TonyeBarcanista:

And you think he wouldn't want to have it smooth installing a successor

Maybe my meaning wasn't clear : If Buhari has his​ way and successfully installs Ambode for a second term, he could use the governor against the Jagaban.

Tinubu shld remember what happened to him on ondo governorship primary election. he shld 4give ambode n retain his prestige

APC has trade off Lagos unknowingly.Ambode's sidelining of party members could easily be interpreted as,he refuses to share state funds with them.

uzobaby:
This is a case of being between the devil and red sea..if Tinubu goes ahead to support Ambode. .what will happen to his loyalist who have staked all to accept his choice,their loyalty to him will start diminishing ; on the other hand if he fails to support Ambode, he has the presidency and cabal to fight with..in fact he just walked into their trap; all this fight is all about interest..

wow! Nice analysis! I'm impressed. My name is Bullabong, Bully for short.

I'm beginning to have this feeling that soon igbos will start supporting tinubu... The west shud understand that the Igbo's and we Niger deltans don't hate them but their alliance with the north is becoming nauseating... An average northern politician be Atiku , buhari, kwankwaso or tambuwal are all fighting for northern survival... They do this by stoking hatred among southerners and we fall too easily for it

I didn't see this, you're great at analyzing politics.

I look at all the analysis about Tinubu and I hear all manner of dumb comments
Question-Is the poverty in the land causing y'all to develop thinking problem

Tinubu is a PDP Person

Tinubu is goofing this Ambode issue seriously.

He's making Buhari/Northern cabal apprehensive about 2019 presidential election. Splitting SW APC will affect APC in presidential election. Even in 2015, Buhari didn't beat GEJ by much in SW. With North Central uncertain because of poor handling of herdsmen, Buhari has reasons to worry.

Whatever Tinubu does now, it's almost too late. Let Ambode win, he will know he just narrowly made it past Tinubu's machinations. If he supports Sanwo-Olu and wins, there will be division and if Buhari still manages to win, Buhari/cabal will not forgive Tinubu for giving them a scare. Refusing to forgive or hear their pleas, for throwing his weight around so openly against the wishes of national APC and governors.

Tinubu is smart enough though to read the handwriting on the wall. But he might have taken it too far already.

But then again Tinubu is a master of subterfuge. Knowing that Ribadu could not win under ACN in 2011, he secretly worked against Ribadu to help PDP/GEJ. Securing a good deal for OANDO with Diezani Madueke in the process.

forgiveness:
I think Ambode should not be allowed to go for second term because it's getting clearly that the cabal wants to use Ambode against Tinubu after the election else what is their desperation all about. A sinister to finish him after the election by getting grip of Lagos.

Buhari should face his presidency ambition and let go of SW politics.

Ambode should test his popularity. No more handpicking. EOD

Why should Ambode not be allowed to contest? Haha hahaha...

The social media governor only knows how to deceive other governors with grammar, and make them feel inferior and thats the only reason why they call him governor general aka coconut head, dustbin director. Please leave Alausa for a capable hand.

alujonjonkijon:


you erred not knowing the political intrigues.tinubu never intend to replace ambode.it is a strategy to remind aambode he is the godfather so ambode should not obstruct him when again he seeks to move anything away from the Lagos treasury .come bet with me. sanwo olu will actually step down in few days time.tinubu is wiser than not allowing ambode to run .

Funny! You think you can threaten a sitting governor, and he will not sit up without a fight.

Opinionated:
Not real.

See how NURTW endorsed Ambode for 2nd Term

Killer squad support for Abode really good.

fedora04:
Truth be told.. I want us to critically analyze the doings of Ambode

The question is. What really has he done? No sentiments please. Look at it. He only worked on the blue prints of his predecessors...

No fresh idea came from him.. The only thing he tried to do was a disaster. Visionscape

I met this guy those days when we were pursuing deposits and he was accountant general. Of a truth he knows his onions but he his far from being a politician

Little wonder he failed to unite the political class and play the game

Before you come attacking.. He is a technocrat and will perform better as a minister.Not a governor

There is something Tinubu has seen that we all haven't.

My advice. Step down and get the ministerial appointment then learn the ropes and move back

For those still insisting that he must return. Brace yourselves cause the second term will be worst. He will practically spend it paying back the mercy extended to him

Politics not ending soon. Nigeria still in democracy

My tots

People like you follow others without thinking.

donphilopus:
They accuse Tinubu of imposition of candidates. Now, he's saying since he's being accused of imposing candidates on others, they should go to the field to test their popularity. Now, they are attacking him for not "imposing" Ambode on Lagos. Why the confusion?

Chief Dr. Ebenezer Obey's music comes to mind.

Quidquopro:


Lagos APC has 2 factions. And Tinubu supporters are limited to Lagos.
Did you hear that Bisi Akande and Segun Osoba have both asked Tinubu to forgive Ambode?

Tinubu will lose supporters this time around if he doesn't retrace his steps.

If you think Osoba/Akande, long time allies and business partners will dump Tinubu for Ambo then you are not serious.

If you know the relationship Tinubu have with those men you'd know that NOT even Buhari can break them.

And, Baba Akande is the National Voice of Tinubu.

TonyeBarcanista:

Tinubu is a man of great stature and few words.

Notice that he has NEVER spoke to endorse or not to endorse Ambode or Olu. His loyalists are doing that on his behalf!

Should Buhari decide to fight him, Tinubu will defeat him in Lagos APC (note: Tinubu have alternative) and Buhari may end up losing the support of Tinubu supporters in the Southwest. Truth is, can Buhari afford such gamble just because of Ambode?

Is Buhari even close to Ambode? How long has he even known Ambode sef?

Answers to all your questions is NO!

Akpan107:
In this case, Tinubu hands are tied, the only option left is to support Amode. Whatever plan "B" he may have will be a disaster.

You seem not to know the person you’re talking about...anyway he’ll rather sacrifice the closeness of the presidency to the closeness of his supporters in Lagos.

Why not after Ambode's second term

na so human being be. Always never satisfied. Tinubu will make the greatest mistake of his oolitical life to allow ambode run. Obasanjo did it to Atiku and we all can see the result. Atiku made his mistake when he allowed obasanjo go for second term afyer the disagreement and obasanjo does not forgive. I see ambode like who will torment tinubu if he allows him. Ambode should be removed so that others can learn. People should not always get away with things like this. Tinubu, be wise. Remove ambode else u will loose ur charisma and influence. Simple

What is Ambode's sin? The same people saying that he under performed are the same people campaigning for PMB who underperformed also.

You are definitely an intelligent being
By their comments we shall know them.
Democracy is a test of popularity
Ambode should stop running helter scelter and prove to his party members that he is popular.
You cannot always bite the finger dt fed you successfully.
Ambode came from nowhere, no political structure, he rode on the popularity of chf Tinubu, now that the jagaban requested that party members should vote their choice, he is making Tinubu the vindictive one.
This should not be.
Accept the decision of jagaban and do the needful by supporting Sanwo olu.
Remember, Fashola equally supported you when his preferred candidate did not make it at the party primary election in 2014/15
