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.

Guy stop being emotional like a dumped lady.
Ganiyu Solomon was a WASTE when he was in House of Reps. If you must know, he was the WORST Federal Legislator from Lagos State between 2003 to 2007. All he does was to dose in the Green Chamber. Obanikoro was the BEST federal legislator(In the Senate), while Abike stood tall in Reps. Ganiyu Solomon was "Sent" to the Senate through the goodwill of Asiwaju Tinubu in 2007 because the AC(as at then) didn't want to lose some influential members after losing Agbaje to DPA and Afikuyomi to ANPP(though he came back). What HAS GOS contributed to Lagos State since his time as Mushin LGA Chair, Rep and Senate since 2007?

Ikuforiji being a long term Speaker does not make him super, yes he tried but he can't be in government forever. It is not his personal estate, and no one is preventing him from running. The Ticket was zoned to Epe where Ambode is an indigen. he can try his luck though.

Agbaje, is my man anyday, but not this PDP's Agbaje- As I don't trust him. Yes he tried a lot during the early days of AD till 2007 when he left and also in Afenifere. However, he refused to join the APC due to ego, so isn't fit to fly the APC flag.

Hamzat has been a class since his days in the Tinubu Administration, he is the brain behind the Lagos State ICT revolution-notably the LASRAA Project, which he conceived during Tinubu Adminustration and was endorsed by Jagaban, however, implemented by Fashola due to the Limited time. Sadly, two people can't be governor at the same time.

As for Akinwunmi Ambode, he is an enigma, if you follow governance in Lagos you will appreciate him except you are one of these Tinubu hater.

One Question, what has GOS contributed to Lagos State?

Enigma? Former permanent secretary or accountant general? That contributed what? That local govrernment funding crap you posted earlier is pure bull. I don't like GOS, he looks and acts like a thug. But he's at least popular and has served Lagos in the house and senate before. Please can you list out Ambodes past achievements and contributions to Lagos?

I don't know whether you have problem with comprehension. I said Accountant-General and Permanent Secretary and you are asking me OR... or for wetin guy? Do you know the job of an Accountant-General? Abi you think it is a come and chop position? You obviously need some accounting classes. As for what he is prominent for, I said it before and saying again

Mr. Ambode served under the Administration of His Excellency Governor Tinubu as an Accountant General and Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Finance. He formulated the economic policies that boost the IGR and economic well-being of Lagos State, and was famous for marshalling the State through economic sustainance during the three years period that President Obasanjo witheld the State LG allocation. During that time, the LGAs functioned smoothly and workers weren't short-paid nor owed for a single week. Do you know what it takes for LGAs to survive without the Federal allocation for THREE years?

As for GOS, He never served as a state Legislator. Let me help you out,
He was Chairman, Mushin LGA, In 2003 he contested for the AD Ticket of Lagos West against incumbent Senator Tokunbo Afikunyomi and LOST the Primaries. His was compensated with the AD ticket for Federal House of Reps which was originally won by some guy(forgot his name), because AD couldn't afford to lose some influential members as Funsho Williams of PDP was making wave. Tinubu played smart to keep some mushin votes to the purse(which paid off).
He contested for the Governorship primaries in 2007 and lost to Fashola, but he started his troubles again, AC then can't afford to lose a chunk of Mushin, because of PDP and Koro were making waves and everything was tensed. However, he was given the AC ticket for Lagos Central in 2007.
He was rejected by Lagos Central constituents in 2011 for POOR showing, and was moved to Lagos West by APC, with Remi flying Lagos Central.

Whate are/were his achievements? What is he famous for?Nothing!!! he CAN't Return to the Senate, and Can't be Governor. He is a bad market.

Abeg shey the man dey sell medicine ni?

sammyyoung2:
I had loved Fashola, but am always an advocate of steady change of government, if only PDP could bring Jimi Agbaje.....

And same goes at d federal level......change of government brings changes that changes government for good

Jimi Agbaje - Lagos

Buhari - Better Nigeria

Buhari ko....





Buhari ni....





GEJ till 2020

eliascomm55:
he is not the only christian candidate in APC. Dr Leke pitan is also a christian running for a post of governor too

I never said he's the only Christian there, I'm not into politics but many guys in my block are, they even visited Tinubu in his house on tuesday, because they heard that surulere chairman has been dropped, they did'nt meet him but were addressed by his wife who told them its not true. This same guys said it like 2mnths ago when Dr Leke Pitan came to do his small rally beside our block, they said he's just wasting his time.

That LG funding crap is the only thing he's supposedly done for Lagos? I'm waiting for his other achievements please. And BTW and like i said before, I don't know why you're going on and on about GOS and ignoring to list out Ambodes achievements. I already said I don't like GOS. If you have personal beef with him its your problem. Let's face the issues. What are Ambodes achievements and interesting qualities?
My own preferred candidate is Hamzat BTW.

Boss you are becoming emotional. See I luv Mr Hamzat, i recognize his intelligence, drive and Leadership skill. He has been proving himself since that time of Tinubu, but Ambode did what only few people can do.
Why are you asking his other achievement? the role of a civil servant is clear and he served it meritoriously. Ideally, Civil Servants don't take credit for doing their jobs, however, I will advise you to enquire the duties of states' Accountant Generals. Alternatively, you should ask what SPECIAL role did Ambode play in stabilising lagos State.

You can't state what he's done for your state and you want him to be your governor?

Thanks to Ambode and others. Fashola had to retain him and he continued in his drive until his voluntary retirement in 2012. The Guy is not hyped, he is worth it.

Please stop making me to repeat same lines. He was a CIVIL servant that distinguished himself(in the quoted). I doubt if you really follow Governance in Lagos.




BTW: I am not a Lagos Indigen, Lagos is my where I live though

Good question. Though I can list some things that distinguished Hamzat. BUT to my own judgement, they can't be compared to Ambode's

I was even referring to the poster before your post when it seems he wasn't getting your analysis on Ambode achievements.

He was just harping more on the question forgetting that Ambode is just a civil servant just like Hamzat.
How do you measure one's achievements as a civil servant other than the role they played by their position in government. It behoves him to throw more light on Hamzat, and not you. Duni04,the question is for u. Thanks

Oh got it bro. Some people just don't understand what governance is. I rather have intellectuals than career politicians(GOS and Kind) moving from one office to another with little or nothing to show on ground

MrBigPrick:
Beware of #KoroBucci. He is the candidate to fear.

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).

Since he has declared his intention known, I know APC is winning in Lagos as far as he emerges d party's candidate.

Key achievements/AwardsEdit

Lagos State Man of the Year 2013
Dr. Hamzat emerged the winner of the fifth edition of the Lagos State Man of the Year Awards in September 2013. Lagos State Man of the Year Winner.[13][14] The award winner was selected and nominated by a nine-man selection committee comprising renowned academics, writers/researchers and media practitioners.

Lagos state forensic laboratory
In 2005, Dr. Hamzat advocated for the creation of a forensic laboratory that would provide better evidence in the adjudication of criminal cases and unsolved murders in the state.[15] It was widely reported that he made it a priority to see Africa's most populous nation be able to independently investigate criminal incidents. Fortune would be kind to him as his appointment as the Commissioner for Works and Housing paved the way for the commencement of the project in 2013.[16][17]

Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA) Framework
Widely acclaimed as Lagos State's answer to the U.S. social security number, the agency was established to create a useful database of all residents in Lagos State with a view to, among others, providing useful information for social welfare, political, security, business, employment and financial activities.

I've searched online for anything relating to the achievements, antecedents, pedigee or accomplishments of Ambode as accountant general of Lagos and found nothing. So please enlighten me on what this enigma has done for lagos

Darayola:
I doubt if there can be a candidate has intelligent and of good leadership as FASHOLA except JIMI AGBAJE. I could remember the 2007 gubernatoria debate of both and it was obvious jimi knocked fashola hands down in all ramification. If not for the party he was then,he would have won the election.FASHOLA IS A LEADER WITH A SOUND MIND......JIMI AGBAJE IS BETTER. Little wonder PDP is using him.

I would vote Jimi in 2015 if he was in another party.
I know APC is bad but it does not get worse than PDP.

If you called Omisore an intellectual, then I worry for the kind of standards you accept.
Mediocrity is knocking at your door.
Omisore is nothing like an intellectual,no matter how you define that word.
Obanikoro a vibrant senator? Care to explain the vibrancy?

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.

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).

did anybody know fashola ... we have been voting people we knew and they been messing up ... we knew goodluck didnt we , those that tend to serve with a good government with little fame at that time usually turn out good .

What are his antecedents? At least it should show in his personal life that he's used to helping people and/or managing resources efficiently.

majekdom2:

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?

Government comes on with policies and projects sometimes and you start thinking it all the governors ideas .... no , atimes it comes from the people that served with him ... koro's popularity isnt a guarantee for optimum delivery , when you hear him speak atimes you ll have to think again and again.

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.
