The humiliation of Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, at the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship Primary today only adds to the clear fact that the forces against him are many and that he is towing a destructive path remaining in the same party that does not want him as governor of Lagos State beyond 2019.
Just like in the Osun State Governorship rerun election held on Thursday last week, media reports suggests that APC members loyal to Ambode were disenfranchised and prevented from voting in different wards during the election held Tuesday October 2. Reports of Ambode's supporters being flogged, maimed and dehumanized by political thugs loyal to the forces against him suggests that his political career in the APC may be over and it is right time to start preparing his handover notes.
Winning a governorship election with an opposition party in Lagos State has never been recorded, so Ambode contemplating contesting in another party may not be a welcome idea. He is just a victim of godfatherism, as the same forces that installed him have practically removed him with the recent primary election.
Other mushroom political parties may be beckoning on his consideration, but it will be an exercise in futility to contest for the governor of Lagos State in an opposition party. With the way the APC have been going, 2019 is definitely going to be a year of political intrigues. Nevertheless, there will be massive defections from the party this month, but Lagos State is a done deal for all the people involved.
