“Sir My hands are tied on this matter, I cannot ask those who have picked expression of nomination forms to withdraw or not to contest. That will be greatly unfair. We will ensure a level-playing ground for all governorship aspirants including the incumbent governor”. These are the exacts words of Asiwaju to Pastor E. A. Adeboye during a telephone conversation.”
The recent turn of events in the centre of excellence, Lagos State and its political atmosphere is getting thicker and thicker by the day. Governor Ambode is seeing all hopes of his opportunity to run for the second term as governor in Lagos states get darker.
With Tinubu’s Mandate group which allegedly pushed Ambode to power back in 2015 set to push someone else, Mr Sanwo-Olu Jide, Ambode is definitely going to have a lot to do. There has been various reports of the president and National Leader of The Ruling party, All Progressives Congress calling on Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to see if they can work something out so as to settle the issue at hand and give Ambode a chance to finish his first tenure in peace and also get an opportunity to vie for the second.
Other Than Buhari, Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, Governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi and others have interfered in this case but all efforts still boil down to BAT insisting on letting them all go to the field since its the call of the electorates.
The most recent interference is allegedly coming from a spiritual leader, the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye calling on Tinubu to try and force a peace talk between the two-term Lagos State Governor and husband to the Senator representing Lagos Central at the upper legislative chambers, Mrs Oluremi Tinubu.
Asiwaju was said to have replied baba Adeboye that its not his call to make and in a bid to show the world that he is a full democrat, he is trying to refrain from meddling into the affairs of the party’s gubernatorial candidate for the 2019 General Elections, he stated “Sir people are accusing me of imposition, they say I imposed candidates at will. That is why I said all aspirants, including the Governor to get to the field and test their popularity among the people in an open contest of direct primaries. ”
“Sir My hands are tied on this matter, I cannot ask those who have picked expression of nomination forms to withdraw or not to contest. That will be greatly unfair. We will ensure a level-playing ground for all governorship aspirants including the incumbent governor”. These are the exacts words of Asiwaju to Pastor E. A. Adeboye during a telephone conversation.
