NoSidonLook:
wasn't it this same Ambode lagosians (particularly Yoruba's) were dancing about that he won the best governor few months back.

Why is it now Tinubu decided against endorsing him he's now the bad guy all of a sudden

It's now they know Lagos state is dirty, he is this, he is that...why now?

Had Tinubu given the green light to Ambode would we have seen pointing fingers or heard any accusations against him

Free yourselves from mental slavery...

bluecircle470:


Who was Ambode and Fashola when they were brought out then, where they known? Indomie generation children sef.

dancok:
but the guy worth second term na,he has really tried.

Richdad50:
Dear @Ambode
It is not a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled. It is only a calamity not to dream.
It is not failure not to reach the stars. It is only failure when you have no stars to reach for. Not failure but having low aim in Life is SIN.
Fight your enemies now or forever be a slave.
Rise above your fears for a Man live only but once.
Men who Walk in honour, Die with Honour.

I do not know why people are just meddling into the affairs of lagos state.

There is no state in Nigeria devoid of power brokers and godfathers.

Either the state governor or some minister somewhere.

In rivers Wike is lord, he wants to appoint and anoint every candidate.

In lagos it is Tinubu.

In kaduna it is El Rufai.

In imo it is Okorocha.


Hypocrisy is when you castigate Tinubu but support Wike for being a godfather.

Hypocrisy is when you hail Tinubu but castigate Wike Wike for anointing candidates.

And by the way,

A tenure is 4 years not 8 years.
Elections are not due every 8 years but 4.

When political office holders begin to lose elections after one tenure would be a good time in our democracy.

nzeobi:

oga your theory of comparing tinubu and wike doesn't just add up.

dancok:
Oh why na Ambode has done wonderfully well, they should not let Lagos go backward o.

Yankiss:

Ambode is too weak for my liking. Why not call their bluff and man up? A whole sitting Governor has no control of chairmen under him. It is time to flex up, sack all these chairmen and bring your foot soldiers in. Dump the party and show your mettle. A sitting governor wields enormous powers. You are there whimpering like a kid. Too sad.

Zane2point4:
This is serious am suspecting huge fowl play here.
Its very rare to believe the whole chairmen in lagos will support one candidate, it very rare someone must hv pushed them.

So none of them is satisfied with what ambode is doing in lagos and gave no reason for not supporting him, simply means he didn't dsnce to there tunes.

Most of lagosians love ambode and he is one of the best working governors, he surely will have challenges, but its not even enough reason not to back him.

If Ambode is sure Lagosians love him, let him contest.

It's like you want Ambode to leave office in disgrace.
