How did we get to the Politics of Godfatherism where a man or group of men decides who rule or who doesn't rule in the country.

This type of politics not only depict the level of political consciousness of Nigerians it also depict that Nigerians are not ready to free themselves from claws of the political class.

Tinubu under no circumstances has no audacity to decide who becomes the Governor or who doesn't become the Governor of Lagos State.

This same Tinubu enforced his candidate (Buhari) on a nation of 196mil people in the end it doomed us rather than redeem us.

Its disheartening we (Nigerians) have been too docile to the point that this unscrupulous men and women of the political class have possessed so much power to determine what becomes of Nigeria and yet we are sitting down, whining and dinning while this men and women are doing everything possible to get the nation in their palms.

Omo Naija Ronu e!

The problem is not about tinubu
We have a party structure in Nigeria where the flag bearer of any party is determined by money bags and a few elites
That's why they put nomination forms at a high price
And u will also need a deep pocket to lobby the delegates to vote for u in the primaries
This structure is here to stay
And after they are done with the primaries
We are told who to vote for

Ambode has been so slow in approaching Lagos infrastructure projects.We have more of bad roads now and he has failed to speedily complete d ongoing projects.Lagos/Badagry expressway is a no go area,Lagos/Abeokuta slow development.Yet he develop Epe his hometown.We don’t have LAWMA again he brought in vision scape Lagos is even dirtier.Who will support him,Fashola did exceptionally job so the elders does not have choice than to support him.People should stop blaming tinibu Ambode should have himself to be blame

Onlinealaba:
Effect of godfatherism in politics, Ambode should just submit to their choice cos going against jagaban is a lost bid in securing votes that's if he eventually emarges as the APC candidate for 2019 election.

My questions goes this way, why is he afraid of direct primary. Afterall he boasted around about his good work, then let is work speak for him, he shouldn't be panic

and yeroba Muslims wins again

when i say that yeroba Muslim are 70% of yerobas i mean it

You're sick. In need of urgent medical attention.

Otedola is dancing right now.

If he plays his cards right, he will relegate that kleptomaniac to the dustbins of history.

There will no power of incumbency to affect his chances, and he is far more popular than sawa-oli or whatever he is called.

But na wa for Yoruba people o.

I don't think you understand the Yorubas. Otedola has no electoral value. Lagos is strategic to the Yorubas and Tinubu represents Yoruba interest in Lagos. We see pdp as an enemy the day they started fielding igbo people as lawmakers.

I disagreed with you bros, unlike most leaders in these Country's, he led his State through the difficult years of economic recovery nd succeeded in restoring its national pride. Jagaban did nothing wrong, His only fighting for the betterment of Lagos State. Tinubu is able to think beyond petty sentiments.

Supremor:
I think it's high time Tinubu's grip on Lagos politics be reduced, his overbearing attitude is getting irritating.

Boss Tinubu envisioned his role as leader to be that of a "watchdog" for the masses. So he did nothing wrong

If that is the only choice left for him, let him Just do it, all power belongs to God.

Wonders shall never end, thesame Ambode that is being touted as the best governor in the country online and especially by the the Tigers on this platform has suddenly become the proverbial rejected stone even by persons that sang his praises before this whole debacle began.

This episode speaks volume on the treachery inherent in certain humanoids, I give up on a particular set of Nigerians....if you know you know.

You should understand how Yorubas think. It takes thousands of action before we can trust an elder. Once trusted, we will trust his judgment any day. I'm conversant with dictates of Tinubu in Osun where I came from. We just love the man whether you like it or not

Why people call on tinubu is bc he sees himself as d 'god' of Lagos state why shld it be so?

Shout it from the roof top
Play the religion card
Tell them is because of yr religion
Christians will vote you and moderate Muslims that.s if there is any will also vote you

akdjr:
I can bet with anyone that Ambode will continue as Governor till 2023 while sanwo will pick the ticket thereafter. Quote me anywhere I know what I am saying.

What are you saying

Thank you jare my brother. They think Tinubu is after money. Tinubu took a man from a village of less than 5k dwellers in Oyo and made him a commissioner because the guy is very brilliant. He worked in Tinubu's firm as accountant.

tinubu's greed is about to FAVOR THE OPPOSITION!


........BRING IT ON!....e go clear for your eyes.

Nigeria democracy is in trouble... How can one person decide the fate of a state with more than 15million people? We are very far from getting things right in this country

This is not about one person. People are not happy because Lagos is in a big mess. Their personal/party interests may be involved but in all, Ambo could have performed better if he chose to abide with the continuity mantra which was the basis of his election.

tinubu showing is political diplomacy if ambode steps down and support sawon-olu,then tinubu keeps is house intact...but who knows anything can happen in politics.

niceprof:
Why do they want to deny this man his right?,
If Jide is a moslem,Ambo will be better off playing the religious card as other Moslem Governors did complete 8 years why denying a Christian Governor same privilege.

Kai, some people no get sense o! You dey among.

Ambode did too many wrong in Lagos.

..Scrap the Eyo festival
..Scrap fanty canival
..scrap Lagos mega party.
All these activities are what Fashola used to bind Lagos mainland, island and Interland together.
also
scrap psp
scrap road side mgt
increase land use charge
destroy the legacies he met on ground etc.
so y will any chairman or counselor support him?

Yorubaskullmine:
Fixed.

na him god alone o... Not yorubas god

uniqueboi:
Ambode really offended people. See how they are squeezing his balls. You are governor and you are good with the President. Some elements in the Presidency wants to fvck up that drug baron why not locate them and give the godfathers in your state heat. Tumble all of them starting from that big thief.

Kai, see big head tiny brain comment.

You mean the idiot scrapped Eyo Festival! Was he MAD?

Fashola will ever be the best governor of lagos state. Since Fashola left, free education left Lagos schools, i felt bad when text books are no longer given to sec sch student again, see how lagos is now dirty, during Fasola's time, carnals are always packed during raining season but now, if i start to talk ehn.he should go abeg

This why you must have a PVC.

Lagosians will decide who will be the next Governor or the state.

chriskosherbal:
Ambode is loved by Lagosians and I think if the ticket is not given to him and he finally decamp or even if he refused to decamp will have an adverse effect on the presidential election for APC and they know this ..

Be that as it may, Tinubu thinks he will still have a stronghold and say in Lagos even if he decides to dish ambode. ..am sorry but he is heading for crash .

The electorate are wiser now ...nobody wants to be pushed anymore with the present state of the Nigerian economy been championed by APC.

Say NO to Godfatherism in politics .

APC WILL RIG ALL LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN LAGOS... EVEN AMBO KNOWS THAT THATS WHY HE IS CALLING ON FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO CONDUCT THE PRIMARIES.

nony43:
Please who is Tinubu self? That they are afraid to fight him

just like who are IBB and OBJ?

franchasng:
Yoruba people don't have that gut, that's why they align with Hausa-Fulani always out of fear cos they can't fight at all.

They are only good in cunning, deceitful politics whereby they sell out an ally to win favor from whoever is the winning party.

They can hardly stand on their own ground and make their own single decision. They are the reason Southern Nigeria is being used and ruled by Hausa-Fulani political oligarchs, sadly

On a normal situation, this is God trying to use Ambode to free Lagos from the hands of evil Jagaban and his evil Mandate Group but is Ambode bold enough to fulfill this mandate from above NO!

All he needs to do is decamp from APC, join alliance with opposition party and with the support of aggrieved Tinubu men and former men like Raji Fashola, and others at the presidency, he will take Tinubu and his Mandate Group to to cleaners and win Lagos and then give Tinubu ultimatum to return all the looted Lagos lands, properties, agencies, etc in his hand and start mass recovering of the versed Lagos lands, properties, etc Tinubu stole and watch Lagosians support him.


Yorubas want a helper to help them liberate them from Tinubu but they don't have the gut to fight Tinubu so they out of fear become eternally loyal to Tinubu out of fear just as they are to Hausa-Fulani out of fear, ah my Yoruba friends sha

Ambode is in a good position right now to bring down that criminal.

It is left for Lagos people to decide whoever governs them.
