it's like u have forgotten that pdp controlled all parastatals when they were in power so u think APC will not do same.dont expect court to declare adeleke winner except pdp wins come 2019

The courts are independent and they don't take APC prisoners for obvious reasons.

Biodun556:


ok that he steps on toes by not allowing them to loot lagos dry, or because of refuse. So is that enough to stop the Governor from re contesting. After apologising to the leadership of the party what else do they want? if a child scord 8 over 10 your exam will you expel him from your school? All these reasons they are giving are baseless there are things that can not be said in public and we must not allow an individual to treat issues affacting a state like bedroom matter. the jinx must be broken.

He's recontesting tomorrow

ipob, instead of rambling on and on with your typical ipob shallow rubbish, why not help ambode by promoting and listing his achievements and what he did with N2.5 trillion.

It's all about competence accountability, not your typical ipob obsession with other people.

Even if you are ,are you not more intelligent than this APC supporters at every little opportunity they turn to insults, very rude and uncivilized people

This is very desperate and childish from Ambode. He needs to adjust himself.

miqos02:
he can't be impeached, the state chief justice won't set up any committee to probe allegations against him

Indomie generation that does not know how politics is being played in Nigeria

techstack:
The reason is that the core Lagosians believed that Ambode is not a true Lagosian

So they want core lasgidian

Is he from Ondo or Osun?

Singing Obe's "Sanya-olu chairman ajoku egbe"

Ode you are just knowing..

If he wasn't having clash with Tinubu would have said this? Ambode was the APC flagbearer in the 2015 general elections not one person said a word about where he was from.

Ambode must get the APC ticket else APC Lagos is a goner

Lyoncrescent:
Few points to be clear about:

In 2015 tinubu imposed Ambode who was fired by fashola to be governor. It was okay then for ambode to be imposed and suddenly not okay for him to be disposed by the same people.

In the 2015 primaries, supo shasore and hamzat didn't throw personal insults on Ambode despite Ambode having tinubus backing. Hamzat at least has been in Lagos alausa politics when ambode was still in the local government

Sanwaolu has never in any of his utterances insulted Ambode. Kwam 1 and some party leaders like baba Eto and muiz banire have been critical of Ambode but not sanwaolu

What decent human being uses ones health condition to fault him on national TV. Even people sympathetic to ambode have said the press conference is a new low which clearly shows he's not a politician. In 2011, a bunch of protesters stormed alausa to protest against tinubu to support fashola second term. You know what fashola did ? He went live on LTV immediately and told all parties to calm down and He praised tinubu and the party structure and promised to align with the party. Mind you that almost half of the party structure supported fashola but he never turned on tinubu or the party while albode cannot even boast 10 percent of support from the party.Same fashola that didn't support Ambodes candidature and even fired Ambode from his cabinet campaigned vigorously for ambode simply because he understood the party is supreme. This Ambode is throwing the party under the bus

Ambode is blackmailing the party by saying in his press conference that the only way Buhari can win Lagos is if he remains as governorship candidate. Ambode or no ambode, I as a person will not vote Buhari. Buhari has been demystified and is not the enigma he once was. Fashola was imposed. Ambode was imposed. Now sanwaolu imposed. Nothing new even though it's wrong

All in all, i have always said , tinubu is powerful but not that powerful such that 99 percent of the party structure is against ambode. Even fashola and muiz banire that are against tinubu in a way are not supporting Ambode. This press conference is a new low but I still wish him and his advisers/supporters all the best

In case you missed it, read muiz banire who is the biggest critic of tinubu in lagos state his reasons why ambode doesnt deserve a second term

https://www.nairaland.com/4755448/muiz-banire-why-ambode-doesnt

What Ambode has done is exactly the same thing I would have done. Prior to this conference Ambode has tried to resolved all loose ends with Tinubu and other party chieftain, he has met with the national leaders of the party, and even met with the president to resolve the crises in the party but the Lagos big wigs are hell bent on embarrassing him out of office. Of course you don't expect him to go down without a fight.

what Ambode has done is the case of "Pikin wey say him mama no go sleep himself no go sleep". He is creating future damage for the party if in case he loses the party ticket and with Lagosians knowing this allegations against Sanwo Olu then he will be rest assured of loosing Lagos.

In my view Ambode did a smart thing that name calling and slandering this guy. Let's see who laughs last.

Kennydoc:

He may lose the fight, but APC will hear from Lagos electorates. Buhari knows the damage it will do to his votes from Lagos and that's why he's supporting Ambo. Tinubu is in a big mess. If Ambode loses the ticket, Jimi Agbaje may just be on his way to becoming the next governor of Lagos. If Ambode wins, Tinubu will lose his grip on Lagos despite an APC government in power.

Dicey and interesting my brother

JacksonOyibo:



If he makes a deal with Jimi Agbaje, Femi Pedro and Femi Otedola... APC and Tinubu would be finished.

Are you aware Jimi Agbaje was a core APC man until Tinubu picked Fashola over him? Do you know Pedro is now fully back in APC Lagos, and is even on the electoral committee of the party? As for Femi Otedola, I use God beg am, he shouldn't squander his wealth in politics - he should stick to business.

statusquoante:


He has damaged Sanwo Olu beyond repair.
Take it or leave it.

Dear Andrew,

If indeed you would do exactly what Ambode just did, then you will most certainly end up like he is about to end... in failure.

"Mo'ja mo'sa ni a fi n'mo akinkoju..."

Know when to fight & know when to retreat is the hallmark of a great warrior...

Only a fool rushes headlong into an armoured battalion. Even Jesus advised against such and proposed that the weaker king sue for armistice long before a shooting war commences. How do you go guns blazing into a fight you cannot win?

For your info, all associations, cooperatives, political groups etc are behind Sanwo-Olu. The entire APC structure; 50+ LCDA heads, almost all Assembly members and even Ambode's own cabinet members are all behind Sanwo-Olu. The candidate of the Justice group, the 2nd biggest caucus in Lagos APC after Tinubu's Mandate group, Hamzat, has also backed down for Sanwo-Olu. Where is Ambode's hope? In God? I don't think so. You can ask the Chapel of Light priest he threw out.

If I were Ambode, I will step down from the primaries, support Sanwo-Olu and make amends with the party chiefs. Stay as Governor till May 2019 and do all possible to support the candidate. Then take the necessary appointment that will be available at the Federal level.

Launching a stupid roforofo fight will be my last option. Some things you guys called cowardice is actually great wisdom. As the saying goes, "It is the coward who survives the war to point out the grave of the brave who died at the warfront"!!

otokx:
Hope Ambode is not being persecuted for being a Christian?

Christian?

I dare say that Fashola was more Christlike.

Was it not same Tinubu that imposed him?

Boss

I can't believe your assertion on this issue, I really can't place my head and understand the point you are trying to make. My question is has Ambode being a bad governor, has he not performed in his first term, what and where did he go wrong? All the party leaders, LCDAs heads, and legislators are only against Ambode because of TINUBU. This is a shameless and visible godfatherism playing it's politics here.

As a warrior you cannot drown in your fear, you cannot be coward and not put up a fight. Ambode has shown that he's a warrior, he's not a chicken like many of us thought in 2015.

What would be said of Ambode if he steps down for Sanwu Olu so he can be compensated with a federal appointment? A total disgrace to himself, his family and lagosians at large. Both Ambode and the party are toying with the tail of snake with these brouhaha, the instability and imbalance in the party.

Trust me if Ambode loses out in the APC primary and he decamps the party, APC is loosing Lagos to an opposition party. It's very easy as it looks.

It's about Tinubu grip on Lagos be let loose. Ask Obasanjo how he lost Ogun state to APC.

its getting interesting

I appreciate your views on this matter. However, things like this require clear heads rather than raw emotions. You said Ambode is a warrior. Well, it is a tiny difference between a warrior and a fool. A warrior is Samson (in the bible), knowing he has supernatural powers. A fool is Jelili rushing at armed robbers who attempt to steal his new car at gun point.

Ambode cannot win this fight so why launch a roforofo? He is worse off if he decamps as he will be impeached immediately and he does not have a meaningful political structure to contribute to opposition. Opposition also do not have a meaningful structure today to compete with so it is a lost cause. So where is the sense in his fight?

You said Tinubu is controlling everyone. Of course this is not true unless you assume that the thousands strong APC members in Lagos are all fools under a spell. I am opportune to know a few contractors, party men etc and have complaints for long about Ambode's governance and perceived failure of leadership so not surprising where it lead to.

Be less emotional, man. Ambode is gone and his latest action is the last flight of stupidity before the ant kamikazes into the hot candle wax!

lol funny you, your assertions are easier said than done.. believe me, if you are in ambo's shoe, you will not leave without a fight, no one likes to be undermined.

There is something called emotional intelligence. The more of it you have, the better your chances of surviving difficult times. The less of it, the quicker your steps on the road to perdition.

There is also something called SWOT in business analysis. If your "W" & "T" far outweigh your "S" & "O", I advise you to quickly play track 5 from Michael Jackson's thriller album (i.e. "Beat It", in case you didn't know)!

I also recommend Luke 14: 31-32. That is Jesus' parable about the kings at war. As Jesus is generally regarded as a sensible guy by most people, I'd take his advice, if I were you or Ambode.

[quote author=herlonso post=71665816]
Hypocrisy at its best. Is it not his right to contest election. They adopted direct primary why are they trying to change it to consensus in the dying minutes and forcing him to step down.
As long as democracy is concern, he has the right to contest for the primaries. That write up you quoted as intelligent is bias.
Second term is not a must truly but is Tinubu also the owner of Lagos. Why must he be imposing candidates on the people of Lagos.

my man, I know Tinubu is not the owner of Lagos and I am not indeed a fan of godfatherrism. But anybody who got to power through the backing of godfather like Ambode will never have my support if he later complains of godfather's overbearing influence. it is like someone who sacrifice his soul for devil to get affluence and now go to church to seek deliverance against the same devil . kole werk!

raumdeuter:
This tantrum throwing just showed he lost control

He was goaded and he cracked under pressure.

He was the one to attack SanwoOlu first, A person in control doesn't crack

I think at this point Ambode is done

I was supporting Ambode before but after this press conference, I think he doesnt have it, He should have left the attack to his aides

While still scheming in the background. After you attacked everyone now, who will support you

The SanwoOlu campaign are now responding like the matured party
