Dele Alake: Ambode Lost His Primary Election, Tinubu Had No Hand In It by Yoruba1stson: 8:02am On Aug 29, 2022
Dele Alake, the director of media and communications of the presidential campaign council of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has reacted to a claim that his princiapal denied Akinwunmi Ambode a second term as governor of Lagos.

During a Twitter Space organised by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (ABAT) Media Centre, on Sunday, August 28, Alake made it clear that Tinubu did not reject Ambode contrary to popular suspicion, Daily Trust reports.

Alake said Ambode only lost to Sanwo-Olu at the primary

The former commissioner for information and strategy in Lagos noted that Ambode was only defeated at the primary by his successor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and that this was decided by votes, not by Tinubu.

Alake explained that while Ambode might have had some flaws and made wrong move at one point or the other, it was not Tinubu's responsibility to choose who governs Lagos, even if he has the right to support a preferred candidate.
He said:
“In a political competition, there must be supporters here and there. Yes, Fashola’s successor (Ambode) came into office, he was supported by Asiwaju as Asiwaju supported
Fashola. But let me use this opportunity to clear one point, a misconception that Ambode wasn’t given a second term. It is not true.

“The governorship mandate is not for Asiwaju to give or take. It is for the people of Lagos State to give or to take or withdraw. Ambode was in office, for whatever reason he might have committed, of course he did commit gaps and faux pas but he also went through election.
Maybe people have forgotten or they have selective amnesia, Ambode went through the political process and lost.

“Asiwaju did not take the ticket from him. He contested the primaries with Babajide Sanwo-Olu and lost. The primary was conducted in the open all over the state and the media covered it and it was shown everywhere. Why do people always succumb to such partisanship occasioned by blind prejudices.

“Yes it was Asiwaju’s right to support any candidate or aspirant, it is a natural phenomenon.”

Lol, an incumbent lost a primary without even getting up to 50 votes or so and you say the godfather doesn't have anything to do with it. Even the his deputy didn't vote for him in the primaries, did Ambode perform that bad to warrant such fate

Tinubu will lost Presidential election and Nigerian youths will see to that.

The youth demography want an agile person to lead them not someone falling inside his agbada.

Tinubu will suffer 600 years for what he did to Ambode

Everyone knows this.

It was Lagos APC who didn't support him because he was deviating from the blueprint. Tinubu actually supported him.

Look today, Sanwo Olu has almost completed the mass transit which Ambode abandoned. Meanwhile, I checked the revenue growth under Ambode, and it was lower.. Sanwo has been doing great tbh. The best governor in the country presently.. This doesn't mean Ambode didn't try his best..


Meanwhile, the perpetual hatefilled Ipob miscreantt that are wailing today were the ones who were championing Agbaje at the expense of Ambode whom Tinubu brought forward in the first place. The audacity.


Anyway, if you want Lagos change (and not Anambra change or Adamawa change) at the federal level, Tinubu is your man. The most progressive liberal leader ever.

Truth be say Ambode Gan f up. One reason APC remains the party to beat in Lagos iis because of the reward culture. E get small small jobs and contracts wey party members dey enjoy as benefits. Imagine taking these jobs off them and the people you give them to didn't even deliver. Tinubu's hands were tied and he had to follow the dictates of the party members

Aha another one!

You can’t promote anything relating to foolish APC party without looking stupid.

How can they all brag about Tinubu been the master architect of Lagos, bringing in successful successors as they claim and now send this one to tell us that he now has no hands in Ambode loss!

I no understand this kind hypocrisy?

This one (Eleyi) should make up his mind about Thiefnuibu being responsible for everything in Lagos since 1999, rather than being selective about what he is responsible for even to Osun state.
