Contrary to the broadcast currently circulating social media, that the
Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode has withdrawn from the State’s
governorship race, office of the State Government Has condemned the
report as false and malicious.
The broadcast which was claimed to have been authored by Ambode reads:
“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.
“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 view of this , I hereby endorse Hon Jide Sanwolu to represent our
party for the office of the executive governor of Lagos state”.
However, In a statement released this afternoon by the Chief Press
Secretary to the governor, Habib Aruna, the Governor debunked the
story, said, it is untrue and did not emanate from the Governor’s
office. “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 of some misguided individuals who are hellbent on fanning
the embers of discord within the Lagos APC.
The tremendous strides and infrastructural development embarked upon
by H.E will be completed by him within the constitutional stipulated
time”, the written statement stated.
