Continued..... Page 2 Lawmakers back Sanwo-Olu In a related development, members of the state House of Assembly unanimously expressed support for Sanwo-Olu as the candidate of the APC in the 2019 governorship election in the state. According to a statement by the Chairman of the House Committee on Information, Strategy and Security, Adefunmilayo Tejuoso, the decision was taken at a meeting of the lawmakers which took place yesterday. The meeting was presided over by Speaker Mudashiru Obasa. Of the 40 members of the House, 36 were present at the meeting and all endorsed the decision and duly signed the statement announcing the decision. The lawmakers stated that they were in agreement with the leadership of the party and the GAC which had endorsed Sanwo-Olu for the governorship ticket. The statement read: “At the parliamentary meeting, held on the 29th of September, 2018 at the Lagos State House of Assembly Complex, members do hereby unanimously resolve to support the position of the leadership of All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Governor’s Advisory Council(GAC) in Lagos State on the endorsement of Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu as the APC gubernatorial candidate in the 2019 elections. “The meeting was attended by 36 out of the 40 Honourable members in the House of Assembly.” I will be party’s candidate – Ambode Reacting to the situation, last night, Ambode asked his supporters to remain calm and peaceful, saying the will of the people will prevail and he will become the party’s flag bearer for next year’s elections. The Director General, Ambode Mandate Support Group, AMSG, Hakeem Sulaimon, disclosed this during a press briefing in Ikeja, arguing that the governor’s status alone was a tool that would swing votes in his favour during the primary. Sulaimon stressed that Ambode was capable of winning the APC governorship primary. The DG noted that Ambode was not worried about the rash of endorsements of Sanwo-Olu ahead of the primary, saying Ambode has huge supporters across the state. He disclosed that supporters of the governor held meetings across all 20 local governments and 37 local council development areas, on Friday, and that the support for the governor was overwhelming. “We had a meeting here yesterday and the Chairman of all LGA Chairmen in Lagos State was here and she spoke on behalf of her colleagues as having endorsed His Excellency Mr Akinwunmi Ambode. Here also yesterday, we equally had about 200 ward chairmen here in that meeting and they were equally led by their chairman who is the chair of chair of all ward chairmen in the state,” Sulaimon said. “You see, what truly constitutes the structure of the party is the ward and of course the LGA. Beyond the ward and the LGA, we also have the Councilors because we have 377 of the creation of Lagos State Councilors; we have 377 of the creation of Lagos State ward chairmen and so on. “But again, just this morning, we had an assembly of over 237 Councilors here and at the end of the day, in giving the vote of thanks, one of them stood up to say they were now convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that the only person that would work for their interest and that they have realized that the most endangered political class are the councilors and that they would ensure that they work for His Excellency the Governor in their respective wards and they have assured us that we would get victory. “We have had also groups within the party, we have had the Ndigbos who are party members; we have had market men and women who are party members and of course the biggest endorsement any one can ever get can only come from Community Development Committee (CDCs) and Community Development Associations (CDAs) because everyone of us is a member of one CDA or the other and if all the 3900 CDAs in Lagos State have openly endorsed His Excellency and their representative still came here yesterday to affirm that same endorsement and if you look at this as translating to acceptance, those who are claimed to have endorsed the others, we are supposed to do direct primary if we are going to do that anyway and in direct primary, every vote must count; and at the stakeholders meeting today, 85 per cent of the people in that assembly are actually supporters of Mr Akinwunmi Ambode.” ‘Show of Sportsmanship’ Also, yesterday, the Director General of Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu Campaign Organisation (BOSCO), Mr. Tayo Ayinde, described the decision of Hamzat to step down for his principal as a show of sportsmanship. Ayinde made the remarks in a statement by BOSCO’s Director of Publicity, Sesan Daini. 2 Likes |

inkon: Being a man for once will lead him to political golgotha. I'm not crying for him anyway. I have always described him as a bus stop governor. He does not have what it takes to successfully fight the political establishment that produced him. And after they kick him out, he dare not open his mouth to rat on the financial malfeasance of his godfather, the Jagaban himself. Else, he will rot in EFCC cell till his brain returns to factory settings 137 Likes 7 Shares |

I'm truly beginning to believe that there is something inherently not right with Ambode. An almost 100% gang-up of this nature would be technically impossible for an incumbent Governor who is truly open, approachable and acceptable by all party faithful. It's even difficult to pinpoint anyone standing with him aside from the opposition waiting to capitalize on his misfortune to try exploiting it. He's apparently not a politician but an administrator. I feel sorry for him though, but at least he is settled and will live to be referred to as an ex-Governor of Lasgidi. Enjoy my siggy 136 Likes 9 Shares |

I don't understand this much ado about nothing! I mean it's not as if Tinubu performed half of Ambode's achievements when he was the governor The jazz Tinubu is using on these people must be strong! Ambode was working though he has some loose ends to tie so what is ALL these drama about Mtcheeew Tinubu is the leader He is the contractor He is the commissioner He PRO He is the tax collector He is everything! How will Ambode even perform when he is not in charge Ambode's biggest mistake is not borrowing a leaf from Fashola He allowed Tinubu to dictates for him Then he was known as Tinubu's boy! He (Ambode) still couldn't please him neither did he please Lagosians If the people of Lagos are still willing to give him a chance, why can't Tinubu do the same 93 Likes 9 Shares |

Wiseandtrue: It's because you're not living in Lagos. Ambode is a step down from Fashola and Tinubu performance. Are you telling me you are pleased with the environment filth and poor road condition in the state? Fashola was at loggerhead with Jagaban but his excellent performance spoke for him. 185 Likes 19 Shares |

Is it by force to run through the party. If Ambode truly want to rule Lagos let him go to another party and test his popularity. Anyways if you believe Ambode will win the next election click share and like if you believe he will loose. 73 Likes 44 Shares |

Am shocked that a sitting Governor with more than N25 billion internally generated revenue every single month cannot get or buy himself a renomination ticket after 4 years. What was he doing through out? Sleeping on duty? With half of that amount I'll get myself a presidential ticket in PDP and upstage any God father. This is Nigeria for God sake. He must have messed up so badly that people are ready to take his money and still vote him out. No wonder he's crying and begging from Bourdilon to Aso Rock. I just wish him luck anyway. 5 Likes 1 Share |
