Lagosians did not support Ambode and that's the truth. If lagosians were serious about breaking free from the shackles of godfatherism, the elections outcome would have been different but instead, they were loyal to tinubu. Forget about tinubu's influence on lagos politics, lagosians were not serious.

Akinwunmi Ambode did the right thing for not trying to do in Lagos what Obaseki did in Edo.

Reasons:

1. Ambode had nobody with him in Lagos State House of Assembly unlike Obaseki who enjoys the support of the Speaker of Edo State House of Assembly, Francis Okiye.

2. Ambode don't have the support of his 'Godfathered' deputy unlike Obaseki who has the full support of Philip Shaibu, a loyal and trustworthy deputy.

3. The PDP in Lagos which is under the weak leadership of Bode George has no member in any top political office in the state and in Nigeria compared to Edo state that has active Senators (2) and House of Reps (6) in the National Assembly.

4. Obaseki won the heart of Edo people by silencing the audacious thugs led by Tony Kabaka. Can you say that about Lagos?

5. Obaseki has many sympathisers in his former party APC, who worked for his re-election as Governor. The recognised Edo APC Faction Chairman is a good ally of Obaseki. That can not be said in the case of Ambode. All APC party members in Lagos lick the foot of Tinubu.

What I'm saying is that, it would be foolish for Ambode to pull that Obaseki's stunt in Lagos. Had it been he has done so, it might have damaged his political career.

Though, it is obvious that Muhammadu Buhari hates Godfatherism because he has been a victim of such practice. Now, under him, so many Godfathers were relegated in different States.

It is now up to Ambode who saved his political career to fight back. He lives to fight for good another day. That day should be closer than we all think.

AMBODE IS STILL A POLITICIAN.

You don't understand that the issues are different. It was the party who fought against Ambode not Tinubu perse. Ambode sidelined the party and there's no way even Tinubu could have saved him. it was the party elders and members who rejected Ambode not Tinubu perse, Tinubu have no choice than to abide by the decision of the party, get this right
It is the same scenero in Edo.It was the same party that rejected Obaseki.So what are you talking about

Bottom line is Ambode gave up without a fight and he still lost.... To me it would have been better for him to lose under the platform of the PDP than to be weeded out in the primary election by the APC


politic is not run that way, who will fight and run away will live to fight another day. It’s better to wait for the right time in politic.

He didn’t put up a little fight and maybe who knows the international community would have come to his aide just like edo state. The edo election would have been rigged if not the threat from USA and uk. Had it been Ambode moved to pdp things would have been different cos even if it’s two weeks Lagos would have been ruled by pdp. The guy too fear abeg.

Larryhoover:
Another point was that Ambode ran a one man show and he was not a people person and neither a grassroot politician. He felt being loyal to Tinubu alone could save him without the party member. Truth be told, Ambode orchestrated his own predicament, even though Tinubu could have saved his ass but a lot of bad blood had developed with party chieftains prior to the elections. The irony is that if Tinubu had continue to support Ambode then, Tinubu's influence might have been revolted against and probably giving Jimi Agbaje a better opportunity during the last election as alot of people would prefer Jimi to Ambode then. Hence the need to bring in Sanwo Olu into the game. The same revolution against Ambode was done to Gbenga Ashafa, despite being a Tinubu boy, he lost Lagos East to Peperito that passed on recently due to Covid complications.

The same thing could have happen to Fashola in 2011 but when Tinubu saw the body language of the people, he had to align or else ACN would have lost Lagos to PDP then as PDP was ready to give Fashola an open platform should he be out of ACN.

In a nutshell, the saving grace for Obaseki was that he was a people person and got empathy after disqualification from APC which Ambode didn't enjoy.

However, I think the race for 2023 has begun and Edo election seems to be the Beginning.
Your analysis is a bit wrong. Gbenga ashafa is from Lagos east. Is a native there and won't go against ambode who represent Lagos east.
He fully supported him because Epe people comprises of eko epes and ijebu epes. We don't do asslicking in our region thats the main reason he couldn't return. Forget all this manipulation of "its the parties choice"
Tinubu has been installing king who not from royal family in Lagos why didn't he respect the peoples choice?

People would have supported Ambode if he had put a fight. No matter how big Tinubu is, all it takes to crash his empire is one man with a brave heart.

People won't throw their wieght behind you if you are not willing to put up a fight. Amobode is a coward period

Ambode is simply not a man he is forever afraid of Tinubu and that is why he will forever live under the shadows of Tinubu.

He is a weakling who is afraid of death. Confront your fears and use your advantage to gain a vantage space. Obaseki went to this war trusting God alone and he used the strength of the opponent to his own advantage.

All Obaseki was saying was godfatherism was bad and everybody keyed into it to kill godfatherism. Nobody bothered to listen to Ize Iyamu's simple agenda for whatever it was worth and Oshiomole didn't help matters as he was everywhere trying his best to foist his candidate on Edolites.

I dont think so. He was fierce. He did the right thing by calculations.
He was already putting things in place to oust the godfather, but for the reasons stated above.
Ambode will return as a governor obe day.

Lagos politics is about area fathers, that even the NURTW, work with.
They had been working for the godfather before ambode, they are the party local governments managers.
They are very rich too.
Ambode ought have worked to break in or raise the kind of those men.

I encourage you to stop castigating all Yorubas, it will not help you, Yoruba is the only tribe in Nigeria where blood brothers can belong to the two major religion and still eat from the same plate. it is hate to insinuate that Yorubas are under mental slavery. Oyo is PDP if you see APC as enslaving the people of Yoruba, it means that Imo state is under mental slavery, thank you.

Those saying he should have fought either don't know the political weight of Tinubu in Lagos politics or are overestimating the influence of PDP in Lagos politics.

It's only the masses of Lagos in unity with God that can demystify Tinubu

These are lame excuses. Ambode failed to utilize his four years judiciously. There are key people he must have in his pockets. He has Lagos funds. Why couldn't he buy the speaker and members? Political naivety!! Must he be governor at all costs? If I find out I cant win, I will rock the boat by sponsoring another candidate, say Speaker to counter the Tinubu onslaught. He could still win in another candidate and scuttle the plot against him. He was weak truly. He is a chicken bone politician!!

This implies Obaseki is very strong and always willing notwithstanding the support from his loyal deputy. If Ambode had the right cartels, Lagos would be long free from godfatherism
majorly, the PDP platform in Lagos in too shaky. In short, the politics dynamics of Lagos and Edo are too far apart to compare Ambode and Obasaki situations. APC as a party are well aware of what Lagos brings to the table and Kano as well, same as Rivers for PDP. So Ambode did not just have any way around it, once the party decision was against him.

If there is a will then there will be a way.

I agreed with some of the things you said but not all and don't forget that the timing of both elections were different and buhari needed lagos then.
Don't forget obaseki started planning early but they were deceiving ambode and praising him only to decimate him when he least expected it.
Now no ministerial appointment with EFCC pay him visits frequently.
But I still think ambode gave up easily without a fight, his descendants should be ashamed of him.


Why we they ashame sir? We must learn how to accept defeat in election, to be governor or president shouldn't be do or die sir, and your types are reason political candidates kill and maim to win elections.

Meanwhile nos one reason obaseki won, has to do mainly because of 2023.............Elrufai/Fayemi camp is doing everything possible to reduce influence of Tinubu b4 2023, a sitting governor is a big factor to determine presidential Candidate,
Everyone knew what happened, in Osun, kano and kogi, enormous federal government involvement won those state for the current Governors.
But in Edo, it appears as if federal even supported PDP, .......if federal can be neutral in state elections, it will be very difficult to beat incumbents that are recontesting.
