Akinwunmi Ambode Returns to His Shell, Again
Prepare to witness the enigmatic disappearance of Akinwunmi Ambode, the former governor of Lagos State, as he gracefully exits the Nigerian political stage once more. Ambode’s journey is a tale of exits and entrances, each one shrouded in mystery and intrigue, leaving us wondering what his next move will be.
From his humble beginnings as the auditor general for local government to his illustrious tenure as governor, Ambode has always been a figure of prominence in Nigerian politics. His contributions to the state’s financial stability and governance have earned him both praise and criticism, but it is his penchant for disappearing acts that truly sets him apart.
Despite his undeniable achievements, Ambode’s political career has been marked by uncertainty and upheaval. His bid for a second term was thwarted by internal party politics, leading to his replacement by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. Since then, Ambode has receded from the limelight, retreating into the shadows of political obscurity once again.
But this isn’t the first time Ambode has vanished from the political scene. Throughout his career, he has mastered the art of the disappearing act, only to reappear when least expected. His enigmatic nature and ability to navigate the complexities of Nigerian politics make him a fascinating figure to watch.
Readers would recall how he vanished after his fracas with Tinubu, only to return to the limelight when the latter was campaigning to be Nigeria’s president. Despite their issues, Ambode allegedly helped out as much as he could. But now, he’s gone, again.
As rumours swirl about his potential appointment as an ambassador and his rumoured ventures into private business, Ambode’s departure leaves many questions unanswered. Will he resurface in the future, or is this truly the end of his political journey? Readers should bet on the former. Nevertheless, only time will tell as we all bid (a temporary) farewell to one of Nigerian politics’ most enigmatic figures.
