There are several factors you have ignored.Lets put them in perspective.
You must compare the political depth of Wike and Tinubu? They aren't in the same class at all.I am not a Tinubu supporter but you will agree with me that Tinubu had started playing politics since the days of Nadeco.Wike is just a Jonathan boy that had providence worked for him in PDP to rise as the governor.
Lagos state is different from Rivers in terms of culture inclination.The Yoruba are the most dominant tribe there.One obvious feature of their culture is respect for elders and their opinions especially those with influences.The reverse is the case in Rivers.You can't enjoy that loyalty for a long time because the culture impliedly supports autonomous existence in the circle of community .
The timing of their adminstration .Ambode has exhausted almost 80 percent of his time which his results worked against him.He literally stopped LAWMA and brought a private waste management firm which made Lagos more dirty.He brought the land use charge which will increase house rent.Fubara just resumed office and he is enjoying some emotional backings hinge on Wikes seemingly overbearing political godfather activities.This will work for Fubara and he needs to sustain it by being very productive in his governance agenda.
Tinubu structure is more stronger than what Wike has best the culture supports it.The Agbero system in Lagos is under the effective control of Tinubu.They became the delegates for the state primaries which ousted Ambode .
In conclusion, it's very important to assemble the above facts to understand why it's was very very difficult for Ambode to do the same Fubara is doing.
Good observation.
Many Nairalanders think political tactics, especially in Nigeria, are plug and play.
