How?
Did he lie

bonechamberlain:
at the end Ambode would still be APC governorship candidate. left for tinubu, he would have decamped or formed another party with sanwo Olu as governorship candidate. but can't do that because of buhari and his cabals.
tinubu was a godfather to be reckoned with under PDP Federal government, but under his own party Apc federal govt, he is being tamed every minute and might loose relevance.
There is a lesson here.

Nauttyprof:


There is nothing like being tamed here. The elders in Lagos APC are all against Ambode even Tinubu’s enemies back then who felt cheated for choosing Ambode as the party's candidate.

If he is being tamed, how come Ambode has no rest of mind and he is running here and there just to secure his seat.

Ambode to me is not politically sound.

Sadly there is no law specifically protecting patient records in Nigeria so no law would have been breached in revealing any clinical records from Gbagada general hospital in this case. Also it's unlikely the person who leaked the information was a doctor so the Hippocratic oath was not breached either.

Daniyke88:
" Into whatever houses I enter…whatever, in connection with my professional practice or not, in connection with it, I see or hear, in the life of men, which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret”

The inference above is the medical Hippocratic oath of secrecy that protects the rights of patients and their medical records from being divulged to a third party. Health and ill-health is often a deeply personal journey and the fear of stigma and shame keeps many sufferers from seeking medical attention. So it is of the utmost importance that personal information shared remains between the patient and the care giver.

deomelo:






No, we do have laws designed to protect health information in Nigeria and unauthorized release is a criminal offense.


Obviously, Ambode broke the law and the fact that a sitting governor and the chief law enforcement officer of the state not only broke the law but did so on live TV was disheartening.

Ambode's action revealed a major character flaw, diminished temperament and lack of mental fitness.

It's up to Sanwo Olu to legally go after Ambode, but I'm sure he won't, he'll just keep taking the moral high ground.


Rigjht now,Ambode is a law breaker

Bjergtrolde:


Have you considered that the information could have come from a family member or friend?

babadee1:


This is very interesting. Thanks for the info. The bottom line is that Ambode lacks character otherwise he would not have descended to such a low level to fight dirty.

Ioannes:


Probably not. But it shows him as petty and ineffective. How can he employ such a man in his cabinet. I hear the man he's trying to tarnish his image holds some important post in his government.

That's a blight on the governor too. It's a double edged sword that cuts both ways.

deomelo:




Ambode released the info regardless of how it was obtained.

Bjergtrolde:


I am not aware of any where it says you cannot release any information already available in public domain.

bareal:


Oga... I am only enjoying the drama. They are all a bunch of selfish people.

livinbygrace:
Ambode is very stupid for making such accusation against his opponents.He has shown not to be a good politician and should get ready to leave that office .We should also remind him of how he squandered tax payers money on his mistresses and recently purchase a house for Mercy Aigbe recently in lekki while abandoning Many project including Lagos Badagry axis.
You can only deceive the gullible followers but can’t deceive us .We are ready for you and you are leaving that office soon.

thatigboman:
A well known drug mafia ordained a mental patient to govern a state like lagos. And u say ambode should keep quiet about it?

drkay:
I'm sure that the medical record officer that dig Sanwo-Olu's file out didn't take the oat because its not meant for him neither was it meant for an accountant like Ambode.
Leave physicians oat out of this dirty politics abeg, Ambode isn't a Doctor.

deomelo:



If you are going to come up with such lame and ignorant excuse, shouldn't you first at least prove or show us facts that it was in the public domain.

Btw, regardless how the info was obtained, it's still against the law to release it.


Stop coming up with ignorant and irrelevant excuses to justify a lawless and criminal act

livinbygrace:


I guess you should ask your parent where they were in 1971 before you spewed that trash.

ebenco2000:
you guys are just yearning nonsense, the person with mental case is Ambode himself. Sanwolu was the MD of Lagos State Property development corporation under the same government, why didn't mental case Ambode say anything then. Ambode is a drowning man and he knows it, he is just trying to drag as many pple in the mud b4 he leaves but he is forgetting that even though Fashola didnt like him, Fashola was matured enough to still campaign for the idiot. this is a fight he cant win, he should carry his big head back to Epe .

Bjergtrolde:


Why are you taking this personal? Did I hit a sore nerve? any way, have a lovely day.

deomelo:




Nothing personal, just letting you know that ignorance is not and can never be an excuse in any court of law.

You can not break the law and defend yourself by saying other people did first before you.


It's like saying you stole and you shouldn't be punished for stealing because other people stole too.

Ambode broke the law, he committed a criminal offense.

Privileged people like Ambode won't go to jail, but you will for 2 long years.

Bjergtrolde:


You keep saying its against the law but you are yet to quote which section of the statutes he broke. Unfortunately, he did not take any oath to protect patient confidentiality and so he broke no law.

annnikky:
So in essence what u guyz are saying is that ambode was right all along that the man was mentally unstable

israelmao:
If Buhari can rule "certificatelessly" so tell me what can happen in Nigeria.

statusquoante:


That's the Tinubu godfather effect.
Tinubu made most of the appointments.
Expect a more independent Ambode in his second term.

Paollo:
Now they are playing dirty

annnikky:

thats ur governor u are talking about bare

amanikondo:

You are uneducated.

Kwamecron:

No wonder Ambode want die to the Clift of governance, the Altitude of his wife to overwhelmed of power abusing relative ppl and reverend show how derailed their family his. Ambode, u are a gunners
