A group, the Greater Lagos Alliance has called for the disqualification of Akinwunmi Ambode, Lagos State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress.

The Group wants Ambode disqualified because of his ”history of mental illness”.

A statement issued by President of the group, Dr. Lanre Adeoye, read, ”We have been working behind the scenes for the enthronement of a new government that would take off from where Governor (Babatunde) Fashola stopped.

”After assessing the two major candidates (Ambode and Jimi Agbaje of the People’s Democratic Party) and made our position known publicly on who to support based on their competencies and comparative advantages, we are sad to announce the withdrawal of our support for the candidate of the APC.

”We met at a sanatorium where I consult and he was quite open about the fact that he has been managing his situation well. But I wasn’t convinced because the job of governing Lagos is not for somebody with such ailment. Lagos demands someone who is 100 per cent mentally and physically fit.

”We are constrained to call on INEC to disqualify Ambode because of his mental imbalance. We cannot take such risk in Lagos State,” Adeoye added.

All progressives Congress has said that if not for election postponement, Valentine’s Day would have being the day of liberation of Nigerians from the incompetent government of Peoples Democratic Party.

In a statement on Friday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, APC said ”Saturday, February 14, 2015 would have been a day of double celebration, of Valentine’s Day and of the liberation of the long-suffering people of Nigeria from the burden imposed on them by a clueless, incompetent and purposeless government of the Peoples Democratic Party.

“But for the insistence of the PDP and the Jonathan Administration that the suffering of Nigerians must be prolonged for another six weeks, the Valentine’s Day would have also marked the celebration of freedom from the PDP servitude by all Nigerians.

“However, those who orchestrated a needless postponement of the elections have only won a Pyrrhic victory as the delay will only further sweeten the joys of victory over the oppressors of the Nigerian people.

“The APC wishes all Nigerians a happy Valentine’s Day, as they join the rest of the world to mark the Day on Saturday, while urging them to prepare to celebrate their imminent liberation from the yoke imposed by the Peoples Democratic Party, under which they have laboured for many years.”
