Ambode is acting as if his performance as governor isn't enough to make him win. If performance can't win second term, then this country is dead.

Then all you actually need to win elections or second term in Nigerian politics is not capabilities, good track record, integrity, transparency or performance; you only need to know the right people. Even if I'm corrupt and a total failure in my first term in office, I can still have landslide victory for second term if I'm connected to the right political godfathers.

This country will die a permanent death if this trend continues.

hmmm true talk

Chikaa444:
Are you aware that the oni of ife has intervened on ambodes behalf....it has been settled ambode is going for second term

Where did you get that from?

Since you've bite the finger that fed you & your 1st Lady disgraced & insulted the man of God... next thing for you is to face the consequence.
More so, yourwifey#outgoing1stlady caused you such

voting is irelvant if one person PVC can the scenerio

Pataricatering:
her disrespect to the man of God has absolutely nothing to do with what happened to Her husband ! He was not carrying civil servants ,political cronies , his godfather along ! Everybody was complaining about him !

If ure sensitive u will know it does. How else does sm1 get into power and forget all ur senses to the extent u misbehave and disregard everybody who helped u get there?? It starts from smwhere or sm action which leads to others terrible actions.

Ambode doesn’t even have anyone to stand up for him. In fashola’s case a lot of people within and outside the party fought for him despite sm of his imperfections.

....

Problem

How are they (APC)denying him?they said all interested person should go into primary. Isnt that what democracy is all about?why is Ambode scared of going into primary?

SIR0:
He who God wishes to destroy, he first hardens his heart.

APC in Lagos is getting watery
Denying Ambode a second term would surely leave a crack in the wall

I really don't understand all this nonsense! If Ambode has performed well, he will be voted for. If he loses in the primaries then he should contest on another platform. Simple!!!

Morbeta11:
Ambo you tried but in the area of sanitizing Lagos you failed. Ambode should man up and go for the primary, thats why it's called politicking.

seriously,he should man up and continue with his quest for a second term,godfathers are made and not born. He should draw inspiration from those who disengaged from their godfathers and still made headway with their ambitions,even if he loses,he's already made forever

Gogetta:
She didnt slap him tho.

But she got him sacked

A last-minute effort by the wife of the Lagos State Governor, Bolanle Ambode, to save her husband’s job was said to have hit a brick wall on Tuesday.

It was gathered that Bolanle, who followed Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to Osun State on Monday for the Tuesday’s All Progressives Congress’ mega rally for the state governorship candidate, Gboyega Oyetola, waylaid the National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and tried to pacify him to change his mind.

Sources told our correspondents that her efforts did not yield any result as Tinubu was said to have “received her cordially and joked with her.”

“At a point, she became emotional despite the fact that many party leaders were there. But Asiwaju (Tinubu) did not give her the answer she desired. He merely treated her with courtesy,” one of the sources said.

The governor and Tinubu have been in the news in the past few days over the second term bid of Ambode.


Tinubu had refused to back Ambode’s second term ambition despite pleas by notable people in the state and the country.

Instead, the Tinubu-led Mandate Movement in the Lagos APC had backed Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who obtained his form last Tuesday.

The chairmen of the 57 councils had also declared support for Sanwo-Olu.

Sawo-Olu, a former commissioner in the state on Sunday formally declared his intention to vie for the Lagos State governorship ticket of the APC, promising to restore the glory of the state.

Notable APC leaders in the state, who were either allies of Tinubu or his followers, were at the declaration.

Meanwhile, sources said the Mandate group had started wooing another aspirant on the APC platform, Dr Obafemi Hamzat.

It was gathered that Tinubu’s men wanted Hamzat, who is from the Lagos East like Ambode, to become the deputy governor with a promise that he would supervise a ministry and also nominate two commissioners into the cabinet.


Hamzat campaign team could not be reached on Tuesday for comment.

PSP operators declare support for Sanwo-Olu

In a related development, the Association of Waste Managers of Nigeria on Tuesday made public its intention to support Sanwo-Olu.

The Lagos APC will hold its primary next week to decide who will be its governorship candidate in 2019 election among the incumbent Ambode, Sanwo-Olu, and Hamzat.

At a press conference in their Mushin office on Tuesday, the PSP operators said they believed that Sanwo-Olu, if voted in to replace Ambode, would restore their jobs which the incumbent administration took and gave to a foreign company, Visionscape.

The Vice Chairman of the association, Mr David Oriyomi, who addressed journalists alongside other executive members of AWAM, said the decision to back Sanwo-Olu, was in the interest of about 25,000 workers engaged by the 350 PSP operators, who had lost their jobs.

Oriyomi said the association boasts of no fewer than 150,000 voters at the grass roots, who would be mobilised to help Sanwo-Olu to achieve his governorship ambition.


He expressed the confidence that not only would the emergence of Sanwo-Olu as the next governor of Lagos State help to revive the business of the PSP operators, it would also restore Lagos to its former clean state.

He said, “This injustice should not be allowed to continue, the health and well-being of residents of Lagos must be paramount to all.

“It is, therefore, with great hope that we welcome the emergence of Sanwo-Olu, who has promised to run a participatory government.

“For this reason, we, the Association of Waste Managers of Nigeria, have decided to align ourselves with Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu and pledge our full support to him in the forth- coming elections.

“This decision was taken in the best interest of the environment. We remain committed to servicing the great residents of the centre of excellence. It is time to clean up our city; we did it before, we are able and willing to actualise the Lagos of our dreams.

“We did not just choose to support Sanwo-Olu; we looked at the aspirants. We have the incumbent, we have Femi Hamzat and we have Sanwo-Olu.

“The incumbent, we have seen what he has to offer when it comes to waste management in the state – there is nothing he can offer us.

“Then Hamzat, we have not heard much from his camp; but Sanwo-Olu named the issue of the environment as one of the critical issues that he is going to tackle,” Oriyomi said.

Ambode only sin was the stopping the PSP operators who were really doing a good job for the invisible visionscope who depend on GPS to know the location of dirts in Lagos.

Every Government must think the people first before anything. The forces against Ambode are bigger than his imagination. Goodluck to him in the primaries!

Seetto:

Guy , ori e gbasibe ,jagaban , the only terminator that can send u to ur final political grave rest place, eg gej

Buh Saraki is bigger than Tinubu...

I think from all i have read about Ambode, Tinubu should replace him so that it will be a lesson to others who will come after him. I heard he really became arrogant and out fence around himself. Many people when they get up there thats when u get to know their real character. He should be replaced immediately, no mercy.

A car in front of me, had a bumper sticker on it that reads "PRAY FOR “AMBODE" psalms 109:8.

When l got home l opened my Bible, read it and started laughing.
Psalms 109:8"" Let his days be few and brief and let another take his office.

-- I fear Nigerians oooo!!!!

There's a lot or lobbying that goes on in the political sphere in a democracy.
His case is beyond Tinubu, as not only Tinubu determines what goes on.
Tinubu also relies heavily on lobbying others for support, and he also will lose relevance if his supporters don't stay behind him.
I dont think Tinubu has any problem with Ambode, but he's not going to bend backwards for him to contest unopposed, meaning he won't start lobbying other people to give Ambode their support. It's all up to Ambode to convince others he's the right one for the job.

Has she forgotten wat she did so soon to a man of GOD?(An Anglican cleric she humiliated in the house Of GOD DAT led to his suspension) Remember Jezebel and the husband in the scriptures? Maybe its payback time but our GOD is merciful, let s wat happens

Where did you get that from?

Are you minding that clown?

Ambode should stop begging and face it head on.
He's a sitting governor with adequate powera

......you mean sitting governor with inadequate power....

I would have pitied Ambode but he is not a wise man. Next time if he have opportunity he will know how to control things

Tinumbu said 4 years is OK for anything Lagos aspirants... He doesn't want them to be too powerful when given second term.

KingMicky3286:


Is Tinubu the owner of Lagos State? Please i need an answer..

No but he’s The Godfather of today’s Lagos state and that’s the bitter truth.
