Ambode should take a deep breath. He has tried pleading with the emperor who seems implacable. The only option open to ambode is to be a man. Nowhere in Nigeria has a sitting governor been denied a second term run by his party. So the option open to ambode is to fight hard and fierce. Fight dirty very ugly if necessary. Ambode should appreciate the enormity of the powers of a governor. It is a glaring insult for the state's local government chairmen to owe sole allegiance to the emperor and openly denigrate the governor. Therefore ambode should do the following:

1. Ensure control over the judiciary especially that he trusts the chief judge otherwise change him. The chief judge is a key player in impeachment proceedings

2. Secure the support of key national party chiefs including buhari, el rufai, fashola, IG of police. Get close to chief of army staff. Then make effective use of the state commissioner of police to thwart any shenanigans by the house of assembly. In fact shut down house of assembly till further notice.

3. Fight the emperor with all might. Revoke his numerous C of Os, cancel alpha beta contract, burn down mysteriously TVC, RC, The Nation, expose all about alpha beta. Cancel contracts with hitech construction company and LCC. Remove Tinubu's daughter as head of the markets.

3. Refuse the direct primaries nonsense, insist on indirect primaries and forcefully take charge of apc organs in the state. Note that Tinubu and fashola were not subjected to direct primaries which are fraught with fraud since there is no fool proof register of APC members.

4. Sack all political appointees with dubious allegiance including sanwo olu and replace them with bold and brave loyalists ready to fight bloody grassroots battle.

5. Dissolve the local government chairmen and appoint loyal caretakers to take charge of all organs. Find and equip these caretakers adequately for battle.

6. Infliterate the house of assembly members through similar or bettet offers than the emperor makes

7. Align with other adversaries of the emperor in the South west such as akeredolu, ajumobi, amosun. Align against APC in osun state

8. Be prepared to cause APC to lose Lagos state rather than be disgraced.

9. Package g wagons for the obas in Lagos state and get many to your side.

10. Employ and deploy a deft and deadly media team to fully expose and embarrass the emperor constantly.

All these actions will create so much rumpus in the state APC that the national body will become so alarmed that they would send crisis management or reconciliation forces giving you the opportunity to extract concessions including security of your second term run. Your profile as the David beating goliath will be established eternally in the state. Then you would have saved the state from the mouth of the ogre.

lol.

he will be impeached if he tries half of what you are recommending.

raumdeuter:
This tantrum throwing just showed he lost control

He was goaded and he cracked under pressure.

He was the one to attack SanwoOlu first, A person in control doesn't crack

I think at this point Ambode is done

True.

This his response is dirty, too dirty. He should have left the dirty fight for his aids.

I wanted him to stand up as a man and defend himself, but with real issues affecting Lagos State, his track record of performance, show us that he has better understanding of Lagos problems and solutions and convince the people why he is still the best for the job....not with personal attack.

If only he is half as smart as Fashola... I am not impressed at all.
