slivertongue:
they will both lose PDP due to d 'Turaki effect'

TylerDurden:
In an earlier thread https://www.nairaland.com/4768104/tinubu-flexing-muscles-over-ambode#71757614 I categorically stated that Tinubu's main grouse with Ambode and why he(Tinubu) wants Ambode out of Alausa is because Ambode was getting too close to Buhari and that Ambode may be given the sole credit of delivering Lagos to Buhari in the coming presidential elections.

Tinubu is not comfortable with anybody usurping his dominance of Lagos Politics and an Ambode parleying up with Buhari may affect whatever commendations and settlements he is planning to demand after they rig Buhari back into Aso Rock.

Tinubu has lost a lot of political clout within the restricted frog ponds of the SW since Buhari assumed power and this has been attributed directly to Buhari pruning Tinubu's feathers. Buhari has always backed a candidate that was contesting against that of Tinubu's. We saw this in Ondo and Ekiti. It was only in Osun that Buhari allowed Tinubu to have his way among the radical Muslim Yorubas whom Buhari knows will still vote for him over religious sentiments even if they were starving to death.

With Tinubu incessant of having his way with Ambode not getting the ticket despite all overtures from Aso Rock, one thing is clear and that is that Tinubu has shown that he must have Lagos directly under his control. This to me is a sign of weakness as Buhari will go for what Tinubu desires and cherrish most. Take Lagos away from Tinubu and watch both his political and financial power diminish.

I am very certain that Buhari will support another candidate from another Party (but definitely not PDP) to clinch Lagos. And I am also certain that Ambode throwing in the towel is a sign that he has already put arrangements in order to contest his seat on another platform with the backing of Abuja.

The order of elections with the Presidential polls coming first before that of the gubernatorial is also not in Tinubu's favor but to Ambode and Buhari's as well.

Tinubu will foolishly support and help rig Buhari back to power in Lagos only for Ambode to win at the polls to retain his seat.

Tinubu is already set to make another big fool out of himself.

Now that Ambode has shown that he is not so useless and desperate to the extent of decamping to Saraki slaves (biafrany) party to become Governor,can they now conduct their yeye primary or are they waiting for any aggrieved APC councilorship aspirant to decamp

tuniski:
Stop this baseless accusation.
