After Lagosians spent over three hours stuck in traffic on Monday morning, who else to blame but Governor Akinwumi Ambode.
The widespread traffic jam was caused by the presence of heavy duty trailers- on several major roads within the metropolis.
Naturally, Nigerians never miss a chance to criticise the system, and Ambode just happened to suffer the ire of Nigerian Twitter today.
We take a look at some tweets:
@obi_chezie @AnthoniaOrji @DejiAfilaka Ambode inherited a Lagos that was functioning OK. Same cannot be said of Nigeria PMB inherited.

Ambode needs to know that Lagos is very pivotal in this country. And the slightest trace of incompetence deserves the harshest bashing. — #YourFavOnlineDoctor (@DrOlufunmilayo) September 21, 2015
“@elchocola2: Lmao. Lagosians complaining of Ambode? You guys watched the debate and still voted for him. Abeg carry ya cross”

Wake up in d morning may be no work ne? U ppl start blaming ambode for traffic.. Just bcos twitter free abi. Claiming activist! Continue — Comrade Manko (@Kcflavour10) September 21, 2015
Saying Lagos problems were there before Ambode, while vehemently blaming Nigeria’s problems on Jonathan back then only shows u are a nitwit.

Ambode is the only governor in Nigeria who would trend for NOT doing anything — OLUWAFEMI (@olufemisp) September 21, 2015
If it was Agbaje in power and this was happening, y’all Ambode loyalists would do worse than complain. So please let us complain in peace!

Ambode’s campaign office is close to my house, they keep updating his billboards with his coats of many colors. i didn’t see one mandate — Radical for Christ (@daxrist) September 21, 2015
We Nigerians can complain, under Fashola lastma was too harsh, under Ambode lastma is too weak……what do we really want?

Can you guys give Ambode and his photographers a break? You wanted fine pictures, they gave you. Now you want actual governance? Wow. Greedy — Sir Vage; Baby Maker (@iamsupervillain) September 21, 2015
@DrOlufunmilayo the only thing exceptional in Ambode’s tenure so far is the clean,sharp and nice poses of pictures he used for campaign.

I think Ambode is wobbling and fumbling as Governor, but on this Trailer matter,it is you Twitter folks that made him ban trailers. Dont cry — Ikenna Ron Nzimora (@ronaldnzimora) September 21, 2015
U say dt again”@DrOlufunmilayo: Ambode is slowly becoming the new Jonathan. The poster boy of inefficiency, and the people’s favorite for…

@AkinwunmiAmbode. The state of street urchins is alarming, crime rate also soar more. I am yet to see ambode at work https://t.co/PCe6WZfxGF — Akebaje Omo Mummy ♈® (@AkebajeOlajide) September 21, 2015
Lagosians want Ambode to make Lagos a UK overnight I guess.
— Akuma Iordaah (@Akuma_Iordaah) September 21, 2015
At least my trucks that supply oranges to Lagos came home safe. I hope Ambode fixes traffic ? issue before our next move.
— Akuma Iordaah (@Akuma_Iordaah) September 21, 2015
So should Ambode rescind the daytime ban on Trailer Drivers & let them drive by day so tankers can keep killing people at Ojuelegba & etc?
— Ikenna Ron Nzimora (@ronaldnzimora) September 21, 2015
Traffic getting crazier, Okadas plying every road now and tankers blocking roads. I don’t just get it. All I know is Ambode is not working.
— Olive ♥ (@Olivee_N) September 21, 2015
By non designated people, don go drivers and their usual madness. Okada riders everywhere even in alausa. Ambode has to be strong.

Hello sir @AkinwunmiAmbode , it’s like Eko ti n baje small small. I just want to know if you are still our Governor. Thank you.
— Muyiwa (@IbikunleMuyiwa) September 21, 2015
@DrOlufunmilayo I think Ambode and Olivier Giroud shares similarities…They are more concerned with their looks than their relevances.
— ADEOLA_STONES (@afasegbejo_jnr) September 21, 2015
Comparing GEJ and Ambode is lewd and obnoxious……. Well jux trekking tho
— #TeamFlavour™ (@FlavoursFanPage) September 21, 2015
