Buhari, Tinubu & Ambode. |
There
seem to be no reconciliation between the National Leader of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and his former political son
and former Governor of LAGOS State, Akinwunmi Ambode, as the former has come
out to clearly draw the political lines between them with his order to the
President, Muhammadu Buhari not to think, talk-more appoint the former governor
a Minister in his government.
Infact,
information has it that it was when the president came to commission some of
the UNCOMPLETED PROJECTS of the former governor in Lagos as his administration
was winding down, letting political tongues wang, that it became obvious, that the
president would replace former Minister of Power, Housing and Works, another
former governor of Lagos, Babatunde Raji Fashola, with Ambode, in his bid to
spite Tinubu and his political friends in Lagos.
The
Governor emeritus of Lagos State, is not having any of these and had to remove
the hand of the monkey fast, before the gossips turn to reality in his very
presence.
According
to information reaching “Precious Eze’s Blog”, the very bitter Tinubu had to
send words across to the president to ward him against appointing, like he did
Fashola in 2015 against his (Tinubu’s) wish, Akinwunmi Ambode or he will resign
his membership of the APC and leave the party for them.
The
information had it that Tinubu sited how Ambode tried to destroy the party in
Lagos and such a person should not be allowed at the federal level.
Another
thing Bola Tinubu fear most about appointing Ambode Minister, is that such an
appointment will empower him politically and give him a lot of relevance, connections
with people like Nair El’Rufai of Kaduna State and such alliance would see to
the ouster of Tinubu’s political influence across the country.
We
all will stay calm and watch how these play out.
