THOUSANDS OF AMBODE SUPPORTERS DEFY PARTY LEADERS, STAGE POLITICAL RALLY ON IKORODU ROAD
Source : http://www.eyesoflagos.com/2018/09/thousands-of-ambode-supporters-defy.html?m=1


Eyes Of Lagos reports gathered that , The entire stretch of Ikorodu road from Anthony to Maryland and other adjoining community roads were on lockdown earlier today, Sunday, September 30, 2018, as political supporters and loyalists of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode under the aegis of Ambode Mandate Support Group (AMSG) staged a political rally in the axis.

The supporters who came out in their hundreds, converged on the premises of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) in Maryland, Lagos Mainland, and marched through Ikorodu Road to Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park in Ojota, where they were joined by others who came from other communities on the Lagos Mainland.

At the gathering, the leaders of the group took turns to speak to the participants in the rally urging them to ensure Ambode emerge victorious in the primary in their respective wards.

Speaking at the rally, Director General of the Ambode Mandate Support Group (AMSG), Hon Hakeem Sulaimon, particularly declared no confidence in the State Executive of APC led by Tunde Balogun for openly exhibiting bias towards the Governor, saying the chairman committed faux pas when he participated at briefing where another governorship aspirant was purportedly endorsed by party leaders.

While tracing the root of the problem which the Governor had with some party leaders, Sulaimon said it was unfortunate that the same character who informed the Governor not to relate with party leaders immediately after the election was now the one playing on the intelligence of members not to support the Governor for re-election.



In addition, the rally was joined by popular Fuji musician, Abass Akande Obesere who sang praises of the Governor and took time to dish out folk music to the delight of the onlookers.

Speaking at the rally, a member of the Ambode Mandate Support Group (AMSG), Yusuf Azeez told InsideMainland that; “we are solidly behind our man Ambode. He is the going nowhere and would rule Lagos for another four years.

“The party leaders who are after going against his candidacy or want him to step down cannot influence all of us. We have taken a decision and we are ready to stand by it.”

Motorists, residents react

Motorist plying the Ojota end of Ikorodu road affected by the traffic gridlock caused by the rally condemned the exercise by the loyalists saying it was ill-conceived without the input of traffic managers who would have ensured free flow of traffic in the area.





Eyes Of Lagos gathered that, According to a commercial bus driver who gave his name as Agbana, the rally should have held in Ikoyi or an area where the leaders of the party would be directly affected. “Why did they come down here? Did they remember to hold a rally when there was fire at Olusosun for several days or when we complained of the bad portion on Ikorodu road?

“They should have visited Ikoyi, VGC, Lekki and other posh areas where the party leaders can also feel the effect of the rally.”

A resident of Ogudu, Simbiat Akinade while commenting said that “the group should have invited LASTMA guys to help in the rally. That would have gone a long way in ensure free flow of traffic than allowing innocent citizens spend productive time in traffic.”

If Buhari performs as well as Ambode, then Nigerians irrespective of tribe or religious affiliations, will go all out to rally for him. All Nigerians need is good governance.

That's exactly my worry. The only man that could have snatched Lagos from Tinubu was Engr Funsho Williams in 2003. The margin was 200k. Tinubu had 900k votes and Funsho Williams 700k votes. The man was rigged out. After Tinubu, he should have taken over, but was killed in 2006, just a year to the 2007 election. BAT is a master in Lagos, but not in Ondo
Sanwolu is a joker and a stooge. This is 2018, we can't have a dummy as a Governor of a state like Lagos. Buhari did same thing to Tinubu and OBJ. They wanted to control him, but the Hausa Fulani Cabal ensured the such plans failed. Sanwolu would fail woefully.

Tinubu claimed to have a master plan.

Master plan like

1. He gets close or up to half of the projects in Lagos done by his construction firm
2. Alphabeta a firm he owns continues to consult for LASG on taxation.
3. His associates must have a say in what an independent Government was to do.
4. The government must take instructions from him
5. He must appoint people into his cabinet.

Isn't that the master plan?

But was the Oworo bus stop part of the master plan?
What about the Abule egba and Ajah bridges, are they part of the master plan?


The fight against Ambode is not about performance, but about personal interest

Tinubu vs Koforola Bucknor(Got her impeached)
Tinubu ba Femi Pedro (Got him impeached)
Tinubu vs Obanikoro
Tinubu vs Fashola (2009)
Tinubu vs Fáyẹmí (2014)
Tinubu vs Saraki (2015)
Tinubu vs Akeredolu (2016)
Tinubu vs Amosu
Tinubu vs Ambode (2018)

On Akin Ambode: Egungun Be Careful, Na Express You Dey Go

When I read online what Governor Akin Ambode said at his World Press Conference, three things came to my mind: the passage in the Holy Scriptures where Samson was captured, his eyes plucked out and he became a sport to his captors. The second thing was Abass Obesere's song, 'Egungun be careful'. The third was that I rushed to Wikipedia to check Ambode's profile.

Up till now, I've refrained from joining the discussion on how Akin Ambode was told he won't get a second-term ticket and all the issues surrounding it. I've read so many comments but I feel most people are guided by sentiments rather than logic. I've not seen any CEO of any State humiliated in such a manner before. Different people turned him into a sport including a musician. He was stripped naked in the market place and turned into a punching bag.

The most dangerous person to fight is the person whose back is already against the wall and who believes he has nothing to lose. Beware of him. Ambode's back is against the wall. That is why his issue must be approached with caution. He has already lost everything so there is nothing more to lose. With the Press Conference, I honestly don't think he's interested in any second-term ticket again. His speech says as much. He is now like a bull in a china shop. You underrate such a man at your peril. And this is where it gets interesting. Like Samson in Judges 16: 29-30 (KJV), we read that "Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left. And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life". Ambode can play the Samson option. He won't be a beneficiary neither will anyone else within the structure. I've found out that in power games like this, the most dangerous people to spar with are your own 'sons'. They grew up with you and know you inside out. When sons decide to spar with their fathers, the fathers are toast- except God helps them. Ask David about Absalom. Ask Olusola Saraki about Bukola.

In his hand is the control lever of the biggest state in Nigeria. Here is a man who worked through the system for 27 years and rose to the zenith of his career, having worked as Council Treasurer, Auditor, Permanent Secretary and Accountant General for 6 years. Ambode is no fool. He threw chinks at the armour of respected poster boy, Babatunde Raji Fashola at the inception of his administration. He had to be restrained then and till date, BRF still carries those scars. Ambode may not have the gift of the garb but he is an extremely intelligent individual. He has worked with so many Governors including Bola Ahmed Tinubu and he became one himself.

I urge caution from every side. This situation is an ill-wind that will blow no one any good. The big masquerade has to be careful. The express way is full of danger. He can't afford to get into the ring with Ambode. Does he think Ambode would have addressed that Press Conference without due consultations? Who is playing the drums for him that is making his waterfly erupt in a dance? Think. The big masquerade may just have feet of clay. That is why he must be careful of taking a plunge in the river. And like my egbon Kehinde Ayoola J P wrote, "When a blind man threatens to stone a man with two eyes, let the two-eyed man beware. The blind man has a stone in his pocket already"!

So I'm here playing that Obesere blockbuster in my head....

Egungun be careful
Na express you dey go
Moto go jam you
Me I don tell you...

If people want to know the evils of godfatherism,they should look at the case of Anambra.
There was no meaningful development then until Ngige was able to extricate himself from the Uba brothers and proved to the state that there is enough money to work and pay salaries if the government wants to work such that when Peter Obi came there was no excuse.
lagosians might think their governors are working until they do away with godfatherism ,then can Lagos achieve its full potential.

You really shouldn't. Right now He's as strong as ever. Especially with yestedays revelation. The fucker Sanwo Olu didn't even respond specifically to Ambodes allegation, meaning there are some real elements of truth in what he said. Aside that, once he (Ambode) loses the primary, even Tinubu is not safe anymore. Gbam.

Not to talk of yestedays revelation. Y'all think he would have done that without due consultations? I personally even think he's left it a lil too late in doing that. So theres nothing like he's messed up with what he did. He did so fcking right, especially since the fuccck boi Sanwo Olu didn't dispute the allegation. Or did he? We sha all went to school and we read the statement he put out too..

he will go for the kill.
He's down and the next 8months would be crucial. He would just destroy the siege Tinubu laid on Lagos, stop Alpha Beta and many other avenues for stealing from Lagosians. A drowning man should drag others along too. Unfortunately, he doesn't have Fashola behind him. He messed with Fashola and never invited him specially for the 2017 Lagos at 50. He humiliated Fashola trying to pacify his boss, forgetting that àtòrì ti a fi nà iya le, ọ mbè lórí òkè fún iyawo
