On this Jagaban issue, every 4 years people come on social media to yell and castigate the man over his political decisions. There are over 18m people in Lagos, over 1000 politicians yet they cannot unseat him. #Tinubu
Is this his fault? Are you expecting him to raise his legs and say "hi guys come and screw me over". I don't want this stuff anymore, I am tired..who does that? #Tinubu
He left the AD, formed the AC then ACN, Afenifere, Obasanjo could not unseat him. He lost two deputy governors, Kofo Bucknor and Femi Pedro to the opposition party, Lost Obanikoro, a man he single handedly made a senator to PDP, he lost Jimi Agbaje a close ally also to the PDP.
Obasanjo and GEJ tried, they didn't succeed. Lagos had Minister for works, Ogunlewe, PDP BOT chairman - Bode George, Defence - Obanikoro, Olusegun Aganga - Trade but while these men go to bed at night, Jagaban stays awake scheming and planning his next move at Bourdillon..
rallying the grassroot and then he comes with either the stick or the carrot. Obanikoro his sworn enemy is back, Pedro is back, Salvador former PDP chairman is back to his camp. He did not put a gun to anybody's head to wine and dine with him. #Tinubu
Why are they all back to his camp? It is simple, it is the easy way out for them. They cannot break him so they will rather join him. But have a choice to form an alliance to "finish" him off but they won't do it. #Tinubu
He has successfully built a battalion of loyalists from 1999 till date. From Fashola to the councilor in the smallest ward in Lagos. Fashola, Osinbajo, Fowler, Lai Mohammed, Ben Akabueze, Ojudu, Ade Ipaye, Rauf, Hamzat, GOS, Gbajabiamila, Faleke, Yayi, Ashafa, Opeifa, Tunji Bello
Leke pitan, Jide Idris, Dele Alake, Mamora and a whole lot of other young brilliant minds. For every one person he empowered, he got thousands more in return. He identifies the best and use them to his advantage. They remain ever loyal to him..
Can Bode George or Ogunlewe roll out a list comparable to Tinubu's list? Why haven't they been able to create a formidable opposition to kick him out? They had the federal might for 16 years to their advantage.
To be honest, is he at fault? What do we expect him to do? Crawl under his duvet at Bourdillon or watch African Magic all day? He is already scheming for 2023. His machinery is set again because he is light years ahead of these docile politician and pretenders..
He is the Lion of Bourdillon and when he roars, his lionesses and cubs will respond. Unless a stronger pride emerges, he will continue to rule this jungle. It is the law of nature, sentiments dont matter.
His logic is simple, do your job, respect your party members, keep them happy, and pay homage to bourdillon. Except you have the strategic and political clout to upturn this system, going against it after benefitting from it is foolhardy. They will revolt and fight..
Ambo had 3,735 votes our of 5700 delegates in 2015, thrice what Hamzat polled, he defeated an incumbent commisioner, speaker and the anointed candidate of Fashola flawlessly. Ambode an unknown candidate without a ward, without a delegate.
Was he backed by spirits? A beneficiary of imposition and bourdillon's anointing oil does not have any moral right to fight it. Performance is secondary in this game. Jagaban's system will continue to churn out performers, loyalty is the word!!
Tinubu has a long list of brilliant minds, so long that he exports them to other states. The next governor that will emerge will make Ambode look like a mediocre. Jagaban has a template, Lagos has a template, follow it and you will succeed at party level and publicly.
Go against it and you will be ambushed by the party or the public. Don't dine with him and then turn back to sucker punch him. He will throw a counter a KO punch. If you don't believe in him fight him from the outside, don't step into Bourdillon.
He has built a formidable structure from the civil service, party structure, affinity groups, monarchy, NURTW, market women and so on..
He keeps them happy and close..
Oyinlola, Osoba and other Afenifere guys couldn't do this in their states. He is the greatest for now.

@threadreaderapp unroll
Ambode was voted in by 727,000 voters but this inert politicians cannot rally 1.5m voters out of 20m lagosians in 4 years to oust him. They hide their lazy butts under the stale tale of godfatherism. Go and work, build your structure and team..get the voters on your side.
