Dude, take a chill pill.


And you think that Tinubu, all the LG Chairmen and the party leaders do not have interests in all the areas listed?

Arguably, if it were left for the electorate to decide, Akinwumni Ambode, would be on his way back – for a second term - as the Governor of Lagos state.

However, the decision for his re-election or otherwise, solely became the prerogative of the supreme powers in Lagos.

Today, the man, who has been rated consistently as the Best-Performing Governor in Nigeria, is about to exit  his tenure with a reputation as an under-performer and perhaps - a villain.

Now, how the power brokers in Lagos state were able to sell that smoke-screen narrative to the electorate overnight remains a thing of mystery.

Granted, Ambode failed in some areas. Nevertheless, we cannot deny the fact that for every one area that he failed in, he excelled in far more areas.

Perhaps, Ambode’s political naivety and over-zealousness should be blamed for his current travails. The man unwittingly scripted his own downfall.

Indeed, he ought to have known better than to be on a collision course with power-brokers in the state. Mind you - by power broker, I refer not to his political godfather.

Ambode is one man who is not afraid to take some hard-line decisions - regardless of whose ox is gored. He has demonstrated this trait severally in his spell as governor of Lagos state. Ordinarily, this is the trait of a determined and focused  leader. However, often, especially in our clime, this sort of posture often leads  ones to their downfall.

For instance, upon assumption of the office of governor, one of his first policies was cautioning LASTMA officials to be civil in their activities.  It is also on record that Ambode sent the Federal Road Safety Corp (FRSC) and VIO officials packing  from Lagos state roads, etc.

However,  all these are not of the same gravity as fighting the establishments that installed you as governor of Lagos state. Establishments who install only those that are willing and prepared to protect their selfish interests - as opposed to the interests of the general public.



Autojosh presents 5 Key Transport Policies That Perhaps Affected Ambode’s Re-Election Bid





Plan to Ban Danfo Buses (introduction of 5000 BRT buses)

Ambode’s announcement to ban “Danfo” buses and 5,000 air-conditioned vehicles is, perhaps - one of his greatest undoings.

According to him, his administration had set aside N30 billion for an integrated public transportation system, which  kick-started in 2017.

“We decided that the best thing is to allow the yellow buses go and so the bus reform initiative itself is a three-year plan of 2017 to 2019 in which it intends to bring in new buses of 5,000 units in the three-year plan,” he said.

Note, the NURTW, RTEAN are the supervising union of the Danfo buses. These unions are stupendous money-making schemes in the state, and perhaps two of the deadliest thuggery syndicates in the state.

They are also very effective component of grassroots mobilization for politicians.

Banning Danfos is clearly a huge threat to these multi-billion Naira transport sector syndicates.






Reforming Motor Parks 
Taking over existing Motor Parks from the control of NURTW/RTEAN was a rather daring policy by Ambode administration.

This action was part of the reform in the transport sector.

This policiy is [art of the Ambode administration effort to reconstruct some existing Motor parks in Lagos state for use as BRT bus terminals.

Some notable and very lucrative Motor parks that were taken over by the state include the Agege-Iju Motorpark, Ojota Main Garage, Berger Motorpark, Ikeja New Garage, etc.

Again, note that the primary beneficiaries of these Motor parks are the Local Government Councils together with the road transport unions (NURTW, RTEAN, etc.)

According to the Chairman of the Ojota branch of NURTW, Alhaji Mudashiru Egbedire, This forceful ejection from the parks paralyzed their business.

In the petition dated March 13 to the Lagos State House Of Assembly, and signed by the union Secretary, Dr Matthew Oloko, the union urged the speaker to ensure its members were not thrown into the unemployment market.






The Ban of NURTW-Controlled LAGBUS from BRT Operations

In 2016, the Ambode-led government of Lagos state abruptly banned the operation of the NURTW-LAGBUS-supervised from operating on the BRT Corridor.

The reason giving for the ban was constant breaches of the franchise agreement the operator signed in 2007.

Over 36 BRT franchisees, together with the original NURTW-owned BRT buses were affected.

The ban prevented them from plying the very lucrative BRT corridors to load or drop passengers. They could only use the road like other private vehicles.

On November 7, 2016, the sudden banned sparked off a protest by the LAGBUS bus operators.

The ground for their protest was that they still had a running contract with  the Lagos state government/LAMATA.







4. The Ban of LAWMA-PSP Operation

This is, perhaps, the the worst policies – aside the law on the Land Use Charge – that has emerged from the Ambode administration.

This policy would put the Lagos State Government  and Private Sector Participation, (PSP) operators, waste collection managers, etc., at loggerheads.

According to Ambode, this policy, which is packaged as the Clean Lagos Initiative, CLI, aimed at reviewing the mode of waste collection in the state, by bringing foreign investors with the right expertise and funds to manage waste collection in the state.

But the PSP operators alleged that the government embarked on a solo operation without adequate consultation.

The PSP operators Lamented that the government didn’t consult them, just as he described the policy as a strategy aimed at phasing out the PSP operators.

This face-off was further height

The hasty disengagement of the PSP component and the deployment of this new policy would lead to the refuse-filled streets of Lagos state.

The 27, 000 sweepers employed to clean the streets while the machine will take over the highways in the state did little to salvage the situation.

Helplessly, the PSP operators were later recalled, but with certain unfavorable conditions.

The PSP contractors are believed to be power brokers at the grassroots level.

bayulll011:


Oga bring down those Gibberish you wrote down there.
removing Danfo bus is not the undoing of ambode,the guy is just plainly silly and pathetic.
he took us back to the era where lagos was ranked as the most crazy and helish state to live in 2018.
the guy is so daft and not fit to be govornor and precise the following cost him the second term in office.

1.Lagos traffic[/b]

Heaven knows these is one of the hellish and most annoying thing Lagosian go through daily,all the road are either bad or being in the state of comatose for more than a year due to reconstructuring and slow executions of projects by hes croonics called contractors.

how do you explain the traffic on the island and mainland,u spend most of your time on traffic,you wonder what happen to the fear of lasma we have during fashola regime,all you see is danfo drivers picking and causing traffic in all bus stops.

[b]2.Refuse

lagos has turn to what i called a bin,no street in lagos you will pass through where there will not be gabbages of rubbish in streets,highways etc,he he is clueless on managing waste that was going on fine during fashola era,Ambode gave expatriate to manage the waste in his state these can only be said of someone who is clueless.

3. Infrastructures.

forget all the Elephant project,Ambode is looting Lagos dry,no accountable on all the project in lagos,is either those projects are over budgeted or projected in a manner that one will wonder what's going on,remember Abule Egba bridge and Ojota pedestrian bridge this is just one of those project,and someone should tell him To stop buying generators to power those street,a sensible and visionary leaders envisage and solve problems that may arise in the future not buying generators to police and adding to global warming.

4.Education.

i have not seen anything in these area,Ambode still enjoy all the policies Fashola put into place,fashola build and renovated all the public schools and created some learning and research centres for children with special attributes,but ambode seems not to understand that Lagos populace needs more and viable world class education centres to meet up with the rest of the world.

Amdode has no idea to turn the education of the state around,go to some public school today it will suprise you that some don't have chairs they sit on floor to attends to lectures.


5.Electricity

someone should educate mr Ambode that the whole body of lagos is covered with water,and there is something they called Hydro thermal energy,these can generate more than 34,000 megawatts of electricity and he can sell to neighboring state and earn more money,he should stop buying generators to power all the street light in lagos,this is 2017 for heaven sake the arctic ice is melting,there is global warming he should meet professionals,a nuclear fusion reactors that can be easily shut down by water can serve the whole nation instead of waiting for the unfortunate people at the senate to pass a bill on devolutions of electricity bill that will never see the light of the day.Ambode spent 7Billion in one year to power street light haaaaa.

6.Employment

The lagos state govermnet website advertised some opening recently i will ask how many people was able to apply and get the job,he favored hes croonics,party cheiftance favored the meneber of hes church,no JOB is thrown at the masses,he recruited LASMA recently,where are they today,now neighborhood watch,he waste so much on unproductive projects,most of these projects also take eternity before execution.

Go to street of lagos all you see are hungry and angry youth roaming the street,cos no job which has already paved way to differnet crime in the state,he should come up with idea to employ the common man on the street not all these unproductive job that add nothing to the state.

7.Health.

lagos still don't have viable health scheme,go to our various hospital you will be amazed and cry for us as a nation's,no tools to work on,no word class health equipments you buy bed space,you pay for everything,annoying thing is they fly abroad if they have malaria,lagosian should be wise and these issues of God father has to stop,vote for a sensible and visionary leaders that will add value to your life

8.Arrogant and Disrespectful

One major problem with African leaders once they got to the High positions they value themselves over all others,they dont listen,they dont care,talk about shout all you like we dont care,this is one of ambode major undoing.no respects for party elders,disregards of public opinion and so self centered to listen to the masses,as i always says its an unfolding drama,follow all the episodes but dont take side because politician will always take care of themselves.
