National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is clearly still excited about his party’s nationwide victory at the recently concluded elections.

On Sunday, he noted how he and other party officials were mocked at and derided when they conceived the idea of forcing the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, out of power two years ago.

Tinubu who was represented by the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, at the African Young Entrepreneurs Empowerment Nigeria, AYEEN 2015 programme in Lagos, weekend, urged youths not to ever give up on their ideas “even if no one believes in you.”

Tinubu said, “If I didn’t believe in the bold initiative, I wouldn’t have lent myself to the unprecedented merger of the political parties that became the APC. We wouldn’t have challenged the incumbent party controlling the central government, People’s Democratic Party, PDP.

“There is no incumbent that has ever lost an election in this country. At the beginning of that journey, we were laughed at, we weren’t given a chance. We were told that we have embarked on an exercise in futility. Yet we believed in the justness of our call. The criticism didn’t deter us but encouraged us.

“That exercise has become a history-making exercise. The party that was described as dead on arrival has, however, given birth to a new government, spirit and better democracy.”

U open thread, u kan dhe be ftc

Are there no other principal official in the party that could represent the chairman, rather than the governnr himself? That shows he is a mere errand boi. His name is meant to be Akinwunmi Akpan Ambode...

Terrible

A Governor representing a party leader at an event , quite appalling and pathetic .

House boy tinz

Jesus....and APC had the gut to criticise ekiti state lawmakers for acknowledging fayose. this is serious. You mean somebody that represents all of us in lagos state is now representing a single individual. All of us can as well line up to go and represent tinubu. Very soon, oba akiolu too will start representing tinubu. Na wah o

This thread will be interesting.

Thank God for Ekiti people for voting out this Cabal out of the state.

Na Tinubu boy him be

EKO ONI BAJE.What is the problem if Ambode represent Tinubu?Una Satanist waka about seeking/looking for wahala.God pass una

Not nice at all. I noticed that line in the earlier thread "What I Went Through For Believing We Could Defeat PDP – TINUBU", and I was patiently waiting for Tanoids to jump at it. They even have the time to move the story to their propaganda website before bringing the attention of Nairaland to it again. funny robots.

Back to the story, this is not nice at all. it seems Ambode has not come to the full realization of the enormous powers that has been handed over to him. One cannot blame him totally though, he is kind of new, with time, he'll be more confident and understands protocol better. I am quite close to govt circles, and I know new entrants are usually given regular briefs on protocol before they get accustomed to behaviours and mannerisms required for their new role.

I think this is a big goof sha and his protocol officer and Chief of Staff needs to be fired for this nonsense.

Fashola no go do this kain tin.. Haba AMBO, na governor u be na.

Dude was to represent the President at a program last week he sent another representative instead.

But he deemed it fit to go and represent an ordinary citizen with no elected office.

Kontinue...

Nope

INTROVERT:
This thread will be interesting.

Is it the messenger that is important or the content of the message being delivered? So what's wrong with Ambode representing a statesman of Tinubu calibre? PDPians with their cheap opposition. The reality of #CHANGE still be like film trick for una face abi? Ok. . . Kontinu!!!!

Chai.. See governor
Tinubu sef

I see nothing wrong. The content of the message being delivered is the only important thing here.

Errand boy

Only dare to dream

Tinubu is a boss sha
