Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the National
Leader of the All progressives Congress, APC, has come under attack following
recent impeachment move against Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State.
The Lagos State House of
Assembly, on Monday said it may impeach Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode over alleged
gross misconducts.
The House also summoned Ambode to
appear before it within one week over his failure to formally present the 2019
Budget before the Assembly.
The recent development has since
generated reactions online from Nigerians.
Some Nigerians accused Tinubu of
inciting the lawmakers to impeach Ambode, stressing that the former Lagos state
Governor was still in full control of the affairs of the state.
Here are some reactions gathered from Twitter:
@DAfricanvoice “So what happens
after they succeed in impeaching Ambode? Or let’s say they end up not
succeeding,it’s simple! The APC will be further divided in Lagos State! Ambode
wake up! Ask God for wisdom.”
@WantNigeria “For me, we should
be fighting Bola Tinubu for all these. He controls Lagos and dictates what
happens. He removed Ambode and instituted Sanwo-Olu and he’s going to win
because you’re going to vote for him. Now is the time to take back Lagos from
Tinubu and you can do that by not voting his man.”
@_Rasaqagoro_ “If Ambode can be
bullied and disgraced this way? How then do we trust Sanwo-Olu to be
independent If he wins though? The coming days in Lagos aren’t smiling at all.”
@Baddestbossbabe “Ambode might be
afraid of being probed when he leaves office. Tinubu basically controls Lagos
state and most of y’all will vote for his chosen candidate. It’s quite
shameful.”
@Bullusonpoint “How Tinubu
controls Lagos State and the entire South West still remains a mystery to me.
Lagos people used to hail Ambode before but when Tinubu turned his back against
Ambode, all of a sudden, Ambode became incompetent.Now, it’s impeachment.”
@Elibokunit “Tinubu deliberately
chooses political neophytes as his annointed. He won’t allow people who know
how to play the game to have access to the Lagos treasury.”
@Fash_Olu “This action is not
surprising. Tinubu has made himself a warlord and kingmaker in Lagos State. The
people of Lagos shld free themselves from this self centred & corrupt
leader. Ambode shld resign and pitch tent with Agbaje to wrestle Lagos from
Tinubu.”
@Donmeka “Everything was rosy buy
Ambode didn’t build himself a political structure. He became complacent and
depended fully on the structure that made him “The Jagaban political dynasty”
“With Tinubu behind him, what
could ever go wrong with Ambode in Lagos? Nothing.”
@Afrispheric “I stand to be
corrected, but if Ambode is impeached, he will not be entitled to the
fraudulent pension for ex-governors and deputy that Tinubu created.Tinubu is
really out to deal with Ambode.”
@Ogar_Jnr “I’m not a Lagosian but
from what I’ve seen Ambode is the best lagos governor I’ve seen but Tinubu
because of his greed he won’t allow Ambode to rerun, Ambode is far more better
than Fashola.”
@Prestonowodo “Ambode has to
manage whatever he sees. I had expected him to deffect to a strong opposition
party and fight for his right but no, he didn’t Now he has been used and
abandoned.”
@Stalyf “The main reason for the
impeachment move against Ambode is to set example and make good scapegoat. This
is why we must not vote in Sanwo-Olu because the man will be a slave of Tinubu
100%.”
@TosinOlugbenga “If I were
Ambode, I would leave APC and contest under another party. Iwould choose a
close rival political party like PDP to contest, even if I loose I would build
a political dynasty to challenge the status quo..But Baba is naive, timid and
docile.”
@EmmyClinton “You guys don’t
understand what’s going on they are doing all this to rig Lagos state, Ambode
has refused to comply with their rigging system that’s why they want to impeach
him! APC are simply criminals in power!
@Nigeriabest “That’s what happens
when a man doesn’t stand for something.They humiliated him yet he was still
grovelling to Tinubu. He even told us that Sanwo-Olu was a fraudster & drug
user. Yet he turned round to support the man. Anything Ambode sees, he has to take
it like that.”
@YoungProf_MUFC “Impeaching Gov
Ambode will be APC Lagos’ greatest undoing.He is still the reason some parts of
Lagos are still managing to support Sanwoolu. Impeach him and, watch Lagos
switch to Agbaje’s campaign team.”
