Yes means yes. If you read the promise(Folanke's threat), you'd find I specifically said "Backroom". Does that solve the riddle?

Tragedy befell the Ogun State branch of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as one of the party's gubernatorial aspirants, Chief Dele Arojo, was on Monday night shot dead by unknown assailants.
Arojo who was in the turn of Yewa in the governorship position of the state was said to have been shot dead at Egbeda in Alimoso Local Government in Lagos State at about 9 pm on Monday.
Sources said the aspirant, a computer and communication expert, was on his way home from office after the day's work when he was killed.
It was gathered that the assassins, said to have operated on a motorcycle, caught up with Arojo in his car and shot him in the head.
He was said to have died immediately and his corpse later deposited at the Ikeja General Hospital Mortuary.
Commenting on the incident in a telephone interview, PDP Chairman in Ogun State, Chief Olalekan Ishola Ojo, described the event as the most disheartening occurence.
Describing Arojo as a peace loving and complete gentleman, who had been pursuing his aspiration in the most decent manner, Ojo said PDP would soon officially react to the killing.
He said PDP and the Lagos State Police Command would work together to unravel the killers and the reasons behind it.
Ojo disclosed that he had already informed the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Tafa Balogun, about the incident.
Arojo was a man of many parts. Apart from being a successful information technologist, he was a lawyer and a chartered marketers, combining the running of a computer school with his busy schedule.

You feel sorry for those who put their trust in a corrupt system. Sacrifice in the pursuit to serve is good, but sacrifice in a place like Nigeria figuratively speaking, is like building a castle or mansion on a foundation of sand, surrounded by a rubbish heap.
An unnecessary loss and a waste of effort.

The festering feud between prominent Ibadan politician, Alhaji Lamidi Adedibu and Governor Rasheed Ladoja snowballed into violence yesterday as supporters of both PDP leaders clashed in Ibadan.
The clash came just as houses of three AD leaders were burnt by the people suspected to be agents of political rivals.
During yesterday's clash the campaign rostrum prepared for Ladoja to campaign for the Saturday council polls in the Ibadan South West Local Government destroyed.
Ladoja is on campaign tour of the state in preparation for council polls.
Trouble occurred when street urchins a.k.a. area boys numbering over 40 invaded the Oke-Ado Shopping Complex venue of the campaign and destroyed all the campaign posters after pulling down the rostrum.
Armed with cutlasses and axes, the thugs who came in four buses including a Mazda sent PDP supporters waiting for Ladoja scampering for the safety of their lives.
As the pandemonium lasted, shop owners and nearby banks hurriedly closed for business to avoid looting.
It was learnt that many people were injured during the stampede but no life was lost.
However, spokesman of the PDP in the Ibadan South West Alhaji Liadi Okenla described the incident as the handiwork of Alhaji Adedibu's supporters whom he said were opposed to the choice of the chairmanship candidates in the state alleged to be "stooges of Ladoja.
Meanwhile, Senator Abiola Ajimobi AD senator representing Oyo South District petitioned the Inspector General of Police alleging that people suspected to be PDP supporters engaged in arson against AD leaders in the state.

Even "uncle" Bola's effigy has not been spared the wetie treatment.
quote: Yoroba thugs injure 15 at unveiling of Ige's statue in Osun Guardian Thursday, March 25 2004 From Seun Adeoye, Osogbo A CEREMONY to unveil the statue of the late Minister of Justice, Chief Bola Ige turned violent on Tuesday night in Esa-Oke, Osun State as persons suspected to be thugs invaded the venue. No fewer than 15 people were reportedly injured at the event, where the former Chairman of Obokun Local Council, Mr. Sunday Ojo, was opening the late Ige's statue built by his administration.
Violence allegedly broke out when Ojo turned the occasion to a political campaign rally, asking the people to vote for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its chairmanship candidate at the Saturday local council polls.
He had barely finished his address when some people invaded the venue armed with dangerous weapons like cutlass, cudgel, iron rod and dane guns.
In the melee that ensued, over 15 persons were wounded with some of them having matchet cuts.
The police, meanwhile, have arrested the alleged attackers of the convoy of one-time governor of the state, Otunba Isiaka Adeleke while on a campaign tour of Ede, his hometown.
About three vehicles were reportedly damaged during the attack by persons believed to be opposed to the PDP in the community.
The suspects are being detained at the State Intelligence Investigation Bureau (SIIB) in Ayetoro, Osogbo, a top police officer disclosed yesterday.
The frenzied situation in the town has made the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Mr. Adejare Bello to petition the police over threat by some people to burn his house.
Bello told reporters that he took the action to avert full scale violence in the area.
Meanwhile, to garner support for Alliance for Democracy (AD) at the council polls, Lagos State Governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu yesterday took the party's campaign to the state. The governor will address supporters in Ikiri, Ile-Ife, Ilesa and Ijarun. The PDP has already ended its campaign tour of all the 30 councils in the state.
The chairman of the State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC), Justice Adedotun Sijuwade has met with representatives of all the five political parties, participating in the council elections.
He urged them to be concerned with how to improve the standard of living instead of killing innocent people.
Sijuwade also appealed to the parties to caution their candidates and supporters against taking the laws into their hands because everyone is equal before the law.
He reminded them that election time was not a period to display hooliganism or acts of lawlessness "as there is no need for violence, acrimony and use of abusive language."

Ladoja, Adedibu’s supporters in shoot-out
By Sola Shittu
Reporter, Ibadan
Violence has erupted in Ibadan, the political capital of the South West, in the run-up to the council polls holding on Saturday. Although political violence is not strange to the ancient city, this time, the mayhem is fast spreading to other parts of Oyo State.
Supporters of Governor Rashidi Ladoja and those of Lamidi Adedibu Thursday engaged in a gun battle in Molete area of Ibadan, leaving at least one person injured, now on a danger list in the hospital.
There were reports of an outbreak of violence at Igboho, Oke-Ogun area of the state, where no fewer than 14 houses were razed, including that of Dibu Ojerinde, national secretary of the National Examinations Council (NECO).
Ladoja declared Thursday he was in power both as governor and as one who controlled the entire state. Addressing a rally at Oke-Ado market, he said when he was about to assume office, many people thought he would be a stooge to some political power brokers, but that he had since proved the cynics wrong.

P.M. News (Lagos)
March 16, 2004 Posted to the web March 16, 2004
Lagos
Determined to curb the rising wave of crimes in the country, the police have set up a task force to recover illegal firearms in the country.
The task force, according to a top aide in the office of the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), would embark on house to house search for illegal arms used in perpetrating crimes in the country.
P.M.News reliably gathered that the task force is made up of top detectives from the office of the IGP, informants and top police officers from the state commands.
The aim of the search, P.M.News further learnt, is to arrest all illegal arms dealers in the country and confiscate their weapons.
P.M.News gathered that the search would cover small arms manufacturers at Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi in Anambra State where arms are sold indiscriminately.
Inaugurating the task force yesterday in Abuja, the IGP, Mr. Tafa Balogun, disclosed that the task force became necessary in order to put a stop to the incessant armed attacks against prominent politicians in the country.
Mr. Balogun also disclosed that the task force was set up to recover all unauthorised arms in possession of unscrupulous elements in the country.
The task force which would be set up in all the 12 zonal commands of the police, would each be commanded by an Assistant Commissioner of Police with four other senior police officers.
The team would report to the zonal AIG, while the office of the AIG would monitor their operations.
The task force is also to seek and obtain information on persons in possession of illegal arms.

quote:Tinubu threatens court action against Fayose
By Lekan Sanni
Correspondent, Lagos
Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu of Lagos State threatened Monday to go to court over an infringement of his human rights in Ekiti State at the weekend.
He has demanded a public apology from the Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose.
Tinubu, who spoke after he received in audience, Ogun State Governor, Gbenga Daniel, said he will formally write to President Olusegun Obasanjo to find out if he had a prior knowledge of what happened.
The governor wondered when he became a security risk to the extent that troops would be sent to hold him hostage along with two former governors.
Said he: “I am informing the President formally in writing because the men are real military personnel. Their deployment should not have been done. I want to know if the President is aware and why and when do I pose a threat to the peace and stability of another state simply because I attended a funeral ceremony of a commissioner’s mother.
“The event was well known to the people. It started from the church to the reception. How did the political environment degenerate into this level of misuse of power.
“After that, I will take the next course of action. I will deal with the situation within the legal framework. The matter is not closed yet.”
Tinubu said Fayose was well aware that he was attending a social function in the state.
He added: “I went to a social event and that social event involved an indigene of a state to be honoured by myself and my entourage. It was not a political event. He (Fayose) was adequately informed.
“If I was now held under house arrest for those number of hours, OGD’s presence does not explain where there is a breakdown and abuse of power, excessive use of the military where it is not necessary and where my fundamental human rights were infringed upon.
“Election or no election, as an ordinary citizen, I have the right to go about in this country and be able to do things within the law and if as a governor, I have to be kept under house arrest because I am in the company perceived to be a political rival or opponent, the danger is clear. What are the ordinary people experiencing within that environment?”
Tinubu said by Fayose’s action, he has offended Lagosians and should apologise to them.
Daniel said he read about the event in the papers, explaining that a communication breakdown must have occurred somewhere. But he stressed that the issue will be resolved amicably and that Fayose himself may visit Tinubu soon over the matter.
I wonder why Tinubu allowed himself to be taken through all the 'wahala'. Common courtesy demands that the sitting governor of a state be officially notified of the visit of another state governor, regardless of party affiliations or cultural bent. Of course, it is high-handed for a host governor to set the dogs of war on another governor when such is his host. I guess the country has a lot to learn from this unfortunate incident. And of course this does not rank anywhere near the barbaric detention of a governor inside a latrine and his purported removal by an illiterate moneybag in Anambra state, the Igbo "center of excellence".

"And of course this does not rank anywhere near the barbaric detention of a governor inside a latrine and his purported removal by an illiterate moneybag in Anambra state, the Igbo "center of excellence"."
I was just going to publish Fayose's stellar resume culminating in his forged or is it stolen degree from some little known polythenic in Oshobgo. Then I realized I would also have had to put up the Asiwaju's equally stellar achievement in Chicago. In all I realized that neither men may have been genuinenly more educated than the Anambra "illiterate " money bag, so I decided to let the "shofisticated governors" be.
It all boils down to if you will prefer to be locked up in a latrine by a drunken Yoruba policeman, or caged in a mansion by irate savages.

Addy Are you serious? you of all people who live in this free country. wow, Governor Arnold swarsnegger is currently vacationing in Hawaii, does he have to first of all inform the Governor of Hawaii that he is coming to Hawaii for vacation. Na wa for yoruba double face and double talk o. If this had been a Hausa in ASO rock your tune would have been different o. Trouble de sleep iyanga go wake m up o.
Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State will soon visit his Lagos State counterpart, Bola Tinubu to sort out their differences over the recent "detention" of Tinubu alongside two former AD governors- Chief Olusegun Osoba and Niyi Adebayo at Iyin Ekiti.
Indications to this effect were revealed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Ekiti State Government, Mr Idowu Adelusi.
He stated that the Ekiti State Government was no longer interested in commenting on the rift and was willing "to lay the matter to rest permanently as we do not regard the matter as a do or die affair."
He however blamed the action of Governor Tinubu for the rift between the two states but stated that the rift cannot prevent the "two Governors from being friends and to demonstrate that Governor Fayose has no personal grudge against Governor Tinubu, he (Fayose) will visit Governor Tinubu very soon."
The Press Secretary thanked Governor Gbenga Daniel of Ogun State and other eminent Nigerians that have intervened in the matter. "We equally thank the media for balanced reports of the incident."
Adelusi however enjoined Ekitis in diaspora to stop being antagonistic of the administration and instead join hands with the Governor to bring development to the State.
----That is the spirit. I hope the Anambra and Oyo warlords take a cue from this.

Dis one pass man. A page taken directly from the Anambra book of scandals, albeit with a twist of crudity. Na wah!
Adedibu, Ladoja and Nigerian politics`
ALHAJI Lamidi Adedibu is the man widely known as "the strongman of Ibadan politics". And there are few people who doubt that he is indeed a strong man. He is perhaps the most durable politician alive today in the whole of Oyo State. He became a politician, quite early, serving the party in different capacities as grassroots mobiliser, enforcer, and all-purpose, utility man. As a testament to his durability and versatility, Adedibu has since documented his experiences and contributions in a largely instructive political biography entitled What I Saw in the Politics of Ibadanland. But despite his stature, and influence, Alhaji Adedibu remains a redoubtable icon of a durable problematic of Nigerian politics. Nothing demonstrates this in clearer fashion than his present face-off with the incumbent Governor of Oyo State, Alhaji Rasheed Ladoja.
Both parties have been embroiled in a war of attrition since Ladoja assumed office, characterised by physical confrontations among their supporters, media campaigns and the issuance of threats. The Vanguard newspaper interviewed both men on Friday, April 16 in its Politics Section. Governor Rasheed Ladoja tried to deny that there is any rift between him and Lamidi Adedibu. But he was rather insincere. Of Adedibu, he told his interviewer: "What most of you did not know is that this is my father, and I wonder when people say 'Baba' is annoyed, he cannot be annoyed with his son. I am his political son, so he cannot be annoyed with me. Likewise, the son cannot be annoyed with his father..." Ladoja is either pretending or playing politics. Whatever doubts that may exist about his relationship with his godfather were roundly dispelled by Adedibu in the opposite page. What Adedibu revealed about his relationship with the Ladoja is instructive, not merely because of the anger that it projects, but moreso, because of what it says, once again, about the underdeveloped nature of our democratic process, and the limitations of elite conspiracy.
Adedibu has left no one in any doubts that he considers himself the Godfather and kingmaker of Ibadan politics and the source from which power flows in Oyo State. If Obasanjo is the Baba in Abuja, he, Adedibu is the Baba in Ibadan. His acolytes in fact call him Baba, both as a mark of respect, and in acknowledgement of his superior political influence. Adedibu is infinitely conscious of this importance. His interview is shot through with the arrogance of a man of power. He began his case, on a fairly promising note, before running into troubled waters. Asked, what is really happening
He said: "I am an individual in PDP and he, Rashidi Ladoja is an individual within the PDP, but PDP as a party had no crisis, he is the person fuelling crisis, trying to antagonise everybody, trying to feel that without anybody supporting him, he can rule. So, there is no problem within the PDP as a party. He wants to dominate the government and dominate the party and it cannot work; it has never worked that way." Well, Adedibu may be saying what needs to be said when he speaks in this vein. It is improper for any Governor to "antagonise everybody", and run a one-man show, by dominating his environment as if he were a conqueror. It is an allegation that Ladoja needs to think about. For, there is a sense in which many of the Governors across the country, are indeed behaving like conquerors. Their perception of power is crude and odd: they see themselves as monarchs. The nature of the Presidential system, which restricts the influence of the party over elected representatives, automatically enables State Governors to seize the party machinery, using state resources and the influence of office.
But this is the case, also, because the dominant party, the PDP, is a crisis-party, divided, atomistic and disorganised. And in such an environment, there cannot be, as we have seen, a meeting of mind, on issues and principles. Adedibu sounds as if he has an answer to this problem in operation, but he is part of the problem. Hear him: "I don't know how I can describe him, but to me, he is a very heartless person. If I can complain, who else do you expect not to complain if I can complain so early; I started complaining from June (last year) who else do you think he can consider for anything." At this point, the reader is likely to start wondering, what does Adedibu want
Contracts Political appointment He answers: "There is no doubt about it that God used me for him to become what he became today but at the same time, it is an understandable question for anybody to ask why it is so early in the life of the administration that we are having this fight, when he cannot come out now and say we have given this Baba enough money". Obviously, money is at the root of the problem. So, Adedibu adds: "I haven't taken a penny, one penny from his government and all those that worked for the party, if they can't come here, where will they go now, they would have been scattered, they would have been all over, those that worked day and night, the singers, the preachers and so on that worked for the party's success..." This, again, is one of the problems with Nigerian politics. Persons seeking political office are held hostage from the moment they indicate their interest in politics. There are professional Godfathers, and hangers-on who "work for their success". For these people, politics is an investment. When a candidate gets to office, he is expected to share the perks of office with those who got him into office. When he refuses to do so, he is immediately labelled "a heartless man". Lamidi Adedibu is angry because he has not taken "one penny from this government". It is not as if he is a government official, nor does he hold any political office. He speaks of preachers and singers that worked day and night. A foreigner is bound to read this and wonder what "preachers and singers" have got to do with the electoral process. And why should a Governor be expected to give them a penny from taxpayer's money
But sadly, this is the way it is in Nigeria. Adedibu, in subsequent declarations offered direct insight into the workings of the mind of a political Godfather in Nigeria. He boasts that he had earlier made Ladoja, a Senator, and that he single-handedly appointed the present Deputy Governor of Oyo State; he of course expects the Governor to remain loyal and obedient to him. "When he was a Senator, he was not in a position to do anything for anybody. He was just a Senator and we expected him to stand up in the Senate to contribute to the debate, till he left there, he never said yes or no to all the debates in the Senate. He was being obedient, whenever we say this is what we want to do. For instance, when I was choosing the Deputy Governor, it was not to his knowledge, I decided to choose the Deputy Governor without him because I knew then that that was the only workable formular for the party..."
What Adedibu has just described is the leadership formation process in Nigeria. Our so-called leaders are clients to Godfathers who expect them to act in office, as mere figureheads. In Ladoja's case, he and Adedibu were on good terms until he decided to be his own man. Later, in the interview, Adedibu would announce openly that he appointed 11 persons out of the 15 members of the Oyo State Cabinet. So, he says: "Eleven of the fifteen people are my nominees, they cannot deny that, I nominated 11 out of these 15, and I gave him chance to nominate four because I know those people that worked for him". Need we add anything
Please note Adedibu's emphasis on "I gave him the chance..." But he even insists that the issue is not that Ladoja has since started removing his nominees from government but, his refusal to share government money: "He is a greedy man, he doesn't want to share a penny with anybody let us say it before the Almighty God, a government of a state which God gave me the opportunity to contribute as much. I am telling you that I have not spent a penny out of that government, he is a greedy person". If this had been a passage in a work of fiction, it would have been singled out as a piece of creative ingenuity but this is real-life stuff: the declaration of a 76-year old Nigerian politician on the purposes of government and power. Nowhere in the interview does Adedibu comment on policies, and the expectations of the people of Oyo State. It is all about his ego, Ladoja's disobedience and greed, and his personal frustrations. Ladoja's punishment, according to his Godfather, is that he will not be allowed to have a second term. The interviewer latches on to this and prods Lamidi Adedibu. But he is adamant: "It has never happened even those that did well, they were never returned how much more somebody who is doing badly". Adedibu does not run the Electoral Commission, nobody has appointed him the custodian of the people's choice, nor is he a soothsayer. But sitting in his living room in 2004, he has already declared the outcome of a 2007 election that is yet to take place!
There are echoes in all this, of much that is familiar. A few days ago, Barnabas Gemade was quoted as saying that he is not interested in the 2007 elections because "all the persons who will run for what position and win have all been determined". So, is this democracy
Or something else The painful truth which the politicians continually confront us with is that there are never any elections in Nigeria in a real sense. W hat we have is a mere ritual in which the preferences of the electorate are openly discounted, and the rapists of the public space are so supremely confident that they boast about their shameful conduct afterwards. Lamidi Adedibu is in no way different from the other known political Godfathers. In Kwara State, Oloye Olusola Saraki fell out with former Governor Mohammed Lawal. It didn't matter that Lawal was a hardworking administrator. When Saraki no longer wanted him, he sent him out of Government House, and installed his son, as Governor. In Anambra State Governor Chris Ngige began to have problems with Chris Uba, his Godfather, simply because he refused, like Rasheed Ladoja to hand over the treasury to the Godfather and his supporters. Our democracy has been hijacked by contractors and speculators whose influence is further deepened by the failure of public institutions. The subsisting challenge before civil society, is the need to rescue political space from the contractors, and ensure a proper focus on issues and principles. Democracy needs to be taken back to the people: the people as an empowered unit with basic rights, not as instruments (preachers, singers, drivers) in Adedibu's mansion, not as disciples of Adedibu's "amala politics". And what kind of leaders do we have
Who are these public officials who enter into unholy agreements with Godfathers, only to turn against them afterwards It goes without saying that a state Governor who owes his electoral success to a political Godfather is equally likely to treat the people with contempt. The sanitisation of the political space, in the long run, should involve the exclusion of such persons from public office. In the meantime, we can only hope that it is not true that all available positions in the 2007 elections have already been shared out, by those who wield a curious veto power in Nigerian politics. Ladoja should be ashamed of his own antecedents as described by his "Baba" who, if the truth be told, owes his relevance to the creativity with which he exploits the poverty of a hapless electorate.
