Who Is Ambode!!! Hawkers Seen Hawking In Lagos / See Why INEC's Decision About Kogi Poll Is Very Wrong / Lagos State In Trouble... What Is Ambode Doing (2) (3) (4)
Poll: Is Ambode Performing? by presharthur(m): 2:59pm On Feb 02, 2016 |
Source: Skyevibes.com At the inception of his administration, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode was roundly criticized as lacking the capacity to administer Lagos. The criticism of the governor was so stringent that his administration had to come in the defense of his policies. READ ALSO : Is Ambode in control of Lagos? But the criticism became intense and scathing when the state came under the violent grip of violent armed robbery and carjacking. On a daily basis, there were reports of armed gangs attacking innocent residents. Motorists were also daily mugged and their belongings snatched from them. In a publication that was widely debated, the influential London magazine The Economist, known for its hard-hitting analyses on issues of global importance, had blamed Ambode, for the worsening traffic and escalating crime in the city describing him as “less competent”, “weak” and “full of excuses.” In its 2015 November edition, the magazine, which described Lagos as being “ among the most notoriously congested places in the world” blamed Mr. Ambode for managing to roll back some of the successes scored by his predecessor, Babatunde Fashola, in managing the ordinarily chaotic traffic in the metropolis. “Yet the gridlock that Lagosians have suffered in recent weeks is noteworthy even by the city’s horrendous standards. Rush hours have lengthened, and vehicles back up at unusual hours along the bridges linking the mainland with an island business district. Safety concerns are mounting as armed robbers pillage stuck cars while police are far away. Security experts reckon this is symptomatic of a broader increase in organised crime under a new and less competent state government,” the magazine had observed. The Economist had also remarked that: “The state’s former governor, Babatunde Fashola, who left office after elections in March, was lauded for improving traffic and security. He curbed dangerous motorbike taxis and brought local “area boys” (street children), under control.Cars were terrified into order by a state traffic agency, Lagos State Traffic Management Agency whose bribe-hungry officers flagged down offending drivers,” The Economist further stated that instead of tackling the problem head on, Mr Ambode has been blaming the rain and a gang up by officials of LASTMA for the worsening traffic”. Ambode has started operation lit Lagos Has Ambode woken up? But that was three months ago. After the lull that heralded his first six months, it seemed the governor, who was accused to be a party freak has found his rhythm. Is it the criticism that spurred him on? The governor now seems to be firing on all cylinders.

The roads are being rehabilitated. Lagosians are commending the governor for having risen to the challenges of the initial inertia. Going by recent happening in the state, has Ambode started performing? Let us know what you think. see all tragidic photo of this post @ http://skyevibes.com/2016/02/02/poll-is-ambode-performing/ |

Thats he power of criticism and citizens voicing out. A lot of those who yelled that he was not working in the first months actually voted him and will still have voted him but if something goes wrong, you must complain. I guess he was finding his rhythm and he has finally found it and moving very fast. In the class of May 2015, he stands as the best right now and even beating El Rufai 1 Like |
