you have a solid point, but with ambode seating on a yearly IGR of over $1bn he can easily buy his way especially if he can get greedy buhari's men to offer federal might

iammo:
that I can't say, but one thing is certain if he pulls out of APC, apc's bloc vote would be shared by him and the APC guy, giving otedola of PDP a fair chance

Cajal:
...hmmmm
Election in Lagos ...is based on political structure not really on personality.
Jimi agbaje was far better than ambode and even more popular in 2015..but lost because of tinubu political structure... Tinubu controls...NURTW....ALL MARKET ASSOCIATION

buharitill2023:
The jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of bia-fra terrorist will not like this.

TundeBricklayer:
Self-deception is the worst kind of deception, Gov Ambode said no rift between him and BAT aka Usu, even BMC crew are confuse on this, some are blaming and insulting Ambode, while some are attacking IPOB for instigating the rift between BAT and Ambo so why is president or some governors trying to intervene when Ambo said all is well

iammo:
, save Ambode? more like save APC's strong hold after kano and its financial southwest capital. should tinubu have his way by forcing his stooge on APC, Ambode can always move to SDP, should ambode create a third political force in Lagos. Otedola would greatly benefit from such division

President Muhammadu Buhari; Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, and Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, have embarked on a last-minute move to save Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, from an impending loss of the state All Progressives Congress ticket for the 2019 governorship election.

There had been reports that Ambode was no longer in the good books of an APC national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, which might endanger his second term bid.

But the tension became palpable on Tuesday when two new aspirants under the APC umbrella – Dr Obafemi Hamzat and Jide Sanwoolu – emerged to vie for the governorship ticket with Ambode in the direct party primary billed to come up in two weeks’ time.

Hamzat and Sanwoolu, former commissioners in the state, were said to have claimed to have Tinubu’s backing.

Ambode was also said to have the APC national leader’s backing when he declared intention to go for a second term on Monday.

However, impeccable sources within the ruling party said on Wednesday that the prominent personalities including the President, the monarch and Ajimobi had stepped in to resolve the crisis, noting that the matter would be resolved.

However, impeccable sources within the ruling party said on Wednesday that the prominent personalities including the President, the monarch and Ajimobi had stepped in to resolve the crisis, noting that the matter would be resolved.

“There are serious moves to end the crisis. Many people, including the President have waded in. And it is not yet too late for the issue to be resolved,” said the source.

“President Buhari, Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State and Oba Rilwan Akiolu are making efforts to ensure that the matter is resolved and Ambode’s second term bid is not terminated,” the source added.

Another source said there was no problem between Ambode and his political father, Tinubu, but the governor was believed to have drawn the ire of party leaders and key supporters when he allegedly sidelined them from his administration.

Reminded that many APC members in the state were of the opinion that Ambode might fail to clinch the APC governorship ticket having been abandoned by the 57 local council chairmen in the state, the source said there was no cause for alarm.

He said the President, who was a father to all the APC members, would resolve the logjam.

Another source said the party elders, who were said to have sponsored Sanwoolu, had decided to open discussion on Ambode after pressure from different quarters.

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has dismissed three officers in the Inspector cadre involved in the "unauthorised" search of the home of Chief Edwin Clark, an elder statesman.

The officers — Inspector Godwin Musa, Inspector Sada Abubakar and Inspector Yabo Paul — were led by ASP David Dominic, who stormed the house of Clark claiming the elder statesman was housing arms and ammunition.

The Police, through its spokesperson, Jimoh Moshood, announced that the inspectors had been dismissed from the force.

Moshood claimed that the Inspector General of the Police, Ibrahim Idris, approved the dismissal of the inspectors.

On Wednesday, the force had paraded one Ismail Yakubu who was said to have given false information that led to the search of Clark's home.

That was hours after the IGP had apologised to Clark for "the misconducts of the said Police personnel and the attendant embarrassment the search has caused on the elder statesman and his family”.

Jaideyone:
I wish someone like sowore or fela durotoye or Donald duke will get the opportunity to lead this country.

those are the promising candidates with ideas that can move us forward. too bad they don't stand a chance against the money bags like atiku and saraki in the party of thieves and poverty dispensers (PDP).

for now sai Baba till 2023

SolutionMee:


All I know is that the youths of this country have made it a habit and conventional practice to be led by the aged.

If not, how will any sensible youth be campaigning for Buhari online

Buhari started ruling Nigeria in his early 30's.

Yet, at 77 he's still ruling Nigeria.

To call the youth of this country an ignoramus creatura is an understatement to those who are ignorant in the Western world.

You guys were nothing but the samples God created during creation.

With that dead panel inside your brain, you may never get it right as a nation.
