It should take every reasonable mind to wonder what the present denial of the incumbent governor of Lagos State, His excellency Akinwunmi Ambode to seek a second tenure is all about.

After wining the award of the most performing governor, after working on a stable blue prints in transforming Lagos, with legacies to recon with, it will only make a fool of our intellect if everyone decides to just assume his denial is worth it; without given enough reasons why he should not continue in his good work as a technocrats, in times like this when a country as Nigeria needs more of him.

Let us all objectivecally consider some of the reasons and see if it was worth the interest of the people and the nation at large.

Some of the reasons given so far include the sudden mismanaement of waste in Lagos State, the lack of road maintainance in other places and most of all, the lost of interest by the powers that be in Lagos. Please If there are more, help to update us.
If the above are the reasons, can we say it's justifiable? let us answer the question ourselves.

Let's consider some other factors that were not mentioned to us. Could it be that by the end of his second tenure his popularity and public acceptance within and outside his state will be too great to bemanaged by his godfathers? Is the port folio of this man becoming intimidating? what could he be considered to be his position as a technocrat from the west in the future? Is there more to this sudden hate, is all these to our interest or to the interest of the powers that has being and has predicted the future.

If we could get the answers to the above questions then we should know better.

Further to clarify more, what is one's importance in politics if you don't hold the most reputable office through out life in active politics? What will be your honour if you are known as a king maker all your life and at the peak of your career of becoming a king yourself, you are denied because you didn't foresee that one of your own creation is becoming more Preferable to you. What should be your alternative of such obvious threat? You will quickly prevent the flying bird to soon get the reputation of an eagle due to the hight it's about to attain if you don't prevent it. Simply cage the bird, promise to feed and care for it, so when that moment comes you be the only eagle in that terrain and get the power and position you feel you have being deprived of for too long.

Having said that, I believe AMBODE; just like every ordinary Nigerian yet to know what this fight is all about should now know the simple answer to the puzzle, the digits unknown to most of us is "2023". While we are busy with 2019, some folks have seen beyound it and are viewing 2023 in 3D. The number one seat of Nigeria is a fight that must began now for every foresighted politician.

Gov. Ambode must learn to accept the obvious reality that he wronged no one, but the ambition tagged on the digits 2023 is what his troubles is all about.

For we the suffering ignorant masses, we must learn to be wise with our decision and what we champion. Ambode may be gone today, but he has made a name for himself, a reputation to live with. What then is our place after all this, who, what and where are we in all these. We must stand for the interest of our country individually and not to the interest of one man or group with their own selfish interest.

God bless the good people of Lagos State.
God bless Nigerians.
God bless Nigeria.
2019 is closer than tomorrow, make a decision not for your immediate gain, but for the future.

I find it ridiculous bothering myself about Nigerian politics. It isn't structured to favour majority of us.

Honestly, it's disheartening, it's better everyone find an individual change for themselves, cos for a general positive change, even time can't state when that positive moment would come, God help us all.

The" e go better" phrase is an individual thing, I'm happy to have discovered that. National, objectivecally we have lost our direction, it's only religiously that we still hold on to hope even on the wrong track.

Good analysis but not totally correct...my opinion.

It is even more disheartening when you see youths championing and supporting these vultures who are bent on feasting on their future in name of ethnicity. Whatever is bad by any standard is bad wether it is done by an ibo, Hausa or Yoruba man but in this country we see lots of youths defending atrocities because the criminal is from their tribe.
Any person who is still left with some iota of principle is seen as a misfits who cannot fit into the present scheme of things in the country.

True talk, lately I've decided to hold back my feelings no matter the situation when it comes to Nigeria youth. I sometimes wonder if we are under a spell. Even our parents who where not well educated as us were never this tribalistic. They were wiser with their choices, when I read comments by youths in platforms, I just shake my head. It's a shame, the sooner we all get wiser, the better for us all.
