics abeg

Dust yourselves up and plan for the next one

congrats to Secondus and his team

They are the ones playing the tribal game everytime. Over a hundred yoruba delegates voted against the SW candidate. Nobody is after the yorubas but themselves.

Abeg make we hear word.If you seriously want your voice to be heard in PDP, baba deliver SW to PDP.Next person please

"Hypocrisy of logic ". The Yorubas in PDP will band together and help PDP to self destruct for whose advantage??....APC obviously, and yet they will not leave PDP.
Yorubas voted in Buhari not because they love Nigeria. Far from it, They hate Nigerians but love Nigeria, just like Buhari they voted in.
For 2019 presidential election, they(some) will work as insiders in PDP for self destruction. Mr Bode are telling the Igbos in PDP that, they are plotting to destroy the Yoruba race, because Igbos may have found their voice in this new PDP after the Yorubas plotted for their political extinction in APC(almost 50 years after they ed in genocide war against Igbos).

This is the clearest indication that the Yorubas will go at any length(even if it involves mutual annihilation) to prevent Igbos from ascending the political ladder in Nigeria. It also indicates the Yorubas willingness to permanently destroy the Igbos politically and economically, and yet will not allow Igbos to part ways with them.

It is a tit for tat Cold War and I am happy the PDP has been destroyed. Atiku is just unlucky to have associated with the PDP at this point when the igbos doubled down on their “i before others” politics in the one time biggest political party in Africa. He has lost the 2019 elections before the first poll was even casted.

The media industrial complex of the SW will go into overdrive to demystify the easterners who we have helped over the years. The 2019 showdown has just begun.

Nonsense. I have lived in the midst of yoruba people and they can be petty tribalistic at times. They are quickly turning this into a tribal affair because their candidate didn't win. To be honest they had all it took to get the position but they didn't deploy, so whose fault?

They didn't get chairman but they got deputy chairman for south. You don't always have your way in life. This entitlement attitude of overspoilt babies will not help anyone. Just suck it. The chairmanship is a quite useless position. Especially after elections.

Yes, we lost this one but our people feel cheated (I don’t who why though). This however plays into our script to ensure that Atiku is messed up by association with the igbos. Sad for a man who has been trying to be President since 1993. He would just have to lose the elections since the igbos haves hijacked the party, a clear danger signal to we yorubas.

what are you trying to say man? Didn't you read in the News recently that SE caucus in the PDP were working with their SS counterparts to deny SW the chairmanship position of the party? Addres issue with open mind pls.

Igbos in PDP made sure SW lost that position to secondus.

Ordinary no-show for PDP national chairmanship, these loudmouthed goons are already crying marginalization and irrelevancy.

SW are in the minority in current PDP affairs. 5%

Who SW epp?

I refuse to believe he said this.

what he is saying is that he will leave for APC after PDP finishes destroying itself.
Useless party.

Ebino Topsy is merely earning his pay.

What is this one saying?

Wike has singlehandedly relegated the yorubas.

He has impressed me....

I'm still trying to understand the bruhaha just becos the yorubas did not get the chairmanship position, if atiku thinks he can win the election with the SE and SS alone , so be it, we will see how it would turn out in 2019, it's their time to shine , let them be abeg

It was Tinubu that sold south west to APC, so go and tell him directly

If the South East & South South pitch their tent with the North while ignoring the South West then I can say we never learn.

Was Buhari not warned not to visit Ogoni?

Yet Osinbanjo was welcomed?

When Osinbajo visited Anambra was he not welcomed?

Buhari was not welcomed at all.

The South of Nigeria is full of Mumus

if pdp can't get their acts together
then buhari has just won the second term

i expect the pdp to give the apc team a good chase

Why are these people whining like cry babies? Ordinary PDP chairmanship is what is giving them sleepless nights. You want to be captain of a ship you deserted in 2015? Wike has shown you people that he is a Rivers man. Even their Homo Erectus Half-Man Half-Primate hip Card tearing Baba can't comprehend this Blame una mouth-odor tout-in-chief for diverting to Apc and being kicked out!
