AKINWUNMI AMBODE – THE GRADUAL BOUNCE

They woke up one morning from their orgy and said, ‘no second term’. They said he didn’t follow the master plan and, as such, will not be allowed to do a second term. All hell broke loose, and everybody begged.

But the owners had spoken, and nothing anybody could do about it. So, he left. We all cried, but what could we do? The talent was keen, and that was why he was brought in, in the first place. He has mended the fences, and today he is at the national level playing a very strategic role in the party that should see his party better positioned and ready.

They say he has been made vice chairman in charge of strategy for APC in the South-West. To me, this is a welcome development because this leader still has so much to give. I am for a robust democracy, and democracy is about debate, strategy and engagement. Let’s have a strong APC who will take on a virile PDP in a battle that would be guided by strategy and logic and not by loaves of bread and ballot snatching. This is a welcome development, and I want to send my hearty congratulations to Mr Ambode and the APC for this welcome and very strategic development.
