Lagos APC primaries: Why Ambode is not a good party man – Tinubu Oct. 02, 2018 A National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday declared that Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode was not a good party man. Tinubu said though Ambode has done well in office but the party decided against supporting the governor’s second term because he was not a good party man. He made the disclosure while addressing journalists at Ward C, Ikeja Local Government Area, after the conclusion of voting in the Lagos APC governorship primary. When questioned on his support for Ambode, Tinubu said, “Who did I support in 2014? Ambode. Life is dynamic. It’s those who made me the leader of the structure in Lagos who said it was what they want. It’s only if you have followers that you’re a leader in democracy. “If I look back and I don’t find them again; if I don’t respond to them, if I fail to accede to their request, I would have failed the leadership test.

Ambode: Tinubu rejects all pleas from Lagos Governor’s wife in Osogbo Pulse News | Sept. 19, 2018 All the pleas from Mrs. Ambode on her husband’s behalf, didn’t move APC godfather Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Pulse had exclusively reported that Ambode had moved his entourage and his wife, First Lady Bolanle Patience Ambode, to Osogbo where the APC was holding a mega rally for the governorship aspirant in Osun, Gboyega Oyetola. The campaign which was attended by President Muhammadu Buhari and all the APC governors, took place on Tuesday, September 18, 2018.
