Bola Ige made Tinubu governor and not any invincible Baba Eto. Bola Ige fought tooth and nail for Tinubu to win AD Governorship primary, there was no where insight of Baba Eto as at that time.
Again, you got the reason Ambode was denied second term ticket but thankfully it wasn't primarily because of non performance. Meaning, the gang up was due to self Interest of the so called Tinubu's camp. If they had denied him based on non performance, that would have made a lot of sense to many people but it was due to self Interest and no more. This he has power to control as the leader of the political group in Lagos. I remembered that the PMB called Tinubu to AsoRock for the same issue but after meeting with Mr. President, he publicly said that Ambode fate is sealed and there is nothing he can do. Such word shows, he was also part of those conspiring to ourst Ambode. As a leader, his word should have been salty, like 'we will see what we can do to settle all contending issue' or something closer to that.
Ironically, they almost done same to Fashola but people revolted and that did not gel.

Igbos should not make lagos there problem as south east is under mess and we all know lagos is progressing....deep down u wish there was a strong political force like tinubu in south east....u and ur ppl have turned to third fiddle in your own country bcoz u have refused to have brain and have nothing to offer but hate

Cryofigbos:

Your region is under develope yet u r more concern about lagos that is far ahead of all south east states combined

Any movement they are making to save Nigeria should be to tell northerners and Tinubu urchins to allow Igbos take the presidency in 2023.

That is what is just, fair and equitable.

Anything less than that, then they are wasting their time.

I will repeat what I always say, the problem with people like us is what we like to criticize and complain but we do not get involved with the process. Like it or not, those who are involved in the political process will continue to dictate to people like us and nothing will happen. Do you think all the governors that have held sway in Lagos cannot tackle traffic? They can but they won’t because the fate of the governors lies in the hands of the NURTW because they are the ones involved at the grassroots level. All politics is local, power comes from the people et etc but only the people who participate.

The bottom line is the power base of our politicians come from those who are involved in politics. Every successful politician knows who and who are his real power base and who and who are noise makers. When people like us start to organize ourselves into pressure groups like the NURTW etc and get involved in politics at the grassroots level, then we can start to dictate to politicians and they will have no choice but to listen to us. Until then we will Just make noise on Nairaland, Twitter , channels and the people with the real power base, the taxi drivers, the market women, the farmers because they are the ones who actually make up the party, will continue to be the people the politicians listen to.

You just brought in another issue that wasn't part of the issue raised against him. The key contention was this waste disposal that he brought foreigners to manage and that doesn't go down well with them because that was their main stake of getting money. Just the same way, if he has contracted the Lagos Tax Collection to foreigners or other company, he would have been impeached even more earlier. This is what has been drawing us backward as a nation, the destiny of a state or country should not be at the mercy of a person or group. Ambode coming in to change the narrative pelt him against the power brokers not the regular electorates that he delivered to them the dividend of democracy he promised.
Meanwhile, he never had problem with NURTW, it was just this Waste disposal Issue that he withdrew from their reach.

Bola Ige may have helped him but it was Baba Eto! or let me rephrase that, Baba eto is a Cele priest, he is actually from Ogun state, he was one of MKO's key men during his campaign. He was the one who told Tinubu during a religious crusade that he had a vision he would be the next governor of lagos, at that time apparently Tinubu did not plan to run for governor, probably senate. it was due to Baba Eto's prophesy that Tinubu entered the race......hence his influence on Tinubu till today.

IfnobeGod20:

The above statement now made a lot of sense than the former.

But this is what i am saying the reason they have no choice is these are the only organised groups that are politically active. We the so called educated ones dont get involved until it is time to vote!!! By which time these groups have dictated who the contestants are. So when they get to power they have no choice but to play the tune of those who pay the piper.

i ahve been saying it for the last 2 weeks people are shouting Osinbajo osinbajo for example, the people that are shouting osinbajo are they registered members of APC, are they in control or have any influence on the delegates that will vote for the candidate?

It is not by making an igbo man the president that would solve the problems in Nigeria, it is by electing a selfless leader who will turn things around.
We don't care what tribe the person is coming from.
