JK CANNOT RULE LAGOS COS HE LACK EXPECTATIONS ,, BODE GEORGE OGUNLEWE AND PDP Aare eager to soak Lagos dry.

That OPC stunt PDP pulled in Lagos (maybe that's the "bold ideas" he's talking about) , Jimi Abgaje's afinity for thugs, bus drivers and okada men is a certain turn off.



Not to include his link to questionable PDP politicians such as Bode George, Obanikoro and their likes.

please see the 2 posts of mine above.
Lets enlighten Lagosians SWestrners and non westerners alike to set aside differences and take Lagos to greater heights.

His campaig team in my view are not doing enough.

Most JK supporters know so little about the JK they claim to know and absolutely nothing about Ambode.
They are just voting along sentimental lone of either hatred for Tinubu or the propaganda and lies told about Ambode.

Do you actually wants us to embrace a thief?, knowing that he is even the one pushing his endorsed candidate [ ambode ] to attain the highest political height in Lagos state?
The reason i voted for Buhari, [despite tinubu's influence] is because can never dictate the tune for Buhari.... Instead, Buhari will turn around and bite him because Buhari is a currupt free man and he needs to sanitize the nation from the likes of Tinubu.
Ambode is a loyal dog to Tinubu... Also, Fashola has identified his prefered candidate to us ie Hamzat [one of the brain behind his successful tenure] but Thief tinubu will always manipulate his way for his prefered candidate.
#Jk we know, #JK we want

@shinel
below is the reason why JK wont perform. Do you trust a BGeorge over a BTinubu.

Your comment shows you're just an APC peanuts paid dude.
So you don't have criminals and thieves in APC?
You're cloned by APC to the extent of not seeing what is happening in your family anymore, but you can easily see other families around you.
I pity what poverty has turned you to.

The last time I checked, Bode George or whatever you called his name is not a candidate for Lag Guber.

Only JK I know.
As for me and my house, my PVC goes to JK...

So you prefer to give Lagos state to Bode George and Obanikoro. Because they are JKs God fathers.

To make it worse GEJ bankrolled JK campiagn so he would also have his own share of the Lagos pie.
Lastly OPC Ganiyu Adams will not be left our of the party.

So which do yoh prefer 1 tjief thief or multiple thieves.


But I prefer we talk based on facts and fact is the people I mentioned are certified criminals insome instance except GEJ but you have nothing on Tinubu

not everybody on NL is a paid poster.
I even dont frequent politics section as much as sports because of the tribal sentiments and abusive posts.

please dont post personal insults it makes the discuss childish and I believe you are more intelligent than that.

Secondly there are crooks in both parties however the difference is one party has convicted convicts unlike the other.

And by the way since you say Bode George is not the candidate contesting under PDP why is it mentioned that Tinubu is the one contesting under APC

Let the best candidate wins....... but Ambode (APC) will be the best for Lagos state at this time.

Ambode below clarifies the air about his "alleged" sack from Lagos state...


It’s very good I use this platform to clear whatever insinuations that are being bandied about.

When you do something that is not normal, people want to adduce reasons to it because it’s abnormal to them.

I’ve heard in some quarters people saying that I was sacked by Governor Fashola and I’ve also heard that I stole and that was why I left the service.

The issue is this; if I was sacked or if I stole, this campaign would have been a great opportunity for those people to bring the issues out and use them against me.

We are approaching the end of this campaign and nobody has been able to bring out the sack letter or say this is what I stole.


So I see it as a campaign of calumny against my candidature.

The other part of it is this: I have in my hands a letter of commendation written by Governor Fashola four months after I retired. I’ve displayed it for people to see. Governor Fashola is still in power.

I have served Lagos State meritoriously. I left an exalted position in service, where I had the opportunity to stay for another 13 years. But I wanted to challenge the system and say you know what, you don’t have to stay in an exalted position forever.

There is dignity everywhere and people of character must be able to stand up and be counted.

That’s what I’ve done.

I left on my own volition because I wanted to give other people a chance, because I know also that there are other things ahead of the position of Accountant-General.

There are only a few days to the election, if anybody has anything, let them bring it out.

It’s not true.

I also have a letter of voluntary retirement from the Lagos State Civil Service Commission which the commission gave to me and it is well documented.


So if other parties just want to use it to diminish my status, God has said that I will be the next Governor of Lagos State and that’s why I’m appealing and pleading with voters to vote for people with character, credibility and experience.

- Akinwunmi Ambode
APC Gubernatorial Candidate, Lagos state


This has been the tactic if the PDP

Buhari went through the same BASELESS character assassination and came out on top.

PDP has NO proof of ANY if their allegations because they NEVER happened....

I believe in the #SpiritOfLagos

I believe in Lagos

I believe in Akinwunmi Ambode

Lagos is moving forward,

I believe in Akinwunmi Ambode

na so....

How do u define , freedom and maturity, true service
and sincerity? The fair of harassment by APC supporters
and government officials in Lagos has been preventing
other party supporters to show and advertise their
party, the fear of the director loosing his job and the
threath the iyaloja and the transport union and other trade union have been receiving from APC in Lagos had
given the party liberty to think they re more popular in
Lagos. The act of turning LCDAs to APC campaign office
had created fear in the civil servants that are not satisfied
with their kind of leadership. For how long must we be
in democratic slavery in Lagos.Are we truly living in Lagos of our dream.how well has APC 16 yrs rule fair in
ur lcda. Vote wisely, vote for real change, vote for
freedom. Vote Jimi Agbaje for Governor Lagos

In this history of gubernatorial politics in Lagos State, no one in my humble opinion prepared for the race as Ambode. How many of us will resign from a plum job of chief accounting of the state and go to school in preparation for a higher calling

Hard work
Ambode was the only aspirant that went to all local government and development area in the state to campaign.

He really works very hard for the ticket.

He did not to take his endorsement by Tinubu for granted.

Hard work pays.

Good narration
Have you read the profile Ambode’s publicists used to sell him to Lagosians??

The narration is sweet and shows that he has the capacity to take Lagos to the next level.

Redman44:
I don't really care about Ambode's educational background or qualifications. I don't care about the experience he has or who his Godfather is. As long as the People of Lagos State are still not feeling the real dividends of democracy, then Project Ambode has a lot of work in its hands. There are still many parts of Lagos State that look like ruins from a war zone. Many roads in Lagos are still not tarred. Many People in Lagos are still homeless and the Estates being built by the Fashola Administration have been priced out of their reach. Corruption is still a big issue in Lagos State and I am yet to see the ordinary people of Lagos State being really touched by the policies of the Fashola Government. Cheers.

the ordinary people are being touched by HEAVY TAXATION AND FRAUDULENT TOLLGATES INTO SOME INDIVIDUALS PRIVATE POCKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JK WE KNOW!

Progress for Lagos #AkinwunmiAmbode

The Lagos Election, has long season film
I vote JK

5p1naz:


Tinubu would rather die than see Lagos handed to PDP.

case close!

Traditional rulers influence
The memory of how Oba of Lagos endorsed Ambode is still very fresh in our memories.

The influence of the custodian of customs and tradition cannot be discounted in politic.

Ambode has them to thank for the open support



Ambode is presentable

A nigga that stole, rather mismanage Lagos fund can't be my prefered candidate.
Had it been APC ticket is given to Femi Hamzat
(The credible candidate that transformed Lagos state under Fashola, while working as the commissioner of works and infrastructure,
The one that through his office encomniun and praises are showered on Fashola.
The credible candidate that Fashola endosed.)
But Tinubu decided to push his partner in crime forward to rep as APC guber candidate in Lagos state......therefore, i see no credible candidate as #JayKay.
The one we knw and the one we want
JK omo'luabi

We are all lagosians, let's not vote like this is the last life we are going to use on earth, lets vote like there is still more years for us, Everybody for the Ambode and nothing will go wrong, Akinwunmi Ambode as offered himself to bring progress to nigeria so why will we lagosians want to let another party come and decieve us, NEVER , we are sharper than that and I believe that lagosians will vote wisely.
My people vote Akinwunmi Ambode as Governor of Lagos state and let's move forward, let the continuity in the good works begin..m.#noshaking
