Details As Very Sober Gov Ambode Is About To Get Tinubu’s Full Backing For Reelection

Emerging details available to societynow.ng revealed that there is a strong chance Governor Akinwunmi Ambode will get the elusive second term ticket.

Insiders disclose this development is as a result of political leader Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s continuing leaning towards that direction.

The All Progressives Congress leader had initially insisted on withholding his support for Ambode’s second term bid.

The decision was as a result of the governor’s sideline of political leaders – including Tinubu – in his winding down first term in office.

The Governor is alleged to have embarked on a mission to set up a political might which has proved inadequate in helping him to retain party ticket.

Information available to societynow.ng revealed that faced with the reality of his situation, the very sober state governor had “bent the knee” for Tinubu.

Societynow.ng gathered the development resulted in a series of negotiation and major concessions by Ambode, which have virtually brought Tinubu to his side.

A source however disclosed to societynow.ng “that is not to say that all other aggrieved political chieftains are supporting the idea, in fact, there are those seriously warning Tinubu he would end up regretting the action”.

Societynow.ng learned those who have taken this position are political leaders who have suffered serial bloodied in the hands of Ambode in the award of government contracts, as well as party loyalists, uprooted from their daily livelihood in the Governor’s attempt to plant his men in strategic places.

“Let’s be clear about it, the opposition to Ambode’s re-election is intense within the party but his saving grace is that Tinubu still holds the structure and it’s whatever the leader says that goes” an insider disclosed.

Societynow.ng learned with the slant negotiation between Ambode and Tinubu has taken; the governor is as good as securing a second term – except a massive political upheaval takes place.
