Yorubas and hypocrisy... I can remember how afonjas were littering every nairaland thread with praises of Ambode...Even called him the best governor in Nigeria and insulted others over a miserable bus stop commissioning.. Now, that their Alimi re-incarnate God of bourdillion have ceased to support Ambode,they've all shown their two-faced slimy nature.. It's now Lagos is dirty.. Ambode is corrupt.. He's an emperor.. LMAO

Ambode should learn his lesson now... the treachery of an Oduduwa descendant is inborn and genetic. All his tribalistic Yoruba language and land use charge laws cannot save him....Yoruba Muslims have shown they decide the destiny of the Yoruba race.

Shattap!

Like you did not betray Ojukwu when he contested for President and rather voted massively for a Yoruba man


Hypocrisy indeed

If they try it, we are going to make lagos state ungovernable for them
Ambode we know, Ambode we trust.

No Christian must rule lagos state again. Ambode should quietly step down. Lagos State is predominantly native Muslims.
Enough is Enough

Shoro niyen?

What!!!

I have a question biko.Where is Fashola in all these drama?
1.Dont he have any say in Lagos politics?
2.Did Ambode offend him too?
3.Cant he stand as a middle man betwn tinubu n Ambode?
4.Why has he kept quiet all this while and why is no body calling on him or his name been mentioned

Wetin?? This is the height of it ! If you want to kill a man , let him go down like a man ....Tinubu's fall will be greater than Bashorun Ga's

[quote author=meolaniyi post=71659612]No Christian must rule lagos state again.

Will you keep quiet. For how long will you continue to say this? I noticed you have said this for umpteenth time. Must you play politics with religion? Who even do the counting of Lagos people based on faith? People with sentiment like you will not allow this country to move forward.

Yeah most of them are hypocrite, I mean this is the only governor in south west they were bragging about.

First year, second year and third year they didn't complain, its now time for election some useless elements want to pull him down just because he stop money from flowing.

I already knew something like this will happen when a guy from ministry of work was complaining bitterly about no money, he said then you can go to your street, snap pic of bad road or drainage, tell them you want to fix it and money will be given to you.

Now it's not the same, every money must pass through Ambode, no free money again that's why they are ganging up against him.

Nigeria is a joke, 2nd term is not a birthright, Buhari can't dictate or impose governorship candidate in any state.

This issue is a potential issue that is going to destroy the APC in Lagos.Please continue the infighting.

Stand Down Or Face Impeachment, Tinubu’s Camp Threatens Ambode
“they are threatening to impeach him should he refused to bow to their demand to withdraw. The incumbent governor, who is traditionally entitled to another term is being harassed and intimidated by Tinubu’s political machine to withdraw for their new man, even though the governor had agreed to subject himself to primary. They are boasting that they will direct the State House of Assembly to immediatly begin impeachment proceedings against him


As high-wired intrigues continue to play out in Lagos State over the incumbent governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode’s re-election bid, competent sources saturday revealed that a key segment of the party led by the National Leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has asked the governor to stand down his second term bid or face impeachment. The threat to impeach the governor is an escalation of pressure being piled on him to drop his quest for second term.

A competent party source sympathetic to the governor, who demanded annonimity since he was not authorised to speak on the intrigues and power play currently playing out informed THISDAY yesterday, “they are threatening to impeach him should he refused to bow to their demand to withdraw. The incumbent governor, who is traditionally entitled to another term is being harassed and intimidated by Tinubu’s political machine to withdraw for their new man, even though the governor had agreed to subject himself to primary. They are boasting that they will direct the State House of Assembly to immediatly begin impeachment proceedings against him.”

The APC had initially insisted on conducting direct primary election to select its governorship candidate in the spirit of democracy. But it suddenly reversed itself, directing Ambode to withdraw from the contest to enable the party present Sanwo-Olu as the consensus candidate.

It also emerged yesterday via a statement from the Vice President’s office denying endorsing Sanwo-Olu. “It was while he was coming out of the GAC meeting that Mr. Sanwo-Olu and Mr. Hamzat took advantage of the VP’S presence to take the photos which are now being falsely paraded as proof of endorsement.

“The VP did not go there to endorse Sanwo-Olu., they only took advantage of his presence,” a source at the meeting confirmed last night.”

Rather, sources at the GAC meetings hinted that Prof Osinbajo, who is believed to be supportive of a second term bid for Ambode, conveyed the view of the Buhari presidency that there should be a level playing field in the overall conduct of the primaries.

Party chieftains spoke with THISDAY yesterday in confidence on the drama that took place at the meeting of the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) held Friday night. They disclosed that the APC leader threatened to impeach Ambode if the governor refused “to step down for Sanwo-Olu.” Ambode was said to have looked him squarely in the face and refused.

But Ambode Mandate Support Group condemned the call for the governor’s withdrawal as undemocratic. The group also reacted to the postponement of the APC governorship primary in the state, which has now been scheduled for October 1, saying they were confident that Ambode would fly the party’s flag in 2019 election as it has received overwhelming support from several quarters for him.

There has been uncertainty about governor’s re-election after Sanwo-Olu, currently the managing director of Lagos State Development and Property Corporation (LSDPC), and former commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, declared their intention to challenge the governor in a primary contest.

As a result, the Mandate Movement, a powerful political machine of Tinubu, endorsed Sanwo-Olu for the governorship contest, heating up the state’s political climate ahead of the primary election.

Ambode’s travails had attracted the intervention of President Muhammadu Buhari; former Ogun State Governor, Chief Olusegun Osoba; Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi; the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF); and the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF). They all tried to persuade Tinubu to make up with Ambode.

With the presidential intervention, Tinubu decided to consult the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC), the state’s highest advisory political organ, comprising 22 APC chieftains across the three senatorial districts. But in its resolution, the GAC directed Ambode and two other aspirants to face the direct primary election.

At the GAC meeting held at Tinubu’s residence, Bourdillion, Ikoyi, Friday night, one of the party chieftains explained how Ambode addressed the leaders of the GAC, justifying point by point the reasons he decided to seek re-election in 2019.

Specifically, according to the chieftain, Ambode hinged his re-election bid on the need to complete various infrastructure projects and urban renewal programmes that his administration initiated in the last three years.

Despite his justifying his re-election bid, the party chieftain stated that Lagos Central APC leader, Prince Tajudeen Olusi, asked the governor “to step down for Sanwo-Olu. He claimed that the GAC had already endorsed Sanwo-Olu as the party’s consensus candidate.”

Another party chieftain revealed that a member of the GAC, Prof. Tunde Samuel, interrupted Olusi while he was telling Ambode to withdraw from the race, observing that Olusi’s statement did not reflect a common position of all GAC members that all aspirants should face primary contest.

In response to Olusi, however, the party chieftain claimed that Ambode simply told the meeting that he “will not step down for any governorship aspirants on the ground that it is undemocratic. He also said he stood by the earlier position of the GAC that all aspirants should face direct primary contest to foster democracy in the country.

The source stated, at this point, Tinubu, who chaired the GAC meeting, became angry and quickly interjected, threatening Ambode with impeachment, if he failed to stand down for Sanwo-Olu before the primary election earlier scheduled to hold today which was later postponed till tomorrow by the APC national secretariat.

THISDAY learnt that it was resolved at the meeting that a stakeholders’ meeting should be held on Saturday at the party secretariat, Acme road, Ogba. It was expected that Tinubu would come to the meeting to endorse Sanwo-Olu. To their surprise however, thousands of Ambode’s supporters thronged the venue chanting Ambode solidarity songs and raining curses on national leader: Tinubu ole Tinubu ole.

Eventually, Tinubu was forced to stay away.

When THISDAY contacted Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Tunde Rahman, for his reaction to the threat to impeach the governor by Tinubu’s camp, he responded, saying he did not “have any comment to make.”

Rather than attending as originally planned, Tinubu delegated a GAC leader, Senator Anthony Adefuye, to represent him.

At the stakeholders’ meeting, Adefuye acknowledged that there was another GAC meeting, which held by 10 am on Saturday, noting that the meeting was attended by the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, and Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, among others.

Adefuye said, “The meeting was chaired by the APC national leader, Tinubu. This is a meeting that we started at 10am. And we could not finish early. After the meeting, I have been mandated by the GAC to announce this to you that the primary earlier scheduled for Saturday, September 30 has been shifted to Monday, October 1.

By the time they make like 5 arrest the rest will fall in line, impeach him based on what, because he refuse to step down, what nonsense, i am not an APC, but they should allow him contest, if Bello of Kogi can run why wont Ambode

I am feeling for this guy though

Benekruku:
The best and most honorable thing for Ambode to do now is to bow out

Every Lagos state political structure are already against him

Why cant the same political structure allow him to contest then vote him out in the primaries instead of telling him to take a bow just like that Its as easy as ABC unless there is something they are hiding from the masses

Ambode if APC thinks you are no long useful one of the other parties will gladly receive you.

See as they're using Nigerians to play games

As matter of fact, all Nigerians are hypocrites. APC members are the greatest of them all. They praise you today and turn the other way the next day. This is so disgusting!

Even those that have not seen Ambode before are also playing the Tinubu scripts.
We need help in this country.

Thats what he cant win, you can see the confidence in Sanwo olu's camp

confidence ?? You call forcing your opponent to step down to make you consencous candidate confidence? Who all of a sudden is afraid of direct primaries that they have been clamoring for ? I laugh at your words

APC game is very simple, sanwo-olu will win the primary but Ambode will ensure APC lose. So their last game plan is to intimidate him to resign so they can have access to govt apparatus which they will need in the main election.
