“Who Am I To Speak After Jagaban” Ambode Romance Tinubu

Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, caused so much laughter while acknowledging Bola Tinubu, a national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), during the launch of ‘Africa Rise and Shine’, a book by Jim Ovia, chairman of Zenith Bank.

At the event, which held at Eko Hotel Convention Centre, Lagos, Ambode was invited to speak after Tinubu.

On getting to the podium, Ambode immediately acknowledged the dignitaries, as he noted that he wasn’t prepared to give a speech.

“Actually, I didn’t prepare to come and say anything here… And who am I to speak after the Jagaban has spoken?’ Ambode asked.

His sentence got the audience and himself laughing, before he went on to speak on Ovia.

“But obviously, the truth is, there is no person that has actually gone through the profession of accountancy that would not have had anything to do with Uncle Jim, and that is the truth.”

Other dignitaries present at the event were Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, Rilwan Akiolu, oba of Lagos, governors of Delta, Borno and Taraba states.

Ambode and Tinubu have reportedly fallen apart, with the APC leader said to be working against the reelection of the governor.

NaijaNews learnt that there is a threat to impeach Ambode if he did not drop his reelection bid.
