Lagos Monarch Reveals Those Who Stopped Ambode Second Term Bid

Lagos Monarch Reveals Those Who Stopped Ambode Second Term Bid

Oba Abedina Durosimi, the Osolu of Irewe Kingdom in Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos State, has revealed why Akinwunmi Ambode, Governor of Lagos State, didn’t get a second term ticket.

He declared that traditional rulers, not Bola Tinubu, National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), stopped Ambode.

The monarch told The Sun: “Tinubu influences people; he does not force or intimidate people to do his wish. He has regards for traditional institutions in Lagos State.

“For instance, before any law is passed in Lagos State, they must bring it to the council of Obas which I’m a member for our assessment before it is taken to the state House of Assembly and the executive for final approval.

“Tinubu is a team player. He sees Obas as fathers and before he takes any decision that will affect the people, he will consult the traditional rulers.

“For instance, when leaders of his party and other well-meaning Lagosians were against Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s second term bid, Tinubu consulted widely including traditional rulers and we said we didn’t want Ambode to have a second term.

“The people were against Ambode, because he concentrated development in Epe area where he comes from. Ambode undermined the Lagos State master plan. We Obas opposed Ambode’s second bid not Tinubu.”
