Councilors in all the 20 Local Government Areas and 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) of Lagos State on Sunday said that are behind are behind the second term bid of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, saying ‘courageously we are saying it boldly that we have adopted the Ambode’s second term’ The Councilors alos debunked a media report claiming that they shunned an invitation extended to them by the State Governor, saying the story was another fabrication by detractors who are jittery over imminent defeat in the rescheduled governorship primary election of All Progressives Congress (APC) on Monday. Addressing a press conference at the headquarters of Ambode Mandate Support Group (AMSG) in Ikeja, the Councilors, who had earlier endorsed the second term bid of the Governor, said the false report published by a national newspaper was unfortunate, adding that it was particularly surprising that the said newspaper failed to fact-check the story before publishing. APC primary: Tension, anxiety of the moment got the better of Ambode – Sanwo-Olu Leader of the Councilors’ Forum, Hon Kolejo-Monsuru Adeniyi, who addressed the media in company of hundreds of his colleagues to show that they were united in support for the Governor, said the report should be ignored in its entirety as it did not represent the true state of affairs. “There is no iota of truth in the report that we shunned Governor Ambode’s invitation and we are here today to say to the whole world that all Councilors in Lagos State are behind the second term bid of His Excellency, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode. Today, we are courageously saying it boldly that we have adopted the Governor for second term. “This is the second time we are doing this. The first time was in Amuwo-Odofin and today being 30th of September, 2018, we are saying it again that all Councilors in Lagos State, we are endorsing Governor Ambode for second term,” Adeniyi said. Responding, Director General of AMSG, Hon Hakeem Sulaimon said the Councilors deserved to be commended for standing firm with their decision to support Governor Ambode for re-election, saying they have done what party leaders failed to do. He said: “I congratulate you because those who are supposed to be the conscience of our party have failed to do so but you (Councilors) have been courageous enough to come out and endorse His Excellency, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, the Governor of Lagos State for second term. “Yesterday, we had a meeting with Councilors here and while the meeting was going on, some people quickly went online. Vanguard online to be specific and they said Councilors in Lagos State shunned Akinwunmi Ambode. Tribulations of Ambode: When good performance is not enough “Those behind the false news know the implication of the endorsement because Councilors are truly the grassroots’ managers because elections can only be conducted at the Ward level and that Councilors are the true representatives of the people at the Ward level.They know that with Councilors being with His Excellency, an attempt to manipulate the process will be very difficult, and that was why they were desperate to present fake news to the public,” Sulaimon said. The AMSG boss said the Governor was particularly appreciative of his endorsement by the Councilors, assuring them that he was committed to their welfare and issues surrounding their work in the various LGAs and LCDAs across the State. “The Governor is not only appreciative of the fact that not only that you (Councilors) came to endorse him again yesterday but that after you heard the fake news, you have come again to physically debunk the report which your massive turn out here,” Sulaimon said. While urging the Councilors to go out enmasse to mobilize members of the party and vote for Governor Ambode on Monday, Sulaimon urged them not to be intimidated, adding: “Once you have your membership slip, insist on the fact that you must vote.”

Wow!!!!! APC . . . . Godfather vs Godson.
Tinubu. . . . Over to you!

CHANGE! CHANGE! CHANGE!

* money don tok . . . . nyansh don open *

This is the last chance for afonjas to free themselves from tinubu slavery because even if tinubu retires from life he will never do without handing the afonjas over to a new and younger slave master . I have no business with people who choose to be enslaved both father and mother and even ancestors practices different varieties of slavery. All I'm offering is a little piece of advice.. Afonja free thyself then strive to be also free from the shackles of your Fulani masters. To be honest you really need it.

The way Ojukwu has continued to enslave the mental, pyschological and emotional states of Igbos, even many generations after him! You can say Tinubu enslaved Lagos but Ojukwu put the entire Igbo race in an everlasting slavery!!

Ambode is a typical definition of a real man. If he eventually didn't win the primary, he would know he gave all he had and not just backing down like a coward! And if he wins the primary, then Tinubu's relevance is reduced to nothing! Let the primary be free, fair and credible.

WHY THEY MAY IMPEACH AMBODE

If Ambode doesn't pledge his support for whoever Jagaban anoints, they will impeach him.
Why would they be in a hurry to impeach him, you will ask?
Lagos money is required for the prosecution of the elections. Without Lagos money, River State's money will edge out APC candidate in Lagos.

The Governor of Lagos State is the custodian of the much needed Lagos money.
A wounded Ambode will not allow them a Kilometre near Lagos Treasury, so they will need someone else with the vault combinations to prosecute the elections.

That responsibility may fall on the current Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly because the Deputy Governor, a woman, may not have the liver to grant them unfettered access to the Treasury.

They will impeach Ambode, get the Deputy Governor to resign with a promise of Federal appointment and pave the way for the Speaker to run the show.

To prevent Ambode from using another platform to contest against APC, they will release allegations of financial impropriety against him and leave him to clear his name with the EFCC.

Even if he does not win the primary election, Tinubu's satanfatherisn is already reduced because of what the governor said yesterday. Remember the marginal difference between the total votes for Ambode and Jimi Agbaje in 2015.

Before yesterday, I didn't know the other candidate but after governor's press, I now know better just like other lagosians

Ipob & Igbos should produce video to back up this claim. They have been producing videos from Ambode not stepping down, to Tinubu n Sanwo.
We understand millions of Igbo on NL are diehard liars, the video will go a long way in allaying those fears.

Says a bigoted Igbo of no significance in this life or in the afterlife.

I am yet to see a single thread where any Yoruba sane or insane opened a thread concerning the governorship primaries going on in the East but senselessly hopeless rejects like you will carry another man problem for head dragging yours on the floor.
