Maybe his wife gave him a mind blowing service in the other room that made him feel invincible superman. He ended up being a underBat.
What a miserable miscalculation of the owner of Lagos and Lagosians

Maobichek:
I encourage you to stop castigating all Yorubas, it will not help you, Yoruba is the only tribe in Nigeria where blood brothers can belong to the two major religion and still eat from the same plate. it is hate to insinuate that Yorubas are under mental slavery. Oyo is PDP if you see APC as enslaving the people of Yoruba, it means that Imo state is under mental slavery, thank you.

lol.. but no condition is permanent

Carmal90:
Yes sir, from my own understanding, tinubu is fast losing his grip even in Lagos State, in 2015 pdp had four reps, even in 2019, with all the manouvering, they still have two...
So a determined federal might will be able to neutralize his known weapons....

I agreed, he won in 2007 because he was so popular then.

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

Ambode did what was best for him as of them. He contested the primary but never made it. It is as simple as that. I could remember what IYC told Jonathan he was being asked not to contest. They told him not contesting at all was an act of cowardice alien to the Ijaw people. According to them they would prefer he contested and failed than backing out with no fight.
If Ambode had defected to PDP his chances of winning was blurred. He might even be impeached before the election date. If he had done that he would have been in prison now or close to it.

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.

ode Emancipate yourself you slave

Larryhoover:
Another point was that Ambode ran a one man show and he was not a people person and neither a grassroot politician. He felt being loyal to Tinubu alone could save him without the party members. Truth be told, Ambode orchestrated his own predicament, even though Tinubu could have saved his ass but a lot of bad blood had developed with party chieftains prior to the elections. The irony is that if Tinubu had continue to support Ambode then, Tinubu's influence might have been revolted against and probably giving Jimi Agbaje a better opportunity during the last election as alot of people would prefer Jimi to Ambode then. Hence the need to bring in Sanwo Olu into the game. The same revolution against Ambode was done to Gbenga Ashafa, despite being a Tinubu boy, he lost Lagos East to Peperito that passed on recently due to Covid complications.

The same thing could have happened to Fashola in 2011 but when Tinubu saw the body language of the people, he had to align or else ACN would have lost Lagos to PDP then as PDP was ready to give Fashola an open platform should he be out of ACN.

In a nutshell, the saving grace for Obaseki was that he was a people person and got empathy after disqualification from APC which Ambode didn't enjoy.

However, I think the race for 2023 has begun and Edo election seems to be the Beginning.

majamajic:
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

murmee:
My dear, Obaseki knew he had the backing of those that really matter in APC. That was the source of his courage and nothing more!

Muna4real:
Lagosians did not support Ambode and that's the truth. If lagosians were serious about breaking free from the shackles of godfatherism, the elections outcome would have been different but instead, they were loyal to tinubu. Forget about tinubu's influence on lagos politics, lagosians were not serious.

Actually l disagree, Obaseki had foresight and realised very early on, that Osho wanted him to become a glorified " house boy " Governor.

First battle Obaseki had was to neutralise the influence of Osho in the state house of assembly. Ambode sat down and buried his head in the sand.

When you see the smoke you know their is FIRE coming.

Next thing Obaseki reduced the influence of Osho over all the LGA chairman, Ambode did nothing.

Ambode is the Governor, if you don't have a political power base, then you simply CREATE ONE. He once again did nothing, it's simple board room politics.

A leopard doesn't change its spots, eating with a Lion does mean he will not eventually eat you when the time is right.

MC Oloumo is the equivalent of Tony Kabaka, Obaseki effective clipped his wings and rendered him impotent. Unfortunately Ambode does not seem to have any.

Believe, there is a lot that can be done to render the Jagaban impotent.

But you must have Liver, Heart and Kidney a good dose of forward strategic planning and foresight.

Finally, at the end of the day it's a democracy, " be man of the People " power lies with the people make sure they are on your side.

I have never seen a victory of a Governor celebrated so much like this by the people of Edo.

The people won and so did Godwin.
