Ambode Had ‘secret Meeting’ With APC Electoral Panel Before Primary by CilicMarin: 9:36pm On Oct 02, 2018 |
Members of the APC electoral panel sent from Abuja to conduct the Lagos governorship primary had a secret meeting with Akinwunmi Ambode, the state governor, on Monday, insiders have told TheCable. The Clement Ebri-led committee was “holed up” at their hotel till 1pm on Tuesday while voting went on at the over 300 wards in Lagos, with results showing Jide Sanwo-Olu clearly in the lead. But the committee later came out to disown the election, announcing that it was going to conduct a fresh primary. TheCable understands that the panel — made up of Ebri, Ahmed Mahmud Gumel (secretary), Chidi Duru, Clever Egbeji, Clever Ikisikpo and Jerry Ugokwe — arrived Lagos on Monday and told the state chairman of APC, Tunde Balogun, that they wanted to meet with Ambode. Balogun protested against the request, pointing out that it was improper since Ambode was one of the aspirants in the election, TheCable learnt. The committee met with the governor on Monday A senior party official told TheCable: “The committee members insisted that they must see Ambode. Balogun took them to Alausa to see him. After the photo session, Ambode invited the committee members for a private meeting. “Balogun followed them in, but Ambode asked him to excuse them because he wanted a private chat. Balogun then left. After about 30 minutes, the committee members came out and said the governor had arranged Protea Hotel in Ikeja for them. They rejected the hotel provided by the state chapter of APC. “They then went to the hotel while some interesting bags followed them later. They stayed in that hotel with two members of the Ambode campaign team. They were there all through Monday night till 1pm on Tuesday after party members had voted.” Ebri announcing a fresh primary on Tuesday The committee later addressed the media late Tuesday afternoon to deny knowledge of the primary that was held. Ebri said at the press conference: “First and foremost, yesterday (Monday) we held a stakeholders meeting, certain submissions were made and on the basis of these submissions, I contacted the national headquarters and they asked us to adjust the procedures in line with the provisions. “Having done that, we now had to reach out to the party executives to submit the ist that could be utilised for the purpose of posting officials to supervise the elections. The list only arrived at about an hour ago and so anything that was done without the list that we wanted, because we wanted harmony, so we had to wait for them. “There was no way we could have gotten up at 8am, sat down in this place for about eight to nine hours without seeing anybody and then I would go ahead and do something. It is only fair that when you don’t see one party, you have to wait and be patient and that is what has brought us to point.” He said the primary would start any moment “from now”, although he also said he was waiting for further instructions from the national headquarters. Ambode has fallen out of favour with his godfather, Bola Tinubu, who has now openly canvassed for Sanwo-Olu. Habib Aruna, chief press secretary to Ambode, could not be reached for comments as he neither answered calls nor replied a text message sent to him. https://www.thecable.ng/.W7PDtWRFtRE.twitter 3 Likes 2 Shares

The day a monkey is Destined to die, all the trees will become slippery... The above is only applicable to slim monkeys. Overfed ones will die a natural death on the trees... Ambo is like the overfed monkey. All things being equal, if Tinubu withdraws his Support for Sanwo-olu and chooses not to support any one of them, Sanwo-olu will still win Ambode. Recent happenings have proven this. Ambode is just being unnecessarily stubborn and making his downfall more memorable. 77 Likes 5 Shares |

Thiefnubuu continue your looting, in 1990s he was staying in a flat in London, 1999 they made him a governor after they murdered funsho Williams in his bedroom. Today he's a billionaire collecting 15% of lagos generated revenue. And you people say God is not wonderful? 46 Likes |

Lol He is in APC and the governor for heaven's sake. They allowed Lord Tinubu role out his drums and machinery. Advertised his brown teeth from ward to ward. They called what he did balderdash and Cancelled it without consulting him. That's the definition of humiliation. Mark my word. Tinubus end is near. If you doubt me...read in between the lines of Oshiomoles press brief. Oshiomole begged, President Begged, governors in the APC governors forum begged. Party leaders from other regions begged. The self acclaimed owner of Lagos refused. lying that party leaders in the state refused and he will stick with them. Who are the party leaders? Is he not the chairman of GAC. And G22? It's difficult to win the federal government of Nigeria. They control the Police, Army, air force and most importantly INEC. They decide when it's right. Buhari is not weak like Jonathan. If Tinubu bites more than he can chew. They will silence him and nothing will happen. They took away Osun with Police and Army allowing PDP to hope only in court. The centre simply postponed this primaries to perfect how Ambode comes in and they can guaranty that Buhari will win half of Lagos in 2019. Once the permutations are clear. Boom. Away with Tinubu. Once they face him other governors in the region will back track. They will come after him so much so that those who worship him now will be amazed. Tinubu either lacks advisers or he doesn't listen 35 Likes 2 Shares |

Whatever the case, the primary election was held earlier today and a winner has emerged. Ambode should congratulate the winner and rally support for him to win the general election. Those who opposed Ambode's choice back in 2015 set aside their opposition and worked for his emergence as governor of the state including then governor fashola. He should do the same now and support the choice of the party. Democracy is all about the people. 17 Likes 1 Share |
