Is it by force to do two terms?


Ambode should consider himself very lucky and privileged to have governed a state like Lagos even for a single term of four years because there are thousands of Lagos entrepreneurs that are better than him but were not given the importunity.


Ambode is not even an entrepreneur neither is he a business man or have ever been into business in his life.

Ambode's decision taking ability is wack.

Ajibel:


He promised to restore and continue with Lagos state development plan blueprint started by Fashola and stopped by Ambode

Oga, Ambode has done excellently in Lagos. He has also minimized the thiefing uncles influence a great deal...that of course, is against your belief. You would rather loot Lagos to the grounds

Did the wife actually slapped a Chaplin?
If she did then let her and her husband receive OHAKIM treatment .

sisisioge:
Tinubu is the don! He carefully placed himself there. I wish someone could actually same him by making a mockery of his political powers. APC should lose Lagos in 2019...Jimi Agbaje is a good deal jare.

I don't see Jimi Agbaje being strong enough

xbernardx:
A woman has the power to make your dreams come true or destroy you forever.

Fear women

Well, it wasn't the woman who ejected the poor chaplin from his apartment. Ambode did that, not his wife. Only a woman-wrapper will allow any woman truncate his destiny.

flames01:
Ambode is acting as if his performance as governor isn't enough to make him win. If performance can't win second term, then this country is dead.

Then all you actually need to win elections or second term in Nigerian politics is not capabilities, good track record, integrity, transparency or performance; you only need to know the right people. Even if I'm corrupt and a total failure in my first term in office, I can still have landslide victory for second term if I'm connected to the right political godfathers.

This country will die a permanent death if this trend continues.

So Tinubu is like a god in Lagos state
Hmmm it is well

jaxxy:
She shud rather go and apologize to the man of God who she maltreated. Reinstate in him back and there might be hope.

Her lack of humility to God because u are a governors wife led her down this part of sheer arrogance disrespecting elders who helped you up and now it’s costing ur husband his job.

Seconded

aolawale025:
Ambode should stop begging and face it head on.
He's a sitting governor with adequate powera

The whole Afenifere faced Tinubu and lost. Obasanjo and Atiku combined with Afenifere against Tinubu and lost. Goatluck Jonaddaft and Namadi Samboribodo faced Tinubu and lost. John Oyegun combined with Saraki and other rogue State Governors and Senators faced Tinubu and lost. Dapo Apara who was Tinubu's money laundering partner faced Tinubu and Dapo is now hiding under his bed in a foreign country. WHO IS AMBODE?

Not strong enough to counter Tinubu but strong enough to do the job.

bluecircle470:
A last-minute effort by the wife of the Lagos State Governor, Bolanle Ambode, to save her husband’s job was said to have hit a brick wall on Tuesday.

It was gathered that Bolanle, who followed Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to Osun State on Monday for the Tuesday’s All Progressives Congress’ mega rally for the state governorship candidate, Gboyega Oyetola, waylaid the National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and tried to pacify him to change his mind.

Sources told our correspondents that her efforts did not yield any result as Tinubu was said to have “received her cordially and joked with her.”

“At a point, she became emotional despite the fact that many party leaders were there. But Asiwaju (Tinubu) did not give her the answer she desired. He merely treated her with courtesy,” one of the sources said.

The governor and Tinubu have been in the news in the past few days over the second term bid of Ambode.


Tinubu had refused to back Ambode’s second term ambition despite pleas by notable people in the state and the country.

Instead, the Tinubu-led Mandate Movement in the Lagos APC had backed Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who obtained his form last Tuesday.

The chairmen of the 57 councils had also declared support for Sanwo-Olu.

Sawo-Olu, a former commissioner in the state on Sunday formally declared his intention to vie for the Lagos State governorship ticket of the APC, promising to restore the glory of the state.

Notable APC leaders in the state, who were either allies of Tinubu or his followers, were at the declaration.

Meanwhile, sources said the Mandate group had started wooing another aspirant on the APC platform, Dr Obafemi Hamzat.

It was gathered that Tinubu’s men wanted Hamzat, who is from the Lagos East like Ambode, to become the deputy governor with a promise that he would supervise a ministry and also nominate two commissioners into the cabinet.


Hamzat campaign team could not be reached on Tuesday for comment.

PSP operators declare support for Sanwo-Olu

In a related development, the Association of Waste Managers of Nigeria on Tuesday made public its intention to support Sanwo-Olu.

The Lagos APC will hold its primary next week to decide who will be its governorship candidate in 2019 election among the incumbent Ambode, Sanwo-Olu, and Hamzat.

At a press conference in their Mushin office on Tuesday, the PSP operators said they believed that Sanwo-Olu, if voted in to replace Ambode, would restore their jobs which the incumbent administration took and gave to a foreign company, Visionscape.

The Vice Chairman of the association, Mr David Oriyomi, who addressed journalists alongside other executive members of AWAM, said the decision to back Sanwo-Olu, was in the interest of about 25,000 workers engaged by the 350 PSP operators, who had lost their jobs.

Oriyomi said the association boasts of no fewer than 150,000 voters at the grass roots, who would be mobilised to help Sanwo-Olu to achieve his governorship ambition.


He expressed the confidence that not only would the emergence of Sanwo-Olu as the next governor of Lagos State help to revive the business of the PSP operators, it would also restore Lagos to its former clean state.

He said, “This injustice should not be allowed to continue, the health and well-being of residents of Lagos must be paramount to all.

“It is, therefore, with great hope that we welcome the emergence of Sanwo-Olu, who has promised to run a participatory government.

“For this reason, we, the Association of Waste Managers of Nigeria, have decided to align ourselves with Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu and pledge our full support to him in the forth- coming elections.

“This decision was taken in the best interest of the environment. We remain committed to servicing the great residents of the centre of excellence. It is time to clean up our city; we did it before, we are able and willing to actualise the Lagos of our dreams.

“We did not just choose to support Sanwo-Olu; we looked at the aspirants. We have the incumbent, we have Femi Hamzat and we have Sanwo-Olu.

“The incumbent, we have seen what he has to offer when it comes to waste management in the state – there is nothing he can offer us.

“Then Hamzat, we have not heard much from his camp; but Sanwo-Olu named the issue of the environment as one of the critical issues that he is going to tackle,” Oriyomi said.

Is Tinubu the owner of Lagos State? Please i need an answer..

sisisioge:


Not strong enough to counter Tinubu but strong enough to do the job.

Unfortunately, Nigerian politics isn't for top performers, men of integrity or those who can do the job; it is for those who know godfathers

Guy , ori e gbasibe ,jagaban , the only terminator that can send u to ur final political grave rest place, eg gej

No more impossition in APC.
Every Candidate should go and face the primaries

Ambode need to also include counsellors, chairmans, including children in is begging, because ambo took a lot away from them without him kning!!! Fashola was a master planner in Lagos, my pple u need to c the joy in any child face wen ever it children day,
Fashola always v goodies for dem either at the blue roof Ikeja or TBS on the island.

Fanty carnival- 25th Dec of every yr, for both mostly children and their parents in Lagos, ambo scrapped it, called it waste of money.

Lagos Mega perty- every Easter Money@ TBS island for youth in Lagos, ambo scrapped it.

Eyo carnival- date unknown, ambo scrapped it.

Lagos State school competitions- ambo scrapped it.

Lagos became boring since ambo became govnor, no spark, no single event to bring the people of Lagos together. internal roads r bad, counsellor and chairman's hardly come together, in those days with Fashola, Lagos was free for all, aja, lekki, obalende, mainland, island, ikorodu, etc chairman n counsellor were all united but today nothing.
ambo shld pls come and be going joooo dirt everywhere.

ybalogs:
Ambode is coming back most definitely. All these actings is just to put him in his place and for him to do the needful once he gets reelected.

.

Exactly my thought

sisisioge:


Oga, Ambode has done excellently in Lagos. He has also minimized the thiefing uncles influence a great deal...that of course, is against your belief. You would rather loot Lagos to the grounds

He has done well but to expectations, better than what Fashola did? NO.

So I don't get what's against my belief here

Aystarz:


Well, it wasn't the woman who ejected the poor chaplin from his apartment. Ambode did that, not his wife. Only a woman-wrapper will allow any woman truncate his destiny.

That is why women should be feared

Ambode should man up and rattle tinubu. I don't understand this asslicking

hmm

what a man this governor is turning out to be. My wife will never go to beg a fellowl man on my behalf or behest. So unmaly

Femi Hamzat is more competent than sanwolu .He was one of the expertise that was invited from US to join Fashola during his administration. But Tinubu can never use him because he has a political base.His father who is now a king is the originator of the justice forum.And justice forum is in all local Governments.

AndLeo:
Ambode should man up and rattle tinubu. I don't understand this asslicking

Yeye afonjas, see as una dey push una fellow afonja enta him grave. When yawa gas now, una go ran away.
Yeye things.

datola:
If Tinubu changes his mind by supporting Ambode for a second term in office, the governor will still move against the interest of Tinubu and turned to another Fashola.

Managing a god father like Tinubu requires a great wisdom.

It appears almost all who campaigned for Ambode complained about him sidelining them and favouring those who did not have any input in his reelection.

Ambode was forming Buhari's 'I belong to nobody' in Tinubu's Lagos.

Ambode overrelied on Tinubu. He didn't offend Tinubu at any point. He thought all was well.

obafemi hamzat is a muslim we wont allow that ambode or another christian must continue tinubu and fashola did 16 years

Under performance ? We are talking about Lagos state not imo or delta !

How many presidents do u see disrespecting men of God(unless genuine reason). They will rather avoid direct confrontations with them and face their jobs. U kicked him out now God is kicking u out.

her disrespect to the man of God has absolutely nothing to do with what happened to Her husband ! He was not carrying civil servants ,political cronies , his godfather along ! Everybody was complaining about him !
