If Ambode decides to defect to APC, it would be catastrophic for APC. If he ever decides to do that, he should try to get many of the state legislatures to turn also.

globemoney:
For the first time ever, I'm supporting Tinubu. Ambode from Akure is a tribalist that should never have become Lagos governor in the first place. He should be kicked out. Lagos for Lagosians

aolawale025:
I think tinubu's sun is about to set. Ambode may be the catalyst to liberate Lagos from him

tinubu has no choice but to accept ambode's apology, Buhari and APC can't afford to gamble with Lagos state, especially when Kwankwaso is threatening them in kano. as it stands tinubu has nothing to lose, he might as well scatter every structure, since he knows buhari may still sideline and betray him again

TonyeBarcanista:
It is very unfortunate for Ambode that he can't return to Alausa without Tinubu's blessing.

Those who really understand politics of Lagos know that the Mandate Group is the engine of APC and they control the whole structure of politics in APC and in Lagos state. Fashola learnt the hard way when he anointed Hamzat with his Justice Group to challenge Mandate backed Ambode in 2014 primary despite being two term incumbent.

Right now all Ambode need to do is to placate Tinubu for his own political survival. He shouldn't even consider defecting from APC at this time as that would be politically suicidal as NO party in Lagos has the structure and resources to upstage Tinubu in Lagos- at least for now and he even risk being impeached should he defect.

Though I don't know the issues between Ambo and Tinubu but I think it will be resolved! "las las dem go share money and renegotiate terms of agreement", so no be wetin person go kill himself inside. But Ambo should resist "gra-gra" because even Buhari will not be able to save him if it comes to political duel.

N/B My comment is based on the reality of Lagos politics not out of bias to any of the players.

When we said bye bye to dictatorship and embraced democracy the other day, I didn't know that dictatorship will continue even in democracy.

Tinubu has single handedly been the one determining the governor of Lagos and the senators representing the state since he left office. The people of Lagos had no say. Who knew Ambode before he was ordained as governor? Tinubu will also produce the next governor.

I thought in democracy, the real power belong to the people, but no. Real powers in Nigeria belong to a few individual. They determine governors and even president.

The gullible are made to believe their PVCs are important and powerful. Is it so? I don't think so. These few individuals still continue to control who gets into public office and who does not. Yet, we are in democracy

delkuf:
tinubu is a big mofon. he thinks he can gamble with anything. ambode will be a sour in his throat for the next four years

Racoon:
The present Ambode debacle will become Tinubu's albatross.The game is still getting interesting.

jayson87:
Operation Tinubu's empire self destruct in progress.

As soon as ambode looses the primaries, the following takes effect.

1. Cancallation of contract of Alpha Beta consulting and subsequent arrest of her directors

The National Chairman of the party , Chief Ralph Nwosu , said the people did not chase away the military to enthrone emperors who would corner the nation ’ s commonwealth .

Nwosu , who said he was upset by what was transpiring in the state , urged the people to rise up and reject the continued rule of the APC in the state .

Also , the Lagos State Chairman of the ADC , Chief Babatunde Daramola , urged the people to reject an arrangement where “ one individual is collecting N 4 bn of your money every month. ”

He said the ADC had come to give the people back their right such that anyone could become anything in Lagos State without needing to “visit Bourdillon to go and see the lion or go to Lugard , to see an elephant . ”

Is Tinubu the governor of Lagos State?

Is Tinubu the reason why Lagos roads are bad?

Is Tinubu the reason why Ambode's N1 trillion budget cannot keep Lagos clean and also why Lagos is all of a sudden full of garbage?

Is Tinubu the reason why all his predecessor's projects are abandoned?

Is Tinubu the reason why Lagos metro is not completed,?

Is Tinubu the reason why 4th mainland bridge is still a dream?

TonyeBarcanista:
It will be suicide for Ambo to defect from APC...

And, 98% legislators/Chairmen will not follow him. He may even be impeached sef and the next Tinubu nominee will still win.

Lagos politics is kind of unique, Tinubu has lots of political capital there. There are some of his loyalists that fight his cause without even his own knowledge. The truth is that he has a relatively fair reward system that the political class in the party and state have come to align with. Do also note that Tinubu has loyalists even in PDP (I mean MAJOR forces not mushroom party members).

Furthermore, his Mandate Group structure is more formidable than APC as a party itself, suffice to say, APC in Lagos is 95% Mandate Group.

Finally, politics is about structure not just popularity contest. If you don't have formidable structure in politics you will LOSE woefully even if you think people love you

RevenGeMission:
Now some people especially from Potor land in their Biafraudenese villages will cry , they'll get angry , they'll fume


Now watch what they will say : Ambode has sold more parts of lagos to Tinubu

or

Ambode finally increased Tinubu's commission on lagos's income


Yeah , that's how bitter they can be
