Nonsense, he has psychological problem and you appointed him to be DG of a government agency? He has been arrested in the US before and when you were going to appoint him that didn't matter. Oga Ambode your propaganda is not adding up. Go and recook your story.

Ambode did not appoint him. Sanwo-Olu was appointed by Tinubu and he continued to work for Fashola and the present Governor. That should tell you something!

jaykay68:
listen to yourself, whether you brainwashed tinubu goats likes it on not, Ambode will do second term, just because Ambode refused that the treasury of lagos state be continually looted, all of you will be disgraced tomorrow, by the grace of Almighty God.

AMEN!

OmoEpe:
All hail Joseph the dreamer reporting live from umahia

And if you are a Christian, you would have known that Joseph's dream actually came to pass!

insperyadyou:
Honestly, this Ambode is not strong-willed. To deal with Tinubu, you must act like Fashola the former governor. When Fashola told Tinubu that "with or without him" he was going to win the second term, Tinubu knew Fashola was a no-nonsense man. To avoid humiliation later, Tinubu went ahead to endorse him publicly. As if that was not enough, Tinubu never wanted Fashola to be Minister but Fashola still became. Fashola was very dogged and believed this Lagos is not only for Tinubu. But Ambode is too humble and Loyal. They know his "Achilles heel". They are saying what can he do, Mr weakling. For crying out Loud, Ambode, you are still the number one in Lagos, an incumbent at that. Summon up courage and tell Tinubu even if it means by action that "with or without you, I am not stepping down". All the security and mercenaries are still at your disposal. Many people from all the ethnic tribes resident in Lagos still like you. At worst, you move to another party unless they can convince the whole Lagosians what crimes against humanity you have committed.

They first of all threatened him with Direct primaries, after begging severally, the Governor summoned courage and said he is ready to go along with their primaries. The next thing we are hearing is that the Party wants him to step down or face impeachment. Why!

Hotfreeze:
Let Ambode contest under any party, he'll be beaten.

Even if he contests under APC in Lagos, he'll be beaten.

If that is the case, why is the Lagos APC asking him to step down? The Governor said he is ready for the Primaries. Let him contest and allow the whole world to see whether or not he would be beaten!

AFONJACOW:
one man ruling entire Yoruba land with iron fist despite their Sophistication .... Afonja are weaklings

Which Yoruba land are you talking about? Does Tinubu have any power in Ondo state? What is his power in Ogun state where you have Obasanjo and Amosun?

Did Tinubu has any say or influence in Oyo state when Baba Adedibu was alive? And even now, he does not call the shots there. For your information, it was the entire APC party structure (especially Abuja) that campaigned for Fayemi and made sure he won the Ekiti elections.

Tinubu's kingdom is only Lagos and even that will soon come to an end!

FarahAideed:
You and I know he didn't do anything wrong , the only mistake he made was to be to loyal to Tinubu so much for he forgot about his own self .... This clearly shows that Tinubu is still firmly in control and all his lieutenants including Osinbajo will only do as he says ... Stop trying to blame Igbo people for Ambodes downfall They have nothing to do with ..Just 5 weeks Ago Ambode was still the pride of Yoruba land

Ambode is still the PRIDE of Yoruba land! Whenever it is the turn of the South West to produce the President of Nigeria, Ambode's name will surely come up. Mark my words!

sircrabo:
I know you love your Tinubu but be fair to the man (Ambo).

How was Ojodu berger before and how is it now?

How was Abule egba before and how is it now?

What about the airport bus terminal?

And the new brt bus terminal being built at Ikeja?

Plus the ones around you



We know he lagged behind in the issue of waste disposal but he still scored above average in total

You did not mention the Aboru bridge that was constructed within 11 months. Aboru that was a no go area because it was lacking in all infrastructural development suddenly became attractive after the bridge was built and property values in the area skyrocketed beyond imagination!

Neyoor:
From a very reliable source, I can authoritatively tell you that the OYO state APC Governorship ticket is for Adebayo Alao Akala.


Meanwhile, Adelabu is so much likely to be considered as his deputy

The Almighty God will never allow that to happen!

Brainbox2020:
it is true sir... I'm a staff.

If it is true, then we are waiting as usual. We have gone through enumeration several times in Ajao Estate, Oshodi in the last 3 years and the Ikeja Disco keep saying they will soon come and install prepaid meters but up to now nothing has happened!

Holuwarsweun:
Even though i am a muslim i believe this MURIC organization was created to cause Religion conflict

GBAM! And they won't rest until they cause a religious war in Nigeria!

GoTV:
Despite the fact that I'm a strong born again Christian, i think Muric is right on this one. We Christians have mapped out ways to marginalize our Muslim counterparts and it's a very dangerous template for the unity of the country. I sympathize with every muslim who has been a victim of persecution from the policies of we Christians. I'm one of the few honest Christians who will never shy away from the truth. Muslim right is been stepped upon by we Christians and sometimes i wonder the conspiracy going on in the minds of we so called Christians. If i come to this world again, i won't hesitate to join Islam.

Why are you waiting till you come back to this world? Why can't you join right now? My friend, you are not a Christian!

BabaAduras:
If South West murdered Democracy on the altar of tribalism, the question is when? Was it in 2011 when the whole south-west voted for GEJ who is from South South or in 2015 when South West voted for PMB who is from the North? Was it in 2003 when South West voted against OBJ who is from South West?

South West do not vote on tribalism like East, South South or the North. We are the most educated of all Nigerian geographical regions and we vote base on what Contestants present on Polity and Issues.

I lived in Bonny-Island in the past. I was not allowed to vote in Finima during the 2015 elections because I am from South West. What do you call that? Upholding Democracy?

Think before you post on Social Media.

Beside, what is the stand of tribalism in a state election? A Yoruba man is contesting against another Yoruba man, so what are you saying?

A very good post from BabaAdura!

AZeD1:
Lol

Any party that fields Ambode would loose woefully, even the APC.

That is a Lie. Governance is about pleasing the majority of the governed and not kowtowing to party members. The ordinary Lagosian is happy and proud of Ambode and will vote for him!

Throwback:
Even me being a rabid anti-PDP, will not vote for Jide Sanwo-Olu, so that this arrogant cabal called Mandate Group can flex their muscles while chilling on the reserve bench of opposition party in Lagos, reminiscing on how they scuttled what was theirs for the taking.

When a people are too full of themselves to even reconsider their strategy so as to ensure their own self preservation, is it me that will now help them preserve what is not their birthright?

It is certain that Ambode will lose a direct primary or an indirect primary without Tinubu's support who imposed him on the party for his 1st term. However, it is time that APC realise that the only good thing they have going in Nigeria is Ambode, regardless of his failures or disregard for party sycophants. APC must be foolish to think what they have working for them is the name of their party.


The warning to APC is simple and clear.

Sacrifice Ambode, sacrifice Lagos. Teach Ambode a lesson for his disrespect, expect the Lagos electorate to also teach you a lesson for your disregard.

You are quite right! Ambode for Lagos!

Hotfreeze:
2011, Tinubu didn't want Fashola back as Governor, party members were in favour of Fashola continuing as Governor and Aregbesola took Fashola to meet Tinubu in Mecca to appeal to him.

2018, Ambode has offended Fashola, Aregbesola, Tinubu, Mandate group, Justice group, Party members, Civil servants and the electorate.

Out of all the SW APC Governors, not a single person is begging for Ambode.

Governor Ajimobi of Oyo State has begged Tinubu severally on the matter. Many other Governors outside the South West had also intervened. The only people that have not prostrated for Tinubu over this matter are the President and the Vice President. Tinubu should continue playing God!

tesppidd:
I've got a very strong feeling this issue will be resolved before the primaries on Saturday.

My question is that,

Does it mean that the 57 local government chairmen control all the delegates for the primaries?

YES!

bedspread:
Great Advice to Chief Tinubu... Only Men without Fear or Favor will say This to Tinubu

It is because both of them have come a long way. Dele knows Tinubu so well. What remains now is for us to see how the Jagaban will disregard all entreaties which include Prostrations of many highly placed Nigerians to pacify him. (Aseju baba Asete)

gbeseun:
Tell your ambode to go and stand for.direct primary
Sanwo Olu will not return his already purchased form so he should go and face him

My dear, N22,000,000 is chicken change to Tinubu!

gbeseun:
And that's why tinubu said ambode should go and test his popularity during DIRECT PRIMARY of the party.
Tuning has forgiven ambode long ago,don't let demonise this man,remember he bring ambode from obscurity to limelight.ambode forgot that there are party leaders that will vote for him before he behaves like mad man without control now you are writing letter,did dele ever caution ambode initially before yam pepper scatter?
Anbode should go for primary direct ,if he did well he will win and am sure tinubu will campaign for him.

The people that will vote in the Primaries are Party members. Is every Lagosian a party member? Is it not the same party members that are rejecting the Governor's second term bid! What you are saying is that the Governor should go and face the very people that have withdrawn their support for him.

As Dele Momodu rightly said, Tinubu controls the Party members and if he tells them to shield their swords, they will instantly obey. That is the simple truth!

chrissbidi:
I think I agreed with him on this one.

Me too!

GSA01:
Exactly as predicted, some unscrupulous elements in lagos and Nigeria, are trying so hard to ensure that Ambode and Tinubu Issue remains unsolvable so they can cash in on the issue, If bot for such reason why will such report even be at the front page. such unverified news should be inside a thrash..

You are quite right! We should expect more of this nonsense post!

JAMESOJAY:
You see how yourbas are cowards?how will one man control the hole south west?

This is a very big shame on the Yourbas

Which South West are you talking about? Is Tinubu controlling Ogun and Ondo states? What was his influence in Oyo state when Baba Adedibu was alive? Right now in Oyo state, he really can't call the shots. His hold on Osun state will reduce drastically when Governor Aregbesola leaves. The only state he has full control over is Lagos!

Abbey2sam:
.
Exactly my thought

My dear, it has gone beyond that!

sirp2007:
u guys better stand up otherwise u will knee till feb 2019 OBJ will NEVER forgive.

I'm laughing!

ybalogs post:

By doing what please? He will only be allowed to come back if he decides to be a puppet. He should just bow out on a high once without compromising. Leadership isn't by force after all.




Dont ever run away from the fight of your life: fight with all the power God has deposited in you. One thing is certain, either you win or lose. Ambode shld put up a good fight.

There's no way he can fight back when the primaries is Direct and everyone knows that Tinubu and his Mandate group will control the primaries. Once Ambode loses the primaries, that is the end of the road for him!

BigbamoAYO:
Thanks to Abdulaziz,premium times journalist the guy deserve accolade,

The people that obtained the forged document for her, were the same people that told the journalist to publish it. The woman offended some people by not allowing them easy access to money like before. She closed all the gaps and they ganged up to teach her a lesson. Nigeria is the ultimate loser in this game, period!

rottennaija:
I really liked this woman, she was great at her work

Nigerian Politicians don't like people that are great at their jobs especially jobs that has to do with money. Mrs Adeosun blocked all the loopholes for looting and and made accountability the key. A person like that will surely be hunted till she falls!

CilicMarin:
Okay! It is getting clearer now. So he is going to lose if he stands for the primaries, owing to lack of influence on the party members?

YES!

modath:
This is where he has a problem, he doesn't have a support group, he has alienated them all... Naija politics is one of patronage & it makes sense to never lose grassrooot support...

Babatunde Fashola was vehemently opposed to his emergence but same foot soldiers were the ones that got him into office.

Taking the PSP thing to Visionscape makes zero sense, Lagos is dirty & he lost goodwill, wonder what came over him...

I however believe they will sort themselves out soon...

Eko o ni baje, o baje ti.

We have not seen the PSP waste collectors in our street for the past 2 months. The street is now an embarrassment to the residents. I really wonder why Ambode decided to mess up such an efficient workforce. They were collecting our waste once a week without fail before the Governor messed things up. For how long are we going to wait before things are normalised!

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

Exactly!

This post be coming up every year. Stale

It certainly doesn't occur to you that some people might be seeing this post for the very first time. Information is never stale.
