National Leader
of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Tuesday, agreed
that Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode had done well as a governor and further
said that he was not a good party man.
He said this at his Ward C,
Ikeja Local Government Area after he voted at the governorship primary.
He claimed
that the decision not to support Ambode for the second was above him and added
that the party leadership of the state endorsed Jide Sanwo-Olu.
“Who did I support in 2014? Ambode. Life is
dynamic. It’s those who made me the leader of the structure in Lagos who said
it was what they want. It’s only if you have followers that you’re a leader in
democracy.
“If I look
back and I don’t find them again; if I don’t respond to them, if I fail to
accede to their request, I would have failed the leadership test.
“This is not
personal; it is beyond me as a person. Every democratic constitution is
preceded by ‘We, the people’. So, I had to submit myself to the wishes and the
yearnings of our party.
“This is an
elixir for the general election. Ambode Akin, he’s doing well, yes; he hasn’t
been a good party man; not only the glamour, not only about brick and mortal. A
talent is determined by character. For you to become an influential person, you
have to respond to the yearnings of the people. This is politics; democracy,
one man, one vote,” Tinubu said.
