LAGOS APC GUBER CRISES:SANWO OLU DARES TINUBU,AMBODE



Lagos – Babajide Sanwoolu, a governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, has expressed his desire to pursue his ambition to become the next governor of the state, saying he will not step down for the incumbent, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

This is as the national leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is reported to be in a dilemma over the fate of Governor Ambode, who is seeking a second term in office as Governor of Lagos State.
Sources said while Tinubu, after entreaties from many prominent Nigerians which include President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice-President President, Yemi Osinbajo, religious leaders and monarchs said he has forgiven Ambode, he added that his foot soldiers in the Mandate Group, the most influential political group in the state are insisting they have had enough of the governor.
According to sources, Tinubu met Adams Oshiomhole, national chairman of the APC in Abuja on Thursday over the fate of the embattled governor.
Oshiomhole, it was reported appealed to Tinubu to consider the negative impact the political crisis in Lagos State will have on the fortunes of the party in the forthcoming general election, saying it will be a disaster if APC loses Lagos to the opposition.
“Oshiomhole told Tinubu to forgive Ambode of whatever offence he may have committed. He said the timing is wrong given the fact that the general elections are just few months away”.
“However in his response, Tinubu pointedly told Oshiomhole that while he has forgiven the governor, his loyalists and party elders are insisting that there is no going back on their resolution not to renew Ambode’s mandate.
“Tinubu said without the party leaders in Lagos, he himself is nothing and therefore he cannot afford to go against their wishes.”
Addressing a press conference yesterday in Ikeja, Lagos, Sanwoolu said Tinubu is a true democrat who will not impose anyone on Lagosians, adding that it is the reason he canvassed for direct primaries where all party members will have a say in who governs them.
