Following reports that President Muhammadu Buhari is considering the former governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode as a minister in his second term, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state has vowed not to allow the presidency to reward Ambode’s disloyalty.

Herald Nigeria gathered that the position is being fronted by party men loyal to the National Leader of the ruling party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the same group that edged our Ambode in favour of Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Top party chiefs in the Mandate Group accused the ex-governor of frustrating many party members in Lagos State during his tenure and there was, therefore, the need “to teach him a lesson.”
Consequently, the aggrieved party men were said to be making moves to petition the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over Ambode’s alleged financial misappropriation and corruption.

One of the party sources, who spoke to The Punch, said, “Ambode tried to destroy the party in his first term. Apart from not being accessible, he revoked contracts belonging to party members and brought in his own companies. He tried to destroy our chances by trying to undermine Sanwo-Olu at every turn.

“He did not campaign for us. Rather, he was following Buhari all over the place. He should not expect to represent Lagos in any capacity. We will not allow him have any appointment.”
Another source said, “Ambode is from Ondo State and he cannot deny it. Yes, he was governor in Lagos State but the constitution allows that. However, the constitution states clearly that only an indigene of a state can represent that state as far as ministerial appointments are concerned.

“We will ensure that the three senators from Lagos State block his nomination in the event that he is nominated by the President. There must be party discipline.”

The source said a probe of Ambode’s administration would soon commence where the cases of alleged fraud and abuse of office would be exposed.

However, a former aide to Ambode said, “Ambode is already prepared for the worst since they have already humiliated him. Buhari even appealed to them to let Ambode return as governor but they refused. They then tried to impeach him but they failed.

“They should remember that Ambode was a permanent secretary and accountant-general of the state before becoming a governor.

“He knows the secrets of all those making threats. Anybody who is on a mission of revenge could be digging his own grave in the process. I won’t say more than that.”

Lagos Apc abi awon olori pelebe?

What a revelation. You knew he was from Ondo state yet you allowed him to be governor. Now you are saying that he is from Ondo state and cannot represent Lagos as minister. You are wasting your time...Buhari will appoint him as minister, just as Fashola in his quest to continue to weaken Tinubu.

One of the party sources, who spoke to The Punch, said, “Ambode tried to destroy the party in his first term. Apart from not being accessible, he revoked contracts belonging to party members and brought in his own companies.

So even if it means you guys will have only one ministerial position instead of two because he didn't allow you guys steal the state dry??

May God not allow us have this kind jealous and selfish people as kinsmen

Before Nigeria go better e go tey sha. But I know say e go better during my time.

Stupid of clowns.... Federal is not state

Most of them are just annoyed that ambode didn't give them any money from looting during his tenure, now they are bringing different excuses to tarnish his political career.

It will take a lot for ambode to amount to anything in APC, even his godfather jagaban is bent on destroying him.

Have the Lagos APC not humiliated Ambode enough? What is all these nonsense for sef?

If appointed, Ambode wld b one of the best Ministers

Ambode the best Governor in lagos. In his days every body in lagos have equal treatment inrespective of your tribe.

It's like once you fallout with APC they will immediately trace your ancestors to another locality.

Tinubu - osun
Fashola- ogun (I think, not sure)
Ambode - ondo
Sanwo-olu -

Tinubu wont like this development

If buhari say he wants to appoint ambode as a minister , i want to see how the lagos apc would dissaprove of it. If he eventtually appoints ambode as a minister, to me that would be the best thing he has ever done in his life as a president.

Like they stopped fasola

Tinubu zombies will still find a way to defend his decision

I don't see anything wrong with their position. Atleast they are standing by their decision.

What i find puzzling and bizzare are the ethnic bigots that wants ambode to become a minister after claiming he has failed as governor.

How can a man that supposedly failed as governor do better as a federal minister?
Won't his failures become amplified?

Tinubu ass licker amobode will become a minister and there is nothing you and that greedy frog looking ugly bastard can do about it thieftnubu did not support fasola before he became a minister you will still be disgraced together with Tinubu this time around

NIGERIA CAN NEVER BE BETTER "DURING YOUR TIME".NOT THIS GENERATION NOT THR NEXT GENERATION - MAYBE OUR GRANDCHILDREN WILL WITNESS IT BUT NEVER NOW OR IN THE NEXT 50 YEARS

Yorubas hate themselves
or is not because ambode is a Christian?
Yorubas are their own enemies
Yoruba e ronu
others help and pray for their brothers to get to their level while the Yoruba man wants his brothers to be doing "Bambi Allah" for him

Give them Odua republic and watch the country become another South sudan
Yoruba Muslims vs Yoruba Christians
Obas vs other Obas over superiority
Other Yorubas vs Oyo(Oyos are outlandish and mostly illiterates)
Other Yorubas vs Ekiti(ekitis are educated and extremely stubborn) and other things
Odua republic is a disaster waiting to happen




Eh God!!
help your people
