Following the viral report alleging that the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode has personally dumped his ambition to seek a second term in office, the Governor has distanced himself from the report saying it is falsehood.

In a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Habib Aruna, he noted that there is no iota of truth in the report adding that the message did not emanate from the Governor.

According to Aruna; “My attention has been drawn to a falsehood spreading across social media platforms on the endorsement of a candidate for the Lagos State Governorship position by His Excellency, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

“There is no iota of truth in the said statement and it did not emanate from the Governor or his office. We are not oblivious of the desperation from certain quarters that is hell bent on fanning the embers of discord within the Lagos APC.”

He concluded saying; “The tremendous strides and infrastructural development embarked upon by Governor Ambode in almost three and half years will be completed by him within the constitutional stipulated time.

“This is why he has sought the support of party leadership and every Lagosian for re-election in order to complete the good works he has started. He is very much committed to that bid.”


However, in the viral statement alleging that Governor Ambode has dumped his second term ambition, the Governor was quoted as saying “I, Akinwunmi Ambode the Executive Governor of Lagos State after due considerations and consultations, I have decided to suspend my campaign for second term as the executive governor of our great state.”

The message continues that; “This is done in good faith to put the interests of our great state ahead of our personal ambition and to honour the clarion call for a change of leadership by our great party.

“I am committed to the program and manifestos of our great party APC to improve the lives of the people of Lagos State and Nigeria as a whole.”

In the same statement, Governor Ambode was alleged to have endorsed another candidate, Mr. Jide Sanwo-Olu. “In view of this, I hereby endorse Hon Jide Sanwolu to represent our party for the office of the executive governor of Lagos state.

I thank the leadership of our party at all levels for their supportive role during my term as the executive governor of Lagos state,” the statement read.

when money is involved? They are most times sponsored

But why ?? Who did this guy offend ? i heard KWAM1 was mocking him

He performed so well anways

I have a feeling somebody got wind of Gov Ambode farewell message, and decided to post it online before the Gov gave the speech, himself.

The message is too pure to be a lie.







At the end of the day, he will still congratulate Gov-elect Jide Sanwo-olu

You see, fake news specialists everywhere. when government wanted to checkmate them, they came with all sorts of banters, shouting freedom of the press and expression. But they have proved over time that they are only out to be causing problems.

Bro, the Waste Management policy that he thwarted was the greatest sin he committed. Because he took job from mouth of LAWMA staff and give it to one yeye visionless scope from Dubai

Rumour mongers sef, mtcheew

Definitely is just a mere speculation, what would sanwaolu had offer him that would make him step down its never possible.

Tinubu oooo

Bustincole:
Ambo!!!


Ati lo

he is already damaged goods, he has lost his authority.

your cabinet is against you, all your local govt chairmen are against you, your state party big wigs are against you, the foot soldiers are against you...thats what you call a vote of no confidence... he is walking dead.

In sane environments he would have resigned already, but for the fact that we live in an environment where people have no morals, dignity, principles and shame and would rather beg and humiliate themselves (behaving like a houseboy or all right sir at a public event ) just to hold on to power.

Even if Tinubu saves him he will be damaged, nobody will take him seriously, when you see the writing on the wall, if you have any self respect, you walk before you are humiliated but our people have no shame.
