People that call Ambode coward today were the same people that supported and hailed El Rufai when he said he knows how to remove godfather in Lagos. But when Rufai recently opened his cancerous mouth to say 2023 will go to SW these people blasted him and called him all names.

Their true enemy is Tinubu. Any that refuses to oppose Tinubu is in their black book. Anyone that blasts Tinubu is in their good book.

I look all around Nigeria, my people are in every state. Igbo has been in Northern Nigeria much much earlier before we knew Western Nigeria. Yet there has not been any single record of an Igbo man being elected into political office or even nominated into a cabinet in North. In Lagos on the other hand we have continued to enjoy the benefits of democracy under same Tinubu, and our losses in some areas is result of our own irresponsibility and not because the system or Lagos godfather hates us.

If godfatherism in Lagos has benefited us in the most wealthy and most economically advanced state in West Africa, doesnt it make sense to support what advances our entrepreneurship and political ascent? I was born in Lagos and in the Igbo circle in Lagos, there are people who are fed up and disgusted with our style of political culture. I support them and im in that mold myself.

There is no president of Nigeria who has been as democratic and favorable to Igbo as Obasanjo did. Obasanjo is a godfather. Obasanjo made people like NOI, Soludo, Ihejirika, Ekwezisili and many more. Yet we are the loudest anti-godfatherism.

Even in North, where we have never gained any political benefit but have suffered the greatest social and cultural calamity, nobody even becomes a commissioner without godfatherism. My people love Kwankwaso but forget the man is a godfather. We love Atiku but forget Atiku is a godfather.

So my brother, those hating on Ambode are venting that he failed to fight against Tinubu when he had the chance. Obasanjo fought Tinubu, yet we still hate Obasanjo. The same Obaseki we are hailing, he went to Lagos to seek godfather support. He didnt get it. Akeredolu in Ondo, our inlaw, he fought Tinubu to become governor but has returned to Tinubu and godfather to seek reelection.

No Igboman living can swear on his chi and claim godfatherism in Yoruba people, particularly Obasanjo and Tinubu has not earned us advancement in Yprubaland and in Nigeria generally.

I want my people to know that the example of our progress and inclusion in Lagos and Yorubaland is a model that the Hausa/Fulani has copied and used to integrate our brothers in North. When was last time we hear of riot against Igbo in North? They have seen how our inclusion in Yorubaland pays off economically and they are modelling that to improve their local economy as well.

Godfatherism helps Igbo business and politics. My people should open their eyes and learn. Let Edo carry their load and fight Tinubu themselves. Edo no be Lagos no concern us. Lagos na our bread and butter, we must not ruin it. End to godfatherism will destroy business for us, let us condemn those that oppose godfatherism in Lagos.

Our leaders in Lagos have seen the light and theyve been drumming the beat, if you cant beat Tinubu in Lagos, join Tinubu to bring dividends of godfatherism to Igbo commerce and politics.

Share this.

Nailed. This is a known fact

Currently being called already

Kiezodumah:
U are not totally right and wrong too. Had ambode finished 2 terms, even fashola won't come close in terms of performance let alone tinubu.
The political structures are different ,very true but in politics u need to grow some balls when it matters most and show the opposition that u have got what it takes to swing the tide.
You think people are not tired Tinubu and' godfatherism' in lagos, including those in his camp ? Hope u are not alien on the recent betrayal in jagabans camp involving aregbesola ?? Many people are waiting for that candidate popular enough try and @ least change the of narrative .
To many, ambode was that person but he lacked the guts.. If obaseki hadn't tried same would av been his fate.
Life's lesson : anything is possible, the only thing u need to do is TRY.

You all don't know Ambode put a fight since assumption of his office. This is why he wasn't supported for reelection.
Can you explain why he is the only Governor who stays in Government house at Ikeja as Against Marina?
He overhauled all the programs of his predecessors and replaced with his.

The more you look, the less you see. If Obaseki were to be in his shoe, he would be fvcked than him.
AMBODE IS NOT A COWARD

Crenzywilliams:
UI already came out to say he actually graduated, if he and UI decided not to say the criterion for which he's admitted, its their business. But that's not an issue in a competent and unbiased court of law.

Even when he was admitted in that seventies, having one of English or maths (Even with 'P' grade) is a compulsion.

aghap51:
And you think he is not wise for him to have presented his O level for PDP screening

He shot himself in leg, he presented his degree

abimic:
Which of his results do you need clarifications on?

His degree, the one he presented

Jack005:
But I thought you had already congratulated him before whilst hoping he comes back to Apc. What now changed?

Very well I did.
But this is Politics, it's about what could happen. What Happened in bayelsa is still fresh in memory

Judolisco:
he has sorted out any issue with his results already

Not with how he was admitted with 3 credits, no English and math

NLSOFT:
He has no case with his result..

He graduated and with for NYSC, let stop the bitter politiking

And be humane for once

He has. Tell us rationale behind him getting admitted into UI with 3 credits without math and English. He once said he used HNC which he couldn't provide.

UI has a serious case to answer, I'm sure you know how this will affect Obaseki

NaijaRoyalty:
You're shameless

You'll be shocked. I was just told Shaibu also have a coma in his certificate.

garfield1:
Yes,esp shuaibu

For real? Dunno about Shaibu's. Can you explain Lil bit

SLAP44:
We cannot tolerate any attempted attempt to rig this free and fair election.

What's free and fair? In Egor LGA, you no what PDP did?

IgbalodeRaymond:
have you shouted torgba today?

Torwagba. 4+few months.

He should enjoy the momentary victory, HE HAS CASE TO ANSWER (UI AND HIMSELF)

bakila:
Because of the NURTW advantage? Abi unna don write result?

Edo and Ondo factor aren't thesame. The moment Agboola dumped PDP for labor, OUR FEAR BECAME EASE.

PDP votes is divided already. That's what happened to APC in Edo

My guy be no dey online again .
We love you bro, u ain't a bastard

bakila:
Do not be too sure.

I'm 100% sure, not 99%

Obaseki had a case to answer considering his result already

Modified
You all quoting me should explain the rationale behind someone getting admitted into university with 3 credits, no English and mathematics but with unable to provide HNC certificate.

UI have a case to answer regarding this and it'll affect his incumbency has he submitted his degree certificate.

Alas, I was just told Shaibu isn't left out in certificate saga.

YOU ALL REJOICE WHEN IT HAPPENED IN BAYELSA, let see how this plays out

Bhol28:
the fact is that even his new party Pdp have challenged his results before

Exactly! We're not gullible

I wonder how someone will be wicked enough to even inflict machete cut on fellow human not to talk of killing.


Demons everywhere

colorsofrainbow:
FAKE news!
Inec is seriously rigging in favour of APC right now in Kano state.Ize-Iyamu is leading Kogi state.The result will be announced by Tinubu in Lagos state.Supreme court governor will uphold Ize-Iyamu's victory in IMO state
Zombies una welldone oo

Nonsense people

We'll Soon make jest of you by October in Ondo

Maobichek:
. Do you know that APC disgraced Obaseki? if Obaseki loss this election, will APC accept him back? Both Obaseki and POI are the same because they switched parties but I did a thorough research on this Edo election, even those who hate Obaseki supported him out of pity and Osho Baba after calling POI names in 2016 came back and ate his words. This election is purely APC vs APC, thank you.

Apt. Some APC leaders still supported and campaigned openly for Obaseki

na2016:
That's not a case. In as much as UI confirms the degree is authentic. In times past, people used to run remedial programs to gain admission to Universities.
Personally, I feel this man certificate is authentic. I think PMB didnt influence anything for his party cos of Oshiomole's antecedent in the party.

He shot himself in the leg by claiming to use HNC certificate which he couldn't provide.

Himself and UI will be the respondents

animides:
Really! Igbo?
How did Ambode government favor the Igbos.

Not in that aspect. The support ANYTHING against Tinubu. Besides they're also PDP sympathizers everywhere

samwillyco1:
Election no be school Admission, you will be judged based on the results you presented to your party and INEC

Yes, he presented a degree which he got with 3credits, no math and English. UI and himself will have case to answer. FACT

animides:
Well, if you reside in Lagos you would know Lagosians fancied Ambode more and would have turned out massive to support him.

Lagosian? You mean Igbo (PDP apologists) who're mainly not voters? You've forgotten how dirty Lagos was during his tenure?

lomprico:
UI admitted he finished from there, he dint forge anything and besides the minimum requirement for becoming a Governor or president is ssce weather u pass or fail.

apc don't have a case there at all!

UI and himself will explain how he was admitted with 3credits, no English and math.
He submitted his degree not SSCE, so he has a case to answer

YoungDaNaval:
The power of incumbency bro

It doesn't work in Lagos

animides:
I would look pass your misguided statement of me being uninformed.
But I guess you never followed it because you would have known that PDP deliberately postponed their Lagos primaries till after APC's with hope that if Ambode loses he would defect, which if he had done would Prolly earn him an automatic ticket.
Best Regards

Getting PDP ticket isn't the issue, How will he win is.

lomprico:
that issue has been resolved na, nysc admitted they made the mistake. but e fit follow for apc plan E o! who knows?

ibuildstuff:
Something he has rectify since.

He'll tell the court how he managed to get admitted into university with 3credits(no math and English) with his unable to found HNC certificate.

lomprico:
apc get plans o!

plan A- rig their way to victory using thugs were opposition isnt much eg Lagos.

plan B - use police, army n dss to rig to victory where they have strong opposition eg kogi

plan C - when the result are not favourable to them and they know they will loose, they use inec to declare it 'inconclusive' and they finish the work later eg Osun and Kano

plan D - When all the above plan fails and another party wins, the use one supreme court sharia judge to turn 4th position to 1st eg Imo

so my Edo people don't rejoice too early.

APC get plans o!

You reminded me.


POI will eventually be sworn in as Governor.
Obaseki has certificate coma

animides:
They would have killed Ambode if he had contested under PDP because he would definitely win,same thing they did to Funsho Williams.

How will he win? Koro and Jimi are not vibrant enough right?
you're uninformed
