Exactly why his political career just ended.

Him and his cronies kept biting the finger that picked them from obscurity to relevance. Ambode has a reason for mentioning Aregbesola many times in this write up.

When Tinubu picked him, Aregbesola was the first to say at that Tinubu's inner caucus meeting that he is making a mistake picking Ambode and will regret it. Ambode heard it and kept that grudge.

First mistake Ambode made after he was sworn in as the Governor, was to go to Alimosho and tried to break Aregbesola's political structure down for no reason at all. Alimosho and that part of Lagos is controlled by Aregbesola,and this move angered Tinubu and the whole APC hierarchy in Lagos.

Ambode drew FIRST BLOOD and he paid for it politically.
sir please enlighten me. Does Rauf clout extend to Lagos?

Aregbesola clout in Lagos cannot be underestimated. When you get to the ipaja, Egbeda,Agege and those Axis up to the sango axis, you will know him.

He built his political clout in Lagos. Even Tinubu knows he dare not lose Aregbe in his inner caucus. Its unfortunate people don't know the power Aregbesola commands in lagos.

Rauf Aregbesola started as a commisioner in Lagos

Just like Igbokwe and Ben Akabueze were commissioners in Lagos wouldnt stop them from having a clout in their home state

Yaya is a Rep from Lagos and from Ogun, Lai Mohamed son is a HOA member in Lagos and father is from Kwara

Aganga is from Edo and he got a ministerial slot from Lagos

All the road in Egbeda, Iyana-Ipaja axis was tarred by Aregbe when he was commissioner in 1999. Almost all the streets were tarred even if your passage too wide sef, Aregbe fit tar am

People loved him to death because they are not a people who forget good deeds

3. You awarded contracts to companies that lacked the capacity From You Awarding the Light Up Lagos project to a sole contractor and most of those projects have failed...
Thereby rendering LSPWC and state civil Engineers redundant...

4. You crippled Strong projects making them move at snake pace From Light Rail to Eko Atlantic City etc...

5.You promised Lekki Airport and Seaport but you left none...

6.You brought in Visionscape that has less trucks than LAWMA and made PSP operatives Jobless thereby Leading to a dirty Lagos...

7. Traffic was unprecedented during your time sir due to your failure to build Linking roads...

8. There was No major Infrastructural development in Education sector...

9.Seminars for teachers was not really available like what We'd before...

10. You didn't live up to the hype of doing better than BRF...

Nothing likewise. More reason we should advocate for good governance and stop taking sides with greedy, self-serving politicians.

Thank you governor Ambode, we love you and we are proud of your achievement in Lagos. History will speak well of you. Soon, godfatherism will be phased out in this country.

Aregbesola is back into Lagos politics.

I heard he is now a member of GAC (Governor's advisory council), an elite political body that decides the fate of politics in lagos.

Ambode was against this move because he believes Aregbe shouldn't come in and meddle with Lagos state affairs. Note, Fashola and his two deputy governors are currently not a member of GAC. I expect Ambode won't be a member too after his tenure.

It is also being rumored that Aregbe has also tried to take over the campaign structure of Sanwoolu and Hamzat.

Men, Lagos politics is something else sha, and I enjoy the intrigues and drama.
