BARONS IN FIERCE FIGHT OVER SOUL OF LAGOS

BARONS IN FIERCE FIGHT OVER SOUL OF LAGOS

BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU

Who becomes the next Executive Governor of Lagos State come May,2019,well the questions are now being asked and very seriously by several Lords-of-The-Ring in the State.

Checks by The News office Desk of the E.N.M.Paedia Express Multimedia Group of Lagos,Nigeria as at press time in Lagos,Nigeria ,shows that Africa's top power broker and political mafia so ,Ashiwaju Bola Ahemd Tinubu and who also  doubles as the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress [A.P.C.]is holding last minute talks with President Muhammadu Buhari over the fate of his godson:Governor Akinwunmi Ambode ,on whether the latter should be allowed to fly the ticket of the party or not .

Already ,names have been flown in various sections of the local media as those that have being chosen by the political landlords to contest in 2019 governorship elections in the state.

Sources say that the decisions by Tinubu to fight Ambode publicly at the Bus stop was due to the refusal of the latter to implement their perceived gentleman's agreement before the Chartered Accountant turned politician came to local and global political prominence.

Insiders insists that a lot of public officers in the state cabinet were left redundant in the scheme of things as Ambode  tightened the belts in his regime and as such they could not perform their statutory constitutional duties with this reporter hearing exclusively of how Mr Tunji Bello ,the Secretary to the state Government resigning in protest at the humiliation but for the intervention of Tinubu.

It was also gathered that the Governor who turned himself into an overnight Government contractor had asked for an Outside Broadcast Van to be supplied to the state owned television station at the cost

of N3.2billion to replace the existing one through a Lebanese contractor but the latter supplied a poor facility believed to be in a poorer shape than the existing one thus leading to expectant tongues to be actually set wagging by the issue.

It was also discovered that the Scion of the Otedola dynasty,Mr Femi Otedola ,himself a popular Business baron was also going to be throwing his hat into the ring to vie for the diadem through The Peoples Democratic Party[P.D.P.]

Analysts at the Policy and Editorial Board of the E.N.M.Paedia Express Multimedia Group of Lagos,Nigeria ,see this more as a clear attempt by the famed Billionaires Boys Club to launch an assault via a hostile take- over at the Presidential seat in 2023,using the Lagos governorship position as a test run.

With patronage ,especially at the Federal level now on its leaner side as words rang out from this medium about the modus operandi of the wealth of the B.B.C it is not now difficult even for the dumb to see why they now want one of their own in power.

Lagos state is neck deep in a serious debt regime of around N2.2Trillion according to an insider and no one knows how the people angling for power will yet try to offset some of this debt or do they just want to be Governor for ego alone?

STOP PRESS!!!

As at press time,Mr Femi Otedola is quoted by an online medium,The Eagle Online as saying that it was not true that he was trying to contest the 2019 Governorship elections and that the public should disregard this suggestions.
