Super story. Abode failed totally. He didn't perform. Period! Fashola was able to go for 2nd term because he got the support of the masses based on his performance. Whether Tinubu had federal power back then or not, he would still not have attempted to stop fashola that lagosians supported fully for a second term. Abode got decieceved by hateful iPod miscreants who were deceiving him.
Building bus terminals and ignoring roads, education and healthcare makes no sense. And anybody thinking you want to ban danfo and okada in Lagos with the level of poverty and population is extremely fo.olish. How many BRT buses did the mumus bring in to be claiming you want to ban danfo? Same useless BRT that is terribly managed?
Other politicians should learn. It is common sense and if you want a second term, you can only get it if you perform. If you perform people have eyes and they 'ok see what you are doing. No godfather can stop you if you genuily perform beyond expectation. When you perform you won't need to waste money for campaign. But na lie...them don swear for many of these politicians . Dem must do the same nonsense every time.
As for Tinubu and others forming godfather, I hope most of them have been promised to live for ever by whatever deity they serve because the way dem carry politics for head and behave like small gods, they better not die ooo. Them must live forever.

OlujobaSamuel:
Abegi, na Tinubu talk sey make Ambode stop work and turned Lagos to something else after losing the ticket?
The guy abandoned governance immediately he lost the ticket, a good administrator that has the love of people at heart will not do that.
He could not manage administratively and politically. Was it propaganda when he went on air ranting about Sanwo Olu, as the governor, he need not engage in such nonsense rant, he should have let one of his boys do such dirty job.

You were in kindergarten when Tinubu retired Obasanjo? Seized allocation and all.
Go and ask Amosun to tell you more. He did more than all you said, in the end, he lost what he sought most.

Leave Amosun out of this baby talk. It's very obvious ogun election was rigged and even at that, all the federal appointments coming to ogun state goes into Amosun's camp. If you live in ogun state, you would know how powerful Amosun was and is. The last election was a joint action against one man. Osinbajo, Tinubu, osoba, oshiomhole, Gbenga Daniel, etc against one single man and he still shook them ferociously. Did you know that it's been conceded to the tribunal that the total number of voters surpasses the registered voters? Tribunal is still on their case so anything is possible. Amosun will never be like ambode. It's only Amosun that had the balls to insult Tinubu to his face without fear. The current minister from ogun is from Amosun's camp.

OsuAmaka:
Mankinde will soon inaugurate the new set of Union excos that are loyal to him. Presently, they are working out modalities & operation commences any time soon. NURTW is a body of road transport workers nationwide. They cannot be permanently banned by any State Governor.

Dude, Lagos is a complex state. Tinubu did his assignment well way before 1999. I give it to the guy, he had vision. Just Alimosho politics alone is way bigger than Kwara.

U weren't current during that period...

Ambode didn't stop work. The Lagos State assembly stopped all works, Ambode had to pay them back by refusing to sign the budget for them not to have money for election as they threatened impeachment...The Lagos members of the National and state assembly endorsed Ambode less than 2month before revoking it , to endosred Gov. Sanwo Olu...it's a risky and strong politicking that survive as a results of Mainly compromised in the opposition PDP and Federal might...tho I was in Taraba state then, but I followed it on the dailies and with some close associates in LASG. It was a clamp down on Ambode as soon as the Jagaban confirmed a NO SECOND TERM FOR HIM, the Lagos assembly started frustrating him and stopped all ongoing projects, infacts the police arrested some LAWMA vehicles who were dumping refuse at major popular locations at night for political gains to discredit Ambode, and to be frank, Ambode is the best first term Gov. in Lagos State with what he did(huge capital projects)...I don't want to talk about Ambode's flop because all human are prone to mistake, of which Baba Tinubu and Fashola did thesame...but to cut the story short... The pains that await Baba Tinubu in 2023, is more than what Ambode went through, not even the vice can survive it, but maybe another loyalist to him who is a Muslim like Aregbesola...else it would just belike handing over power to the opposition before election, Baba Tinubu has already being burried politically for 2023 in the north(mostly northwest) while many are going to Abuja with fake promise to empty the buolliion vans including those sympathetic to Ambode...politics is dirty...please don't take this but just keep ahead before 2021, when the hand writing would be clear...The name Tinubu is worsed than Atiku in terms of corruption in the north(apart from the north Central)...I know this will provoke those that have Baba Tinubu as their principal, but please investigate it first...

Lol. You know nothing. You really know nothing. I wish you knew the real state of things in Lagos. Those in strategic positions in Local governments, the state house of assembly and other state ministries. The key alignment of indigenes and residents, the way things are run underground and all.

Tinubu is a master strategist. He was instrumental to defeating Jonathan in 2015. He withstood the opposition from Obasanjo for years.

obi4eze:


Read through but didn't see where he categorically stated that LASG starts and ends in Tinubu's house.

OhafiaUdumeze:
I wonder how this Tinubu garnered such power to rule almost an entire geo-political zone.
Does it mean no one can fight or challenge him?
Even the great Obasanjo is not as autonomous as Tinubu.

There is no such thing in the North or South and I like it.

Let's watch and see how it ends for him.

*TINUBU IS LAGOS PERMANENT GOVERNOR*

*.... AMBODE IS QUIET OUT OF RESPECT FOR PEOPLE, BUHARI & OSINBAJO - Oluwo*

Former Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources in Lagos State, Mr. Olawale Oluwo, has stated categorically that government in Lagos State starts and ends in the house of the leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Oluwo, who spoke at Afang Summit, organised by a Lagos-based investment banker, Mr. Joseph Edgar, also gave insight into the power play that denied former Lagos State Akinwumi Ambode his second term bid.

In his words, “Part of the things we were doing before they stopped our government was building terminals and bus depots all over the state. If completed, the project will take out completely those garages that have been there for decades. It’s those garages that are producing touts. There is no need for National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).

“The NURTW makes N82 billion every year from Lagos, which is almost 10 per cent of our budget. So, these things would have eliminated the commercial danfo, the molue, tricycle, and okada and the same guys will be the ones running the new transport system. We never used to ride okada. So, why would okada be normal? this is one of the things we were trying to eliminate. The okada and agbero we see today were not in that future.

“I think the Lagos of three to four years may not be the Lagos of the last three to four years. Lagos will change; the change will be tough, rough, and I believe it will be bloody. It will be delusional to think you want to go and do a struggle and you are thinking of coming back. Until you are able to make coming back home a probability, you are not qualified to lead the struggle. You might be qualified to be a supporter or sympathizer of a struggle but you can’t be at the forefront, because nothing good comes easy. Do you think they will leave power and move on?”

On why the powers that-be moved against Ambode, Oluwo said, “Don’t judge a man you don’t know and you have never met before. People manipulate people to destroy people and they succeeded in doing that to Ambode.

“Ambode deliberately decided not to talk. So, it’s not balanced. One side was busy feeding the public with a negative story. I was not only a government official, I was also close to him and I was a member of his kitchen cabinet. I know the time he will talk will come. Ambode has made his own determination not to talk for now.”

On how Ambode became Lagos State governor, Oluwo recounted his meeting with Delta State-born businessman, Mr. Albert Okumagba who “told me that Ambode would be governor of Lagos in 2012 and I laughed. I told him then that even if I don’t know who would be governor of Lagos, I know those who would not be governor, that if they were sharing it for free Ambode was one of those who cannot rule Lagos. And I did not work for Ambode during the primary. I worked for the former Speaker Lagos Assembly, Mr. Adeyemi Ikuforiji, because he is my maternal cousin and I gave him my commitment in 2007 that I would support him in anything.

“I never knew Ambode until Okumagba introduced me to him in 2011 when I took a proposal to his house, and I think at that period, Asiwaju Tinubu had told Ambode that he would be governor of the state. So, Ambode is not the kind of guy they woke up from sleep to be the state governor. I didn’t believe it when I was told. I didn’t work for him during the primary because I did not believe Tinubu was behind him.”

Oluwo also spoke about the battle Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola fought before securing his second term.

According to him, “I don’t want to believe that Tinubu has the intention of making anybody a governor and then give him a second term. Fashola was not meant to go for the second term. There was a plan to stop Fashola; I was in Ikuforiji’s camp at that time and Asiwaju told him to start preparing. Whatever that meant, I don’t know, and Ikuforiji was the only one that came to contest against Fashola during the primary. So, people say probably it was because of Fashola’s popularity that earned him a second term. The answer is, ‘no!’ It had nothing to do with that. It’s just that that thing (federal might), Asiwaju did not have it in 2011. That was what made him succumb to Fashola going for the second term; he had it (federal might) in 2015. If the party had been in power in 2011, Fashola would never have gone back, because these guys (Fashola and Ambode) are technocrats. They don’t have any party of their own; they don’t have structure. PDP was ready to give Fashola the ticket before Asiwaju ran back.”

Oluwo also spoke on the Afang Summit’s theme, ‘The Economy: What Hope?’, saying, “Anybody can build a structure but a man that has access to state’s money to build a structure is different. If Ambode had known a year earlier that he won’t come back, it would have been a different thing, because they sold a dummy to him and to all of us but I didn’t believe them and I told my people that they were being deceived. Ambode did not fight because of Buhari. One, Ambode didn’t know that Buhari would be aloof and will not get himself involved. Two, he had too much respect for Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

“They sold Ambode a dummy, that the ticket will be given to him, but they just wanted to shake him and they were sending people to tell him, ‘don’t worry, you are too popular to be stopped.’”

Oluwo also spoke about the relationship between Ambode and Lagosians, noting, “There are things Lagosians didn’t like. Refuse became a disaster; they didn’t like the Land Use Charge, but that doesn’t affect the ticket of a political party. The refuse problem is not as serious as killings under Buhari. As long as you are on the right platform of a political party and they have money they can share, some Nigerians will sell their votes and look the other way and let you write the result. That is the level of our development at this time.

“Yes, mistakes were made on Visionscape, but in every reform, you are displacing vested interests. They would fight back and take you down or destroy the programme. Visionscape has its own problem, but they escalated it. But one thing is sure, Lagos will go back to Vissionscape reform; they may repackage it, do the naming ceremony for it but they will surely go back because that is the only way to manage waste and the transportation programme we put together.”

On what Ambode would have done differently if he had realised early that he would not get the ticket of the party, Oluwo said, “Forget about the party leaders; they don’t count. That thing they call Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) is a toothless bulldog; they don’t have one per cent relevance in the scale of hundred. Ambode was too popular for them. So, what Abode should have done was to have gone to his principal to say, oga, anything you do, we are going into this second term together, give me my second term and I will give you everything you want’. The truth is that Ambode never had any issue with Tinubu; it was people that came in between them.

“Nobody has power in Lagos outside Bourdillon. If Ambode had given the impression that he was ready to fight, they would sit him down. It is about power and resources; power does not belong to these people. The lesson learned is that you can be given something on a platter of gold, but you may not sustain it on a platter of gold.”
