The chances of Lagos Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, of emerging as the State governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress, APC, in the 2019 general election further dimmed on Saturday after over 350 councillors shunned his invitation ahead of the party primary scheduled for Sunday. Chairmen of local government areas in the state have been publicly associating with another governorship aspirant on the party’s platform, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, believed to enjoy the support of the party’s hierarchy and promoting his candidacy. Attempt by Ambode to get all the 377 councillors in the state to back his reelection bid may have suffered defeat after a meeting approved by the governor to woo the councillors ahead of the party primary on Sunday was spurned by majority of the invitees. “This is to inform all the councillors in Lagos State under the All Progressive Congress, APC, that there will be a meeting with the Ambode Mandate Support Group, AMSG, on Saturday, 29th September @ N0 32, Ladoke Akintola Street, GRA, Ikeja. Time is 9am prompt. Announcer: Hon. Olasunkanmi Adekola, PRO Lagos State Councillors Forum,” a Whatsapp message sent to all the councillors and sighted by our correspondent read. The message by Adekola, a councillor representing Ward B in Mosan Okunola LCDA, however, was not well-received by his colleagues going by their turnout at the meeting, which was presided over by Special Adviser to the governor on Community and Communication, Mr. Sulaiman Omoyele, AKA Oris, who is the DG of Ambode campaign organisation. Source with inside knowledge of the meeting, said the attendance was underwhelming as most councilors, over 350 of them, stayed away on the grounds of having an axe to grind with Ambode. “We were crossed with him for spurning all the attempts we made in the past to have an audience with him and this is payback time. He refused to meet with us when we needed him, and now he wants to curry favour with us,” a councilor from Lagos West, who deliberately absent himself from it, told us on condition of anonymity. It was further gathered that the few who made the meeting are some councillors from Ibeju Lekki Local Government, Lekki LCDA, Epe Local Government, Eredo and Ejinrin LCDAs, all under Epe Division where the governor hails from. They were alleged to have left the meeting happy with their palms allegedly greased by their hosts. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/09/lagos-apc-primary-councillors-shun-ambodes-invitation/amp/?__twitter_impression=true 7 Likes

Flyingngel: No sir!!! Ambode will spring surprises at the last minutes. APC CANNOT win Lagos without Ambode!!! Mark this!!! With Billions that should have been shared by mandate group, Ambode can buy humongous votes, that is why they are afraid of the primary. I learnt they have postponed it again! Failure stares Tinubu on the face, if he loses, Ambode becomes Jagaban of Lagos! If Sanwuolu wins, Ambode will sell Lagos to either PDP or ADP. All the same, failure stares Tinubu on the face. 98 Likes 8 Shares |

I must confess, I feel really sorry for Ambode. Seems all possible routes to him making any headway in this imbroglio have been sealed, and so has his fate. Sorry sir. Maybe this isn't just yours for the taking. |

Flyingngel: Can you show us where he fought Tiinubu? Just 5 weeks Ago Ambode was a Lagos hero and today just because Tinubu is acting up everybody is acting up .... If Ambode was fighting Tinubu in his first term don't you think he will have his own political structure today ? Only Tinubu knows why he has abandoned Ambode and it has nothing to do with loyalty 18 Likes |

Flyingngel: Ambode has no problem with Tinubu. This has been said a million times. Like the councillor said, this is payback time, Ambode felt he only needed Tinubu's support and so neglected the others so bad that Muiz Banire is working with the Mandate group to oust Ambode. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Ambode must be an extremely terrible person. Where are his foot soldiers? I am not referring to these nonentities online. I mean where are the distinguished persons who can stake their reputation for this man? For crissakes, Adolf Hitler had people willing to go to war for him! Ambode go back and work on yourself. The whole world cannot be against you and you still insist you are right. Jesus that had enemies of both physical and spiritual realms still had his foot soldiers. Ambode, your state has rejected you. The people advising you to contest are your enemies who are planning for your total humiliation. Do the right thing. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

Copied: I met Buhari and Obasanjo in New York, and I can tell you this Buhari is not and will never be Obasanjo. Buhari read his speech at the General Assembly in New York, no one heard him. No one could hear what the man was saying. The reason you could hear him and I could hear him was because what you were listening to at home was broadcast. I had to use headphones even though I was in the hall to hear him. It was shocking. I will show you the video that I captured. People were walking out or doing their things. My colleague later asked me whether Buhari could not talk. It was so different when the President of France and others were there, giving the same speech. But Obasanjo has a presence that is difficult to ignore. At a gathering yesterday, when it was his time to talk, he stole the show. First of all, he disagreed with everyone, with the entire world! He said it is always repeated that health is wealth. I completely disagree with that. Health is not wealth. But health is everything, including wealth. Obasanjo continued. There was a rich man, he said, not quoting him word for word, who was never satisfied, then he got old, and lost his health and money and power and influence could not restore it. Then he realized he had the greatest gift on earth. Health. So he said he would end where he started, that health is not wealth, but health is everything, including wealth. People applauded, some stood up. Baba may have his scandals. But Baba is not Buhari. Forget the things Femi Adesina is dishing out. How Buhari unfolded Nigerian agenda here. There was nothing like that. Buhari is an uninspiring man, who does not grip attention. His so called charisma is just a myth, seeing him face to face, there is nothing. But Baba is baba! 20 Likes |
