THE MD/CEO LAGOS HAS SPOKEN! Lagosians react as plot to impeach Governor Ambode thickens
Following reports of a plot to impeach Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State, Lagosians and other Nigerians have taken to social media to express their feelings.
The plot has been blamed on the National leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is reportedly in a rift with Ambode.
WuzupNaija, while quoting TheCable, had on Tuesday reported that 57 council chairmen had thrown their weight behind Tinubu’s candidate, Mr. Jide Sanwo-Olu. A move which portends bad omen for Ambode’s re-election bid, as the APC as adopted the direct primary system.

Reacting to the plot, Lagosians have expressed divergent views on social media with many calling on a break in the hold Tinubu supposedly have over Lagos politics.

Ambode had the opportunity to build on what Fashola did. Instead, he went on a witch hunt of “everything BRF” from suspected human agents to supposed BRF legacy projects. In the process, he turned simple solutions to complex problems. Ever coming, never arriving. Time for Change?

Many APC loyalists in Lagos won’t be happy with the change of Ambode but they dare not go against the wish of the MD/CEO Lagos Limited. Joining politics/political parties should be an avenue to express yourself towards good governance & not to be colonised by someone for bread.

Ambode is not a big game player like fashola. He has lost charge of his locker room and state assembly. Tinubu boys will really intimidate him in Lagos. He needs to leave APC and establish his dominance. @akaebube

It appalling to see people tweeting nonsense about Governor Ambode.

Now you can see Ambode is thrash compare to Fashola’s performance. I hope you don’t change stance when Tinubu changes his mind.

“Ambode studied accounting but can not account for what he has done in Lagos for four years”.
Lmao

Just wondering what Ambode did to Tinubu to deserve this objection ? like why to a man who at least tried?,why not to Buhari??

Is Tinubu the owner of Lagos State?
He gave Fashola
He gave Ambode
He is now giving Babajide SanyaOlu!His wife a senator
His Daughter, Iya loja of Lagos.He is richer than Osun State courtesy of Lagos Revenue.

You only need to look at the state of inner city roads and constant floods to conclude that Ambode hasn’t exactly set the nation’s economic capital alight. He may well ride the storm and survive, but he’s been a downgrade 4rm Fashola’s purposeful years

One thing I admire about the Children of the Jagaban is their blind, unquestioning loyalty. From the elite to the lowest of the low, their loyalty is absolute.
Turn left. They turn.
Turn right. They turn.
Praise Ambode. They praise.
Kick Ambode out. They kick.
I stan. ??? https://t.co/jMBKDebp6N
