This is the wrong section for this article.

CHICAGO — The Democratic National Committee voted Saturday to significantly curtail the power of superdelegates and make presidential caucuses more accessible, overcoming objections from a vocal minority of its membership.

The reform package, pushed by DNC Chairman Tom Perez and allies of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, among others, passed overwhelmingly by voice vote at the DNC’s summer meeting here — two years after the process started.

Perez and others hailed the outcome as momentous, saying the reforms will help welcome new people into the party by reassuring them that their vote will never be overruled by the party leaders who can vote for whomever they want for the presidential nomination.

But the simple truth is that they all must test their popularity. If there truly is an existent problem between Ambode and Tinubu, I do not think there should be any cause for much worry by Ambode. One day very soon a pharaoh does does not know Joseph will rise up and uproot 'tingod' Tinubu and teach him that power belongs to God. A direct primary will afford the governor more opportunity to self examine and look at ways to improve in his second tenure. My sincere hope is that he will not act the common way of governors on the second tenure who stop projects and amass personal wealth. I strongly believe that Ambode will defeat all opositions including the 'tingod'.

Maxymilliano:
� ... Your usual stuff.

I should worry about my place at Abraham Adesanya estate in Lekki or my place at Ota ?

Alawada I thought sense would have catched up with you by now, I doubt if you no Jack about happening in Apc in Lagos and Ogun State.

Anyway I enjoy!

FarahAideed:
For the usual mediocre Nigerian standards Ambode is has performed well when compared together Nigerian governors ... I remember how bad how all the the inner roads in IKOYI , VI and some parts of lekki were really bad under Fashola but Ambode came and fixed them in months , we remember how Fasholas meaningless roundabouts on lekki EPE made life hell despite Fashola claiming he spent 35 billion Naira plus lagosians paying toll yet he couldn't complete it till Ambode came and removed the roundabouts and put smart traffic lights ....We remember how rickety and local Lagos police patrol cars where till Ambode came and brought nice patrol cars with nice liveries that identified the city, we know how many fly overs Ambode built without making noise and at moderate cost ... the only place I fault Ambode is his handling of the Visionscape issue by not being firm on them as they made the city dirtier till date ... You have not still told me on what performance yardstick you are using to support Buhari for 2nd term sir

Maxymilliano:
Eko Ile and his usual destructive posts syndrome .

Was surprised you didn't label Ambode IPod as you are wont to do.

FYI, Ambode would be re-elected governor of Lagos State under APC ...

Makes no difference?
When only savage Yoruba muslims like tinubu and fshiola can do 2 terms while Ambode, a Christian is pushed out to make room for another fanatic-fulani-leaning-yoruba muslims?

Matters Arising On Ambode’s Pettiness Of Replacing Gani Fawehinmi’s Statue Built By Fashola At Ojota
Posted by Admin On April 22, 2018 0 Comment




One of the highpoints of the administration of former Lagos State Governor, Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola, (SAN) was the reclamation of abandoned public spaces inhabited by hoodlums and transforming them into recreation parks or landmark sites to honour living heroes or past giants who made Lagos proud.

Fashola honoured the late legal luminary, Chief Gani Fawehinmi,(SAN) and developed Gani Fawehinmi Park, Ojota popular known as Freedom Park and erected a statue of the Ondo-born Senior Advocate of the masses to immortalise the struggles of the fierce human rights fighter and the primus defender of the downtrodden.

The civil society community and human rights activists who were in the trenches to fight for the rights of the oppressed hailed Fashola for honouring Gani and for providing a spacious, strategic location where protesters can gather and ventilate their anger on the recklessness of the political class and other obnoxious public policies.

Gani Fawehinmi park made global headlines in January 2012 during the Occupy Nigeria petrol subsidy removal protest against the government of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

The Aluta spirit of Gani was invoked at Ojota as thousands of citizens brought the government on its kneels.

The incumbent governor Akinwunmi Ambode never left anyone in doubt that he is on a mission to demolish Fashola’s legacies immediately he assumed office.

The Gani Fawehinmi park ‘remodeling’ was one of the needless projects he embarked just to undo Fashola whose fame had gone global as a great performer.

Under the guise of curious remodeling, Ambode removed the statue of Gani built by Fashola and replaced it with his own just to score cheap political point.

The unveiling of Ambode’s version of Gani Fawehinmi’s statue is scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday April 22 to commemorate Gani’s 80th post humous birthday.

Ambode spent three years to build an unnecessary statue just to spite his predecessor.

I often queried the administrative acumen of the governor whenever i passed through Ojota and saw the removed Fashola’s version of Gani’s statue at the base of the platform which the new statue stands. Yet, we are told Ambode attended Harvard University.

What sense does it make to replace a statue of the same icon which is not damaged and which was less than five years!

Statues are built to last for decades.

It is sheer waste of scarce resources and misplacement of priorities.

Ambode’s politics of statues also got him into trouble when he decked a dandy sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo in a native Agbada with a laced safety booth to match. What an anathema!

The project was another vain and ego trip embarked by the governor.

On that same stretch of Obafemi Awolowo way, Ikeja, there is another statue of the sage apart from the one inside the Awolowo House close to Ikeja under bridge.

Worst still, Ambode has always kept a sealed lips over what the needless statues cost the tax payers.

He has repeatedly turned down Freedom of Information request to divulge the costs of the statues and other funfair ‘projects’ like Lagos at 50 celebrations and other carnivals that had arguable gulped billions.

If Ambode is bereft of ideas of how to immortalize icons, he should halt the shameless replication of statues all around town.

If Gani was alive, he would have rejected governor’s wasteful Greek project in solidarity with masses who are groaning under the inept leadership of Ambode.

A governor whose under his watch a city which had relatively conquered filth in the last decade slumped to become the dirtiest state in the country cannot be a friend of finicky Gani.

The public should therefore see through the bare-faced hypocrisy and vindictiveness of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and reject his greek gift to Gani.

Ambode had the opportunity to build on what Fashola did. Instead, he went on a witch hunt of “everything BRF” from suspected human agents to supposed BRF legacy projects. In the process, he turned simple solutions to complex problems. Ever coming, never arriving. Time for Change?

OAM4J:
True.

That reminds me of this incident, how he dealt with a colonel on the BRT lane.

Fashola is a very disciplined man, even he as a Governor was not using BRT lane, and he was not always with those ceremonial convoy.

I have said it many times on this forum that I didnt support the emergence of Fashola, I campaigned for Jimi Agbaje in 2007. But Fashola's performance and his intelligence while addressing key and sensitive issues during his 1st term in office won my heart and made him my best governor till date.

I am not for or against what is happening to Ambode. Even though he was not the preferred candidate for Fashola, after he won the party primary, Fashola followed his campaign train everywhere, only for him to get to office and started to rubbish Fashola. There was a time he even accused Fashola of deliberately delaying the concession of airport road and transfer of some of the old FG assets in Lagos to the state government, before Fashola came out to explain the true position of things.... Ambode forgot the Yoruba proverb that "the cane used to drive away the 1st wife, is only hidden under the bed, ready to be used to drive away the new wife".

Anyways, I wish Ambode luck.

Being married to a pastor or having a useless pastor as commissioner like Osinbanjo makes no difference.
Soon, you'll tell us Buhari has Christian house boys!

FarahAideed:
You and I know the all the party members that will attend the direct primaries all receive their nomination and instruction from tinubus sitting room in Bourdillon..

ashjay001:
If u're as discerning as u write, u would have realised, continuing with Ambode's present version, can make APC loose Lagos.

When Fash, was in this same predicament, the pple protested on d streets in solidarity with him!

Ambode has alienated, everyone!

modik:
Ikorodu road is a living "Legend"

modik:
Fashola we know, Ambo is trying but Lagos is dirty now!

Yorubaskullmine:
if you keep on peddling this falsehood i will be forced to leave my busy schedule and visit those places in order to distort your claims.
If there is one thing I admire about Ambo , it's his prudent management of resources something fashola lacks. Of recent lagos state has stopped the habit of borrowing excessively for white elephant projects.

Yorubaskullmine:
That is all you are good at. I am not surprised.

moufan:
hahahaha,this paid fashola agent is at it again. since ambode has exposed your master fashola as a fraud,he's been on ambode's case.

ambode has constructed more roads and bridges in three years than fashola did in eight years.

education,agriculture,healthcare,security,sports and entertainment in ambode's 3 years is much more better than fashola and tinubu 16yrs.

regardless of everything,ambode will win reelection.insha ALLAH

omoranmilowo:
. Don't be disappointed cos Ambode deserved second term. You should support good things. Daddy Adeboye is not campaigning for Ambode but asking why he's not deserving second term. Did Tinubu performed up to half of what Ambode did for three and half years comparing to his eight years? Abeggy

But the former governor insisted on direct primaries in the interest of fairness and justice for those who had obtained the APC forms for governorship primary in the party.

Although the telephone conversation, which had been converted into a text was silent on what Pastor Adeboye said, Tinubu was quoted to have maintained his posture that all contenders should go to the field and test their popularity before the people they want to govern.

The APC leader said he had been accused of imposition in the past and would not want to be seen as imposing any aspirant on the people in line with what democracy entails. Tinubu in the text message which was going viral on twitter told Pastor Adeboye that: “Sir, people have been accusing me of imposition.

They say I imposed candidates at will.
That’s why I said all aspirants including the governor to get to the field and test their popularity among the people in an open contest of direct primaries
