Yes ooh, we are ready but not her.

Humm. Naija politics.

you won't get my vote Sen Remi Tinubu. let others rule and take Lagos to the next level

seun0225:
but you can't say if they will win it back in 2019

I am 100% certain that they will win 2019. Beyond that, I do not know.

Amakavula:
Yes ooh, we are ready but not her.

Why?
Isn't she qualified to contest?

DedeNkem:
Are Nigerian political offices only meant for friends and family members of the people who previous held them?

The level of corruption in this dying country is astronomical!

Shut up and face your state.

opribo:
As far as APC Lagos state is concerned. Asiwaju determines who will govern the state.

Invariably, Tinubu has Lagos in his pockets. What a people, what an electorate, what a democracy.

Shut up, face your state and let Lagosians face theirs.

Oblongata:
Remi tinubu = bola tinubu

She will come in 23

Ambode will stay in 2019

For posterity sake

And if tinubu dies before 2023, it's bye bye to his dynasty. She bites the dust.

When rumours were rife in 2014 that Senator Remi Tinubu,wife of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, former governor of Lagos state and national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was plotting to succeed then governor Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) in 2015, the senator, who is currently representing Lagos Central senatorial district quickly dispelled the rumour thereby putting an end to the tension that was already building up in the party then.

Speaking at a press briefing, Oluremi who denied ever nursing an ambition to govern the state said governing Lagos State was not for the “tender-hearted”.

She said, “Truly, it is never my ambition to run for the governor of Lagos State. My husband did it for eight years and I was not an outsider to it. It is not a job for the tender hearted. It is a lot of work to govern Lagos. I don’t think I have the strength to govern the present state of Lagos.

“There is still a lot of work to be done for Lagos; it’s not a child’s play. I don’t have such ambition. Maybe, I can be the Vice-President, not the governor.”

Asiwaju Tinubu on his part threw his weight behind Akinwunmi Ambode, a former Accountant – General who retired after 27 years in the state’s civil service. Ambode won the APC primary to clinch the party’s ticket. He then won the governorship election defeating Jimi Agbaje, the flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party.

With the 2019 election around the corner, proponents of ‘Remi Tinubu for Lagos State Governor’ are back again. In recent times, posters of the senator are already circulating like wild fire on social media while many of her supporters are claiming that her governorship aspiration is already a done deal.

However, contrary to 2014 when the senator publicly distanced herself from the alleged governorship bid, this time she has maintained a dignified silence which has further emboldened her supporters and is already causing a disquiet within the party.

Many political leaders and followers in Lagos State, especially leaders of the APC in Lagos Central Senatorial District, the zone Senator Oluremi represents in the Senate, are aware of her decision not to seek re-election into the senate after the expiration of her tenure in 2019.

It’s not a hidden fact that Senator Remi Tinubu has informed many of the leaders that she is not seeking a re-election for third term in the Senate.

While many believe the senator has a constitutional right to aspire for the highest political office in Lagos, they are however worried given the timing owing to the performance of Governor Ambode and a likelihood that he may he want to seek another term in office.

So far, Ambode’s sterling performance especially in the areas of infrastructural developments and security has earned him accolades both within and outside and outside the state. Though he has not publicly come out to say he will seek reelection, many APC supporters including state and federal lawmakers in separate interviews said his second term is non- negotiable.

While Senator Oluremi cannot be reached for comments, one of her aides who claimed to be her Constituency Manager said he is not aware of her governorship ambition at the moment.

“Honestly, I am just hearing it from you that she is nursing a governorship ambition. I am not aware of that at the moment” he said.

As expected, many of the APC supporters INDEPENDENT sought audience with refused to comment on the issue since according to them “the matter is still shrouded in secrecy”.

However, speaking with our correspondent, a member of the party, Lateef Balogun said while he is aware of the posters of Senator Oluremi Tinubu online, he will however wait for her to make official pronouncement on the issue before reacting.

He said “ I have seen the posters online but I think we should wait for the senator to speak on whether she is contesting as governor or not before arriving at judgments. But if indeed she is contesting in 2019, I think the timing is wrong and I don’t think even her husband (Asiwaju) will support her”.

“I must however add that there is no smoke without fire. Some people are already speculating that maybe Governor Ambode had a one-term agreement with Asiwaju. You know that we are just foot soldiers so we may not be aware of high-powered agreements and negotiations that go on in corridors of power. But feelers I am getting, Governor Ambode will seek reelection and I will support his bid” he said.

Another APC chieftain who spoke on condition of anonymity said “What is wrong in Senator Oluremi wanting to become governor in 2019? I am a member of the Mandate group and I will align myself with Asiwaju’s position. I don’t know Ambode in 2014 when Asiwaju brought him as his candidate and we worked for his victory. If now he says it is his wife, so be it”.

Akin Dada, a public affairs analyst however said the Tinubus should take into consideration the mood of Lagosians before embarking on the venture.

“I agree with those who said she has constitutional right to vie for any position but the questions we should ask is, ‘Are the electorates in Lagos ready for a female governor? ‘If yes, is it Oluremi Tinubu? ‘Given her performance in the Senate in the last six years which to me is below par, does she possess the needed requisite to administer a multifarious state like Lagos?”

In an interview with INDEPENDENT, Hon. Rotimi Agunsoye, representing Kosofe Federal Constituency said he is confident that Governor Ambode will be reelected for another term.

“I am confident that apart from securing his second term, people of virtues will tell us at the national assembly that ‘please, include it in the constitution that people like Governor Akinwunmi Ambode can come for third term’.

Keep quiet if you have nothing intelligent to say, you fcking m*oron!!
You
You're the type that votes for who gives you bag of rice! Id*iot!!

Senate representatives; the foremost problem in communicating with the masses hn Nigeria. All of them for the past 19 have not done anything influential to warrant international recognition. If they do, its to go for a higher post like Dino is currently doing. All perform below par like Madam Remi, and no one talks. Its high time emphasis be given to this senatorial thing, with pressure to perform. Its too ceremonial for my liking, esp in the North.

ivolt:

Is she qualified to represent again?

Name your state if you are so proud of it.
It is probably an unproductive declining state with a useless governor but your
stupidity won't let you see that.
Don't bring your backward "chop make I chop" mentality to Lagos.
Lagos will choose whichever candidate it wants whoever it may be, you can jump
into the lagoon for all I care.

If you are not comfortable with Remi as a governor, go and jump into the Lagoon.

State and Countries with "Chop make I chop" mentality never develops, they remain backward and
retrogressive.
Lagos need a competent hand such as Remi.

You reason like an homo Erectus who wants everything to be shared and go round
while inadvertently arresting development and promoting stagnation in the process.
Successful government is run by competent people and not by "it is our turn to rule".
Remi is more competent to run lagos state than anyone in your lineage.

Who were you id*iot arguing with, about best State? Did I exonerate any State from corruption? How could you be this st*upid?

The same corruption that's going on in Lagos happens everywhere in the country. Even m*oronic voters like you who sell their future to corrupt politicians over a bag of rice, are also very corrupt!

There's no politician in Nigeria that's not corrupt! From the presidency to last State alphabetically, are all corrupt. The private sector is also corrupt!

So continue defending Tinubu family blindly with your rice, while they loot your money and ship it abroad, you I'd*iot!!

Some Nigerians are just mentally challenged!

You are the greatest fool on earth. A senseless coward who couldn't face his state and
is far from reality.
It is because of imbeciles like you that the country has not moved forward.
I will advise you demand for your school fees refund because it is a waste as
you are as dumb as a village idiot.

Let me knock sense into your head for the last time, economic development is
more important than your "come make I chop jungle mentality". "Corruption"
talk is for fish brains and fools who thinks development is a mystery.

I am still wondering how a neanderthal like you survived till the 21st century.

remi tinubu can NEVER EVER become the governor of lagos state. she can NEVER become even deputy governor. I dare APC to field her as a governorship candidate and see the humiliation she and her husband will face even within their evil APC party. what nonsense. This Tinubu man doesn't know that a lot of people are timing him. He will soon be embarrassed beyond believe.
