This is humiliation of the highest order
They have turned Ambode to a house boy, Ambode made a big mistake by not building his own political structures the moment he came in as governor so he won't pushed around, that was what Fashola did by creating a JUSTICE GROUP in Lagos APC to rival Tinubu's Mandate group, that's why Tinubu has no option but to back Fashola for second term, cos Fahsola had structure on Ground to defect to PDP and win his re-election in 2011

If Ambode is not allowed to come back as governor , he should wreck havoc on Tinubu by aligning with Fashola, the opposition and other lagos APC members who want to set lagos free from Tinubu madness

Why? Is it because he's a christian? First time a christian is a governor of Lagos and all these travail despite the man is performing. Apcheat indeed.

If Ambode goes down without a fight, I will personally seek his children out and tell them not to ever forgive their coward father because he's a fowl.

Ambode has always looked cowardly in my eyes until he started performing, then I began to think that appearance is sometimes not actually reality. But events of past days has confirmed he truly is a coward.

What does he want to gain from this cowardice? A senatorial seat? Security for his investment? Does anyone know what?

Well except he only wants to raise dusts but if winning is part of the plans then he can do without a formidable support group, that is what is going well for tinubu.

Ambode may be hardworking but he is very dull n lacks courage. A politician should be a fighter not a cow like ambode someone with excess courage even if he is dull he can borrow brain but can't borrow courage

Elayna:
I will advice Ambode to rush and obtain state assembly form
He can go for Counstitency in 2019 election

Ok i see, more like not dying like a chicken. You want to fight dirty before dying. Ambode is a political goat, he probably thinks his re election depends only on his performance lol

MetalJigsaw:
In my honest opinion, without intending to oppose anyones stance and perspective. The way I see this serious matter and what I have to contribute is absolutely from a neutral, sincere and unbias manner and aproach which is completely devoid of any intention to counter or generate argument on anyones perspective。

IN MY humble opinoin, I cannot recall what i wanted to say。

"The battle on who gets the governorship ticket of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State continued on Wednesday with the party leadership mounting pressure on the incumbent Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, to drop his second term bid and endorse his opponent, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Sanwo-Olu came into reckoning in Lagos politics after he obtained the state governorship form last Tuesday and immediately got the backing of the Mandate Movement in the Lagos APC.

The Mandate Movement is led by the National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who was Ambode’s political godfather.

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

The governor and Tinubu have been in the news in the past few days because of an alleged rift 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.

Sanwo-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 when he was voted in as the governor.

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

On Monday, Ambode’s wife, Bolanle had tried to save her husband’s job when she met with Tinubu in Osun State and tried to pacify him to change his mind. The meeting did not yield positive result.

Our correspondent learnt that both the state and national leaders of the party met on Wednesday and mounted pressure on the Lagos governor to accept the decision of the state party leaders.

It was gathered that Ambode, however, told them that he would prefer to go ahead with the direct primary option of the party in the state.

A source said, “Ambode was told to step down and forget his second term ambition. He was told to publicly endorse Sanwo-Olu as his successor. He was promised a ministerial appointment after the APC might have won the presidential election. He was even told to pick a ministry of his choice.

“But Ambode seemed not to be pleased with the directives of the leaders as he declined the ministerial dangle. He also told them to allow the APC primary process to continue as planned. For now, the meeting is still continuing and there is no compromise in sight.”

Our correspondent also learnt on Wednesday that Ambode had instructed his camp not to speak to any journalist and wait for the electoral process to pan out.

“We told him that he might likely lose if he decided not to fight back, but he just smiled,” another source said.

However, it was gathered that the state APC leaders were still insisting that Ambode must go as of Wednesday evening.

Also, it was gathered that the meeting of the Governor’s Advisory Council, the APC’s highest advisory political organ, which held in Lagos, did not discuss Ambode’s issue.

It was gathered that the body was supposed to advise the party on the choice between Ambode and Sanwo-Olu and its implication for the party.

There had been reports that the verdict of the body would seal the fate of both Ambode and Sanwo-Olu.

A source said the meeting merely took briefing on the three aspirants – Ambode, Sanwo-Olu and Dr Femi Hamzat – and later discussed Osun State governorship election.

The body was also said to have advised the party to shift the primary to September 29, 2018, instead of the September 25 it planned to hold the primary.

The source said, “Asiwaju, the governor, as well as the two other aspirants, were not present at the meeting. A briefing on the profile of the aspirants was taken and advice was given that the primary be shifted to September 29.

“The body will meet again on Saturday when members will discuss more on the aspirants.”

Pro-Ambode demonstration holds in Lagos

Meanwhile, some residents of Lagos State took to the street on Wednesday to protest against Tinubu’s refusal to back Ambode

The protesters, who stormed the secretariat of the Ikeja Local Government Area in Ikeja, said the incumbent governor deserved automatic ticket.

One of the protesters, Mr Charles Akube, said Ambode’s infrastructural development projects were enough to earn him a second term.

He said, “Tinubu should not use politics to spoil the development going on in Lagos. Ambode has done enough to get a second term.”

If I tell you I don't understand you, know I'm lying.

It's even one of the laws of power, to use the surrender tactics instead of giving ur opponent the chance to celebrate victory over you.

But get my point; Ambode has not done anything except sitting on the money pipe that fed old lazy men who depend on public fund to feed. That's why he should react. And realizing that the masses are with him. Don't underestimate the power of the masses. There masses is known to have brought down the most powerful monarchs through history.

Why is Ambo not seeing that side?
