I worked with him for six years and I know that he is not only brilliant but has also been tested and he is trusted,” Fashola said.

EX-Officio Member: Muniru Muse (Muslim). 15. EX-Officio Member: Alhaji Yemi Sanusi (Muslim). Yet, these people want us to believe they are PROGRESSIVES and that APC is a national party. I think APC has a hidden religious agenda..Be guided people!
ReplyDeleteShare to all Christian you know to vote wisely. I will not want my children to live in a Nigeria where they cannot worship their GOD!

DeleteMUMU! FASH! This same man U want to remove from Ur government is now "TESTED & TRUSTED5 U dey DECIEVE Ur VILLAGE PEOPLE. RUBBISH!
ReplyDeleteAmbode must be tested in the act of concealing corruption for Tinubu. Now he is trusted by the same people. This hypocrisy has got to stop. He was sacked by Fashola for same crime. He remains unfit to govern Lagos. #jimmy4lagos.
ReplyDelete@5.31pm You are biased, misguided and trying to misguide christians. First. whats the relevance of your comments to the above news item? Is Ambode a muslim. Second, why this selective list? Why not give a full list of all APC top-guns, including Oyegun, Amaechi etc rather than this religious bigotry and divisive strategies all aimed at an ulterior motive of rescuing PDP's corrupt and sinking ship. Nigeria desires, demands and deserves merit, irrespective of tribe or religion.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous @5:31, its time to keep sentiment aside, Nigeria needs fixing it doesn't matter is all the arms of government are Buddhist as long as the person is a Nigerian........statements like this widen our divide and dangerous to our already tension polity. So lets think Nigeria first..................
