Ex Governor of Lagos State, Akinwumi Ambode has substantiated the reasons that warranted his failure to get the second term ticket as the Governor of the state of excellency.
Ambode disclosed this in a piece of writing emanated from his quarter and spreading on social media.
It would be recalled that Ambode served a single term of four years(2015-2019) and was defeated by the incumbent Governor, Babajide Sanwolu at the APC primary election conducted in Lagos State prior 2019 General Elections.
Ambode in his justification substantiated reasons as follows:
I constructed 22 roads in Alimosho and refused to award any of the contracts to Aregbesola and co.
I insisted that contracts that had been awarded to party leaders under Fashola must be executed before they can be awarded new contracts under my regime.
I wanted to phase out Danfos and Area boys from the streets of Lagos and introduce smarter means of transportation without Area boys and Agberos.
I refused to pad the budget with 10% for house of assembly members led by Bayo Osinowo and Mudashir Obasa.
I refused to grant the concession of 4th mainland bridge to Tinubu’s Hitech
I refused to increase the amount of money being paid from the state revenue to Tinubu through Alpha Beta from 10% to 20%
I developed Epe. Epe was never in their master plan.
I refused to support Aregbesola and Bayo Osinowo’s senatorial ambitions because they are not Lagosians.
I refused to use Lagos state funds to finance osun elections.
I opposed Tinubu’s succession plan, which will see his son Seyi Tinubu becoming the next Governor of Lagos state after me.
