Senator Anthony Adefuye, a member of Lagos state Governor Advisory Council reveals how Ambode lost his second term bid.
Senator
Anthony Adefuye, yesterday, disclosed how party leaders in Lagos East
Senatorial District fought to secure the second term ticket for Governor
Akinwunmi Ambode.
Adefuye disclosed this at a reconciliation meeting held at CMD
Shangisha in Lagos. Ambode Adefuye, the APC Lagos East Senatorial
District Leader, said: “People accused us of removing Governor Akinwunmi
Ambode. We saw this crack four months ago and we decided to meet with
our Lagos Central Senatorial Leader, Alhaji Tajudeen Olusi and we went
to see Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. “We asked Tinubu if there was any problem,
and he said that there was a problem and he narrated it. “We prostrated
and asked him to call the Ambode and speak with him. “We left the place
and started calling the Ambode to give him a hint of the meeting, but he
did not pick our calls. Asiwaju Tinubu said that he was not picking his
calls too. I actually tried my best.
“We rose up to defend
Ambode. We didn’t just follow Asiwaju like sheep, we fought and we
tried. “Those of us in the East nearly burst into tears for the
opportunity we lost in Lagos East. “I fought tooth and nail to make sure
that the position was not taken away from us. It was a great
opportunity that we lost. “Anyone that is not a party man should not be
elected into positions. Take this advice and make sure you don’t make
the same mistake.”
