Lagos Ministerial Slot: Group Asks Buhari To Damn Tinubu And Appoint Ambode

The Save Lagos Group has taken strong exception to a statement allegedly credited to All Progressives Congress, APC national leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu that he would resign his membership of the party if the immediate past governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode is appointed a minister.

The group’s statement obtained by GWG urged Tinubu to stop playing God over the plan to appoint Ambode into the yet to be constituted cabinet of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Reacting to the recent statement allegedly credited to Senator Bola Tinubu in the media that he would resign his (Tinubu) membership of APC if President Buhari nominates Mr. Ambode as Ministerial nominee from the State. The statement has, however, not been confirmed.

In a signed statement by the  SLG’s Convener, Comrade Adeniyi, Alimi Sulaiman and copies were made available to newsmen on Tuesday.

Comrade Sulaiman stated that Senator Tinubu has turned himself to Alpha and Omega of the State nay Nigeria politics, forgetting that only God gives and takes power and no human being can act like God.

Quoting the part of the statement credited to Tinubu that, 

“Ambode tried to destroy the party in his first term. Apart from not being accessible, he revoked contracts belonging to the party members and brought in his own companies.

Appraising Ambode, the SLG convener disclosed that Ambode is more qualified than Tinubu because Ambode is educationally qualified to hold any position including Minister in the country, because he doesn’t  have any blight on his educational qualification.

He therefore urged Buhari to appoint former Governor Ambode into his cabinet without further delaying so as to bring credibility to his second term in office.
