If you are one of those who believe former governor of Lagos
and APC chieftain Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu has completely taken his hands off
the selection process of who takes over from Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola,
then you must be living in dreamland. This
is because the strong politician is doing
everything possible to make sure that his anointed
becomes the next governor of the state of excellence.
It is on record that the former governor invited the
aspirants to his Boudilon Ikoyi home when top members of the party alleged imposition. At the meeting the Jagaban Borgu told the aspirants that he has no anointed candidate; that all
of them should go and do their home work. Nevertheless, those who should know
reliably informed us that Tinubu is still hell bent on his choice of Akinwunmi
Ambode to take over from BRF
Just as the party and the aspirants are getting set to slug
it out in few days time, Asiwaju seems to have perfected a way to see that his preferred
candidate Akinwunmi Ambode becomes the flag bearer. He was said to have invited
the the state Excos of the party and the ward chairmen to the APC’s Ikorodu Road Lagos office where he passed to them a standing
order that their votes must go to no one but Ambode. These party men were also
said to have collected money from the former governor through his proxy.
However, many of the other aspirants are still very worried
because they have not set their eyes on the delegates ‘list. Tinubu, like we reported
earlier on cityrovers.blogspot.com has perfected a plan that has seen the
delegates being reduced to just 20 local government areas of the state instead
of the 57 local governments that is recognized by the state.
