Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State on Wednesday, in what is deemed a major faux-pas on his part has tasked Lagos residents to resist the idea of voting for Mr. Jimi Agbaje the PDP governorship candidate for being too old to rule the state.
Mr. Jimi Agbaje born March 2, 1957 is currently 57 years old.
Governor Fashola made this remark at the Lagos West senatorial campaign of the APC governorship candidate, Mr Akinwumi Ambode, which took place at Sky Power Play Ground, Ikeja.
He said that:
“Today, at 52, I am counting the number of black hair on my head. Akinwunmi Ambode is the man that can do it. If you put an old man there, he cannot do it. If you call him in the night, he may not pick your calls,” he warned.
The controversial remark has prompted several campaign groups affiliated with the General Buhari campaign organization to embark on strategic meetings since last night with the aim of controlling the damage caused by the statement as conversations on the APC Presidential and VP candidates age who are far older than Agbaje and with more daunting assignments, have been re-awakened.
According to Fashola, the task of governing Lagos State requires age to be on the side of the candidate and vigour on the part of the person at the helm of affairs, recalling that in 2007 when he took over governance at age 44, he could count the number of grey hair on his head.culled
Drama!
The young should rule.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful morning Bv's nd Sdk.
FeBuhari 14 GMB loading. No shaking
DeleteAgbaje is too old abi? But you're supporting a 70 smtn old man to become the president. Rubbish
Deletelagos is just a state in Nigeria and fashola thinks only a viibrant person can handle it... who then should handle Nigeria as a whole? is it the old GMB or a vibrant person too? these politicians even....
DeleteNa dem sabi. Goodmorning beautiful pple. Make i go assembly lol.
DeleteDid someone asked him how old is Buhari? Well age doesn't matter jare....
DeleteWaiting for Febuhari.... Let's have a change
May the best man for the job wins...
buharians, get in here!
DeleteYes ooo I concur.. We need a young vibrant governor not an old man who should have retired
DeletePow! And he shot him self in the leg
Deleteas long as God sitteth on the throne of Grace, an unbeliever will never rule niqeria! Niqeria will not be islamized!
DeleteFashola is not a stupid man....he just indirectly told u guys his choice for president...hahaha.
DeleteNwakaego
He knows what he's doing but what is doing him,he don't know.
Deletetrouble sleep, yanga go wake am
DeleteChai!f##k up!lagos Boss,why u wan fall our hand na?abi u smoke ne before d rally?
Delete.....but no matter what sai Buhari
APC Supporters fashola don fall una Hand. Lwkmd. Gej all the Way
DeleteI had an epiphany that this would happen after Fashola made the age degradation remark.. But I trust him to have an epic rebuttal. Such that for lagos state only a young man can handle the stress like he did, while the federal needs an older man with a lot of wisdom and experience like Buhari. Abi BRF??? Eheheh
DeleteIf Agbaje is too old, what of Gen Buhari? Adout to die? Abeg! Next!
ReplyDeleteBuahaahahahahah, na real about to die @Buhari. All these politicians n their controversial statements! How can Jimi @57 be too old to govern @d state level, if Jimi is too old @57, then it's very obvious that Buhari is an ancestor, Lmaoooooooout. Just to bring people to der side, they spew alotta controversial nonsense. Fashola @52, Jimi @57, they are both peer group, if Jimi is too old, Fashola is equally too old to govern Lagos....nonsense talk. APC make una continue with any damage control, una doh.
DeleteDon't mind him he is confused man.
DeleteLolz
DeleteLol.
DeletePow! And he shot him self in the leg.
This is what the yoruba call"asiso oro"
@ anonymous.... Fashola is 52 now but was 44 when he became governor.. I'm sure you didn't figure that out.. people are always in a rush to comment.... read....think...comment, that's how to do it!
DeleteHe just shot himself in the leg. Me I am team, Let God,s Kingdom come.
DeleteWhat about buhari?How old is buhari?
ReplyDeleteDrama indeed
GEJ till 2019
!! BIG BROTHER SAYS SO !!
Pls,is there any make up artiste in d house,wld love to learn
DeleteLMAO
DeletePoliticians always talking from both sides of their mouth.
Jimi agbaje is 2 old ..lool... Buhari is a 2 young joor..take it like that... Yeye politicians
DeleteLol campaign gone wrong! Fashola u are in soup. He should have remembered buharia is agbaje's ancestor b4 making that statement
ReplyDeleteHe said the OLD can't rule the STATE, it's different from the old can't rule the country and moreover if GEJ had done a better job, we wouldn't be having this conversation
DeleteAbisoye, if the Old cant rule a state, hw can the Old rule Great Nigeria with 36 states
DeleteJanet pls ask him more. When an old man of 57 yrs can't rule a state how can a Great grand father of 73 years who can't remember his phone num and running mate's name now rule 36 States. BRF just told us to vote for GEJ
DeleteExactly Abisoye, my thoughts exactly. Lol
Delete@janet: the old would have travelled far and wide to know Whatsup. A young man can rule a country bt not like Nigeria. Nigeria is full of ethnic groups.
DeleteDats their problem. This is the handiwork of fidifi.
ReplyDeleteOde, so is it a PDP member that ask Fashola to refer to JimiAgbaje as old? Mumu talk @Desire.
DeleteAbeg shut your buccal cavity. Everything is not PDP. a bit den. Give fashola the speech make me talk? Shut it ojare and take several seats. APC should not have such loose canons speaking for them.they should do their damage control. After all they keep shouting change but it's the same bunch of criminals that were in PDP that have moved over to APC. when the new crop come in then anybody can speak to me about change
DeleteSo PDP put the words in his mouth right? Be reasonable please n stop the hate.
Deletena wa o desire. so fidifi cloned him n wer controlling him from their house. pls check out this blog for amazing stories

Oh my! He just shot APC on the leg. He has fucked up
ReplyDeleteFashola is a Pdp man.
DeleteHis deportation rubbish cost Ngige his governorship ambition...
Bwahahahaha........
Fashrola!!!
Those in d know,knows what's up!!
Yorubas say:::::ti a ba so ada si oke,ni igba ibi pelebe lo ma fi lele.....Apc should check Fashrola because koko to nje efo,ara efo lo wa,ina to nje eni nbe labe aso. ......abi won mo pe,eja wewe lo ntan eja nla lo sinu awon.
I just siddon dey look ooo.......
Ezenwanyi, so you sabi Yoluba like dis.
DeleteOga o, you keep surprising me.
Nwaanyi dee ihe nka na igbo ma obu na onu bekee, I need to get what you're saying. There is something wrong with the APC alignment in lagos, who noticed that @ the deputy gov's father's burial fashola was conspiciously missing even his wife that attends even her dish washer's social events was absent too. While all APC Lagos heavy weights were duly represented. The thing get as eem be. For a man who has been speaking publicly for 9years now, this gaffe smells suspicious
DeleteNa lie jor Ezenwanyi. Kini? You think BRF is a die hard politician? Nahh. He has integrity too. Little wonder he's not interested in any political office after he's done in lagos state. One would have thot that with the unending accolades and applauds he gets from all and sundry, that he would impose on his principals to see him to the Senate or something, but this man humbly declined any pursuit of furthering his governance to the next level. It is called being content.
DeletePerhaps in future he may consider it o, couldn't tell. But for now he's done the honorable thing by calling it quit to be on political sabbatical. So I don't agree with u o
But Serusly y wud an old man want to rule...dey Shud let d young ones eat d money na...well dey no beta
ReplyDeleteNa WA o.
ReplyDeleteFashola is just stupid for this statement.
Must. he say this rubbish.
Guess he is for pdp.
Agbaje tOo old?
ReplyDeleteBuhahahahahaha
I guess Buhari is tOo young then.
Let the not too old, not too young rule!
Fashola just shot APC in the leg.
Agbeje is too old, Buhari is History!
ReplyDeleteFashola stop eeet o, what kind of error is this? Meanwhile God has assured me not to be worried that he will do, thank you Jesus.
ReplyDeleteChange is the only constant thing in life
Oops! Shot his party in the foot.
ReplyDeleteLolololololololololo! Laughing in chinese! Nothing I no go hear 4rm dese folks, @ 57 u mean agbaje is too old to rule Lagos state meanwhile ancestor Buhari n Grandpa Oshinede sorry Osibajo can rule d whole nigeria? Smh, is it dat dese people 4get deir brain @ home wen going 4 campaign or what? Anyway always something to laugh about!
ReplyDeleteThe Tunisian president was elected at the age of 88, Nelson Mandela was 74 when he became the President of South Africa. Ronald Reagan was 72 when he became the president of the United states of America, he served two complete terms of 8 years... Kibaki of Kenyan was 70 when he became president.... Fashola is an imperfect human like all of us, he is not above mistakes....
DeleteOdigie am glad you typed this. Some people on this blog just follow bandwagon un-informed statements and type nonsense. When google is a cheap source to garner information. They forget the aged who is wise don't really need to exert himself to prove a point.
DeleteYes o, he just shot APC buhari on his leg Bcos he s too old to be our president simple. And the truth u know shall set u free*. GEJ till 2019!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf na so ...How old is buhari?
ReplyDelete73 years Old.
DeleteLmao! That's to show how clueless APC is.
ReplyDeleteSmh!

ReplyDeleteIt was a slip of tongue. Lmao.
#I SEE DEAD PEOPLE...

ReplyDeleteWhen Jonathan lied that Buhari did not buy a single riffle as head of state and it later came out that no president in Nigeria's history has spent more than half of what Buhari spent to equip the army did Jonathan die
DeleteAPC ......Lord of Drama.
ReplyDeleteFash is on his way to PDP.
ReplyDeleteyes
DeleteDon't Mind Fashola. He said when he leaves the officer of governor he doesn't know what will become of his political career. When GEJ is Re Elected he will start to talk like FFK till they shut up his mouth with Appointment
Delete@Stela shops are burning at Marina now.
ReplyDeleteWhen you talk too much you will definitely over talk.
ReplyDeleteAPC are just losing this election little by little, how can Fashola refer Agbaje as old man? @ 57, he is not old, he is mature to govern Lagos, Buhari is 15yrs older than him and he wants rule naija? Another loss from APC
ReplyDeleteWhatever.. Sai Buhari 2015...
ReplyDeleteGod is working!!!
ReplyDeleteIf Agbaje is too old ,then Buhari is an ancestor...
ReplyDeleteLol PDP will be rejoicing now that APC has disqualified itself by itself
ReplyDeleteFor the very first time fashola disappointed me.........
ReplyDeleteFunny.. there were several other stories you could've have posted yesterday but no you just had just had to post this one.. Anyone with his head rightly screwed on his shoulder can see you're for GEJ.. and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that but just drop the act. We see right through your subtle shade. You are for Jumbo, so own it.. Cos your attempt at appearing politically unbiased and curbing the obvious is an epic fail sweetie. Come to think of it, i don't see any buhari supporter denying him.. That says A LOT. But I'm glad you only have one vote... oh! Sorry, NONE. #SaiBuhari
ReplyDeleteAnon 07:43, it's either u re a HE or SHE goat, u must be one, idiot. Stop visiting ds blog, bloody fool, since u can't stand d owner, y do u still come here? Coward, pick a blog ID, let stella know who she dealing with, idiot.

DeleteAnon 7:43. Na wa oo. You are so biased. Very senseless. Fuck out
DeleteMega mistake! Talk about mouth running faster than brain.
ReplyDeleteBuahahahahahaha, if Agbaje is too old to @57yrs, then Buhari is a grand ancestor, lol. Choiiiiii, Fashola why did u allow ur running mouth do this? Or do u have diarrhoea of d mouth??? Lmao.
ReplyDeleteLagos & Nigeria ehn,2 different ball games,morning stella & sdkers.

ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter, we are not voting for buhari because of age but because of his capability
ReplyDeleteBUHARI 2015

ReplyDeleteHe just fucked buhari style up
They should allow leaders of 2moro 2 partake in politics.
We need young and vibrant man on that hot seat.... A man who is able and willing to work.... A man who will listen to the voice of the masses.... God should provide for Nigerian a leader like Moses or Joshua....
ReplyDeleteLol why naw?have you forgotten buhari?Fash no dey fall my hand naw....Media can like to hype things unnecessary too but na all of them sabi jare
ReplyDeleteyou see people who are used to lies, would always forget the last thing they said... APC is full of old crooks.. so they don't remember 57 is lower than 73 lol drama indeed

ReplyDeleteIf jimi is old, Buhari is wat?
ReplyDeleteBuhari be warned! Laughing at the stupidity of APC.
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha! Serious drama o. Fashola has really f'd up.
ReplyDeleteThat's a man of truth, even though he is an Apc member, he still knew dt it takes age to be in d helm of affairs. Say no to old Buhari n yes to Gej. Pdp power!
ReplyDeleteU c, even they know AGE is a factor... APC oshi
ReplyDeleteNa so deir mata dey be.
ReplyDeletePlease someone should remind him Buhari's age.... shioooor
ReplyDeleteD problem with fashola is dat he talks too much dis days, so he is saying too much rubbish,contradicting himself. Oga governor pipe down.let agbaje step in,it looks like u v so much to cover dat is y u want ambode, APC u Don bellyful for lagos let agbaje step in
ReplyDeleteDeceitful "change" . GEJ 2019
ReplyDeleteOmo she f**kup hw could he have said that considering Buhari is jimi's great grand father.clear case of pot calling kettle black
ReplyDeleteAPC are a confused lot and they seem to allow PDP bully them. Always trying to prove PDP wrong in trivial matters
ReplyDeleteHeheheh. Fashola has contradicted himself in this statemenr. If Agbaje is too old at 57, then Buhari is what? Hehehe. APC should go and restrategise.
ReplyDeleteDrama Jimmy too old Buhari and his frail and weak Osibanjo are near grave
ReplyDeleteMtcheeeeew
I watched it on TV and was like, Fasholaaaaaa, you don fuck up o.

this Fashola na bad market..He is not a good politician..Maybe he don high on weed.
ReplyDeleteFashola has just told the world on the wrong choice made by APC indirectly by picking Buhari (72 yrs old). If Lagos doesn't need an old man then Nigeria can't deal with an old man too. GEJ2019
ReplyDeleteNawa o
ReplyDeleteNawa o.. Nigeria politicans n their contradicting statements.. Enjoying the drama,let's watch as the drama unfold*watching with 3D screen*
ReplyDeleteContradictory statement, isn't buhari over 20yrs older than agbaje.... rubbish
ReplyDeletena buhari wey don die finish na go fit rule the whole nigeria
ReplyDeleteSo APC knows that an old person cannot really perform for just one state,and yet, they present us with a 72 year old man for the whole nation. There is no doubt that their plan is a repetition of Yardua's situation.
ReplyDeleteMy comment must show today by fire by force
ReplyDeleteA house that is divided within itself shall not stand.
ReplyDeleteIf Agbaje is too old, then buhari is a great grand pa na (not fit to rule), going by his words. I like fashola but this is a no no
ReplyDeleteLeaking mouth,lol
ReplyDeleteHahahahahaha..Really??!! If Agbaje is too old what of Buhari??!!..Hahahahahahaha.. I don't believe he said that..hahahahahaaa..I don laugh tire.
ReplyDeleteAPC is finished. Fashola the talkertive has helped them. Evil pple.
