With 2018 beckoning and the 2019 elections only about a year away, the political clime is already heating up.
The real contenders and pretenders will gradually be revealed before our very eyes.
For the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), it would be yet another time to weigh its popularity before the people.
In this piece, Coordinators of Our Lagos Your Lagos, Aregbe Idris and Abiodun Yinusa, submit that in the run up to 2019 elections, the real leaders of the party must take its rightful place and unseat the fair weather leaders who are only after their meal ticket.
They insist that real leaders don’t claim credit for success, rather they accept responsibilities and that attempts by usurpers of the party will be resisted by real members of the party.

"Leaders who can’t see it would probably not find it. Leaders who lack vision cannot inspire teams. Blind Leaders cannot continue to lead. Leaders who see ability alone in their family, friends or neighbors are not Leaders. Leaders who lack character or integrity won’t last the test of time and it’s high time we ignore ‘the know it all leaders’, the pepperitos, the Enilolobo’s, the Banire’s and the hidden ones amongst us.
"The Alimosho’s, the Kosofe’s and quite number of key places are tired of those individuals who handed themselves leadership roles in their communities. Their quietness and calmness is for the love they have for the true leadership and structure on ground by our foremost leaders: Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Akinwunmi Ambode who have taken the State to its best. Any attempt to raise hands on these God given people, millions of hard stones comes back to you in a hard way.
"When we look at the effigy of these people, we keep praying for their long life. It is good for you to look back at where you guys are coming from and check if these people haven’t contributed to your life. The ‘It’s all about them politics is over’. A leader in one state today, a leader in another state tomorrow is over. Stay where you are and lead your people, if it’s all about true service and nothing behind that. Omo Eko niwa leni, Omo Osun niwa lola, Omo Ogun niwa the next day politics is over in Lagos. Asiwaju does not teach zigzag politics.
"A true grass root leader lays ground rules for promoting community change and not interfering with progressive, statesmanship decisions. You should always demonstrate credible commitment to their party and to their community. It is forbidden for any leader to obstruct growth process in the state. Your intention for this singular act is unacceptable. ‘We love Lagos, we cherish our dreams and we won’t let anyone divide us’.
"I dare any of these so called leaders to come out if you have never for once, twice, or thrice benefitted from the politics of the anointed one over the other. Anyone who wishes to leave should leave now, we mean NOW. We need the real party members and party faithfuls to enjoy and feel the Tinubu-Ambode breeze with ease in Lagos The only State that will save our party in the 2019 General Election in the Country".
