The ongoing probe of the immediate past Governor of Lagos, Akinwunmi Ambode by the Lagos State House of Assembly and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is causing ripples and outrage on twitter.
The Lagos State House of Assembly had on Tuesday set up a committee to probe the purchase of 820 high capacity buses by Ambode at a cost of N7 billion despite rejection of the move by the House.
Also, the EFCC is currently probing N9.9 billion fraud allegation linked to Ambode’s government which led to the commission’s recent invasion of the former governor’s apartments in Ikoyi and Epe.
However, Ambode is trending on twitter right now, with lots of people seeing his travail as persecution from the people he had offended.
While many are sympathetic with the former governor, others are saying that if Ambode had actually done something wrong, he should face the music.

The Difference between a Father and a Flatterer (Tinubu – Ambode)
Fathers make sons.
Fathers train sons.
Fathers guide sons.
Fathers fight for sons.
Fathers sacrifice for sons.But Flatterers, they Use, Dump and Crush sons and throw them out like bastards.

Lagos is probing Ambode I find that hilarious, the day APC loses Lagos state to another party that's when the original can of worms will be opened, until then all this probe is comedy. You can't fight a system you benefited from that press conference is still hunting him.

Tinubu may die of Ambode's envy and witch hunt. You may ask what does Ambode have that Tinubu is envy of? My answer is a witch doesn't care about a thing, when they begin their wicked mission.

Ambode was just foolish and lacks balls as then Governor. Today Obaseki and Oshomole have settled because Governor Obaseki dared to be a man. Ambode would have fought to death . It never paid to be a fearful man. I hate men without guts & will. Fashola fought & remains relevance

AMBODE, former LAGOS Governor wants to sing! Wants to talk about MONEY. Who stole what. Who’s been programmed to steal what. Did AMBODE truly say this? For 1 day as Governor; AMBODE did not steal a kobo? He isn’t a NIGERIAN. SING; AMBODE, SING. But don’t SING OFF KEY! #SMACKDOWN pic.twitter.com/TPseqqQpGI
