*Sacked State House Chaplain: Ambode Incurs God's Wrath By Touching His Anointed*

*By Adeoba Michaels*

The embattled and outgoing Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode is an emperor. And he is not sorry about it.

Before now, he used his office as governor to deal with many perceived foes in Lagos.

Like a wounded Lion, he pounced on his immediate predecessor, Babatunde Fashola to devour him. If not for the Lord who was on his side, Fashola would have ended in jail.

When Fashola got enthroned as 'Prime Minister' in the Buhari cabinet, Ambode got furious and devoured his friends and associates at home.

In his first week office, he sacked Fashola's sister, Yinka Fashola, 18 permanent secretaries, the vindictive governor had terminated appointment of 33 Permanent Secretaries so far.

He humiliated and sacked George Noah, LASAA MD, Folorunsho Folarin-Coker, Lara Odebunmi, Safety Commission, Foaud Oki among others .

He also frustrated many out of government. They include Ganiyu Johnson, Tunde Fowler and many others.

Ambode should have limited his arbitrary use of power to politicians and those in his cabinet but strayed into God's arena and the Lord struck him.

Governor Ambode sacked and evicted a Chaplain of the Chapel of Christ The Light, Alausa (Government House Chapel) , Rev Femi Taiwo for not anointing his wife, Bolanle first before other parishioners.

The cleric was disgraced and his belongings and family thrown out of government apartment.

It took the intervention of Nigerians especially his parishioners for the man of God to get shelter.

I read on a reputable online medium, Complete News, that the clergy was still floating one year after Ambode sacked him.( http://www.completenewsng.com/exclusive-state-house-chaplain-rev-femi-taiwo-sacked-by-ambode-still-floating-one-year-after/).

Oluremi Tinubu and Abimbola were first ladies in Lagos and heads didn't roll in the cathedral.

I have no doubt that God is avenging the wicked acts of Governor Ambode particular the harm he did to his prophet, Rev Femi Taiwo.

The governor has been committing embarrassing gaffes ever since which suggest that the Lord is against him.

He started by building needless statues that should earn him accolades but rather brought him reproach.

Lagosians fumed at the Chief Obafemi Awolowo's statue built by the governor where a cosmopolitan, dandy sage was decked in Agbada with his trademark cap and glasses to match and then a laced safety boots.

Like a man who is under an influence of a spell or forces beyond him, Governor Ambode without consultation with Lagosians and even his party leaders hiked Land Use Charge by over 400 percent!

Lawyers abandoned courts to protest to Alausa over what they tagged, Rejection Of Ambode's Satanic, Toxic Tax. That singular indiscretion dropped his ratings and turned him to a pariah.

To assuage the public anger and revolt that almost consumed his government, Ambode declared 50% discount on LUC as if tax was a telecom promo.

That means the hike will be 200 percent.

Would 200 percent tax hike be a sound decision when the country was in a recession? If not that God wanted to end the governor's reign.

While the Land Use Charge was about to mellow, the waste crisis escalated and spiralled out of control.

The governor had sacked wastes managers popularly called PSPs with over 25,000 workers and brought in an acclaimed foreign waste managers for Lagos called Visionscape.

The government guaranteed N50b bond that was raised for the so-called foreign firm to take off.

Is that not strange and worrisome? Is it the government that should stand as guarantor for 'foreign investors'?

It means if Visionscape fails, Lagos tax payers will pay the N50bn debt.

Ambode's visionscape has no vision and capacity for Lagos mega wastes. Without mincing words, Visionscape failed and collapsed when it could not handle the task.

Industry experts say Lagos would not recover and get back to a state of relative sanity in the next 10 years.

According to them, on average, Lagos generates 35,000 metric tonnes of wastes a day, if not evacuated in three days, it will accumulate to over 100,000 metric tonnes which could be as high as 2-storey building.

Despite, the hurried beckoning of PSPs to rescue the overwhelmed Visionscape, the backlogs are still warehoused in residents' compounds across the state particularly in the hinterlands.

Ambode demoralized PSP investors and operators. He was cajoing them while environment degenerated.

The governor caused the crisis not the residents or saboteurs.

Now, God Almighty has decided to humble Ambode who believed he was untouchable.

Like God did in the Bible days, he just showed Ambode that he ruled in the affairs of men and took his kingdom away from him.

The fatal end of Ambode is a lesson to every leader who is abusing grace and acting as if the day of reckoning would not come.

StellarThesis:


This Adebola Micheals must be a fucking nitwit. What abuse of grace is he talking about? So Tinubu is now Good. Greedy frog eyes

izzou:


But APC won't let him contest.

If I were him, I'll try my luck somewhere else. He may or may not win outside APC. But at least he has a chance to run again

xbernardx:
Number 1 problem Politics of GodFatherism

Clearly we see the results of the election. Lagosian no even get say again

Jiang:


You know what will be fun, Ambode contests under another party & lagosians voting him in again instead of APC.

Am looking forward to this

arsenal33:
What are OBJ & IBB?

NobodyKnows:

Did he tell you he’s hell bent on returning as governor?
Are you his mouthpiece?
Who are you to make decisions for Ambode

But the thread says he broke down in tears? So why is he crying?

In a bid to sound funny? You sounded otherwise

deboysben:
Ambode should go and pick pdp form or adc and try his luck.

deomelo:





1. Automatic ticket without direct primaries = Imposition by party leader and bigwigs, lack of internal democracy and god fatheriams


2. No automatic ticket, direct primaries where the people decide and internal democracy = Lack of internal democracy and god fatherism.


Ambode getting automatic without direct primaries where Laosians get to decide and pick their own leaders is imposition and god fatherism.


They are trying to do away with fatherism, but you confused village Igbos still want them to continue with the same imposition and god fatherism.


You people are either ignorant or just hopelessly confused.

Just imagine how supposedly learned people in Lagos are allowing one man called Tinubu to determine their fates. This is shameful! Instead of rallying round their governor to save the state from Tinubu's grip they are here supporting him.
If not for the wisdom of Anambra people, the state would have continued to exist at the mercy of the Uba family. But Ngige and other wise men from Anambra fought hard to save the state from Godfatherism and today they are enjoying good leadership.

Truly people get the kind of leaders they deserve.

foyeks2001:
Is Tinubu God?
Why must he be the one dictating who becomes who.
Na wa o....
Whereas his wife is going for the third term in the Senate.
It is time to welcome PDP in Lagos.
PDP has some explanations to do in Lagos with what that Afonja Agbaje did towards the build-up of 2015 elections. They will need to re-orientate yoruba voters in Lagos State especially the indigenes of Lagos.

Tinubu is agbaya God knows. just in a funny way. But very unfair on the guy.

Righteousness89:
I Urge Governor AMBODE to Let them be.. If his Party People says they don't want him anymore, he should let them be.. If he feels he still has good things to do and will love to contest, He should move to SDP or ADC and give it a Shot!

Mr AMBODE has done fairly well in Lagos State.. we can give him a 60/100..

If I was Sanwo I will not go against AMBODE.. I will do my best to bring The Patty members to allow Him. The Moment AMBODE does not go, Even The Mandate group will Split btw themselves.

I say this becos there is always a Law if Karma waiting to decend and I tell u, If Gov AMBODE stops at this one Term, The Next Governor will face the Same thing Irrespective of Whatever he does..

redsquare:
That's the way the cookie crumbles. Lagos, get ready for PDP.
