And so, Ambode could
not be forgiven his ‘sins’ by the godfather. He has been smashed like a gadfly
and when the polls open sometime in February next year to pick a governor for Lagos State
after the 2015/2019 electoral cycle, his name shall be missing from the ballot
paper. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who is part of the Akinwunmi Ambode administration
in Lagos as
managing director of Lagos Property Development Corporation (LSDPC) has been
chosen by the oracle to replace him.
It wasn’t as if a proper trial was conducted and Akinwunmi Ambode found guilty
of serious and unpardonable sins. He was just unfortunate to be on the scene at
this time. The charge, specifically, was that he had forgotten, since he became
governor about three and half years ago, to invite the real owners of Lagos State
to the dining table. It was not also said that he was eating alone while others
were kept at bay salivating.
