Oghene1st:
Akinwunmi Ambode did the right thing for not trying to do in Lagos what Obaseki did in Edo.

Reasons:

1. Ambode had nobody with him in Lagos State House of Assembly unlike Obaseki who enjoys the support of the Speaker of Edo State House of Assembly, Francis Okiye.

2. Ambode don't have the support of his 'Godfathered' deputy unlike Obaseki who has the full support of Philip Shaibu, a loyal and trustworthy deputy.

3. The PDP in Lagos which is under the weak leadership of Bode George has no member in any top political office in the state and in Nigeria compared to Edo state that has active Senators (2) and House of Reps (6) in the National Assembly.

4. Obaseki won the heart of Edo people by silencing the audacious thugs led by Tony Kabaka. Can you say that about Lagos?

5. Obaseki has many sympathisers in his former party APC, who worked for his re-election as Governor. The recognised Edo APC Faction Chairman is a good ally of Obaseki. That can not be said in the case of Ambode. All APC party members in Lagos lick the foot of Tinubu.

What I'm saying is that, it would be foolish for Ambode to pull that Obaseki's stunt in Lagos. Had it been he has done so, it might have damaged his political career.

Though, it is obvious that Muhammadu Buhari hates Godfatherism because he has been a victim of such practice. Now, under him, so many Godfathers were relegated in different States.

It is now up to Ambode who saved his political career to fight back. He lives to fight for good another day. That day should be closer than we all think.

AMBODE IS STILL A POLITICIAN.

"Had it been he has done so, it might have damaged his political career" His political career is in tatters.

Ambode is a typical example of coward.He would have started the fight and see how people will support him.

Ambode was too weak

he wasn't.....a Yoruba from Lagos can never have that courage Ambode had.the average Yoruba man in Lagos will support u and do different things at your back...everyone left Ambode and he was all alone fighting tinubu. lagos yorubas need to learn from doggedness and bravery of ondo,Oyo and Ekiti yorubas.

Ambode got the courage cos he was brought in in warri

You've said it all Ambode is visionless, how can he aspire to soar the great heights of national politics sitting comfortably on time bomb.
A wise politician with ambition would have started forging a strong bond with both party members and outsiders.

He stupidly sat down and was expecting to get second tenure by licking Tins hairy black testicles.

Can we take a break from tinubu news abeg

Because he has been sacked from his national leader position, just as Oshiomole was sacked from his chairman post
Is he not looting our commonwealth with Buhari and other APC rogues, who are experts at chop & clean mouth?

You don't understand that the issues are different. It was the party who fought against Ambode not Tinubu perse. Ambode sidelined the party and there's no way even Tinubu could have saved him. it was the party elders and members who rejected Ambode not Tinubu perse, Tinubu have no choice than to abide by the decision of the party, get this right

If Ambode was ready to fight, he would have gotten support from within and outside Lagos.
Not everyone in APC likes tinubu dominance, some are tired but who will bell the cat??

No 5 cut my mind-

"All APC party members in Lagos lick the foot of Tinubu"

Despite d dominance they still bribe during election to win....

Ambode was too weak

He had every opportunity to become a legend but he refuse to try

Neddstark:
Ambode should have put up a fight at least. He would have garnered more votes than the regular defeated customer Jimi Agbaje. Ambode would have gotten 70% of non-Yoruba votes in Lagos. But he is what he is, a coward

It was a typical , if obaseki was in his shoes , he will fight tinubu , even those same people were here saying obaseki will lose Edo , but obaseki didn't listen to them , if Ambode was in obaseki's shoes he will run for Osho too

APC supporters in Lagos were against ambode because they said he was stingy.They wanted him to be sharing public fund as if he was a father Christmas.Ambode wouldn't have won the election because mc oluomo is the one using thugs to intimidate voters for tinubu candidate to emerge winner.
The thug just build one beautiful hotel at oshodi and efcc is not doing anything about it.This is a man who has no known means of livelihood except being a chairman of a government institution'NURTW'
The oba of Lagos to throw anyone who is against tinubu's preferred candidate is enough to back down

It is only possible in Edo because they lack human capacity, ambode couldn't have displaced a more enlightened and exposed JK Agbaje

Yorubas won't support Ambode because they ain't ready to Emacipate from Mental slavery

By 2023 dey fit change that meme write-up to "Nigeria no be Lagos"

Exactly , if he didn't win as we all expected , at least he would have cut his tail a bit

Op just making excuses for cowardice.

This write is very correct oh but, most people who wanted Ambode to fight don't really care if he wins the election.


We all wanted him to fight because, it would send a strong message to the people to gear up and kick against godfatherism in Nigeria politics...


Ambode was a man with developmental agenda for Lagos State, so I believe, if he had started a fight, he would have sent a strong message to the people of Lagos State and Nigeria in general that would reshape the political atmosphere


Fighting sometimes does not really means winning every time but, to test strength and gear up courage and braveness.


Obaseki's victory was as a result of his braveness to dare the self acclaimed powers that be...

If you over beat small pikin, he go cry and when passerby see the pikin, no matter wetin the pikin do, dey go always support the pikin against you.... This is what happened in Edo State and obaseki cry out but Ambode nor grree cry out

Fashola was in same strait with Ambode yet he was able to manipulate his ways to secure second term. There is no point of defending Ambode, he saw fight and he ran without looking back.

Forget whatever they tell you
This is the real reason Obaseki won

Omoluabi16:
Exactly what I told someone the other day. People are just abusing ambode without thinking things through. His downfall and impeachment would have been so spectacular. Las las he still enjoys the status of a FORMER governor.
'Bravery' is not always wisdom.

The same thing would have been said of Obaseki if he hadn't fought Oshiomhole to standstill and make him politically irrelevant.You people should wake up and deliver yourself from perpetual slavery from thiefinubu.

fuckingAyaya:
Yorubas won't support Ambode because they ain't ready to Emacipate from Mental slavery

Shut up. Who told you yoruba is under slavery. Let your region play their politics the way it suit them while Yoruba play theirs the way it suits them.

If there is a will then there will be a way.

I agreed with some of the things you said but not all and don't forget that the timing of both elections were different and buhari needed lagos then.
Don't forget obaseki started planning early but they were deceiving ambode and praising him only to decimate him when he least expected it.
Now no ministerial appointment with EFCC pay him visits frequently.
But I still think ambode gave up easily without a fight, his descendants should be ashamed of him.

Na so una go dey deceive Yorubas into trouble be that.

The trouble una push MKO enter wey una begin laugh am when hin rot in jail never do ba?

dannytoe:
Unlike Oshiomole, tinubu has foot soldiers on every nook and cranny of Lagos state, I won't be surprised if ambode's wife and children are loyal to tinubu. It will take the combined forces of federal might and the people's determination to ditch APC, for Lagos to be liberated from Tinubu's grip.

A serious and determined federal might will nullify tinubu in lagos...

2015 is a clear pointer..

AMBODE is not obaseki

AMBODE is a coward just like every other Yorubas afonja who is afraid to fight

Every other Yorubas afonja who is afraid of Thief-nubu

Obaseki suffered injustice at the hands of APC goaded on by Oshiomhole. Ambode, elected on the platform of APC jettisoned the party .
