+how he's giving each person 2,000 for declaration

As the declaration of the controversial governorship aspirant in Lagos, AKinwunmi Ambode under the All People Congress(APC)is going on in Onikan Stadium, information made available to us is that all the party Local Government(LG) and ward Chairmen has been directed by the party leaders to mobilized 500 people from each LG in Lagos to the declaration of Ambode today. This directives was alleged to be given by former governor of Lagos State and leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to party Chairman to direct LG and ward chairmen that they must mobilized people to Ambode declaration today at Onikan.

Meanwhile, the decision for the mobilisation of party members to the declaration is to show Lagosian and Nigeria the level of crowd/people Ambode can pull and how they trust and want him to become their next flag bearer and governor of the State.

While, some big wing in the party hint us that this decision or steps of imposition is the first step of decamp of big aspirants in the part to opposition party which may lead to lost of the party to opposition party since 1999. It will be recall that Ambode's Lagos origin tale has been questioned.
Last, we will give you a details and factors why Lagos APC will lose to PDP come to 2015 general election if Ambode is presented as the party flag bearer in our next edition on the 2nd of November.
