Governor Akinwunmi Ambode may be sinking deeper, as his deputy Dr Idiat Adebule openly dumped him and confirmed her support for his opponent in the race for the All Progressives Congress, APC’s governorship ticket, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Adebule made her position known while speaking with newshounds at Ward A and D, in Iba Local Council Development Area of Lagos where she participated in the governorship primary of the APC. She explained that, she would endorse the candidate chosen by the party.
“The party has chosen a man and it is that man that I will support and follow,”she said.
The News agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that when the deputy governor arrived at the ward, some of her aides came with Sanwo-Olu’s posters and banners.
At the ward, accreditation started at about 10.36 a. m.as party electoral officials arrived.
There was no formal announcement of the results as the accreditation was brief.
Many party members at the venue started singing the praises of Sanwo-Olu
