Indications are that the rift between two former governors of Lagos state, Bola Tinubu and Akinwumi Ambode, is widening by the day with Ambode allegedly threatening to fight dirty if Tinubu does not relent in his alleged persecution plan.
Several allegations has linked the All progressives Congress, APC godfather, Bola Tinubu, to the recent travails being faced by the erstwhile governor, Ambode.
Ambode is under probe for corruption by the Lagos state House of Assembly, but sources allege that the person behind it was his estranged godfather, who they insist still bears some grudges against the immediate past governor.
The nature of the grudge, however, is not clear.
Recently, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, stormed the Epe home of Ambode. but his lawyers had claimed that Ambode was aware that the EFCC were coming, and was prepared. According to the Lawyers, they followed members of the anti-graft agency in their search within his house and claimed that they foiled the Agency’s plan to plant dollars in his house that they will finally claim they found there.
Besides, it was said that his quest for ministerial nomination was torpedoed by the political machinery of the Asiwaju.Now the chickens are coming home to roost.
This Magazine gathered that Ambode rose from a recent meeting with his loyalists threatening to go to the press with incriminating documents in his possession allegedly indicting Tinubu if he refuses to soft-pedal on his alleged witch hunt. It was said that the search within his house may not be unconnected with looking for the alleged indicting evidence against Tinubu.
Recall that Ambode served under Tinubu , and worked together with Tunde Fashola, and Yemi Osinbajo. Hence the three have insider information on the inner workings of the state. Fashola and Ambode were both governors After Tinubu.
If the allegations are true, then the last has not been heard about the Tinubu Ambode saga.
