If there was any such thing as a very loyal Yoruba man loyal to another Yoruba man then Ambode should easily fall into that classification.

Ambode was at one time the Commissioner for Finance under Bola Tinubu's kleptomaniac governorship and on several occasion was picked up by the Ribadu-led EFCC during the Obasanjo administration to shed more light on the massive corruption going on in Alausa.

Through out his several strings and elongated periods of arrest by the EFCC, Ambode never for once snitched on Tinubu despite mounted pressure directly from Aso Rock.

It is important to relate this special relationship which Ambode once had with Tiinubu - same relationship of willing sacrificial and loyal lamb qualities which made Tinubu to solidly throw his weight in supporting for Ambode replacing Fashola. To elaborate how determined Tinubu was in seeing that Ambode ascend to the governorship position, the then out going and two-termed governor (Fashola) had no single say on who was to be his successor - an ignoble and demeaning exit for a governor!

In my personal view, I believe strongly that the fall-out between Ambode and Tinubu isn't merely over godfather monthly payments alone but rather the fact that Buhari was working secretly with Ambode over his re-election bid.

To put this into proper perspective, Tinubu's stronghold of the SW political landscape has seriously been pruned by Buhari. Other than Lagos and Osun, Tinubu exerts little or no political influence in other states in the SW. Ekiti with Fayemi's emergence wasn't as a result of Tinubu but rather Aso Rock's rigging machinery. In Ondo, Buhari worked against the emergence of Tinubu's preferred candidate. Ogun is a no-go area for Tinubu as the current governor (Amosun) has consolidated all party structures within that state under his own control. In Oyo state, Tinubu had never made any solid advance to be considered as a major political broker. Whatever small influence Tinubu exerts in Oyo came about after the power vacuum that preceded the death of the strong man of Ibadan politics, Lamidi Adedibu.

I am very sure Tinubu was privy to Ambode working directly with Buhari towards the latter's re-election bid. Tinubu felt that he must be the only person to be credited with a Buhari win in the SW from where he hopes to negotiate a juicy settlement. Aso Rock must have seen Tinubu's demands for supporting Buhari's re-election as oputrageous and so went directly to Ambode.

This I believe is the only sin Ambode has committed i.e. in usurping the the powers of Tinubu.

Lol

Power is transient

Which message?

Buhari will dump Tinubu after 2019.

Buhari will loose 2019 sef.

Na we go send both of them message 2019

Tinubu is really an ignorant fool.

He knows that in election matters only the governors can deliver a state for the presidency.

He is not a governor and thankfully he will never emerge as one again!

Tinubu wants to play the governor's role. Amosun will not share credit with Tinubu after Buhari wins Ogun. So also will Akerodolu or Fayemi. So Tinubu is weary of Aso Rock going through Ambode. This he knows will be used in future to shut him up if he comes demanding for compensation.

With Ambode out of APC governorship race ad his stooge about set to emerge as Governor, Tinubu believes he can take credit for delivering at least Lagos and Osun.

I won't be surprised if Lagos churns out 5million votes for Buhari in the next election as the relatively low votes Buhari garnered in Lagos compared to Kano or Katsina was what the northerners used to shut him up early in the life of this administration when he was running his mouth that he was the one that single-handedly made Buhari president.

Ok

Sharrap

Please let us get the facts straight. Ambode was never a commissioner in Lagos state. He was Permanent Secretary and then Accountant General.

Ambode was never a commissioner in Lagos. When Tinubu was Governor, Ambode was an accountant in a Local government from there to Alausa (auditor).

If you can't get that simple fact, how would what you have written make sense?

And you that refuses to aknowledge the well known and widespread fact that Tinubu isn't a Lagosian nko?

The thread isn't about what capacity Ambode served but if or not Ambode was ever detained by the EFCC.


You can do a grammar check as well while you are looking for ways to discredit my opinion.

I am not getting into this useless pissing contest with you.

I have stated my opinion and I have presented some anectdotes as best as I can recall.

If you have nothing sensible to contribute to refute my assertions being that Tinubu wanted Ambode out so as he can claim to have delivered Lagos for Buhari then please kindly do a spell checker.

Nonsense!

Enough ot y this tinubu issue. We all know that tinubu is a goat. Infact all yorubas are foolish and useless. Idiots.

Your forefathers are mad. What an unfortunate child you are.

Its about time you Yorubas wake up and realize that the rest of the country are seeing you for what you truly are.

Tinubu's greedy blind ambition will not only lead to his end but will end up pitching you against your lords and masters up north.

As long as you continue to back that tout, the rest of the Nation including your Awusa-Fulani overlords will come and see you as touts!

time will tell

And the conspiracy theories continue
