Ambode is an Ondo man while Obaseki is a full Benin man and who know Ambode in Lagos ? He is a son of immigrant in Lagos state and can he show us the house of his Great & Grandparents in Lagos ? Because he claimed that he's from my local government but we know ourselves when is turn to son of soil. I always laugh when those chest beaters from other side of Niger bridge always to they know history or control Lagos. |

Every political appointee in that state has a recommendation letter from one man. and it is not easy to go against your master unless you have got likely power, money and connection. like they say, Edo no be Lagos. |

oluwaSavage: There is nothing like Baba Sope or Amala politics in Lagos. Yes, Tinubu is highly regarded, but he is not the only one who is highly regarded in the top echelon of Lagos politics. Tinubu and Fashola had their own squabbles too, yet Fashola finished 8 years uninterrupted. Ambode created his own downfall. He was not a party governor. He showed his elitist side by disregarding the structure that believed in him. There are some very influential party members in Lagos whom you just cannot push aside. They may not be rich, but they are experienced politicians who know how to pull the crowd and the goodwill of Lagosians. They are scattered all over Lagos, from Gbagada to Badagry. Disregard these people, and your goodwill will disappear. Also, Ambode could have had Fashola's grace against all odds only if he had worked just as hard as Fashola worked. For 4 years, what did Ambode do? How did he carry on with Fashola's legacies, especially in terms of road and rail projects which Lagos needs very much to contain its chronic holdup issues? They couldn't have tried what they did to Ambode with Fashola because Fashola had built a solid following. Even Tinubu must have realized that fighting Fashola would have undermined his reputation in Lagos. But Ambode was unpopular. He was the root cause of his own downfall. 1 Like |

Viruscorona:I concur with you on the above. But truth be told, Lagos political environment is an anomaly,considering the political thugs who would even be shielded by law enforcement officials e.g the case in Oshodi during the presidential elections. PDP was the clear favorite of the electorate in that area but we all know how it went. |

fuckingAyaya:You are complete bastard for saying this. Who is Ambode? Was it not the same Jagaban Borgu that lifted him up politically? Yoruba don't support a nonentity and too arrogant people like him. A clergyman was innocently punished for no offence under his watch. Mark it, hr is finish politically in Lagos State. Let him go and try his luck in Ondo State where he comes from. After all, his father came from there. |

Ambode was too weak to help himself reason he never had anyone on his side Since he has his own personal Political appointees in his government who should have been100 percent Loyal to him but they couldn't because himself would have affected their own career with his weakness I could recall one of his commissioner and SA had to resign because of the conspiracy against him He should have identified his Loyalist within the party and elevate them to his advantage but he didn't so nobody is going to fight for him Thus, Ambode is not a Typical Nigerian Politician |

Stop giving excuses for cowardice. He should have caged MC Oluomo the way Kabaka was caged in Edo. Create several rifts in the Lagos state NURTW that MC Oluomo heads. Use his own goons to fight Oluomo and his thugs. He was a sitting governor for crying out loud. Tinubus power lies with his thugs. Mentions will be ignored. I don't respond to cowards. |

Oghene1st: I no gree with you. I agreed that Shuaibu was one of Obaseki liver but if Ambode had damned the "godpikin" the supporters would have come out. All he needed was to reach out to the Niger Delta governors and the few in the North. Lagosians will support him. Do you think Edo supported PDP?, No, it was Obaseki. I am forced to join those who said he was not man enough to deliver Lagos from crooks. Suspend NURTW like Makinde did, put new people that are hungry there. OH Ambode! Anyways. |

the truth is Ambode didn't have any structure in lagos before he was elected and even after being elected he didn't even try to build structure he was so dependent on is godfather that was why he couldn't do anything |

oluwaSavage: Ambode's hands were dirty already from his days as AG and it was only wise that he threw in the towel somehow. Remember the problems he had with fashola, bypassing the governor while answering to Jagaban. Ambode is not clean. |

You've made good points, but you're not entirely right. Your coach brings you to the field, but won't tell you how to run or kick a ball. Money talks in Nigeria politics. Ambode didn't use it to his advantage by buying some of the 'longerthroat' house members At the beginning, very few outsiders considered Obasekis victory when he decamped. Walking away from a godfather is like leaving the comfort of your home at a certain age to hustle in a foreign land. Chances are you'll make or fail. You just have to believe in yourself Not every Tinubu's loyalist is truly loyal. Many just don't have a choice. Ambode should've provided them with that and see. PDP has a good structure in Lagos, it needs one man to demystify Tinubu for others to thrive |
