POLITICS Amidst Rumours Of Ministerial Nomination, Ambode Set To Meet TinubuPublished 8 hours ago on 14 July 2023By George Oshogwe Ogbolu
Kindly share this story:


Former Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode will on Friday meet with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Naija News recalls that both men, former Lagos State Governors, met at the state reception organized for Tinubu by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on June 29.

Tinubu publicly acknowledged Ambode’s presence, saying,“ I’m glad to see Ambode. Thank you Akin!” during the meeting.

According to Western Post, the meeting at the Presidential Villa is believed to be the final reconciliation between both men after they reportedly fell out over Ambode’s inability to get a second-term ticket in 2019.

It was gathered that Tinubu is reportedly considering Ambode for an appointment in his government, with the Friday meeting believed to be an avenue to conclude discussions on that.

Ambode who was then Lagos governor lost the ticket of the All Progressives Congress to Sanwo-Olu in a direct primary election conducted across the state.

While Tinubu publicly insisted he had nothing against Ambode as the decision to remove him was that of the party members, many believed that the then governor’s failure to get the ticket of the APC was as a result of his falling out with his erstwhile mentor and political godfather.

Recall that Ambode’s reconciliation with Tinubu and return to mainstream politics was initiated by Governor Sanwo-Olu during a visit to the home of his predecessor

Ambode na Governor wey sabi work

And one region is busy sitting at home for 21 days within a month

Mr president should find a slot for him, he's kind of cool and he was a good governor

Great, the main person that spearheaded the Ambode Otege is that ungrateful Rauf.

Ambode on his own did not play nice politics, politics is local, and you must always remember that you can not have a smooth rule if you are not at peace with your stakeholders, Ambode through his wokeism and digitalization declared war on the majority of political elders, he fell out with them.
As a smart politician, Tinubu needs to sacrifice one man to have a united house, vision 2023 was all he has in his head, is better you get a yellow card or even red than watch your opponent win.

I commend Ambode for remaining loyal and quiet despite all the provocations, he is not an ingrate like Rauf and Lai, who betrayed their boss for a pot of porridge, PYO should be listed among them but I still respect him.

One thing I love about Tinubu is he talks less, he only believes in action, and he only wants to get positive results not minding what should be traded for it. He is a very smart politician. The dude is just a practical capitalist.

The first time I feared Tinubu was on the Otoge politics against Saraki in Kwara, another is the outburst in Ogun.

Ambode will definitely be compensated for how he was thrown out of Marina House with ignominy in 2019

Akin is a great guy and will perform very well if put in charge of sensitive ministry like Work or Power

His downfall was because he doesn't know how to play party politics but he performed very well.
I'm happy that they've reconciled.
