Vote for JK we said, they refused and chose to play ethnic politics electing a clueless stooge.
For all his flaws, no one would doubt Fashola's competence, composure and intelligence, can't say the same for Ambode. He seems to be on a mission to best Aregbesola's records in bad governance




I really do believe Ambode is incompetent and id love to see a recall to get him out, but lagosians still won't vote for agbaje.

Sasore is the right man for the job..]

I have said it b4, that Fashola has set a standard in Lagos state. That it will be very easy to judge an imcompetent successor, whether APC or PDP. This is what is playing out here. Lagos state is not easy to govern. You need a Fashola to govern Lagos state. God bless that man.

His successor, Akinwunmi Ambode, is full of excuses, but few solutions, for the worsening gridlock.
Kai!!!!!! See finishing . Ambode should lock himself up in his office for 3days and be crying because of this statement. He is a colossal failure and gargantuan disappointment to lagosians

Which time e start?

6months gone and u're still asking which time he started. So unfortunate...8yrs ago, we've been seeing what Fashola has started puttng on ground. Lagos Is Nigeria that PMB is just putting together...Lagos is developing at a good and positive rate, he is nt just starting afresh. Is it too difficult for him to mantain and improve Fashola's legacy? I wonder how someone who cannot keep the standard of his predecessor will do something meaning to his own name. The truth b told, forget abt party affliations, Ambode is d wrong choice for Lagos, someone else from Apc may do better bt Ambode is a mistake....this makes me think JK would av done better
Re: New Lagos Governor Ambode Incompetent - The Economist by fabo352(m): 5:09am On Nov 10, 2015
Though one can argue that it's too short to judge him but Fashola hit the ground running during his few months in office and all could see the direction he was heading. I want Ambode to seek help from former Fashola's technocrat team and not surround himself with politicians.

Wish he can do that

I remember, prior to the election; this Ambode was on Jimi Disu's radio program on Classic Fm...

His response to serious question all had the same character which was - raucous, undue laughter as if it was a comic show.
That was when I knew that Lagos was in for a BIG JOKE.

In one year, this guy will cripple what Fashola built in 8 yrs.

That's no JOKE.

Ambode is currently facing new challenges. There's actually influx of people to lagos because of the economic downturn for the abundant commercial and industrial jobs. Jobs in niger delta are very limited. , IOCs recruitment is very lean over years, NOCs are nothing to write home about, even nlng can't complete a single recruitment exercise since 2013 and I don't think the other states have created enough jobs for their citizens even the backward biafra land.
This have worsen the traffic situation and simply because the government wants to sanitize lastma operations the become too lackadaisical that the criminals saw and seized the loopholes. You don't need a witch doctor to tell u that one of the easiest place to be robbed is in a traffic gridlock. So, everything shows the government have to go back to the drawing table. The various state government should step up their game plan. I only pity Ambode he deserves it.

IMO ,Yes, Ambode might not be performing to expectation but still yet JK will not outperform him if he has the opportunity. JK that promises free wifi to Lagosian but yet JK has no website as at electioneering period. For JK, it easier said than done may be because he is good as an orator.

rabosh:
This is totally irresponsible journalism. Can a governor be declared incompetent with just 6 months in office? Is traffic management the only parameter to judge a governor? They make it look as if there wasn't traffic gridlock under Fashola's government. How does Ambode's attempt to make LASTMA civil a sign of incompetence? Anyone who lives in Lagos knows that the reasons given by the governor are true and cogent.

We all complained bitterly at the early days of Fashola's government, let's cut Ambode some slack. He seems open to criticism which is good and will definitely help him get better.

I am not holding brief for the governor but I think we have the worst commissioner of police in Lagos.

The bottom line is that most Nigerians forget things easily, I remembered Ambode almost lost the last election cos pple believed he cared more for the rich than d poor. Am happy Ambode checked d powers of the silly LASTMA goats. As per d security issue, blame the police and d present economic condition of the country. As far as am concerned the state doesn't have its own police force, the state govt can only aid the police with operational vehicles and probably insentives to do a better job and which am sure Ambode has been doing.

Ambode only best him In Dressing, Photographs and Pictures that littered the whole of Lagos State!
But if U listen to their debate, you will realize that Ambode really has nothing to offer!
I bet U that if the vote of Lagosians had really counted and not rigged, JK would have won with a wide margin.
@bolded, like i said earlier being a good orator does not make one a good administrator.
How was the election rigged ? JK that can't even win the PDP primary without rigging will now win Lagos, i guess you are Just Kidding . Have you forgotten that , their are 806 delegates in PDP primary but yet 860 votes were counted . How ? If not rigging .

basilo101:

the worst part is that they always fast to be first to accuse others of ethnic politics while they are d worst culprit
It was JK that played ethnic politics. Realistically he had a very good chance until he started playing the ethnic card making his campaign look like an Igbo thing. As Yoruba, born and bred in Lagos, live in a Yoruba dominated area (at least 95%) I know the pulse among my people. Jk had 50% of yoruba support until he messed up his campaign by so many unguarded ethnic statements that portrayed his expected government as an Igbo only affair. We Yorubas had to switch our support to Ambode. That was what also made the Oba get mad at JK and the Igbos. Truth is JK would have won but he messed up his campaign himself. He was loved by us, and he still is but he killed his political career by being tactless.
