Lagos Governor Akinwunmi Ambode reportedly broke down in tears and he's been in low spirits since the day he picked up the APC governorship nomination form, a source at the Lagos State Government House in Alausa disclosed to Pulse.

Mr. Babajide Sanwoolu has emerged the handpicked candidate of APC kingmakers in Lagos, and he's been anointed the preferred candidate to unseat Ambode during a primary election exercise slated for September 29, 2018.

Ambode was very sure of a second term in office before a dizzying spate of events in September made him sink into his office chair in agony, on occasion.

Two former Commissioners in Lagos, Obafemi Hamzat and Sanwoolu, picked up their respective nomination forms on the day Ambode was acquiring his, throwing the race for Lagos government house open.

Ambode in a battle for his life

The APC in Lagos will go with the direct primary system as opposed to the indirect primary system.

In a direct primary, all members of the party are allowed to choose flagbearers ahead of general election. In an indirect primary, only select party delegates are allowed to vote.

If Ambode had been in the good books of godfather Bola Tinubu or other power brokers in the APC, an indirect primary would have been settled for and he would have been handed an automatic ticket.

"The fact that they are making him go through the primaries with other aspirants in a state like Lagos, shows you that they want to humiliate him", Prince Abeng, a political pundit, submitted.

One top ranking official in Lagos State government set-up told Pulse that Ambode’s mood swings are now more frequent than there have ever been and that the governor isn’t holding back the tears.

“We saw him shedding tears the other day. He even drove himself out of government house, something he’s never done”, the source disclosed.

Pulse was also told that Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike rang Ambode to offer him the PDP governorship ticket in Lagos.

Pulse has been unable to independently verify these stories from our sources, as neither Chief Press Secretary to Governor Ambode, Abib Haruna nor Commissioner for Information in Lagos, Kehinde Bamgbetan, picked up their phones.

An email sent to Bamigbetan on the intrigues in the politics of Lagos APC, has also not been replied, days after.

Moody and dejected

One aide in Alausa, the seat of government in Lagos, describes Ambode’s mood these days as “crestfallen, somber and a tad dejected”.

When Sanwoolu formally declared for Ambode’s seat on Sunday, September 16, 2018, all of Tinubu’s loyalists in Lagos, including Senator Gbenga Ashafa who represents Lagos East in the upper legislative chamber, were in the audience to cheer him on with chants of “incoming, incoming!”

Sanwoolu enjoys Tinubu’s backing and is being galvanized by the Mandate Movement—a grassroot assemblage that answers to Tinubu.

All 57 council chairmen in Lagos have also endorsed Sanwoolu who promised to restore work on a 25-year masterplan once he is elected.

Ambode resumed duties as Lagos governor for a first term in office on May 29, 2015.

I Urge Governor AMBODE to Let them be.. If his Party People says they don't want him anymore, he should let them be.. If he feels he still has good things to do and will love to contest, He should move to SDP or ADC and give it a Shot!

Mr AMBODE has done fairly well in Lagos State.. we can give him a 60/100..

If I was Sanwo I will not go against AMBODE.. I will do my best to bring The Party members to allow Him. The Moment AMBODE does not go, Even The Mandate group will Split btw themselves.

I say this becos there is always a Law of Karma waiting to decend and I tell u, If Gov AMBODE stops at this one Term, The Next Governor will face the Same thing Irrespective of Whatever he does..

Hmmm,why is he crying is Alausa his father's house? I don't knw why they can't just serve 1 tenure and leave for another person,almost all Nigeria Politicians serve 2 terms, Most especially south west.i e
GBENGA DANIEL and IBUKUNLE AMOSUN,
TINUBU&FASHOLA,
Even in Ibadan Ajimobi broke the cause of serving 2 terms, i think they should extends there tenure to 6 years,and no more 2 terms in office,

Number 1 problem Politics of GodFatherism

Clearly we see the results of the election. Lagosian no even get say again

Keep dreaming.
If Ambode does not contest under APC ,then he’s not contesting at all!

Tears for wetin? Are they God? If somehow he doesn't pick the ticket on September 29, PDP or SDP will welcome him.

Make d nigga go another party na

But the [b]Jagaban [/b]warned him not to pick that form after announcing that politicians should make way for others, he wouldn't listen. Why all the tears?

AMBODE decamp,
the yes have it,
PDP on the takeoff Gear...
if you concur,

That's the way the cookie crumbles. Lagos, get ready for PDP.

Nigerians no get say now.. This simply tells us that our votes do not count that's all.....

Eko onii baje

Why won't he cry when he have plans of stealing in his second tenure

Is Tinubu God?
Why must he be the one dictating who becomes who.
Na wa o....
Whereas his wife is going for the third term in the Senate.
It is time to welcome PDP in Lagos.
PDP has some explanations to do in Lagos with what that Afonja Agbaje did towards the build-up of 2015 elections. They will need to re-orientate yoruba voters in Lagos State especially the indigenes of Lagos.

There's always an alternative
