2019: Truly, We Have Been Instructed To Work Against Ambode - Lagos LG Boss Opens Up Akinwumi Ambode

The speculation that all is not well between the national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Akinwumi Ambode is becoming more factual as the chairman of a Local Council Development Authority, LCDA, in Lagos, yesterday confirmed they have been instructed to commence mobilizing grassroots support for Sanwo-Olu’s aspiration, report according to Vanguard says

According to Vanguard, the local government boss said: “We operate as a family in Lagos, and we obey our leaders.

There is already an order that we should commence marketing Sanwo-Olu to the grassroots where power belongs. Before now, the Ambode re-election campaign had not commenced fully, but the latest development means that we are not going to work for him.

As loyal representatives of the people, who subscribe to the leadership style of our leader, we will not act contrary to the order. By this time next week, the Sanwo-Olu campaign will commence at the various councils ahead of the primaries.”

However, Ambode was basking in the support of at least four local government chairmen in his Epe axis in the state according to a press statement issued by the governor’s spokesman, Mr. Habib Haruna.

The local government bosses he said had endorsed Ambode were Adedoyin Adesanya, Chairman of Epe Local Government Area; Saliu Adeniyi, Chairman of Eredo LCDA; Samson Onanuga, Chairman of Ikosi-Ejirin LCDA; and Kehinde Adeniyi, party Chairman in Epe Local Government.

Nevertheless, there were still calls for caution from within Tinubu’s camp as some were also drawing the attention of the political leader to the possibility of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP exploiting the situation to win over the state.

Meanwhile, the calls for caution on the combatants was against the background of signals of still unsettled issues that arose from previous internal party nomination exercises.

“Don’t forget that many people are still unhappy because past promises of compensation for loyalty to the party are yet to be settled. These people can go anyway so if this is God’s way of containing Asiwaju you can never tell,” one senior party official told Vanguard on the condition of anonymity yesterday.
