Ambode did far,far better than any other person in APC including the president.Infact the man is the only beacon of hope for prospective APC presidency in the future.
Here we are.Party members vehemently opposing him because a stalwart sees himself as a demigod who determines who be what.
It's obvious Lagos is not moved by the jolting & impending defeat APC is experiencing in Osun State. An awakening is sweeping Nigeria wherein the political class must now beginning to acknowledge that power truly belongs to the people.

While it would appear Banire made some points, reading between the lines it's obvious to see Fashola's hand and vendetta over Ambode's supposed 'arrogance.'

In actual fact, it is Fashola who is arrogant cos he felt slighted that Ambode put him at a distance. He feels he has built an oversized image in Lagos about to be dumped into memory by Ambode. He is the puppeteer pulling the strings behind the Mandate Group, Banire and all the media campaign.

By the way, what is it with the PSP contractors? Why are they all so concerned about these? Someone needs to investigate. It's like it's the vehicle of economic compensation/reward for a large number of APC delegates and members of the Mandate Group.

Ambode may have his shortcomings, but it seems since he chose to be less political and sentimental on his policies decisions and actions and go full professional in the engagement of contractors, they have ganged up against him. Let no one be deceived, this is pure gang up!

And who told Banire that someone cannot come from outside the system to lead? That is what has kept Nigeria in the a cyclic hurricane till today. In fact, the one who will save Nigeria and sweep all of you away like a tsunami (at the highest level) will be from outside the system. A dark horse.

I wish Ambode can get me on his media team. I will take these guys and their minions to the cleaners and help win the majority of the electorate over, regardless of the party platform he's contesting on. It will be like magic. E go do VOOOM for their eyes!

AlhajaChinyere:


Shut it, are you an indegene of Lagos state?

Ajibel:
Many here on Nairaland who don't live in Lagos have been rooting for Ambode's re-election or nudging the governor to decamp to another party because they believe Ambode didn't open the coffers of the state government for the political elders in the state to loot from.

Well, Muiz Banire one of the sound minds and product of Jagaban school of politics has given you guys some of the issues with Ambode. They've seen it coming. They're in the know and understands better why Ambode's first tenure has been short of expectations per lagos standards in governance.

I wish Ambode the best going forward.

I'm sorry this is quite a long thread, but it isn't for everyone to read.

Happy reading...

All these issues that Muniz banire is blabbing about, were they not in existence before ambode came into power? Was fashola within the 'system' before he became givernor? Why is no one mentioning the entertainment village he is building at iyana oworo axui or the games village at epe or the fact that he wants to introduce ac commuter buses and do away with danfo buses? How much did tinubu and co give you? Abeg make una parkwelk. Whatever the case, tinubu has soiled his political career

From the best waste management agency in Nigeria with thousands of workers, multi-billion Naira waste management structure from loading and transfer stations to heavy machinery and all of a sudden to a mare regulator means categorically disbanded, it means you can no longer manage and dispose off waste.

It was disbanded and rebranded with singular function, a regulatory function that they actually don't perform, the governor's office and vision scape drive the policies and regulatory narratives hence the huge mess all over Lagos state

Why even blame Nigerians and not the creator of the problem in the first place? Was LAWMA deficient and not doing a great job as designed by the forefathers and his predecessors?

Vision scape showed up on the ground without any waste management infrastructure OR 1kobo to invest in waste management, Ambode sold us out in form of bond guarantees for them to borrow investment money with and in case of any default, Lagosians will pay N85 billion to get out of the deal.

My question again is, why get into this mess in the first place when in fact you have a well managed and functioning waste management system on the ground in the first place? Greed and o[ortinutiy for cronies to make money.

The standard practice and demand before you hire people, you ask them if they are well established, if they have sufficient funds to support their operations with, you ask them if they are bonded in case of any default. Obviously, Ambode did not do that because it was designed to be a scam from the beginning. Only foolish and corrupt people do business like that.

As they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

NoToPile:


You are more concerned with the terms of the contract and rightly so personally I choose to be silent about it because I am not really all out to defend or accuse Ambode just want to state it as it is. Infact I am quite indifferent about the whole thing.

Now in the case of the lawma workers, some lost their jobs and got reabsorbed back into CLI, some got the new jobs and lost them (e.g the 300 sanitation supervisors and quite a large number of area managers under visionscape), some got the jobs and still there, some got transferred from MOE to other agencies. The people who are sweeping the street now are the same old same old street sweepers, just a change of uniform and better pay that's all.

I am blaming Nigerians because we are actually the ones that sabataged the whole thing directly or indirectly, it was a Nigerian that 'chopped' sweepers money, it was more like a setup more like 'Sebi it's foreigners that can do our job better than us let's see' We were the ones that began to replace people who were trained for the job with those that had long leg, Even if it was a scam it's we that did the scamming.

About it not being broken. Like I said the Psp system was working - yes fairly so in my opinion I would say 70percent which is a pass mark, was there a better way of waste handling -Yes. Should the governor have brought in what was supposed to be a better company? Maybe, maybe not.

Now to what I think should have happened, the transition was not well programmed in my opinion, the psp were disengaged for months before visionscape started collection so everywhere was and still is dirty, visionscape was not well equipped to start day to day collection maybe they will be in the nearest future but that doesn't really matter anymore, they had few compactors trucks etc they were just building up in Nigeria.

I think they should have just been given the job to manage the landfills, let the psp continue the collection of wastes then visionscape takes over the management from the dumpsite nobody would even notice and then if they see how good they are at that they can extend it to collection but then waste management starts from collection/handling itself. Maybe they should have just tried to train the PSP people.

Either way there's still a more excellent way of waste collection not what PSP is giving us. I believe they are back now anyway so the diets should be mopped up with time.



BTW you guys should take it easy with Ambode oo

Ajibel:


I dont get the issues you claim Muiz is blabbing about currently. Because Lagos was already at an ascendancy under Fashola and what Ambode could have done was build upon what he met and strengthen the structures. If you've gone through the thread well, you'll see where Muiz talked about bringing in those who understands the system. Fashola was Tinubu's chief of staff when Lagos roadmap was drawn. So he understood everything and that's why we had a fruitful governance under him. Same cant be said of Ambode.

Did you read the part that Banire talked on the commuter buses Ambode intends introducing?

I have a feeling you rushed through this article. Please sir take your time and go through it once more.

Tinubu isn't your problem in Lagos.

Ajibel:
Ambode's anger and vengeance towards Fashola is his greatest undoing.

Can you believe he sacked some Executive secretaries in Lagos simply because they acknowledged Fashola during a public function?

deomelo:



Apart from the fact that he abandoned Fashola's projects, the same projects he should be commissioning and shining with today, his vindictive attitude is one of his major flaws. Look at the JJT park he built for former Lagos state governors, he intentionally left out Fashola as if Fashola was never a governor in Lagos state.

deomelo:



ipob, Fashola was within the system when he became the governor because he was Tinubu'schief of staff, meaning he effectively managed the day to day operations of Tinubu's administration

You obviously don't know anything about Lagos or anything beyond your village.


And the rest of your rubbish is the typical ignorant and unintelligent nonsense and ipob Tinubu obsession/personal tragedy.

Who told you I'm ipob? That's the level of your shallow reasoning. Everything to you is about tribe that's why you can't even travel and see what happens outside. You whose grandfather was an immigrant to lagos dey make mouth? So ambode did not serve Lagos State government in any other capacity? He was plucked out from the moon? All you have done is magnify your ignorance and parochial views

Don't mind the bush pigs and animals who live in the village but think ambode is performing. Crazy set of humans. One minute ambode hates them and wants to destroy their business, next minute ambode is the best governor. You cannot have a car and be driving through lagos roads and open your dirty mouth to say ambode is trying. Every time i drive through most roads in lagos, i curse ambode with all my heart and the curse will affect him by the grace of God. It is already affecting him

I'll miss Ambode's command of English Language but no legacy worthy to remember. Oh I forgot, he brought the President to commission a bustop under construction
