Take your likes and shares to the bank and withdraw some money .
You can’t defeat Jagaban in Lagos. Ipobs will only push Ambode into fire. Same way they pushed Jonathief ,Fayose,Eleka and the dancing Ajobiewe clown from EDE.

AlhajaChinyere:
Ok, I am living in lagos, igboland.

Abeg who is the main traditional ruler of this lagos igboland that I am living?

Greenback:
Like for AMBODE
Share for TINUBU

akinselurea:
Pls, who's Ajobiewe?

Ironlion1:
.

How pitiable to hear how some of us contrue issues.
Tinibu is after his personal interest and not Lagos sate and you are hear in support of him?
Are we living with humans or mad people?
If it was the case of a poor performance, it's intelligible but it's not, but greed.
If at the end of the day Ambode is out of the race and a cluless fellow is Governor at the expense of Ambode
whom the masses perceive as the best candidate, then where is democracy in Nigeria?
How can few unperspicacious, greedy and selfish people sit down in a room and sellect who we will vote
for and yet we drum in support of them?
Nigeria? Which way?

AlhajaChinyere:
When are you people going to understand this is not igboland and you are mere visitors here?

OfficialAPCNig:
4 kings are ruling Lagos and non descended from Yoruba:
Eleko of Eko (Bini)
Eze Ndi Igbo na Lagos (Igbo)
Sarkin Hausa (Hausa)
Sarkin Fulani (Fulani)

When was Lagos ever clean?
You stupid people that aren't lagosian,you just have the opportunity to live in Lagos, you'll be running your mouth like your fore fathers founded this state..

Ambode and Otedola must not contest in 2019 under different parties. Otherwise, Sanwo Olu will not survive.

No political analyst can tell me APC can match their combo force. It is simply impossible.

In 2019 election of Ambode, Sanwo Olu and Otedola, victory is certain for everybody but SANWO OLU.

Just read between the lines.
Though it will be tough for Ambode to contest under different party , as he might not be able to stand the consequence (impeachment).
Drama!

Madam, they're not "visitors," they're Nigerians and they're in their country. You don't have more rights than them in Lagos. If you violate their right, they can get you arrested and locked up in this same Lagos and vice versa.

You lots are so ethnically bigoted and blinded with hate. That's why insist APC is not a true national party. It is a marriage of convenience of 2 regional parties (ACN - SW and CPC - North). See how the party has magnified Nigeria's common faultlines when Tinubu and Buhari managed to manoevre it to the center. And anyone is still wondering why the president is an ethnic jingoist?

In the future, with the right constitutional amendments, parties like the ACN, CPC, APC, APGA with no real national spread will not be registered, and personalities like the current president who is a known ethnic bigot cannot emerge as president.

Talk about impunity, corruption and imposition. The no. 1 is APC. Ambode has very clear legacies in Lagos. For me his achievements are greater than those of Tinubu and Fashola combined. Whatever Tunubu/Fashola started Ambode improved on them. He did not start Lawma but he tried to improve on it. He stopped the nuisance attitude of Lasma and VIO in Lagos. Simply put we have the so called private sector operators who prefer to continue using open and rickety vehicles for their refuse collection business. Visionscape is there to improve on whatever shortcomings there are. Our people want to continue doing the same things and expecting different results. We have refuse all over the place because the operators are in court with government. Clearly the outlook of Lagos is changing as the man tries his very best.

Tinubu started the Lagos - Badagry highway issue just before he left. Fashola spent 8 years. Ambode has spent 3.5 years with a promise to complete the project in 2022. Can the two formrr govermors swear that they did not benefit financially from the contract award of the said project?

If they do not want Ambode back, then it shows that Ambode refused to allow the collective patrimony of the people of Lagos find its was into the pockets of a few individuals. That is what I perceive, so they are making him pay for it and paving the way for the man who will do their bidding. Sanwo Olu has already promised that refuse collection will be free. How can he achieve it? Anyway APC is known to make unrealisable promises. Only those who want to be hoodwinked can continue with them. I voted APC in 2015 but with what I have seen so far from the presidency to Ekiti, Osun and Lagos, if Ambode is not chosen then my vote will surely go to Jimi Agbaje if he wins the PDP ticket.

Adesolomon2014:
I can vividly see that you know nothing concerning lagos or its politics. So Sanwo-Olu or Hamzat is clueless? Go do ur assignment on them and see for urself that they are more experience that your said ambode. Ambode was only a civil servant before he was anointed for Governor. Put it also in mind that he had the same shortcomings when he served under Fashola as Accountant General before the same Tinubu waded into the matter. So if Tinubu was greedy as you proclaimed, you still think Lagos will be what it is now right?
You need to rethink and dnt eva write on what you know nothing about.
Also, go do some findings the main reason why party members/lagos grassroots members/lagos foot soldiers do not want ambode to run for 2nd term. Plus, you should wonder why strong personalities of the said party (APC) have not taken sides with the said amiable governor of yours(ambode).

Ambode is insisting on APC ticket not because of impeachment. It's unfortunate that election in this country is not won largely because of your achievement or popularity. Party votes contribute like 65% of total votes. If they like, let Ambode and Otedola come together if they don't have a good party structure, forget it.

Drama!
