Just my personal view, I think Hamzat will be a better option but the silly issue of religion in politics is screwing his chances.
Coupled with the fact that the Oga at Bourdillion has more confidence in Ambode to protect and expand his business interests.
All I know is that Lagos will revolt if anything less that BRF is handed the reins of power.
In fact,they should be aiming for a candidate better than BRF (it is possible. He does not have two heads).

that is after the person must have done four years

topeorekoy:
Thousands of party members defied Friday’s hot, scorching sun to cheer Akinwunmi Ambode as he announced his intention to run for governor in Lagos in 2015.

Inside a capacity filled Onikan Stadium, in Lagos island, members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in colourful attires waved brooms and gyrated to loud music belching out from giant loudspeakers.

The first rally to be organized by a gubernatorial candidate in Lagos ahead of the 2015 elections, Mr. Ambode said he was putting himself forward because of an inherent self-belief of his qualities to pilot the affairs of the state.

Before he climbed the podium for his declaration speech, Mr. Ambode, sporting a blue native cap on a white attire and accompanied by burly, plain-clothed security men, moved around the stadium waving his two brooms, clutched in both hands, to the crowd.
The crowd responded in a frenzy.

Inside the stadium, fuji artiste, Wasiu Alabi (popularly known as Pasuma); and hip hop stars M.I and Olamide took turns to perform on a make-shift stage.

Bloody crook!

Where did a career state civil servant get the money for all this fanfare?

Thief!

They will always manage to get one self proclaimed "Eze Ndi Igbo" in Lagos to carry a placard. I don't see any Hausa or Calabar man their carrying any sign board.
This same man in the picture may be seen when Obanikoro declares his intention for PDP. He is obviously paid. Mitcheeew... Ndi ala..

beast4rmdeast:
I see a popular pdp candidate in the mold of obanikoro winning,to tthe streets dis dude is literally unknown

waz fashola known in d streets b4 defeating koro dat year?...abeg bone dat tin joor.

duni04:

So your strategy for picking your governor next year is to close your eyes and throw a dart and hope its bullseye? Cos you've been lucky with Fashola doesn't mean you should ignore people who are better qualified for the post and embrace a mediocre with no pedigree or achievements whatsoever. And BTW nobody knew jack about Jonathans achievements. You guys voted for him because he had no shoes, remember?

I never voted good luck , cause I knew he was swagless ... if you have been opressed in your childhood days , I know it leaves you with a very sick mentality that may be hard to treat ... I knew that quite well , he was never my candidate . people voted him cause they felt they knew him ..... now to the isssue , there is what is called " well calculated risk in business " such is what one should consder with ambode . we cant consider that wth koro because tho he seems to have had some credibility he made friends with the wrong folks who kept teaching him shits ... the fact that ambode has not served in a position where you can attribute a good project to him solely doesnt mean he has not helped in realisation of a better lagos. if he served as a senator , it would have been better dont you think so ... he was a civil servent which makes it a bit hard to be credited solely. he is worth the risk.

justitiaomnibus:
Waiting For Obanikoro And Agbaje... Either of them ismy first option.

pdp won't give koro the ticket . Even agbaje may not get the ticket. It is obvious that there is a dearth of formidable grassroot governorship candidates in the pdp . Almost all strong potential candidates are members of apc. Most likely apc will claim lagos state again.

how are you sure he didnt have his own firm of consultants ... people just think as long as you are in government , you have no other legal means of making money....

duni04:

Stop trying to play smart. He hasn't done anything worthy of note to merit becoming our governor. His only claim to that position is Tinubus anointing. Nobody knows this guy. Of all the APC candidates, Ambode is the one that has contributed the least to Lagos. Ganiyu Solomon has served Lagos in the Senate for so long, Ikuforiji has served Lagos as speaker for long, Hamzat has been Fasholas anchor man all these years, helping to reconstruct Lagos. Even Agbaje in the PDP has done more for Lagos.
Ambode is a nonentity, no interesting qualities or achievements. Nothing!
Ambode should just be quoting and thanking Tinubu during his campaign tours cos that's all he has, he hasn't done shît for Lagos.

Another product of a failed education system.

So by virtue of being in a position for long is your evidence the person has contributed?

What about Lagos East senatorial zone?.. I would rather Abike Dabiri is presented for the senate than Gbenga Ashafa because for the past 4 years Ashafa has been there I have never noticed his vibrancy,save for Remi and GOS. Also we must not forget Ashafa was once a "career civil servant" and his 'antecedents' at the senate is glaring for all to see. Abike Dabiri-Erewa should step up and contest for Lagos East senatorial seat,she deserves it and the senate really needs someone like her;especially the fact she's a female.

majekdom2:

You mean the one he started 2 years ago?

majekdom2:
its a populous country , you may never get to hear or know of his good deeds in his niche.

Then he should use the opportunity of his campaigns to let us know. I'd prefer that than him riding on Tinubu's or Fashola's back.

As much as I prefer APC to PDP, I would be voting for the individual personalities first and for now, Jimi Agbaje makes more sense to me.

Until Ambode shows a spark of something different, something that was noticeable in fashola even when he was unknown, he would be seen as a Tinubu's lackey, many don't want that.

By the way, Amaju pinick of the NFA struck me as quite intelligent, and without knowing about his antecedents I could see someone who was prepared mentally for the position- many of our politicians are only mentally prepared for the money.

If this man is serious he had better start talking, taking his view and plans to the media and intelligently explaining how he wants to get things done. The ability of the brain to quickly process questions and give intelligent answered is a good pointer to how that brain will react in pressure situations.

He was already into his consultancy business before Tinubu drag him into the civil service as a permanent secretary. And he has already made it big before that

PDP is in for it again, even in Ondo state!

lolz....PDP is indeed in for it especially in Ondo state.The deflection of that silly supporter of APC is causing serious chaos among the PDP.The doom of PDP in SouthWest.

barcanista:
Lol, I use to be an admirer of Koro, because he was an Achiever as LGA Chairman, Lagos Island, a class as Home Affairs Commissioner and indeed a distinguished Senator. But he gradually started losing it....

1. He Supported Obj's 3rd term bid on the floor of the Senate, which is against the consensus of Lagos Central
2. He defected to the same PDP that held Lagos Council funds for 2years(as at the time he defected) through the Federal Government despite a Supreme Court ruling. Imagine a State WIthout LGA allocation for 2 years(and later three).
3. Obasanjo led PDP had no federal presence in Lagos and the entire South West.
4. As Min of State For Defense, he stopped a Housing Project for Lagos Indigens using the Military. All because of Politics.
5, He seems to have lost the spark he had in 2007. He has gone full thuggery.
6. The Korobucci will not sell in Lagos, Lagos is not Ekiti where mediocrity is is rewarded. What is Korobucci? is governance in Lagos an entertainment or a nollywood? It is a serious business my brother
7. Koro have been transformed to another Omisore of Osun State(This man was once a vibrant intellectual).

WTF! Are you reetarded?

Omisore is actually supossed to be an intelligent person with his academic credentials but he doesn't act it. You should see his CV, its quite heavy.

Kindly explain to us "what" about his academic credentials makes him look like an intelligent person.

mbulela:


guy leave academic credentials. He has never sounded intelligent to me.
Besides, i see nothing special in his CV (unless I did not look well,pls post it here). It just looked slightly above average.
You cannot compare the likes of Hamzat and even Ambode to mediocres like Omisore.
The likes of Akinwummi the Agric minister make more sense as intellectual than men of simple minds like Omisore.

He looks more of a demi-god, holding the keys to the passageway to the supreme God, to men like Omisore!

I have always thought he was already into consultancy before joining the civil service.
As for the money he is spending. Jagaban financed Fashola's election and is doing so to Ambode again.

Na wa o! I was having an insult free exchange with someone else and then you come from nowhere and quote me with insults. Please face your lane. If you can't contribute without insulting me then run along. Thanks

duni04:
I don't like the way people are going about hyping this Ambode guy. Just because he's tinubu's anointed does not mean he should be forced on us. What are his antecedents? What has he done for Lagos in the past? Where is his campaign money coming from? Cos he seems to be spending more than anyone else on this governorship campaign and he was just a former accountant general.
I don't like the guy and I'm sure a lot of people dont too, including Fashola. A lot of people may vote PDP out of frustration in the coming elections.. At least we know Agbaje and Obanikoro. Who d hell is Ambode and what has he done for Lagos?

He was the man behind the success story of Lagos in term of revenue generation. When OBJ decided to withhold Lagos allocation, he was the AG that devised the formula for Lagos to call of the bluff of the FG.

Presently many states in Nigeria are copying the same template the man implemented.

he may have been a partner in another firm ... you should know more about the accounting profession ... he founded a public consultant not a private auditing firm.

Looting Continue!!!






This same Ambode is the brain behind the looting of treasury Of Lagos state,the poor state is crying out for help. ..#no2APC














Too face APC

Is there an article anywhere I can use to follow up on that claim. You can't just drop something like this without concrete proof. In the absence of any, this claim is just beer parlour gist or at best a rumour.

seanet02:

He does not appear to have. He spent 27 years as a civil servant.

That leaves the option of him being sponsored by the party. I read the article clearly and did not see anywhere where it said the party paid for it, that is why I called him a crook.

Your opinion.

When you go to the LASG civil service and you ask for Olori Ebi.....they will point you to his direction.

I'm not discussing rumor here with you..it's what is verifiable.......from circa N600M/per...he took Lagos to circa N14B per month.

You don't need to agree though....he is a Chartered Accountant with interest in Public Fiance that adequately understand finance of government.

You may disagree with Tinubu...but you can't deny his ability to spot raw gold and turn it into precious metal.

Sagamite:

Absolutely.

He is a specialist in Public finance.
