Ambode tried but not a good party man –Tinubu

Tinubu


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.
