Baseless comment.

Why didn't Buhari ask Tinubu to start your so-called SW islamisation by divorcing his Christian wife...

Oga, he disbanded LAWMA, to Lagosians like me, this is unforgivable.
How can you sack LAWMA??
Na wa o.

Simply because LAWMA was an inefficient 18th century agency where party members are rewarded as POPs. I almost invested in waste management in Lagos but the whole system then look too chaotic to me. How can waste management be effective if you have hundreds of companies providing their service with no working system and rundown trucks. Waste management is not done that way in working and well planned cities. At most, there shouldn't be more than 5 - 10 well funded outfits each with a system run by waste management professionals. Not party members who have no interest in providing the service. I understand Ambode brought in Visionscape. But that's a strategic mistake. He ought not to have put all his eggs in a single basket. There ought to have been several operators, like 5. Obviously all the new operators wouldn't have failed and the general masses would be faced with waste issues. The more efficient ones would have fill in where any ones failed.

Oh, shut it, you shameless one!

I remember how you people were attacking whoever criticised Ambode

Suddenly, you all want him out just because one man is fed up

The article focused on the ills of Ambode without mentioning how he has done so much in Lagos in three years

Show me that man who has ruled as governor without faults

Hypocrisy must be a Nigerian!

What did Ambode do?
Build bus stop?
He worked 3 years with nothing to show and you want people to continue to praise his stagnancy because they don`t want to show you that they are Tinubu`s followers??
Abeg think small naw.
Why you hate Tinubu like this, ehn?

How can almost the whole of Lagos be wrong?
Think...

Oh! I forgot, you believe so much in the superstitious.

If Tinubu reverses his decision and backs Ambode this same fellow will wield his pen to draft, "Why Lagosians Support Ambode and Tinubu's Decision to Back Him: Continuity Matters".

Hypocrites with no mind of their own.

So you still dont get it.

Tinubu actually reversed his decision after meeting with PMB but it was the lagos APC stalwarts that insisted it is over for Ambode and even threatened Tinubu that they will disgrace his leadership if he dares force Ambode on them.

Many stories are twisted.

stop it abeg, did you just said lawma under fashola is inefficient ? that's ridiculous , when we are still clamoring for FG to liberalise POWER and allow private organisation and individuals to go into power generation and distribution so that we can overcome the lingering power issues.

Power generation and distribution is in the hands of few well funded organisation just like you wants for LAWMA, tell me how much progress have we made with power supply

From wiki:

Akinwunmi Ambode (born June 14, 1963) is the Governor of Lagos State. He was a civil servant for 27 years and a financial consultant before running for public office as Governor of Lagos State in 2015.

Ambode ran for office of the Governor of Lagos State in April 2015 as a member of the All Progressives Congress, the state's ruling party. He won the election, just defeating the second-place candidate Jimi Agbaje of the People Democratic Party by 150,000 votes.[1] He began his tenure as the governor of Lagos on 29 May 2015, succeeding former governor Babatunde Fashola.

On 2nd October 2018, Ambode, who ought to have been the de facto choice of his political party, the All Progressives Congress was ultimately lashed -waist trainer and all- by Babajide Sanwo-Olu, a previously very much unknown political chess piece chosen by party chieftain and god daddy of South-West Nigeria politics, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Why Lagosians switched loyalty from Ambode to Sanwoolu.

Ambode with no political clout, no political base was chosen and backed by the entire party structure against a Jimi Agbaje, a heavy weight. Fashola campaigned and toured the state with him, Fashola singled-handedly ran the campaign..I read about the Ikorodu and Mushin rally.

Fashola took him round the state and made sure Jimi Agbaje with the Fed might was defeated. Fashola despite the beef between them, despite the fact that Supo Shasore his candidate lost at the primaries put the party first and ensure Ambode was successful.

Rather than acknowledged his predecessor, he started a campaign of calumny against him, releasing documents to tarnish his image. He went after contractors, abandoned some projects. Party elders intervened oga no listen..He must ruin Fashola.

-Removed Oresanya LAWMA boss, sacked LASAA boss, sacked LAMATA boss, disorganized LASEB, disorganized LAWMA, public works, changed KAI to LAGESC. Oga calm down, he no listen.

-Sacked over 25000 staff of Lawma in one day and introduced visionscape that was dead on arrival.

-Sacked Alausa Chaplain because wife was not first to take holy communion.

-Increased Toll fees and property tax.

-Treating electorates with disdain. No communication and accessible.

-Abandoning the Lagos healthcare plan.

-Dilapidated infrastructure.

-Unconcern to traffic gridlock

-Disengaged almost 300 health volunteers who have put five years of their lifetime into volunteering for Lagos state primary healthcare system. Stepped into data gathering and management. They have become experts in the data system. Sack them just because FASHOLA recruited them.

-Nobody could reach him to advise him.
Till today Oga Ade is yet to provide land for National Housing project despite Fashola's plea as minister of Housing.. 30 states have.

-He is personally vindictive of anyone that criticizes him.

-He threw the mother of the former National Legal adviser out of his house because he opposed him.

-He threw more that 5000 street sweeper and refuse worker off their job gave to a new company Lagos was spending N300m on waste now it N930m yet the whole place is dirty,

-His commissioners can not call. He does not pick calls except he calls them.

-Projects they send to him are only approved if his cronies are given the jobs even when they are not qualified since they did not bid.

-He has only constructed One bridge at Abule-egba and has massive road projects, what of housing, what of health, what of school, what of job/employment creation.

-The flood and traffic in Lagos and pot holes everywhere is because as the practice he refused to release fund for drain clearance since he does not have cronies willing to do it,

-He gave all the road projects to one contractor that is now over whelmed.

-Lagos exco meeting used to take 12 hrs and continue next day but now its 3-4 hours because he listens to no idea or arguments, all he say is "who is Governor".

-Lagos is about continuity so why abandon all the projects left by Fashola like Badagry express way, the Light rail Project, Housing projects....Fashola gave jobs to party members depending on their competency.

-Fashola never used siren but Ambode closes road if he wants to pass causing pains and traffic.

-He has made himself governor of Epe while he did commendable well in touching Epe his home town, but it was too lopsided and he and his cronies flaunt it.

-Removal of Commissioner Ganiyu Johnson (works) TP Anifiwose (Physical planning) because they disagreed with him on a process. They are party men since 1999, building the party, people and policies, he joined APC in July 2014

-At logger heads with all party elders on whose shoulder he was hoisted on us in 2014. A lot more i hear but i will stop here......Now it is not TINUBU, it's the party elders and members and for growth of our party they said let's go for primaries.

Let nobody pity him cos he is the architect of his problems.

I never knew people hear about this until today. Part of the reason was that they protested for their 8months allowance to be paid. You refused to regularise them as planned only to issue a memo to sack them.

It’s hard to reach that conclusion, sir. We knowthat politicians are experts at using proxies to fulfil their wishes. Someone can argue, quite easily, that Tinubu who started it, continued it using proxies after pressure from Osi & Buhari who were uncomfortable with the outwardness. You see what I mean?

Either way it is hard to argue that Tinubu who started it and is quite influential in Lagos & the SW couldn’t court the approval of the stalwarts. The stalwarts, even in their numbers, are not more influential than Tinubu.
