Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos state, Adegbola
Dominic, has alleged that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s overbearing nature and
desire to corner all the resources of Lagos State to himself made him
fallout with Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.
Speaking to journalists on Wednesday in Lagos, Dominic said he was
surprised Governor Ambode could not muster the resources at his disposal
and the power he enjoys as governor to confront Asiwaju Tinubu.
He said, “ I was partly surprised because I expected Ambode an
incumbent governor to have a will of his own, to know what he wants and
go for it. Apparently, he wasn’t happy because he knew that Tinubu was
overbearing and has cornered all the resources of the state. So, the
governor wanted a change and that was what caused the problem between
them.
“Now, Tinubu sensing that the governor is unhappy with him just came
and howled at him like a bulldog and Ambode just cowered without even a
fight. That is very surprising to me. He behaved like a man who does not
have conviction. I expected that with the resources at his disposal and
the power of incumbency he enjoys, he will be able to fight for what he
believed is right.
“The fact that he cowered in the face of Tinubu’s howling is what
surprises me. But he is also a product of Tinubu’s system. He connived
with Tinubu and the others to put all the resources of Lagos state into
Tinubu’s hand and himself. But I still expected that a man of his
caliber who is an incumbent governor and who knows all the dubious
activities of Tinubu can still cower just like that. It is very
surprising to me,” Dominic
said.
