Ugosample:


Good governors you say??

His own government was terrible

Fashola's govt was just above average (by Nigerian standard sef )

And Ambode is a below average governor


let's face the truth

Is it not the same Lagos I know?

And let's look ar the other governors he foisted elsewhere

most of them are useless.


This country as a whole needs help

AZeD1:

Ambode was a local government worker all his life.

OwoLee:


I expect nothing good from someone who's nursing hatred...Well, the truth is tinubu is relevant because he has supported good candidates at the expense of his close allies who he doesn't trust. All the people that were governor weren't any of his family members. They were people who have worked in Lagos state government and very active.
He's a fatherly figure and pioneer to the formation of the party at the center today, so he's to respected.
Tinubu wishes always allign with the people that's why people keep voting his candidates, our votes count. enough of unnecessary hatred on the man.

lexy2014:
is that y he isn't a technocrat?

deomelo:



Stop bothering me with your technocrat argument, if you think he is, more power to you.

Of what relevance is your technocrat headache? It made him a great or failed governor?

Find something better to argue over..

New Lagos Governor Ambode Incompetent - The Economist


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.

Lagos is a hub for investors in Africa—it is a bigger economy in its own right than most countries on the continent, so this is of serious concern. 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, LASTMA, whose bribe-hungry officers flagged down offending drivers.

His successor, Akinwunmi Ambode, is full of excuses, but few solutions, for the worsening gridlock. Traffic is always bad during the rains, he says. Nigerians are migrating to Lagos en masse in search of work in a worsening economy, his office adds. Yet the root of the problem is in policy: Mr Ambode cut the powers of traffic controllers by banning them from impounding cars. In retaliation, officers have refused to enforce the rules.


Reform in a culture riddled with corruption is never easy. Mr Ambode’s office says the measure was intended to create a more “civil society”. Less fastidious types think it amounts to weakness, and would prefer that he focused on public transport instead. The biggest concern is that the gridlock is a sign of a breakdown in relations between security forces, government agencies and the new governor. If that is the case, there could be worse to come. That is bad news not only for Lagosians, but all Nigerians too.

deomelo:




Fashola was not only a lawyer, he was Tinubu's chief of staff, he practically managed Tinubu's administration and the whole state in general.


Fashola with others within Tinubu's administration developed the state's master plan, the same master plan the useless and incompetent Ambode is destroying.


You Igbos love to run your ignorant mouth about Lagos, but you know nothing about Lagos state.

Thanks so much, a least I can read some unbiased stuffs online about Ambode saga.

I don't like quoting ppl especially on nairaland because this forum has bcom so bastardised with childish utterances and behaviours.
I am tempted to quote u and state my observation. Y can't u make ur points without being personal and insulting?
A guy above asked u who is a technocrat nd u dd answer.
Being technocrate has nothing to do with ones course of study at d university.
Here is the simple definition of the term:
'technical expert, especially one in a managerial or administrative position'
Little most matured guys that I know hardly comment on nairaland

lexy2014:
is that y he isn't a technocrat? Who exactly is a technocrat?

AZeD1:


A technocrat is a scientist, engineer, or other expert who is one of a group of similar people who have political power as well as technical knowledge.

Definition from Cambridge Dictionary.


So is Ambode a Technocrat?

Please what was his sin?

Sometimes we need to think deep.

Godfatherism is everywhere but let's face It, Tinubu has managed to present good governors to Lagosians and I mean real technocrat whilst he maintains the political structure making it a win-win situation.

deomelo:
Fashola's largest budget was less than N500 billion

Ambode's budget is N1 trillion

This thread with Fashola's achievements in his first term defines ambode's incompetence and it's sad and heartbreaking.

A technocrat is a scientist, engineer, or other expert who is one of a group of similar people who have political power as well as technical knowledge.

What have the people felt except hunger and poverty despite the trillions and trillions in budget?
The stealing and corruption under Buhari and APC is unprecedented in our country.

Yes, Ambode decided to chart his own path and not be subjected to the whims and caprices of the so-called state leaders like Banire and Fashola. After all, he's an elected exec governor, not their boy, and deserves his own respect too.

Yes, Ambode is not perfect, but neutrals know he's sincere, broad-minded (can't really say so of Fashola) and focused on his own vision (not Banire's or Fashola's unsolicited blueprint).

But you know the real issues why all the sudden noise about Sanwo-Olu (a man from the 'system' according to Banire)? It's the PSP. operators. They are actually not private enterpreneurs. They are members of the Mandate Group Fashola compensated with a regular flow of massive income through the PSP-Lawma arrangement.

So when Ambode decided to modernize waste mgt as it's done in Western country (He didn't get it right initially, but would eventually after all the teething problems), they revolted. How can Ambode remove their source of monthly multi million income generation?

Forget all the yadayada about potholes, bridge and blah, blah. They are all smokescreen. The real issues are the PSP operators who are the APC delegate/foot soldiers and members of the Mandate Group (some of them are here on Nairaland. I suspect deomelo is one).

They've got assurance from Sanwo-Olu that he will restore back their honey pot and continue with Fashola's policies. And Tinubu doesn't want to go against them as they're his subjects he relies on to continue his political relevance in Lagos.

THIS IS THE SUMMARY. DON'T BE CARRIED AWAY BY SMOKE.
