Ambode reveals Sanwo-Olu secrets

As the race on who secures the governorship ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos draws near, incumbent governor of Lagos state, Akinwunmi Ambode, says his main challenger, Babajide Sanwo-Olu is not fit to govern the state.

Ambode, on Sunday at a press conference held in Alausa, Lagos, accused Sanwo-Olu of being a fraudster having been arrested in the US for spending fake dollars.

“We have never responded to the campaign of calumny on social media. We have one family in APC. The aspirant being put up to compete against us is not a fit and proper person to take this job,” he said.

“I have done everything in the last three and half years to serve people selflessly and to serve the poor.

“This particular aspirant is somebody that has been arrested for spend fake dollars in a nightclub in America, and he has been detained for months.

“He doesn’t have the competence to do what he is being propelled to do. This is somebody that has gone for rehabilitation before. The records are there at the Gbagada General Hospital. We don’t want to go too far. Our leadership should have a rethink.

“I plead with our leaders to have a rethink, it is not about me, it is about the opportunity that APC has.”

Sanwo-Olu is seen as the major challenger of Akinwunmi Ambode, the incumbent governor of the state.

A former banker, he is believed to have the backing of Mandate Movement, a group loyal to Bola Tinubu, chieftain of the APC.
