On Sunday, Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode threw down the gauntlet and revealed his frustration at apparently not getting the support of the APC leaders in the state as it regard his second term aspiration.
A visibly agitated Ambode took to the stage on Sunday afternoon to deliver a scathing remark not only against the party establishment in the state but also against the man touted to be his successor.
The Lagos state governor revealed that Jide Sanwo-Olu, the purported replacement for Ambode had spent time in jail and for fraud and has been been to rehabilitation at Gbagada general hospital.
It however suffice that any chance of an amicable resolution to the issue at hand just went down the drain and Nigerians were quick to air their views regarding the matter.
I’m more conservative abt how Ambode was stammering during his speech, I feel for him, nobody deserve to be controlled by an unrepentant godfather…

Once a psychiatric patient is not doom to madness forever. To have misbehaved in the past does not mean you will misbehave for life. Ambode’s press conference made me lose my sympathy for him. @jideS did not deserve such public shame from @AkinwunmiAmbode. #CrazyDemo

Ambode is finally fighting like a man armed with nukes to his teeth. Let’s see how a drug addict and a fake currency doubler will respond to this.Its poetic justice, that the onecqho Jagaban thought would be his stooge will finally be the one to retire him and liberate Lagosians

So in other words, if Ambode doesn’t win the primaries tomorrow, it is likely to jeopardize Buhari’s second term. This should be interesting. pic.twitter.com/feEEzS6qO0

Saraki had issues with APC and he decamped to PDP. Why is Ambode forcing himself on a Party that doesn’t want him? Why not resign and decamp and then contest in another Party? And if you had sense, keep the money you made as a Governor resign and go to Santorini ?
