Ambode. |
This is the time in the political space where politician try as
much as they can to impress and make impressions as a former Enugu North
Senatorial Aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Chinedu
Eya, has offered to sell off his Lagos property worth over N53 million to
purchase nomination and expression of interest forms for the embattled Governor
of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, if the governor will heed his calls to
contest 2019 elections under the PDP.
Chief Eya, who is also the National Convener of “Why It Must Be
PDP in 2019” said he was enraged reading from the Punch Newspapers of 21st
September, 2019 where the National leader of the APC, Ahmed Tinubu and the APC
executives were mounting pressure on Governor Ambode to step down from office
and endorse his opponent, Babajide Sanwo-Olu as the Party’s Candidates, while
urging the Governor “to make haste while the sun shines.”
The PDP Chieftain who also noted that the Governor must as a
matter of urgency dump APC for PDP to survive the current political turmoil
rearing to consume him, hinted that his decision to purchase the governor’s
re-election forms in the PDP, using his building as a bait was to help save Ambode
from the gang-up by the the Mandate Movement led by the National Leader of the
APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and The chairmen of the 57 councils in Lagos who have
already concluded plans to dance on the funeral grave of Ambode’s
administration.
Chief Eya said, “Without mincing words, If Ambody accepts the
Olive branch my Party, PDP already extended to him to join us and contest under
our platform, I will sell off my building valued at 53 million naira, to help
him purchase our expression of interest and nomination forms and save him from
National disgrace”
“As a politician, this is a gang-up…if you look at the case
properly, the question is not about Governor Ambode’s performance, but a clear
case of egocentric and egomaniac superiority over the peoples will and
interest.”
He further stated that the governor had nothing to fear about
joining PDP as the Party will be willing to clear the route for him and
possibly form a consensus that will produce him as the Party’s candidate.
Recall that the governor and Tinubu have been in the news in the
past few days because of an alleged rift over the second term bid of Ambode.
Reports also have it that Tinubu had refused to back Ambode’s
second term ambition despite pleas by notable people in the state and the
country while throwing his weight behind Sanwo-Olu, a former commissioner in
the state, who until Sunday formally declared his intention to vie for the
Lagos State governorship ticket of the APC.
